Tokyo Disneyland Hotel

The Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is the third Disney-brand hotel of the Tokyo Disney Resort. Also, it is the fourth Disneyland Hotel. It is located directly in front of the Tokyo Disneyland park with the Tokyo Disneyland station of the Disney Resort Line monorail system in between. The hotel was designed to reflect early 20th century Victorian architectural style, and to blend seamlessly with the World Bazaar area of Tokyo Disneyland, the monorail station and the main entrance area. The hotel opened on July 8, 2008, and offers 700 guestrooms along with dining and shopping facilities. Insidents at Tokyo Disneyland Parades : On January 8, 2008, a portion of a parade float collapsed during a presentation of the park's "Disney Dreams On Parade." A steel pillar, estimated to weigh 660 pounds, fell from the Buzz Lightyear float not far from park visitors. No performers or visitors were injured in the collapse. The park canceled its parades for the first time in its history in order to complete safety checks. Space Mountain : On December 5, 2003, a roller coaster train derailed as it was returning to the station. No riders were injured, and the ride was closed pending an investigation. A January 2004 investigation completed by Oriental Land Company, the park's owner/operator, determined that an axle on the train had failed because its diameter was smaller than the specifications for the part required. The attraction re-opened in February 2004, after 17 park officials were reprimanded for the accident.
