We are booked for a 2020 Japan
ABD but the Tokyo Disney Resort add-on details and pricing have not been released yet. I understand 2019 pricing was steep. I have read some of you have booked the add-on yourselves.
How many days should I add? What hotel is best? Park tickets?
Anything other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
First of all to give you an idea of how much the add-on was... it would have cost my hubby and I an extra 4,300 USD (that was the quote for our Sept 29th-Oct 9 2019 upcoming trip) It included the 2 nights at the
Disneyland Hotel and I believe 11 Fast Passes.
Because I wanted to stay at the Mira Costa we decided to add-on 4 Pre-Trip Days on our own.
So we ended up doing 2 Packages directly with Tokyo Disneyland... (which btw was really frustrating to accomplish, but I am happy to get into that if you have questions) *So the one thing that the ABD Add-on has that I think is an intangible plus... not having to deal with their website or booking on your own... or credit card woes*
This is what we booked
One Many Attraction Package Staying in the Disneyland Hotel Beauty and the Beast Room (for 2 nights)
One Many Shows Package Staying in Mira Costa (Porto side view, for 2 nights)
My idea was... having both packages gives us just about as many Fast Passes as you would get doing the ABD add-on. Plus 2 guanteed shows without worrying about the lottery system.
There's lots of other cool things about the package that we liked. Keep in mind we booked the most expensive room type available in the package and it still came out to being only $300 USD more then the ABD add-on... and this is for double the stay.
It came out to $4,500 USD.
You can certainly book the rooms cheaper without doing a package at all... but you have to wait until 5 months from your check-in date. And again deal with a horrible website. At least with the package being 6 months out we found most of the room options we wanted available.
While I haven't stayed yet... soon yay! I am still 1000% happy with the route I took. I'll have to do a report after staying.
