\r\nThe official Disneyfied history of Tokyo Disneyland is simple and rosy. But, as usual, the truth is much more interesting. In 1962, just 7 years after the original Disneyland opened in California, representatives from Oriental Land Company (also known as OLC) approached Walt Disney Productions (now known as The Walt Disney Company) about opening a Disney theme park in Japan. At the time, OLC was in the process of reclaiming land in Tokyo Bay, which is in Urayasu City in Chiba Prefecture. OLC, which was formed by two Japanese mega-companies (Mitsui Real Estate Development and Keisei Electric Railway), was created for the purpose of building and managing recreational and leisure enterprises. Japan was in a period of high economic growth. Citizens suddenly had disposable income and were looking for ways to spend it. After being denied by Disney in the early 60s, OLC again approached Disney in 1974. At the same time, Mitsubishi also was in talks with Disney about a park near Mount Fuji. Ron Cayo, a representative from Disney, took a trip to Japan that same year to look at both proposed projects. During negotiations, Mitsubishi suddenly and mysteriously dropped out. In his book, Success Stories, author Leonard Koren speculates that Mitsubishi dropping out was due to pressure from the Japanese government. Even with no other offers, talks between Disney and OLC languished for years, and got especially rocky in 1977 when OLC's president suddenly resigned. A deal was finally made in 1979. The deal was that OLC would pay for research, development, and construction of the park, as well as manage it day-to-day. Disney, who did not have the money to fund the park on its own, would get 10% of park admissions and 5% of food and merchandise sales. Japanese media predicted failure as soon as the deal for Tokyo Disneyland was announced. Even some members of OLC had their doubts. \"We were very nervous in the beginning, of course, there were no 100% guarantees that this would succeed,\" said Katsuhiko Nakamura (Oriental Land Company publicity director) to the Los Angeles Times in 1994. Construction on Tokyo Disneyland began in late 1980; and then on April 15, 1983, the first Disney theme park outside of the United States opened its doors. The park was an instant and massive success. Tokyo Disney Resort continues to be incredibly popular, thanks to some of the most lavishly themed and well maintained attractions in the world, innovative merchandise and food, continuously refreshed seasonal entertainment, and unparalleled guest service. In January, 2026, Tokyo Disney Resort welcomed its 900 millionth visitor.
\n\nTo All Who Come To This Happy Place\n\nWELCOME\n\nHere you will discover enchanted lands of Fantasy and Adventure, Yesterday and Tomorrow. May Tokyo Disneyland be an eternal source of Joy, Laughter, Inspiration, and Imagination to the peoples of the world. And may this magical kingdom be an enduring symbol of the spirit of cooperation and friendship between the great nations of Japan and the United States of America.\n\nApril 15, 1983\nE. Cardon Walker\nChairman of the Board\nWalt Disney Productions\n\n
Like other parks using the Disneyland name, Tokyo Disneyland is laid out in a \"hub-and-spoke model,\" meaning there is a central hub (like the center of a wheel) with walkways (the spokes coming out of the wheel) branching out into other sections of the park. Also like other Disney theme parks, Tokyo Disneyland is divided into different themed sections known as \"lands.\"
\n\nSeven different lands make up Tokyo Disneyland: World Bazaar, which is the park's main entrance corridor with shopping and restaurants. It is the equivalent to Disneyland and Magic Kingdom's Main Street, U.S.A. To the right of World Bazaar is Tomorrowland, which has a science fiction/futuristic space port theme. Two must-see headlining rides are located here, the outer space thrill ride, Space Mountain, and the Tokyo Disneyland-exclusive Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek! Toontown is located to the left of Tomorrowland. This fanciful representation of a wacky cartoon community is where some of the iconic Disney characters live (such as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and more). Fantasyland is at the heart of Tokyo Disneyland. It is home to the park's icon, Cinderella Castle, but also classic Disney rides, such as Peter Pan’s Flight, \"it's a small world\", Dumbo The Flying Elephant, and more. Fantasyland is also where you'll find Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast and Pooh's Hunny Hunt, which we consider to be some of the best Disney rides ever. To the left of Fantasyland is the park's smallest land, Critter Country. Critter Country is the home of Splash Mountain, which is a mega-sized ride where you travel in a hollowed out log. The ride ends with a 50-foot drop that reaches a maximum speed of 40 mph. Moving left from Critter Country is Westernland, which is themed after the American West. Big Thunder Mountain (a roller coaster disguised as a runaway mine train) is the focal point of the land. Finally, Adventureland is to the left of Westernland, and to the right of World Bazaar. The star attraction of Adventureland is the classic ride called Pirates of the Caribbean. Which is a masterfully crafted indoor boat ride where you experience swashbuckling pirates. We're only scratching the surface with the rides mentioned in this paragraph. There are many other attractions, shows, and smaller experiences to discover as you explore Tokyo Disneyland.
