Hong Kong Disneyland Resort will raise ticket prices by as much as 13 per cent for some categories starting on Wednesday, while offering limited-time deals for cheaper day entrance for groups and annual pass holders.
One-day tickets to the theme park on Lantau Island will cost 5 to 7 per cent more and annual membership prices will increase by 3 to 13 per cent higher.
The most expensive “Tier 4” one-day ticket, which allows visits during the most popular days and seasons, will cost HK$939 (US$120) for an adult, and HK$705 for children and the elderly.
The cheapest one-day ticket will cost 4.6 per cent more at HK$669 per adult and 5 per cent more for children and the elderly at HK$499.
Disneyland said it would continue to offer one-day tickets to residents aged 60 or above with JoyYou cards for HK$100.
The top-tier annual pass, the platinum membership of Magic Access, will cost HK$4,998, while children, students and the elderly will have to pay HK$3,748.

But the park is incentivising returning visitors by offering discounts for annual pass holders, while lowering the age threshold for those considered elderly to 60.
Disneyland will provide 15 per cent off for buying three or more Magic Access memberships, savings of up to HK$3,066.
With the limited offer, a package for four adults with “Tier 3” tickets is priced at HK$2,556, resulting in savings of HK$840 under the new pricing.
Existing holders of annual membership are offered up to 30 per cent off on prices for renewal.
The theme park marked nine straight years of losses in the financial year ending September 30, 2023, even though net losses shrank 83 per cent to HK$356 million while visitor numbers jumped 87 per cent to 6.4 million.
Gary Ng Cheuk-yan, a senior economist with Natixis Corporate and Investment Bank, said it was crucial for the theme park to maintain its uniqueness while coming up with ways to keep visitors.
“It shows the importance of having unique intellectual property and exclusive elements,” Ng said, referring to the world’s first Frozen-themed land.
“Despite the price hike, its annual pass programme has also created a recurring incentive to retain customers. It is a good example for Hong Kong businesses to learn how to differentiate themselves from global competitors.”
Tourism in Hong Kong continued has continued to recover this year. In August, 9.2 per cent more tourists visited the city at 4.5 million, the Hong Kong Tourism Board said.
In the first eight months of 2024, tourist arrivals soared 43.7 per cent year on year to 29.5 million.
