We have been fortunate enough to have visited Tokyo twice during the 3 years we’ve lived here in Japan. We have drove down one time and taken the train down once, driving was by far the preferred method. Our first visit we stayed at the military hotel New Sanno and our 2nd visit we stayed at a Japanese hotel, Palm & Fountain Terrace Hotel, near Disney. The first trip we went to both Tokyo Disney & Disney Sea and the 2nd trip we opted for just Disney Sea. I plan on using this series to elaborate on the trips and provide helpful information to those who plan on going down there from Misawa. Our first trip was taken in April 2007 and our 2nd trip was taken in April 2008.

I actually found your blog by googling the question “how long is the train ride from the New Sanno to Disney?” Do you remember the approximate amount of time? We live in Yokosuka and are going to the New Sanno mid October with family from VA. We are taking a 8,4,2 and 1 year old to Disney and need to factor in napping possibilities. Thanks, Kim E.
We didn’t acutally take the train from New Sanno but our friends did and it took 1 hour. That is also the time the New Sanno staff told us, which is why we decided to drive the 20 mins instead.
We are currently stationed in Korea (Near Busan) but anyway, we are thinking of flying to Tokyo and visiting Tokyo Disney.
Do you have any advice? Also any nice hotels and such?
Does Disney tokyo have military discounts ?
To my knowledge they do not, I did some research for a friend recently and was unable to find any military discount.
