Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
One Disney resort is raising its parking prices by 33%.
Disney guests have grown used to frequent price hikes in recent years. At Walt Disney World Resort, a one-day ticket to Magic Kingdom can now cost more than $200, while its annual passes jumped by $20 to $80 across all tiers in late 2025.
Merchandise, food, and extras such as Lightning Lanes and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary tickets have also experienced similar increases, while Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Paris, and beyond have been hit by their own set of increases.
Parking has also felt the burn. In October, Disney World raised standard pricing from $30 to $35, while oversized parking rose from $35 to $40. Preferred parking now costs between $50 and $60, up from $45 to $55. That same month, standard parking at Disneyland jumped from $35 to $40.
Disney World is also cracking down on a free parking hack long utilized by guests via Disney Springs.
Now, another round of parking price increases has taken effect.
Disney Parks Increase Parking Prices Today
Tokyo Disney Resort is increasing its parking prices by 33% – however, parking at the Japanese theme park resort is still considerably cheaper than parking in the U.S.
As of June 16, guests must pay 4,000 yen ($25) to park regular cars and 6,000 yen ($37) for large vehicles. That’s a 1,000 yen, or 33%, increase.
Unlike Disneyland and Disney World, Tokyo Disney Resort hasn’t increased its parking prices in 10 years.
Oriental Land Company explained that “the price revision was decided in consideration of increased maintenance costs, usage patterns, and market prices.”
Tokyo Disney Resort has a representation for lower prices than the U.S. parks. A one-day ticket to Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea starts from as low as 7,900 yen ($49), while a night at its cheapest hotel – Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel – starts at around 21,500 yen ($134).
Food and merchandise are also comparatively more affordable, with Mickey ears famously costing between $10 and $15 apiece.
The price increase comes as Tokyo Disney Resort prepares to kick off its Summer Cool-Off event on July 2. Running until September 14, this features a series of offerings designed to help guests stay cool in Tokyo’s humid summer heat – including Baymax’s Mission: Cool Down, Splash Mountain Get Soaked MAX Plus, Gadget’s Go Coaster Get Soaked Version, and Get Soaked Toontown – as well as a special edition of the nighttime projections show Reach for the Stars ahead of its finale.
