Tokyo Disney Hotel Vacation Packages
Tokyo Disneyland offer a few vacation packages that you can book a month earlier than just room bookings alone (which are available three months in advance).
Basically, the “Enjoy Lots Of Attractions – 2 Days” vacation package – includes the following per person:

[Updated cost analysis]
Apologies, I realised that the vacation package used for the comparison below is for 1A2C. I’ve adjusted all the ala carte pricing accordingly. Want to update this asap so everyone can make a more informed decision. I’d encourage members to do their own analysis as pricing varies based on number of people/rides selected/season etc.
[Original post]
For those who are hesitant about booking the vacation packages due to the high prices, but worried that they may not get their desired Disney hotel when booking slots become available, I’m sharing my own cost analysis for the Toy Story Hotel, based on the 3 Days Attractions package for 2 adults and 2 kids (7yo and 9yo) with bed use (Standard Room Bay View). I’ve used weekend rates for the ala carte cost analysis. JPY has been converted to USD.
Hope this helps! – Ann

For the Aussies travelling;
I just purchased the Toy Story Hotel Vacation Package to lock in my dates (24/12/23-26/12/23) & because it was killing me not being able to book otherwise due to it being Christmas period.
I could only book a max of 2 nights (i wanted 3).
For 2x adults, 12yrs & 9yrs it came to $4,337.24AUD. I thought only a deposit was going to be charged, but the whole amount has come off my card. So be weary of this.
Includes per person:
2 nyts in Bay View Room
2x Breakfast
1x Disneyland Pass + Attraction Tix
2x DisneySea Pass + Attraction Tix
Comes with some other minor souvenir things.
I spent alot of time looking at the different rides before selecting which attraction pass & time. There are YouTube clips for each ride so you can get a glimps what it is like and check height restrictions etc.
What also to be mindful of is, that you have to collect your Vacation Package Documents from the hotel before going to the Park. I didn’t think of this and booked a 9am attraction time on our check in day. So I’m hoping we can pick up super early or the night prior. Of not, we’ll be hustling 🏃🏼♀️
What group members say…
Their “Thanksgiving” is always on 23rd and it’s celebrated nationally, where as Christmas isn’t a national holiday for them, which could be the reason for the higher cost. Did the vacation package allow you to book just one room for all 4 of you? I just booked last night 2 adults 2 children (ages 3&6) for $2079 USD, it allows the 3yo to bed share. – Group member
What group members say…
…Their vacation packages are likely still an available as they must reserve a certain number of rooms for these.
The rooms (not in the vacation packages) book out so fast, when I did it they were literally dropping off before my eyes. It is hectic. – Group member
Admin note: At the current time it appears that room packages that include reserved seating for parades applies only to Japanese resident vacation package bookings.
How soon can I pick up my Tokyo Disney Vacation Package park tickets?
General info coming through says you can’t pick up your tickets the night before your first day commences but you can get your tickets from your hotel (some say the Disney ticketing office, however be guided by your personal Vacation Package information) from 7am (not 6am) the morning of your first day.
Whilst you can leave your baggage at your Disney hotel you can’t check into your room early (until check in time later) or get Happy (early) Entry to the parks for that first Vacation Package day.
What group members say…
We stayed at Toy Story but were at the Sheraton the night before our Toy Story check in day. We walked over about 7am, checked in and collected our package tickets/info etc. We were given a room key but access was only from 4.30pm. We didn’t have happy entry for day 1 (DisneySea) but had timed entry passes, drink vouchers etc that could all be used. We then had happy entry for Disney the next day, left all our bags at hotel for the day at guest services and didn’t return until later that night.
What group members say…
You don’t receive the “Package” until your Check in day. It’s a large folder and inside are all your tickets, premium passes etc.
When you enter the park (early entry 15 mins included) cast member will scan the ticket and you can then scan it into the app.
You receive a package with all the tickets, perforated tickets, you rip them off and present them at the gate, they scan your paper ticket.
Attraction ticket is for meet and greets, supposedly shows.
They have scheduled times for all and you select which time after you get the package confirmation.
On the website you sign into your account and go to the vacation package tab or there is a section (can’t remember the name) it’s like a wallet, you open it and it shows the package and dates etc click to add experiences and your choices of premium passes and attractions (Attractions only come with w specific package choice)
Just to add, it is much easier to navigate the package information if you use a browser and better to use the JP site and change the language to English.
Sorry also forgot to mention that premium passes have a select few rides to choose from but there is also a choice for “Eligible “rides that are lumped together e,g poohs hunny hut, Rodger rabbit etc
Here’s an example of some of the tickets you get (depending on how many people booked and how many days.
Each of these are presented in a sheet per day.

What group members say…
The big difference (with Vacation Packages) is you can book the hotel earlier than three months out (around 4 months) so you get a head start. It also includes breakfast, your tickets and booking their version of fast pass for popular rides. But, it comes at a cost. Definitely more expensive than booking everything separately but it certainly is convenient and gives a better chance of getting the hotel you wanted. Same process with the website but just choose vacation package rather than hotel. – Group member

Personally I guess depends how old are you and your kids and how much time do you have ?
Personally dropped the idea of vacation packages as foreigner can only get the option of 2 days in sea and 1 day in land for a 3d2n package.
Did a brief calculation for the dates I wanted to visit, the package simply 2x the cost of hotel (2nights at Disneyland hotel + 3 days park tickets). Disclaimers: My kids are younger and not able to get on all rides
If you don’t mind the cost and wanted to have most the popular rides, package May suit you. – Group member
