Tokyo Disney Resort
On the grounds of the Tokyo Disney Resort are six hotels that are operated by other companies, but which provide similar quality and service and are part of the Official Hotels of Tokyo Disney Resort. They do not have the Disney characters, though some have well-developed themes such as magical forests or oceans.
For a quiet retreat from a day exploring the parks, try Tokyo Bay Maihama Hotel or Hotel Okura Tokyo Bay. Families might really enjoy Sunroute Plaza Tokyo or Hilton Tokyo Bay. For more information about the official hotels, go to: http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/en/about/rh/official.html
As well as providing a comfortable stay, there are several useful benefits. Guests can purchase Disney park tickets at the hotel or redeem ticket vouchers from a travel agency. Park admission is guaranteed, even on days of high capacity. Free shuttle buses also run from the hotels to the parks. Disney merchandise is carried in the gift shops of the official hotels, and information about the park schedule is happily provided.
Hilton Tokyo Bay
Another practical benefit is Baggage Delivery. If you arrive before check-in, or do not want to go directly to the hotel, just go to the Disney Resort Welcome Center next to JR Maihama Station. Check your baggage in, and it will be delivered to the hotel for free. For more information about the special guest benefits: http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/en/about/rh/official.html#tokuten
Tokyo Disney Resort Monorail
Official Hotels of Tokyo Disney Resort may be considered expensive, but the convenience of having a close place to take a break during the day, as well as avoiding the commute with a tired family, are worth it. These hotels have large rooms with good views which are not easy to find for the same price in downtown Tokyo.
