Japan - Help please

[Guest]

Hello,

Looking for some advise on Tokyo Disney please.

I have done Walt Disney World numerous times and more recently California and Disneyland Paris. However I am clueless when it comes to Japan... I find their website very confusing.

Has anybody got any tips... for booking hotels (preferably Disney onsite) Tickets, transport etc...

I am looking to go around February time next year for 5 days each time I select my dates on the official Disney website it tells me the rooms are only available for 1 night? I have tried several dates and this keeps happening.

Any advise a tall regarding Tokyo Disney would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be on, but have you looked at booking.com for the Disney hotel?
I've just searched for 19/2 to 24/2 (wasn't sure of your dates) and it's £739.39 for a non refundable room or £849.86 for a room you pay for when you arrive with free cancellation.
That's for the Hilton Tokyo Bay.

Thank you my preferred dates would be around 9th Feb for 5 nights

For those dates it's showing as £ £1114.61 at the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay (pay when you arrive) or £801.16 to pay now - non refundable. The Tokyo Bay Maihama Hotel is £677.80 (pay at property)

Thank you so much for your reply, I'm really looking at the 4 official Disney hotels though. Thats where I'm finding the problem. they either seem to be fully booked on the dates I'm putting in and only allowing me to book for one night or depending on how I try and book on the official site it only comes up with 2 night stays

We stayed at the Disneyland hotel in July for 5 nights and it was stunning!
The online booking window opens up 5 months in advance and you will need to book more or less at the exact moment it does to guarantee the room you want. They really do sell out immediently.
Have a look at doing a dummy booking for 5 months from today's date and see what's available then.
It will be worth the effort 👍

Ah ok thank you so much, that might be why then. I did think maybe they are just super popular!

I agree. I booked my stay back in April, about 3 days off the 6 month mark and all I could get was the Ambassador Donald Duck Room (I used DVC points and this was more points than the DL Hotel I was trying for). You might have top opt to stay at one of the official hotels, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

See more...

I'd second this. We stayed at the same hotel and booked at exactly five months out. It's also possible to book some packages at six months out, so some rooms will already have gone at the five month mark.
