We stayed at the Fantasy Springs Hotel in January — the hotel directly connected to the Fantasy Springs area at Tokyo DisneySea!

Our daughter is a huge princess fan and really wanted to enjoy the Fantasy Springs attractions, so we decided to stay the night before our park day.

We weren’t expecting much from the buffet, but it turned out to be surprisingly fancy — almost French-style — and really delicious!

It’s quite a long walk from the main DisneySea entrance to the Fantasy Springs area, so staying at the hotel was definitely the way to go.

TOC

How to Get to Fantasy Springs Hotel

By train: 15 minutes from Tokyo Station. Transfer to the Disney Resort Line at JR Maihama Station. Get off at “Bayside Station” — the hotel is about a 30-second walk from there.

By car: Take the Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route and exit at “Urayasu” or “Kasai.” The hotel has its own parking — Fantasy Chateau guests use the surface lot, while Grand Chateau guests use the underground parking.

By plane: There’s a direct bus from Haneda Airport to Fantasy Springs Hotel (about 60 minutes).

We drove there and were asked to confirm our reservation at the entrance before being guided to the parking area. That said, Bayside Station is really close, so taking the train would be convenient too.

Check-In

We arrived just before 15:00, but our room wasn’t ready yet, so we waited in the lobby. The Disney Resort App acts as your room key — once you get a notification on the app, you can go to your room.

We did struggle a little with unlocking the door via the app (Bluetooth wasn’t set up properly), but we got in eventually!

Our Stay in a Fantasy Chateau Room

We stayed in a Fantasy Chateau room! We’d been checking availability in spare moments, and luckily a room opened up at just the right time.

Apparently there are accounts on X (Twitter) that post Fantasy Springs Hotel availability updates. My husband followed one and set up notifications — the moment a room opened up on one of our target dates, he booked it instantly.

Our view was the parking lot, so the scenery wasn’t the best… but honestly, just getting a room at all felt like a win!

The room had a sofa, two beds, a table, a dresser — plenty of space for bags and belongings.

Rapunzel Art in the Room!

The room decor was themed around Fantasy Springs, and we were delighted to find Rapunzel illustrations on the wall and even on the closet doors — so adorable!

I wonder if the artwork varies depending on which room you’re assigned to…?

Fantasy Springs-Themed Amenities

The cups and toothbrushes featured Mickey and Minnie in special Fantasy Springs designs.

At Hotel MiraCosta, the theme color is a deep green — here at Fantasy Springs, it’s pink.

Beyond toothbrushes and cups, the amenities included lavender bath salts, an Astalift skincare set, and fatigue-relief foot patches. Really well stocked!

Bathroom with Washing Area and Separate Toilet

The bathroom has a separate washing area with a stool and basin — a real plus for families with kids.

The bathtub is spacious and the water pressure is great.

Kids’ Amenities

For kids, there are slippers, a toothbrush, and terry cloth pajamas.

Adults get two-piece pajamas too, which is always nice!

Check Out Right from the TV

You can complete checkout right on the TV screen — but what really surprised us was that you can also schedule a luggage pickup from your room!

You choose a time slot, and a staff member comes to collect your bags and holds them for you. Check-out was at 12:00, but if you’re out enjoying the park, it’s hard to come back just to grab your luggage — so this service is incredibly handy.

They also offer luggage transfer between official Disney hotels! If you’re hotel-hopping, you can move to your next hotel luggage-free after a day at the park. So convenient.

We didn’t end up using this service since we drove — we just popped back to the room for a rest before check-out, loaded the car, and headed back to the park. But I’d love to try it next time!

The On-Site Convenience Store: Joyful Springs

Inside Fantasy Springs Hotel, there’s a convenience store called “Joyful Springs” (run by Yamazaki, it seems).

Since we visited in January, they had knit hats, gloves, and neck warmers for sale — including kids’ sizes! We bought a pair of gloves, and since they were plain, they were only 500 yen. Very reasonable.

In winter, you really need warm gear for Happy Entry lines and park wait times, so it’s great to know you can pick things up if you forget them.

They also carry Disney character goods — princess and Mickey bath bombs, tablet cases, hand cream, bandages — plus rain gear and umbrellas for unexpected showers.

