Tokyo Disney hotels compared: Disney, Official or Partner?

To get in first thing, pick a Disney hotel (15 minutes early at Tokyo Disneyland). To stay right by the parks, pick an Official hotel. For families on a budget, pick a Partner hotel in Shin-Urayasu. Saturday nights cost more at the same hotel, so Sunday or weeknights are cheaper.

Four types of hotel: what's the difference?

The resort has tie-ups with 6 Disney hotels, 6 Official hotels and 4 Partner hotels in Shin-Urayasu. The closer to the parks, the easier your morning, and the higher the price. Other nearby hotels have no perks, but many are cheap.

Right by the parks: Official hotels

The 6 Official hotels sit around Bayside Station on the monorail. Take the free Disney Resort Cruiser bus from the hotel to the station, then the monorail to the parks. There's no early entry.

Sources:[1]Official info[6]Official info[7]Official info[8]Official info[9]Official info[10]Official info[16]Official info

The monorail isn't free: ¥300 per ride for adults, ¥150 for primary school kids. If you'll ride several times, the 1-day pass (¥700 for adults) is better value.
If you apply to the hotel in advance, you can buy tickets at the hotel even on days that are sold out online.
Drop your bags at the Welcome Center by Maihama Station (1st floor, 8:00–15:00) and they'll be taken to your hotel.

If your date is sold out, a hotel where you can buy tickets is the sure way in.

What to do next

Choosing a hotel? Just do this

  1. When you choose
    • Decide what matters most: getting in first thing, kids' bath and space, or price

  2. When you book
    • Book Disney hotels at 11:00 on the same date 4 months ahead
