Walt Disney World Prices vs. Tokyo Disneyland? | Tickets, Hotels, Food, & Merchandise

With prices going up at the Disney Parks, I wanted to show the price differences between Tokyo Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Showing that Tokyo Disney can be a viable option (once travel reopens) for your next trip instead of Walt Disney World. I show you the price differences between park tickets, hotels, food, and merchandise!

Today’s video is sponsored by WDW Magazine, where to get your Disney fix with their monthly print and digital magazine! It’s a great way to stay updated with the happenings at Walt Disney World and other Disney Parks around the world, including Tokyo Disneyland!

Hi, 👋🏽 My name is Chris, aka TDRExplorer, and I started sharing my theme park adventures. Over the years, TDRExplorer has evolved into a resource for passionate theme park fans looking to make the best of their trips to Asia. Including Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan!

I was fortunate to visit the Tokyo Disneyland resort a couple of years back and as a non-fanatical Disney fan I was so impressed with everything. Tokyo takes everything to the next level. Now after spending five days at the resort what made me mad and sad all at the same time is that we Americans pay more and get less when it comes to a Disney experience. If you are a Disney fan save your lunch money and go spend a week there. It will be the best decision that you have ever made.

Would love to see a comparison with Disneyland in CA. Casually watching vids I’ve noticed prices are generally higher in CA than FL, esp for food. Nice to see the Japan prices are comparable, and good grief I’d love smaller drinks for sure! Just need to save for the plane ticket! Thx, this was very informative 😄

Price! I told my husband most things in Tokyo Disney were less, now I have proof. Thanks for a great video!

We were at WDW just last month for the last HEA fireworks and visited all 4 parks. We didn't stay within the Disney resorts because there really weren't any perks. Even transportation-wise, TDR is still better because although the monorail at WDW is free, you still need to park your car in the lot in order to take that monorail, and parking for one day will cost you $25. That's alot cheaper than taking the monorail at TDR. Plus, TDR is just all around better. Japan over Orlando any day! Just waiting for the borders to welcome us back! 😊 Awesome video as usual! 👏🏼

I went to Tokyo Disneyland back in July 2018. It was probably the best disney experience I had in all my life. The price tickets were so low compared to florida (which shocked me since Tokyo is expensive), the cast members were so friendly and tried their best to help me, themed ambience. It was like the best version of all parks together. Japan takes everything onto the next level. If you ever visit Japan, please don't doubt a second on visiting it.

Just a tip, you can always choose a hotel near Disney at Tokyo Bay (about a 10mins bus ride away), where the hotels are outside Disney but still offer frequent tour buses to Disneyland and back. Those hotels usually also have buses that go to and from the airport.

#price I found accommodations the most surprising difference, since that will likely be your biggest ticket expense beyond flights. Definitely makes a trip to Japan seem more worth it, once we can travel from the US. Thanks for all the great intel!

Last week we spent $110/night (after all fees for parking and the resort fee) at the "Holiday Inn Orlando Disney Springs Area", a good neighbor resort, which basically shares a parking lot with the Hilton you listed at 16:00. We had a good time there and the room was pretty nice.

Also, the ticket prices at Disney World change drastically based on the day of the week you are visiting, the time of year (value, choice, etc), and the number of days you buy at once. In order to keep you there on campus longer, Disney will try to entice you with longer stays dropping the price significantly after the 5th day. Multiday ticket prices used to drop after the 3rd day but, you know, Disney be Disney. All of that said, the $110/ticket price that Disney shows is super rare and only occurs between the end of August and the end of September, during the middle of the week, year when kids start going back to school. The average cost for tickets at Disney for now (until they bump the rates again) is $135 for a single ticket to a single park with no addons.

Price! This is super useful, great work Chris and the TDR team! Also, I appreciate how you changed your t-shirt for every section. :D

Loved this video as an Australian that’s been to Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong Disney I always compare to Tokyo and don’t know if I would be disappointed travelling all the way to Florida as it is double the cost of an airfare to Tokyo.

Perhaps Tokyo will just be my go to resort.

Thanks so much Again for another great video !!!! 🐭

[metalseraphim]

Love the video. Me and my wife are planning a trip in 2023 and your videos have been great. Also speaking as a person who lived in orlando for 8 years you were generous about the WDW pricing lol

[noedlesoup]

Would love an updated video on this with all the changes in the past year!

[karenpaet]

This is a great video! We are Disney fans. We’ve been to Disney World several times and also visited Tokyo Disney parks which we ❤️. We’re going on a Disney Cruise and Disney World next week. We will definitely return on Japan when they reopen to visitors! Although a Disney World vacation is more expensive, they do have a lot more to offer.

[fershimosgi]

Great video Chris! This will be super helpful for planning my trip hopefully in 2023-24 😭💖 I'm a big fan of yours, keep doing amazing content. Love from Mexico ♡

[leahjacobs]

Price! I'm planning a trip to Japan in 2023 Spring and LOVE your videos! I can't get enough lol. I enjoy the vlog style as well as these informational ones. Keep up the good work

[oohmeshreddies]

Love these videos. Complete escapism for me.. Would love to see more on ghibli and anime parks

[nicoleng-ihzw]

i love that this video exists, you’re an amazing resource for tokyo disney! thank you!

[DGExplorers]

Very helpful in comparing what the difference in costs are. We are in California so it’s a lot easier for us to visit Disneyland, where as we have to plan for Florida. So much easier In knowing what to expect. Thank you and great job. Key word price

[zyphilus]

Thank for sharing. Actually I used to visited only park in Asia (except Shanghai), so it's very interesting about price in other parks. Btw I still give the best park award to Japan, not only because they have such a beautiful park, but also the kindness of cast member is in the gold standard.

[Parkaholic]

#price loved this! I had a bunch that Tokyo was less expensive and it was great to see the proof. Keep doing them, please!