\n\n\n\nThere's a lot to do at Tokyo Disneyland. How much time it takes to tour depends on how busy the park is. For example, if you visit on a weekend, the park will be packed with tens of thousands of other visitors. Every walkway will be jammed. Smaller attractions may have over an hours' wait. We've seen marquee rides, such as Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, reach over a 200 minute wait. The crowd sizes at Tokyo Disney Resort are unlike any other Disney resort so you'll need to set your expectations at a certain level. The parks will be busy almost every day of the year. Sure they will be less busy during the week, but you'll rarely see headliner attractions under an hour wait even when the parks are slow. Even with the large crowds in the parks, guest traffic flows fast, and crowd control was excellent. This is also helped by the fact that walkways in the parks are large enough to handle the crowds that parks receive. Plenty of cast members are on hand to make sure that ride lines and crowds move at a steady pace, without feeling rushed. Merchandise sales are a big part of the Tokyo Disney parks, so don't be surprised to see the same amount of crowd control and large number of cast members in the shops, as well as walkways and attractions.
\n\nAlmost all guest services are found at the front of the park, just inside the main entrance. Services and amenities include stroller and wheelchair rentals to the right as you enter; and lockers (¥400 to ¥1500 depending on the size), lost and found, and first aid to the left. See our full guide to all the Tokyo Disneyland and Sea locker locations and how to use them. All of these services are clearly labeled in the park's guide maps; just be sure to grab an English map (they're also available in many other languages). Foreign currency exchange is also available at the Guest Relations Window at the left of Tokyo Disneyland's main entrance. This window is accessible if you are inside or outside the park. Cast members working at the Guest Services Window are fluent in English, and will do whatever they can to answer your questions.
\n\nFor cash, only Japanese yen is accepted at any dining or retail location in Tokyo Disneyland. You can exchange foreign currency at the Guest Services Window to the left of the park's main entrance, but we recommend doing that before you arrive in Japan. Most banks offer a service where you can order Japanese yen and have it delivered directly to your house.
\n\nIf you don’t want to carry around cash, all of the shops and restaurants in Tokyo Disney Resort take standard US credit cards. Some shops and restaurants outside of the resort require credit cards with the “Smart Chip” inside. You will not be able to purchase anything from these retailers if you do not have a credit card with a smart chip. No matter what kind of credit card you have, be sure to call your bank before you leave home and let them know you will be traveling. If not, your credit card will probably immediately be blocked for suspicious activity. Another thing you want to watch out for is your credit card’s foreign transaction fee.
\n\n\nEveryone will soon find their own favorite and not-so-favorite attractions in Tokyo Disneyland. Be open-minded and adventuresome. Don't dismiss a particular ride or show as not being for you until after you have tried it. We do recommend that you take advantage of what Disney does best: the fantasy adventures such as The Haunted Mansion, and the animatronic attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean. Unless you have almost unlimited time, don't burn a lot of daylight browsing through the shops. Try to minimize the time you spend on midway-type rides, as you probably have an amusement park, carnival, or state fair close to your hometown. Don't, however, mistake rides such as Splash Mountain and the Big Thunder Mountain for amusement-park rides. They may be of the flume-ride or the roller-coaster genre, but they represent pure Disney genius. Also, do not miss Tokyo Disneyland's spectacular exclusives, Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, and Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek!

The \"Sparkling Jubilee\" brings a new daytime harbor show, Sparkling Jubilee Celebration, a stage show called Dance the Globe!, Sparkling Jubilee blue decor, and many special food, beverage, and merchandise options throughout the park.
\n\n\n\t\nOn April 15, 1988, a press conference was held to kickoff Tokyo Disneyland's 5th anniversary celebration. Masatomo Takahashi (then President of Oriental Land Company, the owners and operators of Tokyo Disneyland) announced that a second theme park would be added to the Tokyo Disneyland complex. It's not surprising that a \"second gate\" was already being announced, as Tokyo Disneyland was instantly a massive success. The first idea for Tokyo's second Disney park was \"Disney Hollywood Studio Theme Park at Tokyo Disneyland,\" which would have been based on the Disney-MGM Studios theme park that opened in Walt Disney World in 1988. But OLC pushed for something bigger and better. In their words, they wanted to \"create a new market by providing a completely different experience from Tokyo Disneyland.\" 6000 miles away, in Long Beach, California, a project called Port Disney (which would have been home to a similar park that was also named DisneySea) had been canceled in 1991. Around this same time, the plans for a Tokyo studios park went \"under reconsideration.\" Negotiations between The Walt Disney Company and OLC for a new park went on for several years. In 1997, plans were announced to bring DisneySea to Tokyo. On September 4, 2001, Tokyo DisneySea opened to the public.
\n\nAt Tokyo DisneySea's opening ceremony, Roy E. Disney (Walt Disney's nephew, and then Vice Chairman of The Walt Disney Company) gave the park the best review it could possibly get: \"I can think of 2 people in particular who would have been thrilled with this new park, next to a park they would have found very familiar. Of course, I refer to Walt and Roy Disney. They would have both loved to be with us here today, but in a real, very real way, I believe they are.\"\n
\n\n\n\n\nWelcome, one and all to a world where Imagination and Adventure set sail.
\nTokyo DisneySea is dedicated to the spirit of exploration that lives in each of us. Here you chart a course for Adventure, Romance, Discovery and Fun and journey to exotic and fanciful Ports of Call.
