Can It Now Be Cheaper To Fly To Japan, Go to Tokyo Disneyland, Get a Hotel, and Fly Back Than It Is To Go To Walt Disney World In Florida?
The Answer Is…Yes…But It Depends.
It depends on a number of factors:
- What US city you’re departing from
- Time of year
- What hotel you are staying at
According to the Tokyo Disney Resort website, tickets for single-day use range from 7,900-10,900 yen for adults (about $51-70 US. dollars) for adults; 6,600-9,000 yen for ‘juniors’ aged 12-17 (about $42-$58); and 4,700-5,600 yen for children aged 4-11 (about $30-$36).
Meanwhile, Disney World tickets range from $119 at Animal Kingdom to $199-$209 at Magic Kingdom, depending on the season.
Current Price Ranges (Approximate for late 2025/early 2026):
- Magic Kingdom: $139 – $199+
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $119 – $174
- Epcot: $129 – $194
- Hollywood Studios: $139 – $194
For those on the west coast, round-trip Tokyo flights can often drop below $700, hotels in Tokyo near the park can be under $100 a night, and Tokyo Disney tickets start around $60.
Food costs in Japan are also significantly less than in America depending on where you eat.
All things considered, yes it can be cheaper to fly to Tokyo and back to go to Tokyo Disney than it is to go to Orlando for Walt Disney World right now for some in America, depending on where you live and considering cost for tickets, lodging, and food in Japan, combined with good flight deals and exchange rates.
If you live in Orlando, or pretty much anywhere on the East Coast, it is likely still cheaper to go to Walt Disney World in Orlando – though that also depends on where you stay and how many nights and what you are eating.
