Ok, this is a few weeks later but thought I'd share my experience going back to TDR, on one of their vacation packages, for those who might be curious.
First, I tried to book the package on the Japanese website, only because I would've gotten morebenefits (a universal fast pass to be used for ANY ride, at any time for instance). I tried using google translator, but I was very unsuccessful trying toconvert my name into Japanese characters (of all things that's what kept me from finishing thebooking). I then went on the American website. Booking on there was only slightly difficult as they would only take one of my CCs, after trying over and over to use several other ones.
We'd already stayed at Miracosta, DL, and Ambassador hotels on previous trips. So, weended up choosing to stay at Disney's Celebration Hotel, one of their value hotels. We've seen videos, and read reviews about it online, and theywere all great.
When we arrived at the resort, we were asked to go to the Reservation Center, right by MaihamaStation, to pick up our resort packet thatcontained our room keys, fast passes, and vouchers for a free goodies. Once there, we were asked which resort we were staying at specifically.Celebration Hotel guests are to go to a separate Reservation Center, across from the main one, onthe lower level of Ikspiari. We were there shortly before the opened (around 8am or so) so oncethey let us in, the process didn't take very long.All we had to do was show an email containing our reservation number, and our passports.
Since we had our luggage with us we decided to put them in storage lockers right by the TDL monorail station so we could visit TDL right thenand there. We didn't get Happy 15 access ,as you only get it for the following morning(s) of your stay.
The vouchers we got back at the Reservation Center were to be redeemed at any of severallocations inside the park. So we chose to go to the Monsters Inc gift shop in Tomorrowland. We wereeach given a fast pass holder, a goodie drawstringbag with a TDR vacation package towel, 5 fastpasses, 2 passes for either One Man's Dream II, orBig Band Beat, a popcorn bucket in the shape of a suitcase, a popcorn voucher of any flavor of ourchoosing, and a voucher for UNLIMITED DRINKS(!!) during our stay at any of the parks. That in itself was worth splurging on a vacationpackage. We will definitely be doing that from now on.
Below are the links to all the pics I took. Hopefullyyou'll like them. Let me know if you have any questions.
