You can take the bus from Shinjuku station, Tokyo station, Yokohama station, or Akihabara station (to name a few). Bus prices range from 1,000 to 2,000 yen depending on where you leave from.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Train<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I prefer to take the train &#8211; it is the cheapest and quickest way.<\/p>\n<p>Travel to <strong>Maihama<\/strong> <strong>station<\/strong>\u00a0and when you arrive, head for the south exit. If you turn right outside the ticket gates, you\u2019ll be at the Disneyland entrance in about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Heading left will take you to Ikspiari &#8211; the equivalent to Downtown Disney in California. If you\u2019re not familiar with Downtown Disney, it\u2019s a place for shopping and eating outside of the park that doesn\u2019t require an entrance fee.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Getting around \u2013 The monorail to the entrance, DisneySea and all of the hotels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16755 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-3.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo Disneyland monorail\" width=\"700\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-3-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-3-564x290.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-3-390x201.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-3-510x262.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>The park is surrounded by a loop monorail line, and there are four stations. You can take the monorail one stop for 260 yen, or the full loop for the same price (1, 2, 3 &amp; 4-day passes are also available).<\/p>\n<p>Go to the Resort Gateway station for Ikispiari and the Disney Ambassador Hotel. For the entrance to the park and the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel (my favourite), head to Tokyo Disneyland Station.<\/p>\n<p>The other hotels are at Bayside station. Funnily enough, Tokyo DisneySea Station has the entrance for Tokyo DisneySea, a separate park with a separate entrance fee like California Adventure. One of the biggest differences is, unlike Tokyo Disneyland, you can drink alcohol. It\u2019s designed more for grown-ups, obviously not me (haha!). No, but I do really like DisneySea, and could easily write a whole blog about it as well.<\/p>\n<p>But this one is about Disneyland so let\u2019s get back to it, shall we?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16757 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-4.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo Disneyland bus\" width=\"380\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-4.jpg 380w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Free bus service<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To save money, there is also a free shuttle service that all of the Bayside station hotels have. The buses operate from 6.10am to 11.30pm and depart every 5 to 15 minutes. They pick you up in front of your hotel and drop you off at Maihama station.<\/p>\n<p>In front of Maihama station there is a bus terminal. Each bus stop will have a list of the hotels it goes to, so you can use this free bus service to get to your hotel as well.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where to stay \u2013 Disneyland Hotel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16760 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-720x480.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo Disneyland hotel\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-564x376.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-5.jpg 1769w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve stayed at almost all of the hotels around the park, and I have to say that the Disneyland Hotel is by far my favourite. My wife dreamed of staying here since she was a kid, so I took her and our son for our three-year wedding anniversary. It just happens to fall on the same day that Tokyo Disneyland opened &#8211; April 15<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>A bonus of staying here is that you get to enter the park 15 minutes earlier than everyone else. To be honest though, that\u2019s not what makes this place special. Nor is it the character themed rooms, or the fact that it\u2019s the closest hotel to the park. It\u2019s the charm of this place and the way it makes you feel that makes it great. It really does feel like you\u2019re in a dream.<\/p>\n<p>There are two Cinderella castles: one at Tokyo Disneyland and the other at Florida\u2019s Disney World. The Sleeping Beauty castles appear at the original Disneyland in California, the Disneyland Hong Kong, and the one in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s said that Japan chose the Cinderella castle over the Sleeping Beauty castle because Cinderella\u2019s virtues of duty and devoted work ethic resonate more deeply in Japanese culture than Sleeping Beauty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16769 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-720x479.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo Disneyland at night\" width=\"720\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-720x479.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-564x375.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-900x599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-1440x959.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-780x519.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney.jpg 2040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The evening \u2013 Firework show<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16761 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-720x480.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo Disneyland fireworks show\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-564x376.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Tokyo-Disney-6.jpg 1096w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s evening entertainment every night starting from 7.30pm with the electric parade.
