The complex of leisures includes/understands:

Hotels

Transport systems

Disney Arises Line

It is the line of Monorail ( Voir Disney Resort Line. )

Disney Arises Cruiser

It is a service of bus to American like those of the Années 1930, entirely chrome, with Mickey on the side. They serve according to two lines the Disney hotels since the station of train of Maihama and Ikpsiari (Road A) and the hotels partners (Road B) from the station of monorail of Bayside.

Carparks

Currently the Tokyo Disney Resort has two systems of carpark without counting that of Ikspiari.
The first carpark is that of origin, open in 1983 between the entry of Tokyo Disneyland and the hotels partners in edge of bay of Tokyo. It is a carpark of surface of more than 8.000 places. It is cut out in 4 sections (Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pinocchio). Since 2001, it was increased towards the south in front of the hotels partners. Surface is almost doubled by it. But the Mickey section of the carpark was partly reduced in order to build the station of the Disney Resort Line.

In February 2005 a construction project on this carpark was announced. It must be in the long term replaced by one (other) structure of several stages; and especially by a hotel of style victorien at the entry of the park behind the station which seems to have to be called Disneyland hotel. It will be rather similar to that of France and that of HongKong.

The second carpark is a structure located at the entry of Tokyo DisneySea. It is about a rather narrow building (approximately 50 m) of more than 1000 m length on 5 stages. A double carpark of surface allows however on the left entry of this structure to accommodate buses. Approximately 300 buses can thus be parked.

The entry from the station of Maihama

The station of Maihama is a station of railroad exploited by the Keisei Electric (associate in OLC, the owner of the complex). It makes it possible to join the center of Tokyo. It is the principal door of access of the complex with the highway exchanger which is joint station (located just behind at north).

Because of the strong frequentation of the station, OLC since 2001 strongly developed this main door of the complex.

While leaving the station, three ways serve the complex. ( a small fourth on other side serves the residential zones neighborhood. )

  • Juste on the right begins a bridge making it possible to join the entry of Tokyo Disneyland, located on the other side of the road skirting the station. It is along this bridge that the shop Bon Voyage was built right before the road. The bridge spans then the zone of deposit-minute of the magic kingdom to land with the foot of the station of monorail of style victorien at the entry of the park. This way makes it possible to the visitors not to cross the street like front.

  • Opposite the station a great zone allows the buses and the private individuals to deposit people at the station. It is also used as station of bus for the complex with the Road has Disney Resort Cruiser.

  • On the left of the station, the commercial complex of Ikspiari opens its doors. But for arriving there it is initially necessary to pass in front of the Welcome Center then under the line of monorail. The entry of the monorail is done on the second level of the commercial complex. Then one arrives in the " Courtyard " and one can leave on our line the cylinder of Camp Nepos.

Welcome Center

It is a building of two stages open during the summer 2001 to the entry of the complex right between the station of monorail train of Maihama and that of of Ikspiari. It is used as information the main thing and reception center for the complex.

The entry is done by a circular house with the walls of glass. Then two " comptoirs" are at the disposal of the visitors in the perpendicular house located behind along the monorail:

  • Information Counter with the upper floor makes it possible to hold tickets and restaurants in the parks. One can even buy the tickets one hour advances some for the very same day without making the tail in front of the parks. The annual passports are bought henceforth here.
  • Hotel Service Counter on the lower floor proposes a counter for each hotel of the complex and the various transport systems.
