Help Please - Tokyo flights changed

Just woke up to an email saying my flight from Manchester to Düsseldorf next May has been cancelled.

Phoned ANA this morning and they’ve now booked me onto a flight a day earlier via Brussels, only problem is there’s only 1hr 5mins connection time now. Is this doable? The flight is at 21:10 so hopefully won’t be as busy in the airport compared to a morning flight - but I’m panicking now as never done a connecting flight before.

Also as I’ll be arriving a day earlier need a hotel for the night - would anyone recommend booking a Tokyo Disney Hotel and hopefully doing the after 6pm ticket and following day in DisneySea or would that be too tiring?

Any help/suggestions would be really appreciated

I have flown through Brussels lots - it is quite a compact airport and if the flight is on time it should be ok. A rush but doable. However if the flight is late, it would be difficult. Is there an earlier flight you could take to Brussels?

We made a 1.5 hour connection in CDG with a full 15 mins to spare. Brussels is waaaay smaller. You have a through ticket so you wont need to collect luggage, that travels with you.

Tokyo disney partner hotels are great and on the monorail. We stopped in Okura bay, highly recommended by us. You can take the airport limousine bus service to the door.

We have a lot in common - we flew ANA to Haneda, but from Heathrow

We caught the limo bus to Hilton Tokyo Bay and bought the after 6pm ticket and lasted until 10pm closing time in Disneyland - but we had some great snoozing (5 or 6 hours worth on the plane) on the overnight flight from Heathrow. We did the next day in Sea and were fine, but think the snoozing on the plane had been key.

Thanks for the responses guys it’s really helped put my mind at ease. Apparently as we’re arriving from a non schengen country and are going to a non schengen country both arrive and depart from pier B so should be a quickish walk and only have to go through security. (Have watched a YouTube vid lol)
Have a few months to make sure my powerwalking speed increases 😜

Hopefully we’ll get to sleep as well 😄
We arrive at 15:40 so not sure if we’ll make Disney on the first day - depends on how long it takes in airport (will be prepared with all required info for customs forms) so hopefully that won’t take as long then getting limo bus which is supposed to take about 1.5hrs. Will just play it by ear when we arrive. If not I’m tempted to add the Disney stay at the end of the trip as we’ve gained a day...decisions, decisions 😄
