:
no idea which area to stay in so that I'm not traveling for over an hour there and back! If you mean "within 30 minutes for one way to Tokyo Disney Resort" then your options are very limited, I guess. If you mean "within one hour to Maihama Sta." then there must be plenty of hotels which meet this criterion.
From Maihama Sta. you can either walk or take a train of Disney Resort Line (a loop line by monorail) to get to TDL / TDS.
You will need at least 15 min. for transfer at Tokyo Sta. from a JR line to JR Keiyo Line (lying deep underground). Routes without this transfer include:
A. JR Keiyo Line (train for Tokyo) -- Maihama Sta.
B. Subway Yurakucho Line -- Shin-kiba Sta. -- JR Keiyo Line (train for Tokyo; arr. 5 min.) -- Maihama Sta.
C. Subway Hibiya Line -- Hatchobori Sta. -- JR Keiyo Line (train for Soga; 10 - 15 min.) -- Maihama Sta.
D. Subway Marunouchi Line -- Tokyo Sta. -- JR Keiyo Line (arr. 15 min) -- Maihama Sta.
