Although I wonder about just getting an After 6pm ticket for 9/28, a regular ticket for TDS our full disney day of 9/29, then a TDL ticket for morning of 9/30.
So how does online ticket purchase work from the U.S. work vs. purchasing from a convenience store in Japan. Is there a Will Call desk like in the U.S.?
Based on the
Park Operating Calendar, and specifically, the absence of the "P" icon for any of your dates, I would say you've picked a relatively quiet weekend to visit TDS and TDL. Compare your dates on the operating calendar with every weekend in October to see what I mean.
P: denotes day when Guest parking and surrounding roads are expected to be highly congested.
Sorry, I don't have experience purchasing tickets online via TDR's web site or from a convenience store, and can't speak to how will-call works. I've purchased tickets at HTB (cash only) and at the gate (cash or any major international credit card accepted). If you speak Japanese (even a little), go ahead and try will-call or convenience store, but if not, I suggest just purchasing tickets at the gate - that ALWAYS works (and is easy)! Just get to the theme park gate about 60-80 minutes in advance of park open time on the first day to purchase tickets and get towards the front of the queue for admission, unless you decide to get the after-6 the first day, in which case you'd want to get to the gate maybe 45 minutes in advance to buy the tickets and then join the after-6-entry queue. You'd be able to buy all the tickets you need with just one visit to the ticket booth.
