I am currently living in Japan again (hooray!) which means lots of Disney trips in the near future. While I've been to the parks several times for the day, I have never stayed on property. (Never saw much of a point when it's just me and the commute is about an hour.)
I have a lot of visitors coming over the next year, and while several are planning Disney day trips with me, my dad has another idea: he'd like to turn our trip into a mini-vacation. We're both huge Disney nuts, and since he doesn't know when he'll have a chance to come to Japan again, he wants to go all-out. The plan is to arrive at Maihama station, drop off our bags at our hotel, spend two days at the parks, then go back to my home on the third day. The real challenge thus is figuring out a hotel.
TL;DR I need suggestions for what makes sense for my dad and I for a two-night getaway to the TDL Resort. We're planning on going on a couple weekdays in early August 2017 (unfortunate dates I know, but he's coming to Japan then so we can also climb Mt. Fuji.) While I'd love to stay in one of the deluxe resorts, the prices are a little terrifying. How do the Official Hotels compare? (Obviously cheaper, but is the cheaper price worth not staying in a full-out Disney hotel?) How is the Celebration Hotel? Or should we just go for it and go for one of the top-hotels to get the full experience?
Thanks for reading, and any help you can give!
