To maximize park enjoyment right from the morning opening time, an increasing number of travelers choose to stay overnight in the 舞浜・浦安エリア(Maihama/Urayasu Area) on the day prior. Affiliated hotels are broadly divided into three main categories—"Disney Hotels," "Official Hotels," and "Partner Hotels"—each offering distinct characteristics, price points, and guest privileges.

ディズニーホテル（直営） (Disney Hotels - Directly Operated)

These official Disney-owned hotels are situated directly within or adjacent to the resort grounds. Divided into "Deluxe," "Moderate," and "Value" categories, they provide powerful guest perks such as "Happy Entry," which allows guests to enter the theme parks 15 minutes before the general public.

東京ディズニーリゾート・オフィシャルホテル (Tokyo Disney Resort Official Hotels)

This category includes six officially sanctioned hotel properties along the ディズニーリゾートライン(Disney Resort Line) monorail route in the Maihama area (such as the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel and Hilton Tokyo Bay).

• メリット (Benefits): Exceptional proximity to the parks, with convenient access to the monorail or the complimentary "Disney Resort Cruiser" shuttle buses.
• 特典 (Perks): Guests can drop off luggage at the 東京ディズニーリゾート・ウェルカムセンター(Tokyo Disney Resort Welcome Center) located right in front of JR Maihama Station for free baggage delivery directly to their hotel room.

東京ディズニーリゾート・パートナーホテル (Tokyo Disney Resort Partner Hotels)

These four affiliated hotels are situated in the neighboring 新浦安エリア(Shin-Urayasu Area), including Urayasu Brighton Hotel Tokyo Bay and Hotel Emion Tokyo Bay.

• メリット (Benefits): Generally more budget-friendly than Maihama-area hotels, offering spacious family-oriented room layouts.
