A Disney trip is largely decided by which area you book your hotel in. First get a feel for the city from the map, then learn how to reach the parks, and finally check "how you'll get around if you stay in that area" — in that order.

① First, get a feel for the city

Urayasu access map: Urayasu Station on the Tozai Line; Maihama and Shin-Urayasu Stations on the JR Keiyo Line; Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea; the three hotel areas (Resort / Bayside / Riverside) with hotel counts; out-of-city stations (Kasai, Myoden, Kasai-Rinkai-Koen, Ichikawa-Shiohama); and local bus and airport limousine routes.
Tokyo Metro Tozai Line JR Keiyo Line Disney Resort Line Local & Osampo bus Limousine bus & taxi Outside the city (Tokyo / Ichikawa)
Positions are approximate. The Disney Resort Line is a 4-station loop monorail (the 2 park stations are omitted). From Urayasu Station and Motomachi you can reach the Maihama and Shin-Urayasu areas by local bus (dashed). The local bus from Shin-Urayasu Station runs via Sports Park and OLC Head Office to Maihama Station (it does not pass through Shinmachi). Airport limousine buses also serve Kasai Station (outside the city).

② From the airports and Tokyo Station to the parks

How to move on a day you head straight to the parks. If you arrive by rail, you can also check "the last leg from Maihama Station" here.
Want to send your bags ahead? Suitcases can be delivered to your hotel the same day from the airport or Tokyo Station. Cut-off times are early — between 9:50 and 14:00 — so check Sending luggage from Haneda or Narita to your Maihama / Urayasu hotel first.
First, check: where do you land? It changes by terminal
Haneda T1 / T2 (domestic) — direct limousine bus (adult ¥1,300) or Keikyu + Keiyo Line with transfers. Same-day luggage delivery closes at 13:00
Haneda T3 (international) — the direct limousine bus is your best bet. Same-day luggage delivery: Yamato Transport only, closes at 11:00
Narita T1 / T2 — direct limousine bus (adult ¥2,900) or rail with transfers. Luggage delivery closes at 14:00
Narita T3 (LCC) — limousine buses stop at Terminal 3 too. There is no rail station at T3: walk about 15 minutes to Terminal 2's station (free shuttle available). Same-day luggage delivery closes at 9:50 — only realistic on early arrivals
Tokyo Station (shinkansen) — JR Keiyo Line to Maihama, about 20 minutes. Allow 10+ minutes to walk to the Keiyo platform. Luggage delivery closes at 13:00

③ Your area choice shapes the whole trip

The map's three colors are the three hotel areas. For each, here's how you move on "arrival day" and on "daily park trips."
Staying in the Resort area (Maihama · Chidori) Parks first
e.g. MiraCosta / Hilton Tokyo Bay / Maihama Eurasia — 17 hotels
Arrival day (Airport / Tokyo Sta. → Hotel)
Haneda Airport Limousine busapprox. 35–60 min · no transfer Straight to your hotel
From Tokyo Station: JR Keiyo Line approx. 20 min → Maihama Sta. → walk / hotel shuttle　/　Limousine bus also runs from Narita (approx. 60–90 min)
Hotels in the Chidori area (e.g. Maihama Eurasia) have no direct airport limousine bus. Take the limousine bus to a park, then move by shuttle bus, on foot, or by taxi (or take the JR to Maihama Station).
Daily park trips (each morning & evening)
Hotel Walk / Resort Line / shuttle busapprox. 5–15 min Parks
Check each hotel's website for shuttle bus times and availability.
Good for: rope-drop at opening / minimizing travel with kids / aiming for Happy Entry
Staying in the Bayside area (Shin-Urayasu Sta. front · Shinmachi) Space & value
e.g. Oriental Hotel (station-connected) / Hotel Emion Tokyo Bay / Hyatt Regency — 16 hotels
Arrival day (Airport / Tokyo Sta. → Hotel)
Haneda Airport Limousine busapprox. 35–60 min Shin-Urayasu Sta. / some hotels Shuttle / local bus / taxiapprox. 5–15 min Hotel
Some Shinmachi hotels have a direct airport limousine bus — and there is also a direct limousine route between Narita Airport and Shin-Urayasu Station (check the official timetable) (e.g. Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay). From Shin-Urayasu Sta., options include shuttle bus, taxi, and local bus.
From Tokyo Station: JR Keiyo Line approx. 20 min → Shin-Urayasu Sta. Station-connected hotels keep you dry.
Check each hotel's website for shuttle bus times and availability.
Daily park trips (each morning & evening)
Hotel Shuttle busapprox. 15–25 min Parks
Local tip: take a local or Osampo bus, get off at "Sports Park" or "OLC Head Office," then walk toward DisneySea (check service times).
Good for: relaxed multi-night stays / larger rooms for groups & families / days you don't visit the parks
Staying in the Riverside area (around Urayasu Sta. · Motomachi) Lowest prices · old-town
e.g. BAYHOTEL Urayasu Ekimae / Urayasu Sun Hotel / Henn na Hotel Maihama — 7 hotels
Arrival day (Tokyo Sta. / central Tokyo → Hotel)
Otemachi / Nihombashi Tokyo Metro Tozai Lineapprox. 17–20 min Urayasu Sta. Walk, or bus / taxiStation area 1–5 min walk / Motomachi ~30 min walk Hotel
From Tokyo Station to Urayasu Station: Urayasu Station is on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, which does not stop at Tokyo Station — walk about 8 min to Otemachi, then take the Tozai Line approx. 17 min (about 25–30 min in total). For Shin-Urayasu Station instead, take the JR Keiyo Line directly from Tokyo Station (approx. 20 min).
Hotels in Motomachi are about a 30-min walk from Urayasu Station. Given the distance, a local bus or taxi is recommended. You can also come from Maihama Station by bus or taxi (approx. 5–10 min).
From the airports, about 40–70 min by rail with transfers. Airport limousine buses do not stop at Urayasu Station (the neighboring Kasai Station has them; hotels outside the city such as Kasai and Ichikawa are covered in a separate article).
Daily park trips (each morning & evening)
Hotel Local bus / taxiapprox. 15–25 min Parks
From Urayasu Sta. and Motomachi, local buses reach both the Maihama and Shin-Urayasu areas (dashed routes on the map).
Good for: keeping lodging costs down / old-town izakaya & local food at night / stays combined with central Tokyo
Travel times are rough estimates (excluding transfers and waiting). Before you travel, confirm the latest details on each operator's and hotel's official website. Limousine bus stops and frequencies vary by day.

④ Departure day: from your hotel to the airport

Going home is not simply the reverse — just a few things worth knowing.
Limousine bus — book online for airport-bound rides, since your flight time is fixed. Boarding at TDL, TDS or Shin-Urayasu Station also works without a booking, paying cash when you get off
Send your bags ahead — at the 19 JAL ABC partner hotels, hand your bags to the bell desk by 10:00 and collect them at Haneda in the evening. Spending your last day in the parks? Use Station Delivery to Maihama Station (accepted 7:00–12:30). See sending luggage to the airport and the Maihama Station luggage guide
Taxi — flat-rate airport taxis run from Urayasu to Haneda and Narita. See the taxi guide
Train — weekday-morning Keiyo Line trains coincide with commuter rush. Allow extra time with large suitcases
