Tokyo Disney Resort Annual Passport Blockout Dates and Price Changes Announced
Oriental Land Company, who own and run Tokyo Disney Resort, has announced changes to the parks’ Annual Passport.
From March 1, 2018, the cost of Annual Passports will be slightly cheaper, but blockout dates will not allow passholders to visit on high attendance days.
Current pass holders and passes purchased on or before February 28, 2018, will not be affected.
Blockout Dates
Annual Passports purchased from March 1, 2018, onwards cannot be used on the following high attendance dates.
| 2018 Blockout Dates | |
|---|---|
| August 12, 13, 14 | Obon Festival |
| October 6, 7, 8 | Health and Sports Public Holiday |

| 2019 Blockout Dates | |
| March 28, 29, 30, 31 | Potential start of new event |
| August 12, 13, 14 | Obon Festival |
Blockout dates for September – November 2019 will be released in July 2018.
As well as on these dates the new Annual Passports cannot be used when the parks reach capacity and restrict access.
From March 1, 2018, guests will have two months to redeem their Annual Passport vouchers and start their pass. While vouchers purchased on or before February 28, 2018, can still be activated up to six months after purchase.
