"It costs how much?!"
My friend had just booked a one night stay at one of the resort hotels at Tokyo Disneyland. It was a special celebration to mark his fifth wedding anniversary. And it was something he'd saved hard for because it was something his wife had long dreamed of doing.
Well, I say more power to him for being such a lovely husband. But... if you're looking for a Tokyo Disneyland Hotel that's close enough to all the action without the price tag of the Tokyo Disney Resort hotels, you'll be glad to know there are other options. Starting with the official six.
There are 6 official Disney hotels that are all within a stones throw of the park. Because they're not inside the ground they don't cost as much, but you are still eligible for many of the same benefits as guests staying at the resort hotels. Then there's the added bonus that, because they're just a little bit removed from the park itself, it's easy to escape if you need to take a break from all the action.
Want to know more? Here they are:
Hilton Tokyo Bay
The Hilton Tokyo Bay has both Japanese and Western style rooms available, and there is a Japanese garden with a pool for when you need to take a break. There's also an aromatherapy salon for when you really need to unwind. Click here for more information on the Hilton Tokyo Bay
Hotel Okura Tokyo Bay
The Okura Tokyo Disneyland hotel offers spacious rooms with good facilities including a pool and garden area where, if you need to, you can escape the crowds in the park.
