Best Tokyo Disney Hotels: Our Rankings of All Onsite Hotels

This page contains affiliate links. Please read our disclosure for more info.

Staying at a Tokyo Disney Hotel has become an important part of our park experience, and we look forward to it as much as the rides and shows.

Tokyo Disney Resort has five beautifully themed onsite hotels within a short distance of the two parks, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.

Two of the hotels are even within DisneySea park. Having a view into the park, even after all the guests have left, is a unique experience you won’t find at other Disney parks worldwide.

In the 15 years we’ve been visiting Tokyo Disney, we’ve stayed at all the onsite hotels, as well as more affordable hotels near the parks.

In this guide, I rank the best Tokyo Disney hotels, help you decide if staying onsite is for you, and share costs and other tips to make the most of your stay.

Plus there’s a map at the end to help you get your bearings.

Why Stay Onsite in a Tokyo Disney Hotel?

Simon and Erin in Fantasy Springs, DisneySea.
Simon and I in Fantasy Springs. We love the direct entrance here from Fantasy Springs Hotel.

We have visited Tokyo Disney from central Tokyo, and while it is possible, we much prefer to stay nearby to reduce our commute time, avoid packed rush-hour trains, and take afternoon breaks.

Staying in a non-Disney hotel nearby is the affordable option (I have recommendations below), but we much prefer to stay in an onsite Tokyo Disney hotel for these reasons:

  • Happy Entry – You can enter the parks 15 minutes early, which makes all the difference. You avoid the chaotic main entrance queue, get first dibs on Premier Access passes, and can ride at least one ride without long waits. Not all hotels have Happy Entry to DisneySea, though.
  • Easy Commute – The locations of our top 3 hotels can not be beat. We are often at the park gates in minutes after leaving our room.
  • Disney Bubble – The theming and vibes at the Disney hotels are magic and make your whole stay feel special. They are not just a place to sleep; they are an experience.
  • Park Views – We’ve watched the night show from our Miracosta room and the fireworks from our Disneyland Hotel room. Seeing DisneySea empty in the early morning from Miracosta is one of my favourite experiences.
Empty DisneySea view from Hotel Miracosta Piazza View room.
Empty DisneySea from our Hotel Miracosta Piazza View room.
  • Advance Restaurant Booking – You get a head start on restaurant bookings if you use the Travel Case section of your Tokyo Disney account after booking a hotel. You can book restaurants at 9am JST one month before check in (instead of 10am). If you book for later in your stay, you are almost guaranteed to get the restaurant you want.
  • Luggage Transfer – They will transfer luggage between Disney hotels seamlessly. Just request this on the TV and leave your bags in the room. They will usually be in your next room when you check in at 3pm. We have done this many times, and it makes split stays so easy.
  • Souvenirs – Hotel rooms have cute, hotel-themed amenities you can take home, including reusable shopping bags, slippers, plastic mugs, toiletries (although no longer in tins), and postcards. You can not take home pyjamas.
Tokyo Disney hotel postcards framed.
We love the hotels so much that we framed the free postcards you get at each hotel.

Reasons Not to Stay in a Tokyo Disney Hotel

  • Price – These hotels are expensive, and you could save money by staying at a non-Disney hotel. (Although they are more affordable than comparable Deluxe Disney hotels worldwide).
  • Availability – Some of the hotels sell out within minutes of rooms being released four months in advance. I have been up in the middle of the night many times to secure my booking. It’s a hassle, for sure.
  • Limited Time – If you only plan to spend one day at the parks, it might be easier to not move hotels from Central Tokyo (such as Shinjuku, our pick for first timers).

Best Tokyo Disney Hotels Ranked

These are our rankings of the Tokyo Disney Resort onsite hotels from our least favourite to the one we choose to stay at the most.

We genuinely love all these hotels, though, and would happily stay at any of them again.

5) Toy Story Hotel

Slinky Dog Park at the entrance to Toy Story Hotel, Tokyo Disney.
Slinky Dog Park at the entrance to Toy Story Hotel.
  • Location: 5 min walk to Bayside Monorail Station and Fantasy Springs Entrance to DisneySea.
  • Category: Moderate
  • Happy Entry: Tokyo Disneyland
  • Example Cost: 60,500 yen ($382) in December.
  • Website: Toy Story Hotel

Toy Story Hotel is the only moderate category hotel on this list, and that’s probably why it’s lowest in our rankings—it’s just more basic than the other hotels.

