Overview
- Tokyo Disney Resort, which confirmed the change on Friday, July 31, 2026, said the free Priority Pass will be discontinued after August 31, 2026 and replaced by paid Premier Access beginning September 1, 2026.
- Premier Access is bought through the Tokyo Disney Resort app and grants a designated entry window or preferred viewing for a single person, with reported per-ride prices commonly ranging from about ¥1,000 to ¥2,500.
- Classic attractions named to move onto Premier Access include Big Thunder Mountain, Pooh’s Hunny Hunt, Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek, and Raging Spirits, and Indiana Jones Adventure is listed to join Premier Access once its current refurbishment finishes.
- The change covers both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea and applies to rides as well as many shows and entertainment viewings that previously used the free Priority Pass system.
- The free Priority Pass began as a limited 40th‑anniversary offering in 2023 and its end completes Tokyo’s alignment with other Disney resorts that charge for queue priority, a shift that will raise out‑of‑pocket costs for visitors and could change standby wait patterns.
