When the kids are on break, it is EXTREMELY crowded in the parks and not much fun! Sorry, it's hard to find good websites. In fact, I think you have found pretty much the best resource for Tokyo Disney on the net right here. Just ask any questions, and someone will have the answers. Have fun planning your trip!
Originally Posted By Goofys Apprentice Here are your basic options for hotels: First, there are 2 "pure Disney" hotels, the MiraCosta (about $450 per nite) and the Ambassador (about $300 I think). On the Disney site, www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp you can click on "English" then "Resort Hotels". This will list the official hotels and the various levels of nearby hotels. Of the latter, the consensus favorites with Westerners are the Sheraton and Hilton. They are a short monorail ride from the parks, and I think about $250 per nite. Another choice is to stay in Tokyo itself. I did this and it's kinda fun, but also a little stressful. You do get a taste of the real Tokyo at each end of the day. It's about a 30 to 60 minute train trip each way, about $9 roundtrip. The short answer of "which hotel?" is the New Otani, a deluxe hotel in Central Tokyo which I believe they overbuilt, thus they have some trouble filling rooms, and you can get some good deals. You can search Hotels.com and Expedia.com for hotels at various price ranges. Expedia has some nice plane and hotel packages, if you will be in Tokyo for exactly one week. Then there are some more exotic choices, probably not advised for a first trip: * Ryokans -- Japanese style inns. Usually they have a lot of rules, and limited English speaking. * Capsule hotels * The hotel under the train tracks. Other than that, poke around the Disney site and you will see pretty good descriptions of the rides, restaurants, etc., and the ticket options.