That said, if you have kids or are on a budget, this hotel will likely be your top choice.

The Vibe

View of Toy Friends Square and Tokyo Bay from Toy Story Hotel room at Tokyo Disney Resort.
View of Toy Friends Square and Tokyo Bay from our room.

The theming is the most overtly Disney of all the hotels. It’s cute, colourful, and over-the-top.

I found it a little overstimulating after a day in the parks (I prefer the more adult vibe of the other hotels), but if you are a big Toy Story fan, you’ll love it.

Two outdoor play areas feature oversized Toy Story characters. Fun for kids and great for photos. This is the only hotel with an outdoor play area (Ambassador has an indoor playground).

The Lotso Garden Cafe (open for breakfast and dinner buffets) has fun details too, but it’s very loud with lots of kids.

The Location

It’s across the road from Bayside Monorail Station and the Fantasy Springs entrance to DisneySea (it took us 10 minutes from our room including the elevator).

Unfortunately, you can only use the Fantasy Springs entrance after 10am. Earlier than that, you have to take the monorail to the main entrance, but we just waited until 10 to avoid the massive queues at the front and walked right in.

To get to Tokyo Disneyland, you take the monorail, which takes about 10 minutes there (although it was 25 minutes from our room, including waiting) and 3 minutes back.

It’s next to Hilton Tokyo Bay, so it’s handy if you want to combine stays, as we did. They both have long driveways, though, so the walk takes about 5 minutes.

Note that non-guests can not enter this hotel (or Fantasy Springs Hotel), so you will have to show proof of stay to enter the grounds.

The Rooms

Toy Story Hotel room at Tokyo Disney.
Pretty much all the rooms look like this.

There isn’t much variety between the rooms. They all have the same Andy’s Bedroom decor with two twin beds plus a trundle bed. Some also have a pull-down bed and can accommodate 4 people.

The main choice is the view, either looking towards the park (you might see the fireworks), Tokyo Bay, or Toy Friends Square (which we chose).

The details are really cute, including an Etch-a-Sketch TV, Mickey watch clock, and posters.

The room isn’t a bad size for Tokyo, but it’s smaller than the other hotels and has limited storage (just a few hangers).

We had space to leave two suitcases open, but that would be tricky if you used the trundle bed.

There is a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, and a small table with one uncomfortable chair.

The bathroom has the three-room layout you find at all Tokyo Disney hotels, with a sink area between a separate toilet and a bath/shower wet room.

The bath is small for adults (it’s bigger at all the other hotels).

Facilities

The hotel has a buffet restaurant (book as soon as you secure your room), a gift shop, a convenience store, and a coin laundry.

4) Disney Ambassador Hotel

Ambassador Hotel lobby at Tokyo Disney Resort.
Ambassador Hotel lobby.
  • Location: By Ikspiari mall. Approx 15 minute walk to both parks.
  • Category: Deluxe
  • Happy Entry: Tokyo Disneyland
  • Example Cost: 66,500 yen ($420) in December.
  • Website: Disney Ambassador Hotel

The Ambassador Hotel is a good value option if you are looking for more comfort than the Toy Story Hotel and want to be within walking distance of both parks.

It also has the most availability, which is honestly the only reason we booked it for our last-minute visit.

We enjoyed our stay, but I don’t feel as excited about it as I do about our top 3.

The Vibe

It’s themed to 1930s America, during the golden age of Hollywood, with Art Deco design and a sprinkling of Disney characters.

The palm trees add a California vibe, and the corridors feel like you are on a cruise ship.

The Location

The Ambassador Hotel is located next to the Ikspiari shopping centre and a short walk from Maihama train station, the gateway to Tokyo Disney.

I recommend walking around the side of the mall rather than through the confusing interior. This way only took us 5 minutes.

It is located between Disneyland and DisneySea and is a 10-15 minute walk to both.

The Rooms

Chip and Dale twin room at Ambassador Hotel Tokyo Disney.
Our Chip and Dale twin room.

We booked a standard room with twin beds (some doubles are available if you book early).

Many character-themed rooms are available, and we were upgraded to a Chip and Dale room, which we loved.

The wallpaper and artwork have lots of cute details, but it’s not over the top.

Our room was spacious, with a couch and a table and chairs. We even had a balcony overlooking the hotel entrance (covered in scaffolding during our visit).

