Tokyo Disney Resort operator considers lowering theme park ticket prices
The operator of Tokyo Disney Resort has indicated that they may reduce ticket prices for both of its theme parks, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
Oriental Land Company President Wataru Takahashi indicated on Friday that this consideration stems from ongoing inflation, which has prompted more consumers to curb non-essential spending.
Ticket prices for the parks, situated in Urayasu, near Tokyo, typically fluctuate based on anticipated demand.
Currently, a one-day adult ticket for either park ranges from 7,900 yen to 10,900 yen.
A price adjustment would mark a notable shift for the resort, which, like many entertainment venues, has seen varying attendance patterns in recent years.
Takahashi’s comments come as Oriental Land Co. maps out its long-term business strategy extending through to the 2035 financial year, which includes a significant redevelopment of portions of its theme parks.
These redevelopments often aim to enhance visitor experience and introduce new attractions.
Looking further ahead, Takahashi, who assumed the role of president and chief operating officer on April 1st, also provided an update on the company’s planned cruise ship.
Slated to begin operations in the 2028 financial year, the vessel is described as “the integration of a theme park and hotel sailing across the ocean.”
Takahashi expressed the company’s goal to ensure the cruise ship’s successful launch and operation.
He highlighted a key feature: every passenger onboard will be able to experience a show without the common restrictions found in theme parks, such as lottery systems for securing seats.
