One Year On, DisneyLand Hotel, Tokyo

Tokyo Disney Resort has many hotels that do a great job servicing the DisneyLand and DisneySea parks, but a year ago today the DisneyLand Hotel was officially opened. And this hotel is worth a visit – whether it be for photos, tea or a stay overnight.

The hotel is a magnificent structure as you would expect. It has the elegance and spectacular service. It also has the convinience with a small supermarket – or conbini store located within the hotel.

It is great to give a bird’s eye view of the lobby. The chandeliers are truely amazing. And if you get in one of the feature elevators the view of the full set of chandeliers is brilliant.

I also really liked the character designs in wrought iron – can you see Donald Duck?

The elevator is not the only surprise – there are merry-go-round and dolls house displays in the lobby.

The conbini store is called Looking Glass Gifts and is open 24 hours. There are gifts for sale here but also fresh foods and snacks to purchase.

This is really useful to know if you are travelling with your family – somebody has always forgotten something or is hungry! The noodles from here were good.

Of course we are talking Disney so the place is also full of princesses!

There is a shop here at the hotel (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique) where you can hire these princess character clothes and walk about for a short while to take photos. Staff are on hand for assistance in dressing and grooming.

Reception staff speak English and are so helpful! They let us know that there are special times for breakfast bookings in the hotel that are cheaper than their peak hour breakfast times. And these prices were competitive with the other Disney Resort Hotels. This was good to know. The staff also handed out DisneyLand Hotel badges for the children.

The rooms are full of character, but not without their price tag obviously! After all this is Disney.

And whilst the price tag is high – even for a night it is worth the experience of Disney luxury!

I also found this blog written on July 8 2008 – the day of the opening – its an interesting comparison with my post a year on – Disneyland Hotel is certainly worth a visit.
