Originally Posted By Mr X Well, aside from the Disney Partner hotels which are actually on the monorail loop, there are also three options at Shin-Urayasu station which is just one stop from Disney.

There's also the Hotel Emion, which is also expensive and very nice but about a 10 minute walk from the station. Another moderate choice would be the Palm and Fountain hotels which are owned by the OLC, they are fairly far from Shin-Urayasu station but offer shuttle service to the resort. There's also that weird hotel under the train tracks at Maihama station (Disney's location), but I'm not sure I'd recommend that...it's *literally* under the tracks! Hope that helps.
Originally Posted By Mr X On second thought, Emion is more like a 15-20 minute walk to Shin-Urayasu station. Kind of remote, really. No idea if they run a shuttle or anything, but it's a high end place so I'm sure they have some options available.

The Partner Hotels are the ones nearby but not at the resort, including four that you mentioned: Brighton, Oriental, Emion, and Palm & Fountain Terrace. All of those offer free shuttles to the parks that run throughout the day. Then there are the Good Neighbor hotels, which are actually in Tokyo. These also offer free shuttles, but since they're 30-60 minutes away, these shuttles only run during certain hours (such as to the resort in the morning only, and from the resort in the evening only).

Originally Posted By Mr X Ah...thanks. That always confused me, actually. And there's your answer about Emion (I'm not sure a shuttle from Brighton or Oriental would be worth it, I think the train would be faster, at least to TDL...although it's free vs. the roughly $1.50 you have to pay for the train so there's that, too).
Originally Posted By SuperDry Also, note how ticketing benefits vary based on type of hotel: Disney & Official hotels: at-hotel park ticket sales, and guaranteed ticket sales and guaranteed park admission for registered guests. Partner hotels: at-hotel park ticket sales, but no special benefits on sold-out days. Good neighbor hotels: no hotel ticketing services or benefits.
