A hotel stay at Tokyo Disney Resort is an adventure!

After the travel, queuing, and walking around the world-class theme parks Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, relaxing at a Tokyo Disney Resort hotel will be a wonderful treat.

By staying at one of the Tokyo Disney Resort hotels, your Disney trip does not end after the fireworks and parades have ended. Instead, immerse yourself in the excitement of Disney from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to sleep.

Tokyo Disney Resorts have paid great attention to detail in creating their signature hotels.

You’ll be blown away by the impressive theming and atmosphere, whether it’s the Victorian elegance of the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel or the tropical paradise of the Disney Ambassador Hotel.

Staying at Tokyo Disney Resort hotels is super convenient

The #1 advantage of a Tokyo Disney Resort hotel stay is the convenience factor.

The Disney hotels are located just steps away from the theme parks, so you can come and go as you please throughout the day.

Parents can take a break from the excitement of the parks, and retreat to a hotel room to let a young child have a much-needed afternoon nap or some downtime before heading back out to enjoy more of the fun.

The location and accessibility of a Tokyo Disney Resort hotel also make it a great choice for enjoying the Tokyo Disney theme parks while also having easy access to Tokyo and its many attractions.

Use a Tokyo Disney Resort hotel as your base for a trip to Tokyo.

The resort is located just outside of the city and you can travel into the city easily using one of the shuttle buses to Maihama Station provided by the resort.

Early entry to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea

Anyone serious about experiencing as much as possible in Tokyo Disneyland or DisneySea will know that joining a long queue for entry is a real hassle.

But as a guest of a Tokyo Disney Resort hotel, you can enter the parks between 15 and 30 minutes before they open to the general public.

Beat the queues and take advantage of this time to ride the most popular attractions.

Another great benefit is that hotel guests are guaranteed admission to the theme parks, even if admission starts to be restricted due to high numbers of visitors.
