What it’s like to stay overnight at Tokyo DisneySea

The Tokyo DisneySea Hotel Miracosta is currently the world’s only hotel inside a Disney theme park. There are twelve international Disney parks and many more official and unofficial hotels. Still, the Miracosta is uniquely positioned inside the ticket gates at Tokyo DisneySea. You’ll pass through a tunnel right under it on your way into the park’s central harbor from the entrance plaza, where the fountain globe, the Aquasphere, acts as a popular photo op.

With Japan’s borders now reopened to individual foreign tourists, here’s what to expect if you’re thinking about booking your own stay on-site at this one-of-a-kind Disney hotel.

A room with a view

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Miracosta as a second honeymoon after spending our first at the world’s oldest hotel in Yamanashi a few years ago. It was a memorable experience that enabled us to sleep overnight in DisneySea, see inside the park after it was closed and even watch a new harbor show rehearsal from our balcony before its public debut.

Securing a balcony room was tricky. One thing worth keeping in mind about the Miracosta is that most of its luxurious, Italian-themed rooms don’t have windows that open all the way. You can crack them open and hear DisneySea’s music and park sounds, but we really wanted the open-air “Porto Paradiso” view. Balcony and terrace rooms, however, aren’t often available through the resort’s English website.

They seem to set aside rooms of that type for Vacation Package holders, so I booked a package. However, it basically meant paying double the same hotel price (once for each person). The Miracosta is spread out, though, with the standard, hotel-only options offering plenty of other rooms with views of its Venice and Tuscany sides.