\n\nMay Tokyo DisneySea inspire the hearts and minds of all of us who share the water planet, Earth.

\n\n
It’s impossible not to be hyperbolic when talking about Tokyo DisneySea. It’s amazing, incredible, and jaw dropping. Any superlative you can think of applies to this beautiful theme park. There are hundreds of details to discover around every corner, and what’s most impressive is how it all is brilliantly blended together. Whether you’re wandering around the streets of an early 20th century recreation of New York in American Waterfront, exploring a dense jungle in Lost River Delta, or venturing deep in to a smoldering volcano in Mysterious Island, everything flows together perfectly.
\n\nA key factor to any Disney theme park is the entrance experience, and DisneySea has one of the best. You start off by walking through a breezeway that goes through the beautiful Hotel MiraCosta. This is where you will catch your first glimpse of Mount Prometheus, the centerpiece of the park. Basically it’s the park’s castle. Mount Prometheus can be seen from almost anywhere in the park, and even though you’re seeing the same mountain, it will look different depending on what land you’re in. So if you’re in Mediterranean Harbor it will look like a towering ominous volcano, but if you’re in the Cape Cod section of American Waterfront it will look like a peaceful mountainside. It’s a very impressive effect.
\n\n\n\nLike other Disney theme parks, Tokyo DisneySea is divided into different themed sections known as \"lands,\" or in DisneySea's unique case they're sometimes referred to as \"ports.\" Seven different lands/ports make up Tokyo DisneySea.\n
\n\n\nAfter entering Tokyo DisneySea you'll find yourself in a plaza with a large sculpture of Earth, known as AquaSphere. The northern side of the plaza is dominated by the exterior of Hotel MiraCosta, which is unique for a Disney hotel because it's mostly located inside the theme park. Walking through the breezeway under MiraCosta, you'll enter Mediterranean Harbor, which is themed after an Italian port city. As you enter Mediterranean Harbor you'll notice a large body of water. This is where lagoon shows happen during the day, and Believe! Sea of Dreams occurs at night. Mediterranean Harbor is a sprawling land that has a lot of nooks and crannies to explore. For example, across the water you'll see Fortress Explorations, where you can take a self guided walkthrough tour through detailed fortress with many interactive exhibits and illusions to discover. Partially hidden on the southern edge of the land is a recreation of Italy's famous canals. Here you can soak in the scenery and take a relaxing ride on the Venetian Gondolas, which we highly recommend. Also in Mediterranean Harbor is one of the park's headliner attractions, Soaring: Fantastic Flight. Following the pathway on the right side of Mediterranean Harbor will take you directly in to Mount Prometheus, which is the park's icon. It's located in the park's next port, Mysterious Island. This Jules Verne-inspired land is influenced by Vulcania Island, from the Disney movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which also has an attraction here by the same name. The centerpiece attraction in Tokyo DisneySea is also located in Mysterious Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth. It’s part dark ride, part thrill ride, it's exclusive to DisneySea, and it's incredible. Both 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth are a must see. Exiting the northern side of Mysterious Island will take you to a branching walkway. The left path will take you to Mermaid Lagoon, a land inspired by Disney's The Little Mermaid film. Mermaid Lagoon is mostly made up of rides for families and small children, but there's still some charming elements to be discovered. Taking the path on the right when heading out of Mysterious Island will lead you to Arabian Coast, a land heavily influenced by Disney's Aladdin film. Arabian Coast is home to one of the park's best rides, Sindbad's Storybook Voyage. This slow moving boat ride is good for the whole family, has all the quality details you'd expect from a Disney ride, and features a soundtrack written and composed by Disney Legend, Alan Menken. Between Arabian Coast and Lost River Delta is DisneySea's newest land, Fantasy Springs. Fantasy Springs is the park's equivalent to Tokyo Disneyland's Fantasyland and home to rides based on Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. One of the park's signature exclusive attractions is located here, Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey. South of Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast is a Central American tropical rain forest called Lost River Delta. Here you'll find the mega-headliner ride, Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull (a combination track ride and motion simulator). To the southeast of Lost River Delta is Port Discovery, a retro-futuristic land that is home to Nemo & Friends SeaRider, which is a more gentle and family friendly version of Star Tours. Finally, to the right of Port Discovery and the left of Mediterranean Harbor, is American Waterfront. This massive land is jammed packed with details and mini-lands to explore and discover. We recommend putting in some time to have a look around and reward yourself with one of Disney's best themed environments. As far as rides go, another must see attraction is located in American Waterfront: Tower of Terror, which is an elevator drop ride that takes place inside a haunted hotel. We're only scratching the surface with the rides mentioned in this section. There are many other attractions, shows, and smaller experiences to discover as you explore Tokyo DisneySea.\n\n
\n\nOne of the questions we get the most from our readers is: \"How English friendly is Tokyo DisneySea?\" or \"Is there an issue with the language barrier?\" or \"Will I enjoy the parks if I don't speak Japanese?\" along with many other variations of the same question. In our many years of visits to Tokyo Disneyland for both pleasure and to research for this website, we have never experienced any issues with communicating the resort staff. As to be expected in a country that is not your own, most Tokyo Disney cast members will not fluently speak your native language. But, most will know enough to help you with whatever you need. If a cast member can't understand what you are asking, they will do their best to find a colleague who can. If you find that you are having difficulty communicating with a cast member, be patient, don't raise your voice, show respect, and anything you are asking will be handled in a short amount of time. Also keep in mind most cast members at ticket booths, guests services, and the hotels will usually speak fluent English. Will you enjoy the rides and shows if you don't speak Japanese? Yes. Themed entertainment uses a lot of visual storytelling. While some rides and shows are in English, most are not, but they're still just as enjoyable visually. Is Indiana Jones speaking a little Japanese on Indiana Jones Adventure going to ruin your enjoyment of the ride? No, it shouldn't.
