Still, there’s a silver lining to these changes. Both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea will offer discounted tickets for guests with disabilities — set at ¥6,600 (US$60) for ages 18 and up, ¥5,500 (US$50) for ages 12 to 17, and ¥3,900 (US$36) for ages four to 11.
According to the resort’s operating company, Oriental Land, the new price hike reflects the costs of staff training and the expansion of new facilities. Moreover, this decision coincides with their plans to open a Beauty and the Beast-themed attraction by Apr 2020.