Couch and table and chairs in the Chip and Dale twin room at Ambassador Hotel Tokyo Disney.

There’s a fridge, tea and coffee-making facilities, and a three-room Japanese bathroom layout (with a better-sized bath than Toy Story).

It was the noisiest hotel we stayed in, but maybe we got unlucky. We could hear plumbing above and the kids next door due to a connecting door.

Facilities

The hotel has a gift shop, convenience store, indoor playground, two restaurants (including a character buffet), and a lounge/bar.

In addition, the bakery/deli, Tick Tock Diner, is the only casual restaurant at any of the hotels, but it has limited hours. We picked up pastries to take away in the morning.

There’s no room service, but you can order takeout from the restaurant (no vegetarian options).

The outdoor pool (July to early September) is the biggest Disney pool and looks lovely. As with all the pools, there’s a 3000 yen ($19) fee.

Happy Entry at the hotels works best when combined with line-skipping passes. See my guide to Tokyo Disney Premier Access for everything you need to know.

3) Fantasy Springs Hotel (Fantasy Chateau)

Fantasy Springs Hotel from inside Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea.
Fantasy Springs Hotel from inside the Fantasy Springs port at Tokyo DisneySea.
  • Location: In DisneySea (Fantasy Springs end)
  • Category: Deluxe
  • Happy Entry: DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland
  • Example Cost: 101,500 yen ($640) in December.
  • Website: Fantasy Springs Hotel

Fantasy Springs Hotel is the newest Tokyo Disney Hotel and opened in 2024 as part of the huge new Fantasy Springs expansion of DisneySea.

We’ve stayed there twice and love the beautiful rooms and superb location.

If Fantasy Springs (with its Frozen, Rapunzel, and Peter Pan rides) is a priority for you, I highly recommend staying there.

You get Happy Entry to DisneySea (one of only two hotels that does), and you enter via the special entrance directly into Fantasy Springs.

This hotel sells out almost instantly, though, so you must be prepared. I did manage to get a one-night stay on our last visit (in quieter July) by booking a few days in advance, so always check for cancellations.

The Vibe

Grand Paradis lounge at Fantasy Springs Hotel, Tokyo DisneySea.
The lobby overlooks the Grand Paradis lounge and looks into DisneySea.

The hotel is meant to be the summer palace of a Duchess who discovered the nearby magical springs.

The interior decor feels a little cold compared to our top 2 hotels, but it still has beautiful details and a flowery, feminine feel.

I love the lounge with views into Fantasy Springs, princess artwork in the corridors, and a huge peacock.

Hallways with princess artwork at Fantasy Springs Hotel.

There’s also a terrace off the lobby where you can look into the beautiful Fantasy Springs.

You can access the Rose Court garden from there. It has real roses and a lovely Beauty and the Beast fountain.

View of Rose Court from Fantasy Springs Hotel Rose Court side room.
View of the Rose Court garden from our Rose Court side room.

The Location

It’s in the Fantasy Springs port of DisneySea, but you have to enter by going out the entrance of the hotel and around to the special park entrance. It took us 4 minutes from our room.

Happy Entry is such a perk here. You can head straight to Frozen and only wait 20-25 minutes (vs 2-4 hours for the rest of the day). Then easily get on all the other rides in this order: Rapunzel, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell Buggies.

The Bayside Monorail Station is next door and takes you to Tokyo Disneyland in 10 minutes.

The Rooms

Fantasy Springs Hotel Rose Court Side Superior Alcove Room (Park View).

I’d say book any room you can, but they do have different views, and I much preferred the Rose Court over the Entrance Side (which looks out at the Bayside Station hotels).

In particular, we had the “Rose Court Side Superior Alcove Room (Park View)” which looks into the garden with the Peter Pan and Mysterious Island volcanoes beyond.

All the rooms have twin beds, which is a shame for a romantic hotel like this.

We loved our colourful, spacious room. The alcove is great for lounging (or sleeps another person), and there are two comfy chairs and a table by the window.

It has all the usual amenities, plenty of storage, and the three-part bathroom.

Fantasy Springs Hotel bathroom.
The typical Tokyo Disney bathroom has a sink in the middle with shower/ bath wet room to one side and the toilet room to the other.

Facilities

One of the rooms at Fantasy Springs Restaurant.

For a deluxe hotel, it lacks facilities. The lobby is rather small, and there’s no pool or gift shop.

