As if I don't already throw enough money down on Disney merchandises. 45,000y is what you pay to stay at Conrad, or a ryokan room with private rotenburo and kaiseki meals included. 60,000y?! I've read some reviews on Mira Costa, and quite a few people are talking about rooms being dated. I get that you're paying for the experience, perhaps convenience, and to please your kids, but still.
Which would you take? Hilton Tokyo Bay for 27k including free breakf and a likely upgrade -vs- Mira Costa for 45k. To me, it's simply a no brainer (Hilton), but of course we haven't stayed at Mira Costa.
This is similar to Hilton Hawaiian Village vs Aulani, which comes up every year in our family. So far, I've been able to stand my ground and hold off Aulani.
