A holiday to Tokyo Disneyland can be a lot of fun, but like any overseas holiday it can put a strain on finances! With some small cost-cutting measures you can still have a great Tokyo Disney holiday without stressing out over the credit card bills when you return home.

Cheap flights can go a long way towards saving money, which you can then perhaps use on the more fun things like souvenirs!

Another major trip cost can be accommodation, so it can certainly help the wallet by choosing a hotel with added perks – like Happy Entry (Tokyo Disney Resort Hotels only) and free shuttle bus transportation to the Disney Parks!

Here is a list of hotels with free shuttle buses to either the Tokyo Disney Parks or Tokyo Disney Resort Line monorail. Many of the official Disney hotels also offer a free shuttle bus to and from Maihama train station at Disneyland.

Is the Henn Na Hotel really run by dinosaurs?

It sure is! We arrived at 11pm at night to be met by large dinosaur animatronics in hotel lobby including two Velociraptor dinosaur robots at the reception desk!

The Henn Na Hotel brand has the distinction of being the first ever dinosaur robot run hotels in the world!

With the help of in ipad for information input, a passport scanning pad, electronic funds transfer machine and automatic room key issue we were checked in – and checked out in the morning – all by dinosaur robots!

Apart from poking our heads into the breakfast restaurant next door before we left early the next morning, we didn’t see one staff member throughout our stay.

Watch our Henn Na Maihama Hotel Video – Dinosaur Check In!

Watch what it’s like to be checked in to a hotel by dinosaur robots in our YouTube video here!

The Henn Na Maihama Tokyo Bay is like a regular three-star hotel in Tokyo. The basic rooms are small in size but not tiny like some Japanese three-star hotels can be.

Rooms are clean and modern with basic furnishings, a small remote-control TV, tea amenities, hair dryer, safe and Japan hotels’ characteristically firm beds. There is reverse cycle air conditioning, a small fridge and Japanese plug outlets.

The hotel rooms have private bathroom amenities of a separate toilet and small bath shower room. There are towels and toiletries including soap, toothbrushes, shampoo and conditioner.

Do you really get a robot in your hotel room?

Yes, you do! The unusual bonus in your hotel room is your own personal room concierge robot! It took us a while to read its instruction page and get it speaking English as you can see in the Room Tour video, but it was a lot of fun to have it in there! The room concierge robot can be set as an alarm clock, play quizes, tell stories, dance and more!

Take a look around our room at the Henn na Maihama Hotel which includes us trying to interact with our room concierge robot!

Which is the cheapest Tokyo Disney Hotel?

The cheapest hotel Tokyo Disney Hotel is the Disney Celebration Hotel.

The Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel is actually two separate hotels located across the road from each other.

Whilst both Celebration Hotels are structurally similar and offer the same rooms and services, the inside theming is quite different.

Are Tokyo Disney Celebration Wish and Discover hotels the same?

Apart from their colour, from the street both sides of the Celebration Hotel look the same. Both complexes feature an internal courtyard and the same basic layout. Both hotel sides offer twin check in and ticketing desks, breakfast restaurants, general guest services and facilities.

Does the Disney Celebration Hotel have a Konbini (Convenience Store)?

Yes. Inside each side of the Disney Celebration Hotel you’ll find a large ground floor entrance and lobby which branches off into two long corridors on either side containing a small convenience store, Disney Fantasy souvenir shop, games room, smoking room and a large cafe.

You’ll also find a cash exchange machine, souvenir brass coin press and public telephone.

Rooms and bathrooms in both hotels are the same layouts with a shower room with bath.

What is the difference between Celebration Wish and Celebration Discover hotels?

The main difference between the two Celebration Hotel sides is theming. Each side features theming from a different Tokyo Disney Park. The quality of theming when compared with the more expensive Tokyo Disney hotels is basic, but is still a charming option that will have the little kids excited for their Disney stay.

Disney Celebration Wish hotel

The Disney Celebration Wish hotel is officially themed around wishes and dreams – which lends to predominant theming around Tokyo Disneyland. Think fairy-tales, classic Disney rides highlighted in small glass cases on pedestals and more.

Wish presents as perhaps the most elaborate complex. Whilst both sides of Celebration have internal garden courtyards, Wish’s cream coloured building features an internal, character-filled courtyard of topiary trees which illuminate at night.

The main foyer features Minnie Mouse sitting in the midst of a tea cup installation which is a great photo opportunity. The rest of the foyer is adorned with stylised Disneyland characters and scenes.

Guest rooms and public areas such as corridors and elevators are themed in a Tokyo Disneyland fairy-tale style.

