Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay hotel review

I stayed at the Sheraton Tokyo Bay which is in the Tokyo Disney Resort area and a 5 min away monorail ride from the Disney Parks (Disney Sea).  (as seen from Google Maps streetview) TL/DR - I had a bad experience where the room facing the ocean was noisy with wind and they were unable to fix it so it was hard to sleep with two nights of high winds and they only gave me 10,000 points in compensation.  I'd only recommend if:  You are chasing/have Marriott status  It is a better deal than staying at a Disney hotel and you don't care about 15 min early entry (might be a low chance at a deal if you are using points for 5 nights - but cost wise didn't make sense for me).

Tokyo Disneyland

Tokyo Disneyland might be my favorite Disneyland after visiting every Disneyland! Although a lot of the rides of the same as in Anaheim- several things stand out:  Beauty and the Beast ride is amazing (definitely buy Disney Premier Access as soon as entering the park) Food/snack culture  i.e. popcorn buckets, cute and exclusive items 3. It just feels cleaner and more civilized than Anaheim Disneyland  I went to rope drop - waiting at the gates over an hour.  Entered around 8 AM  (What the entrance is like later in the afternoon on a Tuesday: Refreshment Corner Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast - 10/10 and one of the best Disney rides!  Ice Cream break  Small World  Huey, Dewey & Louie's Good Time Cafe  Cinderella Castle  Theme in February is Minnie's Funderland Stitch Encounter - the experience was all in Japanese, and a cast member tried warning us- but we still went to get a break from the warm-ish day and it was still fun! Basically a Japanese turtle talk. Space Mou
