Using Points in Tokyo

[TinkFan74]

I was supposed to go to TDL last summer but ended up needing surgery so I couldn't go, so now I am planning to go this upcoming September. I will have expiring DVC points that I want to use for a TDL hotel and I have a few questions. If you use DVC points for a room do you get the same benefits as booking a hotel package? I will only have enough points for two nights at the Celebration Hotel, is this hotel too remote to make it worth the effort?
Thanks

I will be back there in September as well - you will never look at WDW the same way again

When do your points expire and are they banked? Honestly, the value of using points is so poor you'd be better off renting them and using that cash to book a TDL hotel directly. Even if your points are expiring fairly soon and you can only rent them for $8-10 it's still better. I would reach out to David's and see what they think they can get you.

Also- I would never stay offsite at WDW, or even DL really, but it's different at TDL. There are a couple of non-Disney hotels that are right on the monorail loop. Check out the Sheraton Tokyo Bay- recently renovated, on the monorail and just as close as the Disneyland Hotel to the parks. It's 50% or less the cost of Disneyland Hotel. The other TDL hotels (ambassador, etc) honestly aren't worth it- they're basically "off property". It's better to be on the monorail loop.