\n\nTokyo DisneySea is packed from end to end with delicious, unique, and photo-worthy food items. There's so many different items and restaurants to choose from, and exploring different locations and finding new entrees and snacks is one of our favorite things about the park. Our favorite food item? The Ukiwa Bun (a innertube-shaped steamed bun, filled with shrimp, ground pork, and vegetables) is available at Seaside Snacks in Port Discovery. DisneySea is also home to what we consider to be one of the most beautiful Disney restaurants in the world, Magellan's. See our Tokyo Disney dining page for more information on dining in Tokyo Disney Resort.
\n\n\n\nTokyo DisneySea does not have as many attractions as Tokyo Disneyland does, but there is still a lot to do in this park. DisneySea is not a park to be rushed through. Keep your phone in your pocket and let your eyes explore every exquisite detail. Savor it. You'll regret it if you don't.\n
\nIf you visit on a weekend, the park will be packed with tens of thousands of other visitors. Smaller attractions may have up to an hours' wait. We've seen marquee rides, such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, reach over a 200 minute wait. The crowd sizes at Tokyo Disney Resort are unlike any other Disney resort so you'll need to set your expectations at a certain level. The parks will be busy almost every day of the year. Sure they will be less busy during the week, but you'll rarely see headliner attractions under an hour wait even when the parks are slow.

Merchandise sales are a big part the Tokyo Disney parks, so I wasn’t surprised to see the same amount of crowd control and large number of cast members in the shops, as well as walkways and attractions.
\n\n\nAlmost all guest services are found at the front of the park, just inside the main entrance. Services and amenities include stroller, wheelchair rentals, and lockers (¥300 to ¥700 depending on the size) to the left as you enter. Lost and found is located in the Guest Relations building, which is on the right side of the park's entrance plaza (look for a statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse). There you will find cast members that are fluent in English that will try to answer any questions you may have. First aid is located near Cafe Portofino in Mediterranean Harbor. All of these services are clearly labeled in the park's guide maps; just be sure to grab an English map (they're also available in many other languages). \n
\n\n\nFor cash, only Japanese yen is accepted at any dining or retail location in Tokyo DisneySea. You can exchange foreign currency at the Guest Relations building, which is in the park's entrance plaza, near the right set of turnstiles (look for a statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse). We recommend exchanging your currency before you arrive in Japan. Most banks offer a service where you can order Japanese yen and have it delivered directly to your house.
\n\nIf you don’t want to carry around cash, all of the shops and restaurants in Tokyo Disney Resort take standard US credit cards.

If not, your credit card will probably immediately be blocked for suspicious activity. Another thing you want to watch out for is your credit card’s foreign transaction fee.
\n\nIf you run out of cash, there is an ATM in Ikspiari (which is basically Tokyo Disney Resort’s Downtown Disney), which accepts American debit cards. It is located on the first floor, near the Tokyo Disney Resort Ticketing Center and a shop called Nana’s.
\n\n\nThe easy answer for where to start at Tokyo DisneySea is any one of their incredible exclusive attractions. Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Sindbad's Storybook Voyage are massive and fantastic original attractions that you won't find anywhere else. There's also of smaller exclusive rides that are easy to overlook, but are an important part of the overall DisneySea experience. Examples of these rides are the Venetian Gondolas, Tokyo DisneySea Transit Steamer Line, Big City Vehicles, and many more than can be listed here. The bottom line is don't overlook anything at DisneySea (unless it's one of the children's rides in Mermaid Lagoon, don't waste time on those). As we mentioned in previous paragraphs, DisneySea is a park that you should thoroughly explore. \n

The hotel is themed in a vintage Hollywood Art Deco style that we think looks quite good. It's not as nice as, or as conveniently located near a theme park as, Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta or Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, but the rooms are high quality and the service is excellent. Walking time to Tokyo Disneyland is 15 to 20 minutes, and walking to DisneySea takes 25 to 30 minutes. The Tokyo Disney Resort Line - Resort Gateway Station (aka the monorail), is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel (it's located inside Ikspiari). The Tokyo Disney Resort Line offers transportation to Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, and Bayside Station (where all non-Disney on-site hotels are located). See our Tokyo Disney Resort Transportation page for more information on the Tokyo Disney Resort Line.\r\n
\r\n\r\nRack rates for Disney Ambassador Hotel range from around $300 USD for standard rooms, to more than $3000 USD for a suite.