There is a convenience store and laundry room.

The Grand Paradis lounge is a lovely place for a drink and dessert (food options are limited) with views into the park.

The Fantasy Springs Restaurant is pleasant with several elegant rooms, so it feels quieter than some of the hotel restaurants. We’ve only had breakfast there—pretty good but pricey. They also offer buffets for lunch and dinner.

Another side of the hotel is called the Grand Chateau, and it looks stunning. Rooms have views into Fantasy Springs, and guests can use a special entrance directly into the park. But we haven’t stayed there because rooms cost $2000 a night!

2) Tokyo Disneyland Hotel

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel entrance.
  • Location: Opposite Tokyo Disneyland
  • Category: Deluxe
  • Happy Entry: Tokyo Disneyland
  • Example Cost: 92,500 yen ($583) in December
  • Website: Tokyo Disneyland Hotel

The Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is wonderful and in a perfect location for Tokyo Disneyland.

We’ve stayed there twice and hope to stay there on every future trip. It feels magical!

Thankfully, it’s one of the easier hotels to book, as it doesn’t sell out as quickly as the others.

The Vibe

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel lobby.
The grand Tokyo Disneyland Hotel lobby and lounge.

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel has a Victorian theme and feels grand and elegant but with cute Disney touches (think Mickey in a top hat).

If you want to feel like a princess, this is the place to come!

The hotel exterior is gorgeous, especially lit up at night.

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel at night.

The expansive lobby features chandeliers, a fountain, a stained-glass window ceiling, and plush armchairs.

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel lobby.

The Location

You can’t get closer to Tokyo Disneyland park.

Exit the hotel and the monorail station is right there. Head under its arches and the park gates are in front of you.

It took us 3 minutes from our room (including the elevator) to park security!

Tokyo Disneyland station outside Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.
Exit the hotel and you are right at the monorail station with the park gates beyond.

You can also walk to JR Maihama train station in about 5 minutes (or take the monorail). For DisneySea, hop on the monorail.

The Rooms

Standard Superior Room at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.

We always book the cheapest room—a Standard Superior Room (3rd-4th Floors) — and we choose the double-bed option (not all room categories have this; most are twins).

It’s a comfortable and elegant room with cute Victorian Mickey and Minnie artwork above the bed.

There are two dining chairs and a table by the window but no comfy seating.

Tables by the window in the Standard Superior Room at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.
A bit of a park view from our 4th floor room.

It has all the usual facilities, storage, and a three-part bathroom.

It’s the only Tokyo Disney hotel we’ve stayed in that has both a rainfall shower as well as a handheld one.

We appreciate the dresser table in the entrance for putting all our park bits (we miss this at MiraCosta).

Although we don’t pay more for a park view, we’ve always had a view of the monorail and the top of the castle.

We love watching the monorail go past and seeing the fireworks.

Monorail and park view from Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.
Monorail and park view from our room (you can see people queuing at the gates for 5pm late entry).

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel also has some fun character-themed rooms. I’ve been tempted by the Alice in Wonderland and Beauty and the Beast rooms, but character rooms face the back of the hotel away from the park, so you don’t get a view (and they cost more).

Facilities

The hotel has a gift shop, convenience store, coin laundry, and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (for little princess makeovers).

The hotel has two restaurants (one buffet) and a lounge/bar in the lobby. Room service is available.

The Peter Pan-themed outdoor pool (July to early September) is smaller than the Ambassador Hotel’s pool and costs 3000 yen ($19).

There are a few gardens on both sides of the hotel that are worth a stroll.

1) Hotel MiraCosta

Hotel Miracosta Tokyo Disney front entrance.
Hotel Miracosta at the entrance to DisneySea. Tuscany side rooms overlook here.
  • Location: In DisneySea (Mediterranean Harbor)
  • Category: Deluxe
  • Happy Entry: DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland
  • Example Cost: We paid 123,400 yen ($779) for a Porto Paradiso Side Superior Room Harbor View in October 2025. In December 2026, a Tuscany side room is 122,000 yen ($765), so I expect the Piazza and Harbor View rooms to be more expensive now.
  • Website: Hotel MiraCosta

There is no other Disney hotel like the MiraCosta—it is fully immersed in DisneySea’s Mediterranean Harbor.

We have stayed there three times and will be back, despite the high price and the fact that it sells out in minutes!

The Vibe

Hotel Miracosta DisneySea rotunda lobby.
The rotunda lobby.

