Tokyo Disney Resort is very popular with Japanese and foreign visitors alike. It is a magical area that attracts small children, teenagers, and even adults.
Hotel MiraCosta, Disneyland Hotel, Ambassador Hotel, and Celebration Hotel, all located in the area, are famous for their difficulty in making reservations. The Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel, which opened in April 2022, is especially popular. It continues to be difficult to make reservations for some room types. Reservations are especially difficult when the desired date of stay is a Saturday, the day before a holiday, or during consecutive holidays.
On this page, I have compiled a list of tips for making room reservations at the Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel. I have actually succeeded many times in booking highly challenging rooms (Square View) using this method. This know-how can be applied not only to the Toy Story Hotel, but also to Hotel MiraCosta, Disneyland Hotel, Ambassador Hotel, and Celebration Hotel.
We hope it will be of some help to you in increasing the success rate of your hotel reservations at the Tokyo Disney Resort.
Reservation tips for hotels in Tokyo Disney Resort’s Toy Story Hotel
Tip 1
Reservations start at 11:00 a.m., but if you access the site just before 11:00:00 a.m., the rooms are often already full. On the other hand, if you access too early, you will be penalized and forced to re-login.
It is best to access at 10:58:75~10:59:50 Japan time three months prior to your desired date of stay.
Tip 2
Please follow the shortest procedure after accessing the site. On the Disney hotel reservation website, there are two selection routes: “Date, by Price” and “Search by hotels. If you select “Search by hotels”, there is a time lag before available rooms are displayed.
The shortest route is “Date, by Price”. Please select “Date, by Price” and enter the dates, number of people, hotel, and other criteria.

If you complete the steps up to ④ before 11:00 on the day, bookmark the URL of that page, and access from 10:58:75 to 10:59:50 Japan time, you will reach the vacant room display of ⑤ at the fastest. However, depending on the browser environment, errors or re-entry may be required, so please check in advance.

A room that was once full may be revived. Please do not give up and access.

If you cannot make a reservation on the official website, please visit the JTB reservation site. I often hear about successful reservations with JTB. (It seems that reservations on JTB will start a little later than the official website.)
Now, make good preparations to spend your vacation with your family in Japan.
