Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama

They took our luggage from Maihama to the Hotel and even handled check-in for us. We were able to stay at the park until 9:00, then return on a dedicated bus and go straight to our Room. They also upgraded us to a larger Room than our Reservation. The Hotel staff were wonderful—almost like an extension of the park experience. There’s a convenience store inside, plus shops selling park goods, so even though we didn’t make it to DisneySea, we could still buy merchandise!In the morning, instead of the Hotel buffet breakfast, we saved money by buying bread from a food truck and eating in our Room—it was delicious and more than enough.

We stayed as a family of four—my wife and I, our 2-year-old daughter, and our 0-year-old son!Since we eat chicken and popcorn at DisneySea and Disneyland, we intentionally chose the No Meals Included plan.And our reliable ally was…the lounge! HahaWhen we wanted a quick snack: the lounge.When we wanted to watch the fireworks at a relaxed pace: the lounge.When we wanted some bread on departure morning: the lounge.…We ended up using the lounge so much that it felt like we were basically “staying in the lounge” as a family!The staff were very kind—they waved to our daughter and son and chatted with us, making it a comfortable place to stay.As soon as we left the Hotel in the car on our way home, my wife and I said, “Next time, it’s this Hotel again!”If you plan to use the lounge, it might be helpful to check in advance what is served at each time of day.
