We did the package on our own, at the Miracosta, for less-- the hotel is top notch, so that is a great change! The off site location is a couple of stops away on the monorail, but pretty efficient. Given the lower price and better hotel, it is a tougher decision. But either way, DisneySea is fantastic and you'll love it!
We were there in April--and it wasn't too crowded. Disney dropped us off at Miracosta after dropping the others at the Disneyland Hotel, and neither stop was in time for early entry that day. We got off, checked in to Miracosta, left our bags with concierge and probably spent a total of 20 minutes there and back (and no one at the pickup line). Well worth the money we saved.Yes, the convenience of having the package waiting for you at the hotel is definitely worth something. Do you recall, did the "on your own" package pickup at the other location take 20 minutes or more like 90 minutes out your Miracosta arrival day? I hope that makes sense.
It looks like the difference would be over $1000 per room if I book the package myself. I would attempt to book the package on Tokyo DIsney website if I knew the extra step of package pickup wouldn't cut into that first day too much.
You don't get early entry at Tokyo Disney Resort for your checkin day. So it really doesn't matter if you made it there in time for it or not.We were there in April--and it wasn't too crowded.

Sad to report that the bfast at Miracosta was just meh.I think this is a great improvement. I would have much preferred the MiraCosta. The package was a rip off, but I'd do it again for the ease and the FPs, which were great. I disliked the DH hotel breakfast so I'd hope the Miracosta would be an improvement on that as well.
I concur. We thought that the location of the Miracosta was the very best thing about the hotel.Sad to report that the bfast at Miracosta was just meh.
We did that-- you can cancel up the final payment is due (caveat: this might have changed). We were able to book on our own, loved Miracosta, and had fastpasses to spare under the hotel package-- but we did book the add-on just in case, and then cancelled as soon as we were able to book through the hotel.I concur.

I successfully booked a 2 night package at the Miracosta for this August but the experience was painful, even after multiple practice bookings using guidance from these boards. We were traveling to Tokyo directly from the China ABD, so the add-on package was not an option. We received 2 A and 6 D fastpasses vs. the 3 A and 12 D provided with the add-on. Although we took advantage of the Happy 15 and were able to get some fastpasses at the kiosks, the additional fastpasses provided with the add-on would have been very handy. The Japanese park-goers had an advantage because they were able to book same-day fastpasses on the Tokyo Disney Resort official app, which was only available in Japanese. We were there shortly after Soaring: Fantastic Flight opened and the wait was up to 6 hours at points. I suspect the new Beauty and the Beast attraction will be very popular as well.
Can you book the add-on, see if you are able to book a package at 6 months, and if so, cancel the add-on prior to the final payment date without penalty?
That’s a bummerSad to report that the bfast at Miracosta was just meh.

I'm almost 100% sure our package was only good for breakfast so that would be a nice change. Breakfast at the Disneyland Hotel was easily the worst of the entire trip. They didn't even have cereal the second morningThanks for the info on the breakfast. The package says the meal voucher is good for one meal per day at many dining locations in Tokyo Disney Resort or at Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta. I wonder if a different dining location would be better use of the voucher.
Yes, our package included breakfast only. A "one meal daily" voucher sounds much better.I'm almost 100% sure our package was only good for breakfast so that would be a nice change.