Think old-world Italian elegance with a dash of Disney. Otherwise described as: What if Mickey Mouse Was in the Renaissance?

In keeping with DisneySea’s nautical theme, there’s a huge ship model in the rotunda lobby and compasses in the hallway carpet. The artwork everywhere is super cute, but it still feels grand.

The Location

Believe Sea of Dreams show from a Hotel Miracosta Harbor view room.
Watching the Believe night show from our Harbor view room.

You can not beat the location right inside DisneySea!

Some rooms have incredible views into the park, and there’s a private entrance into the park, so it’s easy to pop back to your room throughout the day.

Note that you have to use the main gates when entering during Happy Entry, but it’s only a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.

Happy Entry is a huge perk when people arrive 3 hours before opening for DisneySea.

It’s on the monorail loop, and there’s a special walkway that connects the station to the hotel. The monorail is the easiest way to get to Maihama Station and Tokyo Disneyland, but you could also walk.

Which Side to Choose?

Of all the hotels, Hotel Miracosta is the one where your room type matters most. There are three areas of the hotel:

  • Tuscany Side – Rooms overlook the park entrance and are least desirable.
  • Venice Side – Some overlook the canals, which would be lovely, but you won’t be able to see the harbor.
  • Porto Paradiso Side – This is what you want! This side has views into the park of the Mediterranean Harbor and volcano.
Sunset view of DisneySea from the Hotel Miracosta Harbor View room.
Sunset view of the park from our Porto Paradiso Harbor view room.

We have always stayed on the Porto Paradiso side because having a view into the park is so special.

You can watch the Believe show from your room (magical and so relaxing!), see the park being cleaned after closing, and sometimes get sneak peeks of rehearsals for new harbor shows early in the morning.

Expect to hear park music until 10pm or so, then again starting around 7am.

The Rooms

Porto Paradiso Piazza View room at Hotel Miracosta in DisneySea.
Our Porto Paradiso Piazza View double room at the Miracosta.

We’ve stayed twice in the Porto Paradiso Side—Superior Room Piazza View, which has a double bed option.

It has views of the harbor but from the Venice end, so you watch the Believe night show at an angle. We love this room.

Watching Believe from our Piazza View room (compare it to the Harbor view above).

We once had a night in a Porto Paradiso Side—Superior Room Harbor View. This has the absolute best view straight onto the harbor, but it’s more expensive, harder to book, and only has twin beds.

The room does have a couch, unlike the double rooms, and both have a table and chairs by the window.

Hotel Miracosta DisneySea twin room with harbor view.
Harbor view rooms only have twin beds plus a couch.

All the rooms have a similar style with cute details like Mickey the Sailor in maps and tapestries, and all the usual amenities.

The rooms feel a little more dated than the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel and lack the rainfall shower and dresser table that the latter has, but they are still wonderful rooms.

Facilities

There are two restaurants and a bar/lounge. Room service is available.

We’ve had breakfast at Oceano restaurant and at BellaVista Lounge and prefer the lounge. It’s quieter, more intimate, and has fantastic views into the park.

Breakfast at BellaVista lounge with park view.

There’s a gift shop but no convenience store, which is quite annoying. The gift shop has a small selection of crisps, chocolate, and pot noodles, but for anything more you’ll need to go to Ikspiari (around a 20-minute walk or monorail hop).

There’s no laundry room, but you can get a serviced clothing wash.

MiraCosta is the only Tokyo Disney hotel with an indoor pool open year-round (10am-6pm; 3000 yen fee). It also has a hot tub, sauna, and poolside bar.

I love using the pool at the end of our stay (before 12pm check-out). It feels so restorative and eases my achy legs.

In summer, there’s an outdoor pool too.

Why We Haven’t Included Celebration Hotel

The Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel is the only other official Disney hotel, but we haven’t stayed there and have no interest in doing so, as it’s a 20-minute shuttle bus ride away.

It’s the only hotel in the Value category, so it is cheaper than the others. In December, rooms start from 38,000 yen ($238).

If we are trying to save money, we would rather stay in a non-Disney hotel on the monorail line, which makes it much easier to get to the parks.

The only benefit is Happy Entry to Tokyo Disneyland Park, but we don’t think it’s worth the location compromise.

Hotels Near Tokyo Disney Resort

If you can’t afford or find availability for an onsite hotel, there are many other hotels in the Tokyo Bay area where Disney is located.