And just like a regular convenience store, they have cup noodles, snacks, sandwiches, onigiri, and bread — no shortage of food options!

What personally surprised me was finding JAL’s in-flight cup noodle “Deskai” on the shelf! It’s small, so it’s perfect for a late-night snack.

One thing to note: you can’t buy Fantasy Springs merchandise unless you’ve entered the park — there’s no shop in the hotel for those items.

Beauty and the Beast Statue

If you head out from the Fantasy Springs lobby toward the back garden area, you’ll find a beautiful Beauty and the Beast statue. This area is only accessible to hotel guests, so definitely check it out!

There are also Mickey and Minnie statues near the hotel entrance by the car drop-off area.

Dinner Buffet: So Many Dishes and Surprisingly Upscale

Time for dinner! We miraculously managed to get an 18:00 reservation through the app.

We noticed quite a few kids dressed up in princess outfits — so adorable!

The restaurant interior is gorgeous. It’s divided into different princess-themed areas — Rapunzel, Aurora, and I think 3-4 sections total. We were seated in the Rapunzel area.

There were Rapunzel paintings and scenes of lanterns floating around Corona Kingdom — absolutely beautiful!

As for the buffet — we honestly weren’t expecting much, but it blew us away! Roast beef, seafood terrine, and so many other dishes. The variety and quality were impressive… it was genuinely delicious!

Our daughter had tomato sauce penne (sorry if the menu name was slightly different!), chocolate danish, and something like meatballs.

The dessert corner had slices of whole cakes and a great selection — we were so excited!

By the way, they did have rice, but no Japanese dishes — it was all Western cuisine. There were also large tables that seated 5-6 people, which seemed great for group stays.

Breakfast Buffet Was Equally Impressive

For breakfast, we miraculously snagged the first slot at 6:30 AM (if I remember correctly).

Since we had the opening time reservation, there was a small ceremony before the restaurant doors opened — guests were welcomed in one group at a time.

Our breakfast seating was in the Aurora area. Personally, I thought the Rapunzel area was cuter!

Breakfast included Japanese options too. The seafood chirashi sushi was delicious!

Our daughter found the same tomato sauce penne from dinner and ordered it again for breakfast too! And among the pastries, there was a Corona Kingdom-themed custard danish inspired by Rapunzel — so cute that I just had to grab one.

Souvenir Medal Making

Just to the right of the restaurant, there’s a medal-making corner! There are 3 machines — one has 3 Fantasy Springs-exclusive designs to choose from, and the other two let you engrave custom text (alphabet) onto a medal.

You can also add numbers and symbols, so it makes a great keepsake!

Happy Entry the Next Morning

Since we stayed the night before, we got to use Happy Entry — here’s how it went.

We headed to the Happy Entry line after breakfast. We got there around 7:30, and the queue was already about 100 meters long. We made it through security around 8:30.

Then we waited for the 8:45 opening. A few minutes before 8:45, Mickey, Minnie, and several princesses came out to greet everyone!

Anna and Elsa were there too, but they disappeared once the gates opened.

The moment the gates opened, everyone speed-walked straight to Frozen Journey. Almost every guest was heading that way…

Speed-walking while trying to grab DPA (Disney Premier Access), standby passes, and enter show lotteries on the app all at the same time… Disney these days is really hectic!

Being able to ride attractions with almost no wait was such a huge advantage. Frozen Journey’s DPA tends to sell out within hours of park opening — before you know it, it’s gone.

After Frozen Journey, we were able to ride Peter Pan and Rapunzel’s attractions with short waits too. If you really want to enjoy the Fantasy Springs area, this hotel is absolutely the way to go!

For lunch, we went to Arendelle Royal Banquet. We’d been there a couple of years ago but couldn’t get a table because it was so busy — so this time we booked early via mobile order. It was around 10:30 and there were still some seats available.

Especially with kids, waiting around isn’t really an option — so booking early is definitely recommended.

Final Thoughts

Our stay at Fantasy Springs Hotel was absolutely wonderful — the food, the room, the service — we were completely satisfied! It’s still super hard to get a reservation, but if you’re looking to fully enjoy the Fantasy Springs area, we highly recommend it!
