林氏璧孔醫師的日本旅遊情報站230301 東京迪士尼度假區內的5間飯店/6間公認飯店 附近的4間好夥伴飯店 9間好鄰居飯店部落格圖文版 https://linshibi.com/?p=1745 首先要知道和迪士尼相關的飯店有以下四種： 迪士尼飯店（Disney Hotels），在迪士尼度假區內，5間（麗緻型3間，舒適型1間，經濟型的樂祥則位於新浦安） 公認飯店（Tokyo Disney Resort Official Hotels），在迪士尼度假區內，6間 好夥伴飯店（Tokyo Disney Resort Partner Hotels），在迪士尼度假區鄰近一站的新浦安，4間 好鄰居飯店（Tokyo Disney Resort Good Neighbor Hotels），分散在東京各處，9間 文章中我有用樂天網站查出價錢和評價分數，供大家參考。 https://reurl.cc/EGZNQ1 因為更新迪士尼旅館的文章，我再度向強者我同學：迪士尼專家請教，特別是她才剛剛住了玩具總動員飯店回來！以下是她的心得： 迪士尼飯店（Disney Hotels），3間麗緻型和1間舒適型在迪士尼度假區內，1間經濟型在新浦安。 有三間較貴的在園區內，稱為所謂的麗緻型非常貴，我都沒住過！但是如果問我最想住哪一家，我的答案是東京迪士尼海洋觀海景大飯店 (Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta)，因為這家就在sea旁，可以直接看到sea的火山及那個湖的一些秀。另外兩家一家是迪士尼大使飯店一家是迪士尼樂園飯店，這個和香港的迪士尼Hollywood hotel 及 Disneyland hotel外觀造型相似，雖然我香港的兩家都住過了，但還是希望有朝一日可以去住住看迪士尼樂園飯店的面樂園景觀房。 這次住了新的被廸士尼歸類為舒適型的玩具總動員飯店，覺得這間CP值滿高的，它位於迪士尼度假區線單軌列車的「海濱站」，一樣享有迪士尼樂園開園提前15分鐘進入的「歡樂入園」，然後這次訂兩人房不含早餐每晚房價26500円，和週邊一樣在海濱站的6間度假區公認飯店價格並不會差距太大，而且是去年開幕的最新飯店！ 飯店內有很多專屬於玩具總動員的造景及裝飾，也有迪士尼限定商品的專賣店，而且飯店區域只允許住客進入，外人是無法一窺究竟的！所以沒住過的話很值得去住一次，但是這間飯店很熱門，需要註冊迪士尼帳號，然後搶在3個月前開賣日搶訂。 歡迎追蹤林氏璧孔醫師的發聲管道，了解最新的日本旅遊和疫情訊息！ 我的電子名片 https://lit.link/linshibi 日本優惠券大平台和近期活動資訊 https://linshibi.com/?p=20443 歡迎贊助04b喝咖啡 https://open.firstory.me/join/linshibi2023-02-2824 min