I wouldn’t worry about whether a hotel is affiliated with Tokyo Disney Resort (there are various official and partner hotels).

The only benefits are free shuttle buses to the parks (which some non-affiliated hotels offer) and being able to buy park tickets at the hotel (which you can easily do online).

Instead, I recommend staying near Bayside Monorail Station or within walking distance of the parks.

Hilton Tokyo Bay

Ocean view king room at Hilton Tokyo Bay.
Our Ocean view king room at Hilton Tokyo Bay.

We’ve stayed at Hilton Tokyo Bay twice and will likely stay there again.

It’s our top pick if you don’t want to spend the money on a Disney hotel or want to add on a less expensive hotel at the end of your trip.

With rooms from 38,000 yen ($238) in December, it’s cheaper than the Toy Story Hotel and has more comfortable (but less fun) rooms. Plus, it’s easy to find availability.

The location is fantastic opposite the Bayside Monorail Station (and Fantasy Springs Hotel) and next to the Toy Story Hotel.

View of Bayside Station and Fantasy Springs Hotel from a Hilton Tokyo Bay Park view room.
Monorail and Fantasy Springs Hotel from our Park view room.

If you’ve been in Japan a while, you might appreciate the Western-style hotel—we love that they have comfy King-sized beds!

If you choose a Park view room, you can see the monorail and bits of the park (and probably the fireworks), so it feels more immersive.

The Ocean view rooms are more beautiful and peaceful.

Park view king room at Hilton Tokyo Bay.
Our park view king room.

The amenities are good, with several restaurants, a casual cafe, a bar, and a Lawson convenience store. There’s a gym and coin laundry.

Unlike Disney hotels, you can eat at the breakfast buffet without reserving a table (it does get busy).

It’s a Tokyo Disney Resort Official Hotel, so there’s a good Disney gift shop onsite too.

There is an indoor pool, but you have to go down to the pool to reserve a time slot, so I’ve never made that happen (plus there’s a fee).

The outdoor pool situation in summer is even more annoying—you can only book it for a certain time window with an expensive package that includes a snack and drink.

Hilton Tokyo Bay works well combined with a Tokyo Disney hotel, especially Toy Story (next door) and Fantasy Springs Hotel (across the road), as it’s easy to move your luggage.

On our latest stay, we followed up one night in Fantasy Springs with two nights at the Hilton.

We did Happy Entry in Fantasy Springs, went back to FS Hotel to pack, checked out by 12pm on the TV and requested they store our luggage (left in the room to be collected).

We went back into DisneySea and, after 3pm, collected our bags and moved to the Hilton. We still had our Proof of Stay ticket so could use the Fantasy Springs entrance for the rest of the day, even though Hilton guests can’t usually use it.

This works for Toy Story too, as you can use that entrance after 10am.

Other Monorail Hotels

Other Official Hotels near Bayside Monorail Station include Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel and Hotel Okura Tokyo Bay.

We haven’t stayed in any others yet as the Hilton is always our go-to.

Let us know if you have any recommendations near the monorail.

Click here to search for more hotels near Tokyo Disney Resort

Hotel Mystays Maihama

We have also stayed at Hotel Mystays Maihama, one of the few hotels within walking distance of the parks.

We could walk to DisneySea in 10 minutes and Disneyland in 20 minutes (there’s also a free shuttle at certain times–it took us 15 minutes). 

The rooms are dated and smaller than the ones above, but they were comfortable enough and had a fridge, kettle, and desk.

It’s a 15-minute walk from the Ikispari shopping centre, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants, and Maihama Station.

It’s not quite as affordable now as it used to be (from around 32,000 yen/$200), so I would definitely choose the Hilton if the price isn’t much higher.

Tips for Staying Onsite

Booking Rooms

  • Booking in advance is essential – You can book Disney hotels four months in advance at 11am JST. It’s important to be on the Reservations and Tickets website before rooms are released and have fast fingers.
  • Do a test run for MiraCosta and Fantasy Springs Hotels – These rooms sell out in under a minute.
  • You pay a deposit of 30,000 yen (15,000 yen for Toy Story) per room per stay.
  • Cancellation is free more than 14 days before check-in for room-only bookings.
  • Last-minute availability is possible – Due to cancellations, it’s worth checking.
  • Vacation Packages combining hotels, tickets, and Disney Premier Access passes go on sale around 5-6 months in advance and are a little easier to book (but much more expensive).

