Tokyo Disney Christmas 2026 (Nov 11–Dec 25): Ticket Prices by Date, the 2-Month Sales Window and No New Year's Eve Event

Christmas season at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea runs from November 11 to December 25, 2026. If you are planning a December trip to Tokyo, three things decide how you buy park tickets: the price changes by date, tickets are released on a rolling two-month window at 2:00 p.m. Japan time, and there is no New Year's Eve special event on December 31 this year. This guide lays out the official numbers so you can pick a date before you pay.

DOJI is an independent travel publication. We have no business relationship with Oriental Land Co. or The Walt Disney Company, and this guide is not endorsed by either. Park and event names are used only to identify them. Prices and hours below are from the official Tokyo Disney Resort calendar as shown at 4:20 a.m. JST on October 31, 2026 (3:20 p.m. EDT on October 30), and can change without notice.

The short version

• Event dates: Disney Christmas runs Nov 11 to Dec 25, 2026 at both parks (Oriental Land Co. press release, Sep 9, 2026).
• Adult 1-Day Passport during the event: ¥10,900 to ¥12,400, depending on the date. Both parks show the same price on each date.
• Cheapest days in the season: most weekdays at ¥10,900. Most expensive: Saturdays plus Nov 22 and Dec 25, at ¥12,400.
• When tickets go on sale: every day at 2:00 p.m. JST, for the same date two months later.
• December 31: the "New Year's Eve" special event will not be held at either park. Both parks list normal hours (9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) that day.

Adult 1-Day Passport prices by date (Nov 11 to Dec 25)

These are the official prices for one adult (18+) for one park, the same at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea on every date in this window.

A few patterns worth noting:

• Christmas Eve is cheaper than Christmas Day. Dec 24 is ¥11,900; Dec 25 is ¥12,400.
• The year-end week is a flat ¥11,900. After the event ends, Dec 26 (Saturday) is ¥12,400, then every day from Dec 27 through Jan 2, 2027 is ¥11,900, including weekdays.
• Early November is cheaper but before the event. Nov 2–6 are ¥9,900, the lowest prices on the November calendar. The parade, harbour show and decorations start on Nov 11, but Christmas-themed menus start Nov 1 and Christmas merchandise goes on sale Nov 10.

Junior (12–17) and child (4–11) tickets cost less, and children 3 and under enter free. The official ticket page lists the lowest possible price for each age group, but the price for your exact date is shown when you select it on the calendar.

Two dates with shorter hours

Normal hours during the season are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at both parks. The official calendar shows two exceptions:

• Fri, Nov 27: Tokyo DisneySea closes at 6:30 p.m.
• Fri, Dec 4: Tokyo Disneyland closes at 6:30 p.m.

If evening shows are the reason you are going, avoid that park on that day.

When tickets go on sale: the two-month rule

Tokyo Disney Resort releases park tickets every day at 2:00 p.m. JST for the same date two months later. If that date does not exist in the current month, tickets are released at 2:00 p.m. on the first day of the next month instead. Tickets can also be paused without notice when the daily sales limit is reached, and sold-out dates can reopen without notice.

What that means right now:

• Every event date (Nov 11 to Dec 25) has already been released. Whether a date is still available is shown on the official calendar.
• Dec 31, 2026 tickets go on sale Sat, Oct 31, 2:00 p.m. JST, which is Sat, Oct 31, 1:00 a.m. EDT in Toronto.
• Jan 1, 2027 tickets go on sale Sun, Nov 1, 2:00 p.m. JST, which is 1:00 a.m. EDT in Toronto, an hour before clocks go back.
• From Nov 2 onward, 2:00 p.m. JST is midnight Eastern (EST) at the start of the same date. For example, Jan 15, 2027 tickets go on sale Nov 15 at 2:00 p.m. JST, which is 12:00 a.m. EST on Nov 15 in Toronto.
• Jan 31, 2027 has no matching date in November, so it goes on sale Dec 1 at 2:00 p.m. JST (12:00 a.m. EST on Dec 1).

No New Year's Eve event this year

The official park calendar states that the "New Year's Eve" special event will not be held at Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea on December 31, 2026. Both parks are listed with normal hours, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., at the regular adult price of ¥11,900 that day. If you were hoping to count down to midnight inside a park, plan your New Year's Eve somewhere else.

What is on during Christmas

According to Oriental Land Co.'s press release (Sep 9, 2026), the season includes:

• Tokyo Disneyland: the daytime parade "Toys Wondrous Christmas!" (about 45 minutes, once a day), a Christmas version of "Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights," and Christmas food booths at the new Jolly Food Plaza in front of Cinderella Castle.
• Tokyo DisneySea: "Disney Christmas Greeting" on Mediterranean Harbor (about 15 minutes, twice a day), a Christmas tree at American Waterfront decorated in the 25th-anniversary colour Jubilee Blue, and strolling Christmas music groups.
• Both parks: the fireworks show "Starbright Christmas."
• Longer-running holiday versions: Country Bear Theater's "Jingle Bell Jamboree" (Nov 1, 2026 to Jan 16, 2027) and Haunted Mansion "Holiday Nightmare" (Sep 15, 2026 to Jan 7, 2027) at Tokyo Disneyland, and Duffy and Friends' "Making Winter Warm" (Nov 2, 2026 to Jan 13, 2027) at Tokyo DisneySea.

Entertainment can be changed or cancelled because of weather or other conditions, and the number of shows each day can change.

Before you buy: a checklist

• [ ] Pick the park and date first. Tickets are for one fixed date and one park.
• [ ] Check the price for that date on the official calendar; it varies by day.
• [ ] Avoid TDS on Nov 27 and TDL on Dec 4 if you want evening shows.
• [ ] For Dec 31, be ready at 1:00 a.m. EDT on Oct 31 (Toronto), or check later for availability.
• [ ] Staying at a Disney hotel or a partner hotel? The official site notes separate ticket rules for hotel guests, so check with your hotel.
• [ ] Re-check the event schedule close to your visit, since programs can change.
