Online Travel Agencies
These platforms offer hotel-only bookings and are ideal for travelers who want to compare prices or use loyalty points. The agencies include such as Hotels.com, and Expedia.
Reservation Start Dates
- Bookings on these platforms typically become available after the official site opens reservations, often with a slight delay.
Important Note
These sites may not always include full Disney-exclusive benefits (such as guaranteed park ticket access or early entry). Be sure to carefully review the plan details before booking.
3: Key Benefits of Staying at a Disney Tokyo Hotel
Staying at an official Disney Tokyo Hotel comes with exclusive perks that can enhance your entire park experience. These benefits are designed to make your trip smoother, more convenient, and more magical from start to finish.
1. Guaranteed Park Entry
All guests staying at a Disney hotel are guaranteed admission to Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea, even when park capacity is limited. This is especially reassuring during busy seasons or special events.
2. Early Entry with “Happy Entry”
Guests staying at Disney Tokyo Hotels can enter the parks early before general admission with a special benefit called Happy Entry. Although it’s only a 15-minute head start at most, this can be a game-changer at the ever-popular Tokyo Disney Resort.
With Happy Entry, guests can:
Queue early for popular attractions
Use the app to reserve Standby Passes, Priority Passes, and lottery entries for shows and character greetings — these often run out minutes after opening
Take photos with Disney characters at the entrance before the area becomes crowded
Important: Not all Disney hotels offer Happy Entry for both parks. The entry time and eligibility vary by date and park.
Happy Entry Eligibility – Until August 31, 2025
| Park | Eligible Hotels | Entry Time |
|---|---|---|
|
Tokyo Disneyland |
Fantasy Springs Hotel, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel, Hotel MiraCosta, Toy Story Hotel, Celebration Hotel |
15 minutes before general entry |
|
Tokyo DisneySea |
Fantasy Springs Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel, Hotel MiraCosta |
15 minutes before general entry |
Happy Entry Eligibility – From September 1, 2025
Due to entrance area renovations at Tokyo DisneySea, expected to continue through fiscal 2028, Happy Entry procedures will be partially adjusted. Please check official updates prior to your stay, as entry times may vary based on park operations or construction schedules.
| Park | Eligible Hotels | Entry Time |
|---|---|---|
|
Tokyo Disneyland |
Fantasy Springs Hotel, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel, Hotel MiraCosta, Toy Story Hotel, Celebration Hotel |
15 minutes before general entry |
|
Tokyo DisneySea |
Fantasy Springs Hotel, Hotel MiraCosta |
5 to 15 minutes before general entry |
3. Proximity and Convenience
Official Disney hotels are either inside the park or located within a short walking distance or monorail ride, offering a smooth and stress-free stay. This makes it easy to:
Return to your hotel for breaks or naps
Access both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea effortlessly
Travel comfortably with young children or elderly guests
Among them, Hotel MiraCosta is uniquely positioned inside Tokyo DisneySea, with rooms overlooking Mediterranean Harbor, where park shows take place. Depending on your room, you may enjoy the rare experience of viewing shows from your window (room location cannot be guaranteed and is assigned upon check-in).
However, please note:
Toy Story Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel, and especially Celebration Hotel are located further from the parks. While still part of the official hotel lineup, these options require additional travel time and may not be as convenient for quick returns during the day.
4. Amenities and Disney Shops
For Disney fans, the exclusive amenities offered at official Disney hotels are a true delight. Some hotel shops and restaurants are also accessible only to hotel guests, adding a sense of exclusivity to your stay.
For example, at the Toy Story Hotel, guests can enjoy access to “Gift Planet,” a retail shop open exclusively to hotel guests. It offers limited-edition merchandise you won’t find anywhere else. In addition, guests can dine at the Lotso Garden Café, a themed restaurant that enhances the immersive Toy Story experience.
5. Use of the Welcome Center
Located just a one-minute walk from the JR Maihama Station exit, the Tokyo Disney Resort Welcome Center offers convenient services, especially for guests carrying large bags or suitcases.
One of the most helpful services is baggage delivery. If you’re staying at one of the following hotels, you can drop off your luggage at the Welcome Center and have it delivered directly to your hotel:
Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel
Disney Ambassador Hotel
Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta
Tokyo Disneyland Hotel
Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel
For your return trip, you can also leave your luggage with the hotel at checkout and pick it up later at the Welcome Center, allowing you to enjoy the park hands-free until departure.
For more details, please refer to the official Tokyo Disney Resort website.
4: Tips for Booking a Disney Hotel in Tokyo
Some popular rooms—like Harbor View at Hotel MiraCosta, Character Rooms at Ambassador Hotel, or any room at the new Fantasy Springs Hotel—can sell out within minutes. Here are tips to help secure your booking:
Prepare before 11:00 AM (reservation start time):
Don’t try to access the official booking website exactly at 11:00 AM. High traffic often makes the site hard to load. Open the site in advance and get ready to click the “Search” button right at 11:00 AM.Decide your hotel and room type in advance:
If you search for room types after the site opens, the most popular options may already be gone. Know exactly what hotel and room you want before bookings open.Check often for cancellations:
Rooms may become available again as guests cancel.
Cancellation fees begin to apply from:14 days before the check-in date for hotel-only bookings
20 days before the check-in date for vacation packages
These timeframes often lead to last-minute cancellations, so it’s worth checking the website regularly.
