Fantasy Chateau — Hotel in Urayasu

The proximity to Fantasy Springs and special entrance is the true reason to stay here. But, the price, difficulty in booking, and lack of amenities may be a major deterrent for some. There’s no pool, spa, room service, gift shop, and no option for day of reservations at any of the eating options as they’re always 100% booked. Even getting a reservation to eat months in advance can be difficult.

There is a convenience store, like the other Disney hotels have, that carries many items at a reasonable price. You can find food, drinks, snacks, ponchos, umbrellas, candy, personal/health items, and a very small selection of gift items. Normally there is also a gift shop with items only available at that hotel, plus items only available to purchase by guests staying in that hotel. But, for some reason they’ve forgone a gift shop entirely. There IS a gift shop physically in the hotel, but it is only accessible from within Disney Sea, and is the only gift shop for Fantasy Springs. I find this to be a very odd choice and was bummed there was nothing special to purchase as a guest of the hotel.

I can’t speak for the lounge, as I was unable to get reservations for it, despite practically living on the website. It was very pretty though and had a lovely view of the fountain area of Fantasy Springs.

The restaurant is down two flights from the lobby. There is an elevation if you go past bell services on the right, before the hall to the guest rooms. We wound up having 2 breakfasts, a lunch, and a dinner in the buffet over the duration of our stay and and enjoyed ourselves each time. Breakfast has a variety of western and Japanese foods and is more casual than lunch or dinner. At breakfast someone comes around with tiny shot glasses of smoothies. The smoothie seems to change daily.

I didn’t see a major difference in items served between lunch and dinner other than a carving station being offered in the evening. That may have been there at lunch and I just didn’t observe it though.

We were seated fairly quickly each time by friendly attendants. There are quite a few different rooms you can be sat in, most with views of the fountain area of the park. The rooms at the end have a good view of a waterfall.

There is an entrance to the restaurant from the restaurant park, close to the Frozen section of Fantasy Springs. You will have to show proof of reservations and a park pass to be allowed in. There is a security check before entering the restaurant and you’re able to go back to the park the same way if you so choose after your meal. You cannot use this entrance unless you’ve just dined at the restaurant though.

Entrance to Fantasy Springs from the hotel requires you to exit the front of the hotel, make a left, and either go down a large flight of stairs, or use an elevator. Both of which are outside of the hotel. You make a further left and reach the entrance security, and the ticketing gate is beyond that under the hotel. I was honestly expecting to be able to be able to exit the back of the hotel, where Fantasy Springs is, and enter the park that way. It’s a bit counterintuitive and an odd choice.

Expect to show proof of staying at the Fantasy hotel to use this gate and when returning expect to give your reservation information so you will be let back up the stairs/elevator.

The bayside monorail station is adjacent to the special Fantasy park entrance, so this is also the way you will take to get to Disneyland, and many of the other resorts.

We stayed in a Rose Court Alcove room our first night that had a partial view of the park. I’ve heard these rooms can have zero view or the park, or even zero view all together due to tree blocking the windows. Our second and third night we were in a Bay Area Side Alcove Room with a view of the parking lot, adjacent hotels, monorail, and some of the Tokyo skyline. Despite the rooms being identical in style, our bay side room was actually a few feet wider, and slightly different layout in location of our closet, vanity, alcove bed, and tv. The room was also closer to...

An absolutely stunning hotel. I wish there was an exact version of this hotel in Disney World because it is the most beautiful building, whimsical and wonderfully themed and still high class in feeling with beautiful Disney touches like the Tangled wall paintings. You feel the Disney magic in the most fantastical way. The breakfast at the restaurant was also diverse and delicious each morning (we got reservations when booking a vacation package, and I know it can be pretty difficult to get these reservations), the staff were so sweet and helpful and amazing, it has its own entrance into Tokyo DisneySea, and there’s a convenience store inside as well. Plus, you get a lot of free little things (though admittedly this was true for a lot of our hotels in Japan) like free toothbrushes and sets of pajamas to wear (sizing can be restrictive if you’re an XL or larger unfortunately) and even free souvenir mugs, which were small and plastic but great gifts for my nieces when I got home. You’re also able to leave your luggage there before check in if you’re headed for the parks and leave your luggage after check out if needed for even more park exploration. My first critique would be that the beds are SMALL (width-wise) compared to American hotel beds. You can maybe fit a parent and small child per bed, but if you’re traveling with your adult friends, it is one bed per person pretty much. You won’t find two queens or even 2 full-size beds in the standard rooms. I don’t know about the suites. The alcove bed in our room fit me comfortably, an adult who is 5’ 6” and on the heavier side, which was great. But looking at the two main beds for the two other adults I was traveling with, I was confused how families with more than one child were supposed to stay here. Though admittedly every other Japanese hotel we stayed at across the country had the same issue. My second and final critique would be that, like the other Tokyo Disney resorts, the Disney line is not free with your stay and the early entry to the parks you sometimes get is only 15 minutes (and rides aren’t open during that time from my understanding). This hotel doesn’t have a pool, though I don’t typically go swimming during a theme park vacation, so I personally won’t hold that against the hotel. That said, this is still my absolute favorite hotel I’ve ever been in. It’s a pricey hotel stay, but worth it once if you’re financially comfortable with that - like if this is your only visit to Tokyo Disney Resort ever. Staying here was certainly a bucket list...

I bought the vacation package for two days. The hotel service is the worst experience during entire my vacation. The staff is not well trained and they did not speak English. They can’t answer our questions about the vacation package. The check-in experience was also bad, they didn’t speak English, but they didn’t give you the paper instructions, and they did not write down the wifi password. The hotel rules are bad, especially since they didn’t let you enter the hotel ( entrance to the hotel from the FS park )when you check out during the cold weather with a one-year-old baby. The hotel gifts are very cheap. It’s not worth the name of the ” luxury “ hotel. Overall, the service of FS is “NOT” the normal Japanese culture. The real Japanese culture is very detailed and high...
