Hong Kong Disneyland is increasing its one-day ticket prices by as much as seven percent, effective today.

The cheapest adult day pass will now cost HK$669, up from HK$639.

Membership annual pass prices will also see increases ranging from 3 to 13 percent, translating to a rise of HK$100 to HK$400.

Disneyland said starting today, children and elderly guests will face the same ticket prices, aligning with other theme parks and attractions in Hong Kong and nearby regions.

Also, the park said the prices for its Magic Access memberships for children, students, and seniors will be standardized.

"The age requirement for senior tickets and senior Magic Access memberships will be lowered to 60 from 65, benefiting more elderly visitors," the park said.

Disneyland will continue to offer HK$100 discounted one-day tickets for JoyYou card holders.

The theme park announced the price for its Tier 1 single-day ticket on regular days will now be HK$669 for adults and HK$499 for children or seniors, up from the previous HK$475 per ticket.

For the most sought-after Tier 4 tickets during peak times, prices will rise to HK$939 from HK$879 for adults and to HK$705 from HK$659 for children and seniors.

In terms of membership, Disneyland said a silver membership, which allows entry on most weekdays except public holidays, will rise to HK$1,568 from HK$1,468 for adults. For children, students, and seniors, the silver annual pass will now cost HK$1,178.

Adults will see an increase of HK$190 for a gold membership, which grants access on most weekdays, weekends, and designated public holidays, raising the price to HK$2,748 from HK$2,558.

The most expensive platinum membership, which allows access anytime, will see its price surge to HK$4,998 from HK$4,678 for adults and to HK$3,748 from HK$3,368 for children, students, and seniors.

Despite these increases, Disneyland said it is offering a group ticket deal for Hong Kong residents, allowing savings of up to HK$840.

For new members, those purchasing three or more new memberships in a single transaction on or before December 18 can enjoy a 15 percent discount, potentially saving up to HK$3,066.