Room Types and Beds

  • If you prefer a double bed, book early for Disneyland Hotel, MiraCosta, or Ambassador. Only a few room types have double beds (and they won’t have a couch). Most Tokyo Disney hotel rooms have twin beds only.
  • All beds are firm, but we find them pretty comfortable.
  • If you want a King-sized bed, you’ll have to stay offsite. The Hilton Tokyo Bay is a great choice.
  • The onsite hotels have some rooms that can accommodate up to 4 people with pull-out trundle beds.
  • To choose the best room type for you, go to the hotel page (linked in the reviews above) and see the Guest Rooms section for descriptions of each type.

Restaurants

  • If you want to eat at your hotel restaurant, reserve a table as soon as you book a room, as they do book up fast. This includes breakfast.
  • Convenience stores in the hotels are good for inexpensive breakfasts such as yoghurt, fruit, sandwiches, and rice balls. MiraCosta is the only hotel without one, so bring snacks.

Checking In and Out

  • Happy Entry is not available on your check-in day, but it is on your check-out day.
  • If you stay at MiraCosta or Fantasy Springs for only one night, make sure you visit DisneySea on check-out day for early entry. It’s so valuable!
  • Save your hotel reservation email – You’ll need it to check in and to access the Toy Story and Fantasy Springs grounds (or in-park MiraCosta entrance).
  • Hotels have a strict 3pm check-in time – Your room key won’t work a minute before.
  • You can drop your bags off anytime.
  • If you do Pre-Check-in, you can complete your paperwork earlier in the day and get your room key. You can only access your room after 4.30pm, though (although we found Disneyland Hotel let us in at 3pm).
  • Check-out is a generous 12pm. No need to go to reception. You can check out on the TV (you pay the balance at check-in) and request luggage storage or transfer to another Disney hotel, and drop off the keycard in a box.

Tokyo Disney Hotel Costs

It is difficult to provide example prices for Tokyo Disney hotels because prices vary by month, day of the week, and room type.

Weekends and peak seasons such as the November/December Christmas season are the most expensive.

It’s also challenging to check room prices at some hotels, as they sell out almost instantly.

I have included what we paid as example prices below, but it’s best to check the website closer to your travel days for more accurate costs.

In general, expect to pay around US$300-400 a night at Toy Story Hotel and $400-800+ at the Deluxe hotels.

What We’ve Paid

Here are some exact prices that we paid in 2025-2026 for a room for two adults.

Our least expensive Tokyo Disney hotel stay was the Toy Story Hotel. We paid 51,000 yen ($322) a night for a weekday in November.

Unfortunately, prices at all the hotels are increasing from October 2026, when Toy Story will cost 60,500 yen ($382).

Our most expensive stay was at Hotel MiraCosta, where we stayed in the incredible Porto Paradiso Side Superior Room Harbor View in October for 123,400 yen ($779).

In June, we had a less impressive (but still very good) view in the Porto Paradiso Side Superior Room Piazza View. This cost 93,000 yen ($587) on a weekday, jumping to 105,000 yen ($663) on a Friday night.

In between was the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel at 67,000 yen ($423) in June for a Superior Room (the cheapest room).

The same room type in busier October last year was 77,500 yen ($489). But in October 2026, that room will cost 92,500 yen ($584).

This map shows the Disney onsite hotels in yellow, the more distant Celebration Hotel in orange, and nearby non-Disney hotels in green.

I’ve also marked the main train station Maihama (for access to Tokyo), the monorail stations, and park entrances.

Is Staying in a Tokyo Disney Hotel Worth It?

If you can afford it, staying in a Tokyo Disney hotel is a worthwhile splurge that provides valuable perks and a magical atmosphere.

Happy Entry to DisneySea when staying at Hotel MiraCosta or Fantasy Springs Hotel is especially useful, as you can avoid an incredibly long queue to get into the parks and secure Premier Access Passes before everyone else.

Those hotels and Tokyo Disneyland Hotel are also incredibly convenient for accessing the parks and make it easy to take breaks.

Our favourite combination is Tokyo Disneyland Hotel and Hotel Miracosta, but we love all the hotels and will happily stay in any of them again.

If the onsite hotels are out of your budget, consider a hotel by the Bayside Monorail Station, such as Hilton Tokyo Bay, for convenient access.
