If you’re arriving at Narita Airport and planning a Disney visit, choosing the right transfer can make your first day in Japan much smoother.
While Narita feels far from the city, Tokyo Disney Resort is closer than many first-time visitors expect—if you know the geography.

Looking for a Cheaper Alternative to a Private Transfer?

If a private transfer feels too expensive, a shared shuttle transfer “Near Me” is a great middle-ground option.

Shared shuttles group travelers heading to the same destination around the same time, such as Tokyo Disney Resort, and transport everyone together in a large van.
Because the ride is shared, prices are significantly lower than a private transfer, while still allowing space for large luggage.

The key difference between a shared shuttle and an airport limousine bus is convenience:
shared shuttles usually drop you off directly in front of your hotel, while limousine buses stop at designated hotels or areas, meaning you may need to walk the final stretch.

Summary: Which Option Should You Choose?

  • Lowest cost → Train
  • Easiest, no stress → Airport Limousine Bus
  • Fastest, door-to-door → Taxi
  • Maximum comfort & peace of mind → Private Airport Transfer

There’s no single “right” answer. The best option depends on your budget, schedule, luggage, and travel style.

Choose the transfer that fits your trip, and start your Disney day relaxed and well-prepared.

One Last Important Tip

One last but very important reminder:
If you haven’t completed your Tokyo Disney Resort reservation, be sure to purchase your park tickets in advance.
Same-day tickets may be unavailable or sold out, especially during busy seasons.

Plan ahead, choose the transfer that works best for you, and enjoy every magical moment from the second you arrive.