\r\n\r\nThe official Tokyo Disney Resort hotels can be booked on the Tokyo Disney Resort Online Reservation & Tickets website, which is in full English. Please note that the official TDR hotels sell out extremely fast, sometimes as soon as the reservation window opens, which is 9 AM (JST), five months before your arrival date. When your reservation window opens, be ready and waiting at your computer.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGuests at Disney Ambassador Hotel can enjoy a perk called \"Happy Entry.\" This allows hotel guests to enter either Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea 15 minutes early. Few attractions are open during this time, but it allows you to skip the massive lines that form outside the parks before they open for the day. It will also let you get a huge head start to your first destination. If you want to ride Journey to the Center of the Earth in DisneySea (or any other high demand attraction) with little to no wait, Happy Entry will give you a perfect chance to do so.
\r\n\r\nHotel guests are guaranteed entry to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, even on days when the parks are extremely busy and attendance is restricted.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCheck-in time at Disney Ambassador Hotel is 3:00 PM, and check-out time is 11:00 AM. If you're from outside of Japan, you'll need to provide your passport and credit/debit card when you register.\r\n
\r\n\r\nIf you haven't purchased your theme park tickets yet, you may do so at the Guest Services Counter. The Guest Services Counter can also make dining reservations. See our Tokyo Disney Resort dining page for more information. Here you can store your baggage and make reservations for a bus back to the airport. \r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRoom amenities include HDTV, mini-refrigerators, hot water pot (with instant coffee and tea), safes large enough for laptops, and wireless Internet connections. In your room's bathroom you'll find shampoo, soap, and conditioner in nicely themed bottles that you're allowed to keep after you check out, as well as a toiletry accessory kit containing toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair comb, cotton swabs, and more. The nightstand between the two beds has a telephone and alarm clock. Rooms also contain a closet with hangers, an iron with ironing board, and enough room to store a few pieces of luggage.
\r\n\r\n\r\nDisney Ambassador Hotel bathrooms are made up of three parts, each of which are separated by doors that lock. To the left is a shower room with a bathtub, and both fixed and removable shower heads. The center is a sink area with a mirror, one sink, and limited counter space. To the right is a small room with a toilet. The toilet is a luxurious Japanese bidet that features heated seats and a stream of warm water to clean your rear end. If you don't wish to use any of these extra bidet features, you can simply flush it with the lever attached to the toilet itself. If you do want to try out the bidet, it's controlled by a panel with buttons.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo Disney Resort categorizes all of Disney Ambassador Hotel's rooms based on the configuration of the room.\r\n
\r\n\r\nHere's the system Disney uses:\r\n
\r\nDisney Ambassador Hotel's Palm Garden Pool is only offered during summer months, usually around mid-July to late-August. Pool hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The following pool rules are strictly enforced, especially the rule about covering tattoos:
\r\n\r\nDisney Ambassador Hotel has three full-service restaurants, one quick service restaurant, and one lounge. If none of these establishments meet your needs, you can take a short walk to Ikspari and eat at any one of its' restaurants of varying quality and price ranges.\r\n
\r\n\r\nChef Mickey is a buffet where Mickey Mouse and other characters visit guests at their tables as they dine. The buffet serves everything from meat dishes, noodles, curry, fish, salads, fresh fruit, and more. There’s also a large variety of delicious desserts. Besides your stomach, the only other limit is time. Each party is given 90 minutes to finish their meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available, but breakfast is only available for guests of Disney Ambassador Hotel. \r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\nEmpire Grill offers Italian, Mexican, and Asian-inspired cuisine. It's pricey (around $40 to $60 USD per plate) but Empire Grill is perfect if you're looking for a fine dining experience.
\r\n\r\n\r\nHana's menu includes delicious teppan-yaki dishes. Here you can enjoy breakfast (buffet style), lunch, or dinner.
\r\n\r\n\r\nTick Tock Diner sells sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers, and pastries. Here you can enjoy lunch, or dinner. It's a perfect place to grab a quick meal.
\r\n\r\n\r\nHyperion Lounge is located near Disney Ambassador Hotel's lobby. Here you can enjoy drinks or a full meal during breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDisney Ambassador Hotel's gift shop is Festival Disney\r\n and sits just off the lobby. \r\n\r\nAs you'd expect from a Disney gift shop, Festival Disney has a decent\r\ncollection of souvenirs ranging from small trinkets (such as keychains and \r\n\r\npens) to shirts and Disney princess items. Prices for these \r\n\r\nitems are what you'd pay in the theme parks. Festival Disney also offers the mega popular Tokyo Disney-branded cookies, chocolate, coffee tins, and similar items.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo Disney Celebration Hotel is Tokyo Disney Resort's \"value\" hotel option. It's less expensive and much less extravagantly themed than Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta, and Disney Ambassador Hotel. Even though Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel is owned and operated by Tokyo Disney Resort, the hotel is located offsite. Walking to the parks isn't impossible; it would just take over an hour and a half. Instead, Celebration Hotel offers free shuttle buses that take about 15 minutes to reach the parks. With all that being said, the rooms are basic but nice, and the service is excellent. If they're cheaper, our recommendation is to try and stay at one of the non-Disney owned on-site hotels (we recommend the Hilton or Sheraton) that have easy access to Tokyo Disney Resort Line's Bayside Station. For more information, see our non-Disney on-site hotel page.\r\n
\r\n\r\nTokyo Disney Celebration Hotel is split into two different buildings: Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel: Wish and Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel: Discover. The two buildings are the same in terms of room types and amenities. Rack rates for Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel range from around $200 USD to $450, depending on the time of year.
