Tokyo Disney Resort just had the best first half in its history for sales and profit. Oriental Land Co., the company that owns and operates Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea under license from Disney, reported on October 29, 2026 that net sales, operating profit and operating cash flow all hit record highs from April through September, driven largely by the Tokyo DisneySea 25th anniversary celebration.
Attendance at the two parks rose 6.9% to 13.10 million guests, and Oriental Land’s total net sales reached ¥348.7 billion, or about $2.2 billion. The average guest spent a record ¥18,940, about $121. Dollar figures in this story use roughly 156 yen to the dollar. Merchandise drove most of that jump, up almost 11% per guest on the strength of 25th anniversary souvenirs, and food and beverage spending also climbed. Spending on attractions and shows stayed flat, and Oriental Land said Disney Premier Access, the resort’s paid line-skipping service, now makes up more than 10% of that number.
Oriental Land now expects 28.5 million guests for the full fiscal year ending in March 2027, up from its original forecast of 28 million and from 27.53 million last year, with record full-year sales of ¥763.3 billion, about $4.9 billion. That is still below the resort’s peak of more than 32 million guests in 2018, but with variable ticket pricing and paid extras, each guest is spending more than ever.

The resort’s Disney hotels were busy too. Occupancy hit 94.8% in the first half, and the average room went for ¥68,332, about $438 a night.
What’s Coming Next at Tokyo Disney Resort
The next big date is November 30, 2026, when Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull reopens at Tokyo DisneySea after a refurbishment that adds new projection effects and updated sound. It will join Disney Premier Access at ¥1,500, about $10. Over at Tokyo Disneyland, Minnie’s Funderland, the seventh event in the Disney Pal-Palooza series, runs January 13 through March 31, 2027.
Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the first Wreck-It Ralph ride anywhere, opens at Tokyo Disneyland on April 15, 2027. Oriental Land put its cost at about ¥29.5 billion, or roughly $189 million, and listed its Disney Premier Access price at ¥3,000, about $19. That is the highest price for any attraction on the resort’s current Premier Access list. Space Mountain Earthrise and a new Tomorrowland Plaza are also on the way in 2027.
Tokyo DisneySea gets a new stage show called Bring the Rhythm! in fall 2027, a project Oriental Land valued at about ¥10 billion, roughly $64 million. The company is also spending on a renovation of the Tokyo DisneySea main entrance. And starting in the fiscal year that begins in April 2027, guests are scheduled to be able to buy Disney Premier Access before their visit instead of only on the day. Looking further out, Tokyo Disney Resort turns 45 in 2028.
New Details on Disney Imagination, Japan’s First Disney Cruise Ship
Oriental Land revealed the name of its first ship, Disney Imagination, at a ceremony in Tokyo on October 14, with Ariel and friends set to appear on the stern. Today’s results filled in the business side. The Japanese-flagged ship is based on the Disney Wish, with some elements adapted for Japanese guests. Oriental Land lists it at about 140,000 gross tons with about 1,250 guest rooms, room for about 4,000 guests and a crew of about 1,500.
Disney Imagination is set to start sailing in spring 2029 from the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal, mostly on two- to four-night cruises. Oriental Land expects most fares to land between ¥100,000 and ¥300,000 per person for the most common room type, about $640 to $1,920. Plans include a theater with more than 1,300 seats for stage shows, some of them original, deck shows with Disney characters, character greetings in exclusive Disney cruise outfits, about 30 places to eat including three main restaurants with menus that change daily, and shops with merchandise you can only get on board.
The ship itself costs ¥290 billion, about $1.86 billion, plus another ¥40 billion set aside for contingencies. Oriental Land expects about ¥100 billion in yearly sales and 400,000 passengers a year within the first several years, and it says a second ship will be considered once the first one is on track. The company sees plenty of room to grow, noting that only about 0.2% of people in Japan take a cruise each year, compared with 5.9% in the United States.