Disney Celebration Discover hotel

The Disney Celebration Discover hotel is officially themed around adventure and discovery – which allows for predominantly Disney Sea theming. (Strictly speaking, our room’s floor in Discover featured Stitch who is the main character of the show in the Tiki Room inside of Tokyo Disneyland!).

Discover’s foyer presents as more low-key than Celebration Wish. Discover’s pale pink-coloured building’s courtyard is a more wild garden with Disney installations such as a small Pirate Ship.

The main foyer is more adventure-themed than Wish and features Mickey Mouse with a large canoe installation for a fun photo opportunity. The foyer also features much of Disney Sea rides and characters with a distinctly dystopian feel, including Journey to the Center of the Earth and 2000 Leagues Under the Sea ride miniature features inside small glass cases on pedestals.

Guest rooms and public areas such as corridors and elevators are themed in a Tokyo Disney Sea adventure style.

How much is the Disney Celebration Hotel price per night?

Disney Celebration Hotel costs from 21,500 Japanese Yen a night for two adults and two children in a standard room containing four standard beds.

Tokyo Disney Resort rates the Celebration Hotel as a Value class hotel, the one and only Value hotel of all the Tokyo Disney Resort hotels.

What is a Disney Celebration hotel room like?

We stayed two nights at the Celebration Hotel, one night in each hotel.

Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel Discover Standard Room (Ocean Side)
(Twin Bed + Daybed + Daybed)

Our Celebration Discover room was colourfully themed (in a budget way) with a printed material half-wall panel running the length of one wall displaying Disney Sea geographic features such as the volcano, harbour and characters. The room also had themed carpet.

There was a small balcony with a view of the surrounding neighbourhood and the ocean in the distance. (It’s best to ignore the Ocean side references when booking your Celebration Hotel room. The views from the Celebration hotel with windows facing to the outside is urban at best with only distant views of the ocean)

You can see a full room tour of our Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel Discover room on YouTube here.

Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel Wish Superior Room
(Twin Bed + Daybed + Daybed)

Our Celebration Wish room was a Superior Room and so slightly larger than our Discover room. It was colourfully themed (in a budget way) with a printed material half-wall panel running the length of one wall displaying Disneyland and its characters. There was also themed carpeting.

How big are Twin Beds in Tokyo Disney Hotels?

This can vary from Tokyo Disney Hotel to Hotel, depending on their price.

Both of our Celebration room bookings slept 4 people, and the sleeping arrangements consisted of two single beds and two Day Beds.

Twin Beds at Tokyo Disney should not to be confused with a twin or double bed in Australia that holds two adults. The Tokyo Disney Twin Bed is a large single bed which comfortable fits one adult-sized person, and is usually big enough to bedshare with a small child. Bedshare is allowed with children 11 and under at Tokyo Disney Hotels, however larger children in a twin bed may be a bit of a squeeze!

At the Celebration Hotel beds are the smallest and least generous version single beds of all the Tokyo Disney Hotels. All beds come with one small pillow instead of two and to bedshare with a child could be challenging due to the bed sizes.

Are Day Beds at the Celebration Hotel big enough for adults?

Yes. The remaining beds in our Celebration rooms were two day beds, which are large enough to accommodate one adult each. You’ll find the pillow for the day beds underneath the bed in a plastic crate. There are no extra pillows or blankets. This is the same for day beds and trundle beds at most Tokyo Disney Hotels.

Other furniture in our Disney Celebration hotel rooms included a dresser with a medium sized TV and telephone on it and housing a safe, small bar fridge and tea and coffee facilities. Inside the drawers were four sets of freshly laundered pyjamas.

A suitcase stand stood next to the TV stand, a small table, two hanging hooks for clothes (no wardrobe or cupboard),

All Tokyo Disney Hotel TVs includes the Disney+ Channel.

What is a Disney Celebration bathroom ensuite like?

Disney Celebration ensuites are small in size and are made up of three small areas.

There’s a separate toilet with all the bidet cleaning buttons you find on most Japan toilets.

A small vanity area contains one hand basin countertop with a mirror, soap and themed packaged plastic Disney toiletries such as toothbrushes and hair brushes. Disappointingly, the toiletry items inside the Disney themed packets are not Disney printed as well. A hair dryer is also supplied.

A third small room opening off the bathroom vanity area reveals a small half-sized deep bath and handheld shower. In many budget Japanese hotels you will find shower rooms rather than a separate shower cubicle. These can be challenging to get used to at first, but once you work them out you soon find they drain very efficiently. Some of us preferred using the bath each day instead of grappling with the hand held shower nozzle!
