I'm trying to plan a trip to TDR for early September, and I have a lot of questions. I'm hoping someone can help me with some of them!
1 I'm planning to stay for 6 nights, 4 at the Hilton Tokyo Bay and 2 at either Miracosta or TDLH. I'm thinking I'll do the Hilton the first 4 and then wind up at the Disney hotel for the last 2. The costs should be a lot lower for the Disney hotels after the weekend and availability better. Do you see any reason why I should do the Disney hotel first, as far as anything it could help me get, such as tickets or other reservations, that it wouldn't help as much with later in the week? I'm assuming that the things that it helps with are only good for when I'm actually staying there and wouldn't carry over to later in the week, correct?
2. I'm planning to go for 5 park days (I would only do 4 on M-Th but Journey to the Center of the Earth is going down on M, so I have to go a day earlier and go to TDS on Su if I want to ride it). So I guess I'll have to get a 4 day pass and a 1 day pass and have 3 of the days with parks specified, right? Both the Hilton and Disney hotels would offer guaranteed admission, right? So would there be any advantage to buying them at one over another?
3. I'm looking at 3 choices for the Disney hotels: TDLH Grand Park View, TDLH BATB room, or Hotel Miracosta Venice View. Prices aren't terribly different. Pros and cons?
4. Hilton Park view vs. ocean view? I'm thinking I might do a 2 night stay in each! Would that be too much trouble? lol
5. When I switch between the hotels, will they help with the luggage at all? I figure they would between actual Disney hotels, but maybe not the Hilton.
6. I'm looking at the Hilton and it's really odd. The rate for Saturday is, say, 26,600 yen, then Sunday is about 20,000 yen, but then if I want to book them together they're about 31,000 yen each night? I'm so confused. I emailed the hotel to ask them, but I don't know if I'll be able to get it fixed. I mean, that's considerable, especially for 4 nights! If I were to book on Expedia instead, can you think of any problems I might have? For a Disney hotel I wouldn't have it in their system and might not be able to do certain things in advance, but I don't know if it would matter as much for the Hilton.
7. Lastly, can either or both of the hotels help with dining reservations? Can anyone help with show reservations?
Thanks!