\r\n\r\nThe official Tokyo Disney Resort hotels can be booked on the Tokyo Disney Resort Online Reservation & Tickets website, which is in full English. Please note that the official TDR hotels sell out extremely fast, sometimes as soon as the reservation window opens, which is 9 AM (JST), five months before your arrival date. When your reservation window opens, be ready and waiting at your computer.
\r\n\r\nFor some strange reason, Tokyo Disney Resort's website only accepts MasterCard and American Express for payment. This means that you cannot use TDR's website to purchase tickets or make a hotel reservation if you have a Visa card. This is not the case for in-person transactions: you can use most foreign credit cards with no problem while you are in Tokyo Disney Resort.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGuests at the Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel can enjoy a perk called \"Happy Entry.\" This allows hotel guests to enter Tokyo Disneyland 15 minutes early. Not all attractions are open during this time, but it allows you to skip the massive lines that form outside the parks before they open for the day. It will also let you get a huge head start to your first destination. If you want to ride Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast with little to no wait, Happy Entry will give you a perfect chance to do so.
\r\nHotel guests are guaranteed entry to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, even on days when the parks are extremely busy and attendance is restricted.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCheck-in time at Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel is 3:00 PM, and check-out time is 11:00 AM. If you're from outside of Japan, you'll need to provide your passport and credit/debit card when you register.\r\n
\r\n\r\nIf you haven't purchased your theme park tickets yet, you may do so at the front desk. Guest services can also make dining reservations. See our Tokyo Disney Resort dining page for more information. Here you can store your baggage and make reservations for a bus back to the airport. \r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRoom amenities include HDTV, mini-refrigerators, hot water pot (with instant coffee and tea), safes large enough for laptops, and wireless Internet connections. In your room's bathroom you'll find shampoo, soap, and conditioner. The nightstand between the two beds has an alarm clock and USB ports to charge phones or tablets.
\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo Disney Celebration Hotel bathrooms are made up of three parts, each of which is separated by doors that lock. To the left is a shower room with a bathtub and both fixed and removable shower heads. The center is a sink area with a mirror, one sink, and limited counter space. To the right is a small room with a toilet. The toilet is a luxurious Japanese bidet that features heated seats and a stream of warm water to clean your rear end. If you don't wish to use any of these extra bidet features, simply flush it with the lever attached to the toilet itself. If you do want to try out the bidet, it's controlled by a panel with buttons.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo Disney Resort categorizes all of Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel's rooms based on the configuration of the room, and some by the view you see from it.\r\n
\r\n\r\nHere's the system Disney uses:\r\n
\r\nEach Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel building contains one breakfast buffet restaurant: Wish Cafe in the Wish building, and Discover Cafe in the Discover building. The breakfast buffet is offered from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM every morning. Tickets can be purchased from a vending machine outside of the entrance to each restaurant.\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNeither Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel buildings have a gift shop. They used to have one called Disney Fantasy\r\n, but now these rooms are used to promote the resort's mobile shopping app, which unfortunately is only available to Japanese residents. \r\n
\r\n\r\nWish Snacks & Sundries and Discover Snacks & Sundries sells snacks, drinks, and basic pharmacy items such as aspirin, cold medicine, baby diapers and formula, shampoo, and the like. Snacks & Sundries is a good place to grab some quick snacks, or to buy some items you may have forgotten at home.
\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel is themed to the Disney and Pixar's Toy Story film series. It sits near the resort's Bayside Station, which is one of the stops on the Tokyo Disney Resort Line, which is Tokyo Disney's version of the monorail found in Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Toy Story Hotel is considered to be the resort's moderately priced hotel option, therefore it isn't as lavishly themed as other official Disney hotels on site, such as Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta and Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.\r\n
\r\n\r\nToy Story Hotel also consists of a plaza and courtyard filled with large Toy Story character figures and decorations, as well as a restaurant and a shop.

