Are you visiting Tokyo Disneyland and want to stay as close to the park as possible while still enjoying the comfortable rooms and unique décor? Tokyo Disneyland Hotel might be the best Tokyo Disney hotel for you. Here’s the experience of a recent vacation there.
What it’s like at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel
The Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is located right near the Disney Resort Line Station (also known as the monorail) and the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland. It feels like an extension of what Main Street intersects with Disney Grand Floridian Resort and Spa in Floridathanks to its grand, festive style such as its spacious staircase and soaring chandeliers.

While there may be a slower line at check-in, the public spaces are tidy and in good condition, and the service is polite and helpful. The presence of various English-speaking actors is an added benefit.
How much does Tokyo Disneyland Hotel cost and how to book a room?
While prices vary based on dates and room types, currently the cheapest rates start around $390 per night. Convenient and somewhat unusual for Japan, there are rooms for three and four adult guests, making them great for families. Room rates listed are generally for two adults and up to two children 11 years of age or younger, per person fees may apply otherwise.
You can book accommodation online four months in advance; Some room types sell out quickly, so book early. There is a deposit of USD 200 per room at the time of booking. The remainder is paid upon check-in.
I recommend themed rooms based on movies like “Alice in Wonderland” and characters like Tinkerbell. We chose “Beauty and the Beast”, which has three single beds and cost about $570 for a one-night stay in mid-March.
Rooms at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel
Our “Beauty and the Beast” room features magical furnishings, turquoise hues, and lavish accents. It features sconces, fairy tale castle-inspired curtains, and an exaggerated headboard with a rose motif that makes it feel like a castle room filled with books and Belle’s friends. It puts the theme of this story into much more detail than you usually see at Disney hotels in the US. Even the cups and toiletries in the bathroom are themed.
The bed is a bit hard but that’s normal in Japan; Many of the pajamas we found in the wardrobe were convenient to borrow.

We couldn’t love this spacious and character-filled room more, as it’s both functional and brightly themed, cheerful and full of fun.

Insider tip: If you happen to be looking out a window facing the park when it closes for the night, turn off the lights in the room and use your phone’s flashlight to wave to those going home for the evening . Odds are high they will signal a return.
What we ate at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel
There are three restaurants at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel: Sherwood Garden (buffet-style dining), Canna (finer dining), and Dreamers Lounge in the lobby. You can make reservations online for the first two restaurants, but we just went into the lounge for breakfast.
The buffet costs only 24 USD for adults, 14 USD for children from 7 to 12 years old and 8 USD for children from 4 to 6 years old – a great price compared to Disney prices in the US. There are Japanese and Western staples such as miso soup, rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, cakes, sliced fruit and juices. It’s a simple breakfast but feels elegant thanks to the refined service and grand ambience.

Bottom line
Although our time at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel was brief, it felt magical and epic – a real highlight of our trip.
Although this is the closest hotel to Tokyo Disneyland, you can spend some time here and then move to one of the two closest hotels to Tokyo DisneySea (Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel and Tokyo DisneySea MiraCosta Hotel) and The Fantasy Spring area is about to open for tours. the rest. Additionally, staff will move your luggage for free.
But for feeling like you’re sleeping in a real castle, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel takes the crown.
