The most pleasant, and likely fastest, way to get to Disney via public transit from the GH is to take the Hibiya line from Roppongi to Ebisu and then take the relatively new JR Rinkai line that runs about every 20 minutes from Ebisu to Shin-Kiba. There you can switch to the Keiyo line that goes to Maihama without having to walk a mile to transfer like you have to at Tokyo station. This is a bit more pricey as the Rinkai line adds about an extra Y250 per person for the segment up the middle of O-Daiba.
We will still have time left on our Japan Rail Pass so that should cover the cost of the Rinkai and Keiyo lines corrrect? SO our only cost would be the Roppongi to Ebisu trip on the subway. But we won't be able to do any of this with a weeks luggage with us will we??? Taxi to Tokyo station and straight shot to Maihama would probably be better, no? I want to save Yen but I don't want the hassle for the family if it can be avoided for a small price. Anyone know if there is a bus service from the area that would take us door to door (Hyatt to Disney)? I know that there are some of these buses, but don't knwo if any are near the GH.