\r\n\r\nLotso Garden Cafe is a buffet with views of a Tokyo Bay. The buffet serves everything from meat dishes, noodles, curry, fish, salads, fresh fruit, and more. There’s also a large variety of delicious desserts. Even though the price is around ¥3500 per a person, you’re getting a great bang for your buck here because the buffet is all you can eat. Besides your stomach, the only other limit is time. Each party is given 90 minutes to finish their meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available. Lotso Garden Cafe is exclusive to Toy Story Hotel guests. \r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\nThe entrance to Lotso Garden Cafe sits near the hotel's lobby. \r\n
\r\n\r\nToy Story Hotel's gift shop is Gift Planet\r\n and sits just off the lobby. \r\n\r\nAs you'd expect from a Disney gift shop, Gift Planet has a decent\r\ncollection of souvenirs ranging from small trinkets such as keychains and \r\n\r\npens, to shirts and Disney princess items. Prices for these \r\n\r\nitems are what you'd pay in the theme parks. Gift Planet also offers the mega popular Tokyo Disney-branded cookies, chocolate, coffee tins, and similar items.\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo Disneyland Hotel sits near the front entrance of the Tokyo Disneyland theme park. Its luxurious guest rooms have a Victorian theme, similar to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World. Walking time to Tokyo Disneyland is about 10 minutes. The Tokyo Disney Resort Line - Tokyo Disneyland Station (aka the monorail), is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The Tokyo Disney Resort Line offers transportation to Tokyo DisneySea, Ikspiari and the JR Maihama Station (where you can catch a train to the city), and Bayside Station (where all non-Disney on-site hotels are located). \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nTokyo Disneyland Hotel also consists of a landscaped plaza with Disney character topiaries, a swimming complex, restaurants, and shops.

\r\n\r\nTokyo Disneyland Hotel has two full-service restaurants, and one lounge. If none \r\n\r\nof these establishments meet your needs you can take about a 15 minute walk to Ikspari and eat at any one of its restaurants of varying quality and price range.\r\n
\r\n\r\nSherwood Garden is a buffet with views of a Victorian garden. The buffet serves everything from meat dishes, noodles, curry, fish, salads, fresh fruit, and more.

\r\n\r\n\r\nCANNA has a contemporary/flowery/modern art interior. We found the menu to be surprisingly sophisticated with items like Grilled Beef Cheek, and Sauteed Golden Thread with Shiitake and Kuji Scallion Broth. It's pricey (around $40 to $60 USD per a plate) but CANNA is perfect if you're looking for a fine dining experience.
\r\n\r\n\r\nDreamers Lounge is located inside Tokyo Disneyland Hotel's beautiful lobby. Here you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo Disneyland Hotel's gift shop is Disney Mercantile\r\n and sits just off the lobby. \r\n\r\nAs you'd expect from a Disney gift shop, Disney Mercantile has a decent\r\ncollection of souvenirs ranging from small trinkets such as keychains and \r\n\r\npens, to shirts and Disney princess items.

\r\n\r\nTokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel sits on the eastern side of the Tokyo DisneySea theme park. The hotel sports a art nouveau aesthetic, and like Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta at the front of DisneySea, Fantasy Springs hotel is also located inside of the park, with rooms looking directly into the Fantasy Springs section.
\r\n\r\nTokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel is made up of two sections, the Fantasy Chateau and the ultra-expensive and luxurious Grand Chateau.

\r\n\r\n\r\nFantasy Springs Hotel seen from inside the Fantasy Springs section of Tokyo DisneySea\r\n
\r\nA unique feature of Fantasy Springs Hotel is that is has an entrance directly into Fantasy Springs. The use of this entrance is only for guests staying at Fantasy Springs Hotel or Toy Story Hotel. That means even if you're staying at Hilton Tokyo Bay, Sheraton Tokyo Bay, or any of the other non-Disney on-site hotels, which are directly across from Fantasy Springs Hotel, entering Tokyo DisneySea from this entrance can not be done. All Tokyo DisneySea visitors can use this exit to leave the park up until 9:00 PM.
\r\n\r\nA word of warning if you want to use this to leave the park at the end of the night: This entrance/exit closes promptly at DisneySea's closing time.
\r\n\r\nThat means even if you are one minute late, you have to walk all the way to the front of the park, take the Resort Line back Bayside Station. If you’re familiar with Tokyo, walking from Fantasy Springs, through the park, and to the entrance to Tokyo DisneySea it's about the same distance as walking from Harajuku station to Shinjuku.
\r\n\r\n\r\nWalking time to Tokyo DisneySea is only a few minutes thanks to an entrance to the park located just outside of the hotel's entrance. The Tokyo Disney Resort Line - Bayside Station (aka the monorail), is about a 3 minute walk from the hotel. The Tokyo Disney Resort Line offers transportation to the main entrance of Tokyo DisneySea, Tokyo Disneyland, Ikspiari and the JR Maihama Station (where you can catch a train to the city). \r\n

\r\nFantasy Springs Hotel has two full-service restaurants, and one lounge. If none of these establishments meet your needs you can take short Disney Resort Line ride to Ikspari and eat at any one of its restaurants of varying quality and prices. All of Fantasy Springs Hotel's restaurants and lounges are exclusive to guests staying at Fantasy Springs Hotel. \r\n
\r\n\r\nFantasy Springs Restaurant is a buffet that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with murals themed to Disney films such as Tangled, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
\r\n\r\n\r\nGrand Paradise Lounge is located just off of the hotel's entrance. Here you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The lounge also offers views of Mediterranean Harbor in Tokyo DisneySea.
\r\n\r\nLa Libellule offers authentic French cuisine in a luxurious setting with views of Fantasy Springs inside Tokyo DisneySea. La Libellule is exclusive to guests staying at the Grand Chateau portion of Fantasy Springs Hotel. \r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFantasy Springs Gifts located at the foot of Fantasy Springs Hotel inside Tokyo DisneySea. There are no entrances to the giftshop inside the hotel. That means you must have a ticket to DisneySea to access Fantasy Springs Gifts.
\r\n\r\n\r\nTokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta sits near the front entrance of the Tokyo DisneySea theme park. The hotel is sometimes marketed as the only Disney hotel in the world that sits entirely inside a Disney park. While that's not exactly true (the hotel's main entrance is not located inside DisneySea), we'll give them a pass because the majority of the hotel is located inside DisneySea. The exterior is heavily themed after Portofino in Italy. MiraCosta is hands down the most extravagantly themed Disney hotel in the world. Its luxurious guest rooms also have an Italian theme with some rooms featuring Disney character constellations on the ceiling, and murals of DisneySea's Mediterranean Harbor on the walls. Other rooms feature ornate Venetian designs. Walking time to Tokyo DisneySea is only a few minutes thanks to an entrance to the park located just outside of the lobby. The Tokyo Disney Resort Line - Tokyo DisneySea Station (aka the monorail), is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The Tokyo Disney Resort Line offers transportation to Tokyo Disneyland, Ikspiari and the JR Maihama Station (where you can catch a train to the city), and Bayside Station (where all non-Disney on-site hotels are located). \r\n

\r\nRoom amenities include HDTV, mini-refrigerators, hot water pot (with instant coffee and tea), safes large enough for laptops, and wireless Internet connections. In your room's bathroom you'll find shampoo, soap, and conditioner in nicely themed bottles that you're allowed to keep after you check out, as well as a toiletry accessory kit containing toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair comb, cotton swabs, and more. The nightstand between the two beds has a telephone and alarm clock. Rooms also contain a closet with hangers, an iron with ironing board, and enough room to store a few pieces of luggage.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMiraCosta bathrooms are made up of three parts, each of which are separated by doors that lock. To the left is a shower room with a bathtub, and both fixed and removable shower heads. The center is a sink area with a mirror, one sink, and limited counter space. To the right is a small room with a toilet. The toilet is a luxurious Japanese bidet that features heated seats and a stream of warm water to clean your rear end. If you don't wish to use any of these extra bidet features, you can simply flush it with the lever attached to the toilet itself. If you do want to try out the bidet, it's controlled by a panel with buttons.

\r\n\r\n\r\nSome rooms offer stunning views of Tokyo DisneySea. \r\n
\r\n\r\nTokyo Disney Resort categorizes all of MiraCosta's rooms based on the configuration of the room and what you see from inside the room.\r\n
\r\n\r\nHere's the system Disney uses:\r\n

\r\nHotel MiraCosta's Terme Venezia complex is made up of one indoor pool, one outdoor pool (which is only offered during summer months, usually around mid-July to early-September, and is open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM), a spa, and fitness room. The indoor pool, spa, and fitness room hours are 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM from early-July to mid-September, and 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM during the rest of the year. To use the pools, fitness room, and spa during the summer months there is a fee of ￥3,000 per a day for ages 12 and up and ￥1,500 for ages 4 to 11. During non-summer months the fee is ￥2,000 per a day for ages 12 and up and ￥1,000 for ages 4 to 11. The following pool rules are strictly enforced, especially the rule about covering tattoos:
\r\n\r\nHotel MiraCosta has two full-service restaurants, and one lounge. If none \r\n\r\nof these establishments meet your needs you can take short Disney Resort Line ride to Ikspari and eat at any one of its restaurants of varying quality and prices.\r\n
\r\n\r\nOceano is a buffet with views of Mediterranean Harbor in Tokyo DisneySea. The buffet serves everything from meat dishes, noodles, curry, fish, salads, fresh fruit, and more. There’s also a large variety of delicious desserts. Even though the price is around ¥3000 per a person, you’re getting a great bang for your buck here because the buffet is all you can eat. Besides your stomach, the only other limit is time. Each party is given 120 minutes to finish their meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available. For lunch and dinner, non-buffet entrees and meals are available as well. \r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\nSilk Road Garden offers Chinese cuisine, and artwork showing Marco Polo’s journey from Italy to China. It's pricey (around $40 to $60 USD per a plate) but perfect if you're looking for a fine dining experience.
\r\n\r\n\r\nBellaVista Lounge is located near MiraCosta's lobby. Here you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The lounge also offers views of Mediterranean Harbor in Tokyo DisneySea.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMiraCosta's gift shop is MickeyAngelo Gifts\r\n and sits just off the lobby. \r\n\r\nAs you'd expect from a Disney gift shop, MickeyAngelo Gifts has a decent\r\ncollection of souvenirs ranging from small trinkets (such as keychains and \r\n\r\npens) to shirts and Disney princess items. Prices for these \r\n\r\nitems are what you'd pay in the theme parks. MickeyAngelo Gifts also offers the mega popular Tokyo Disney-branded cookies, chocolate, coffee tins, and similar items.\r\n
