Hi! My name is Lou and my husband, 3 kids and I will be jetting off to Japan and Tokyo Disney on Dec 3rd! We are so SO excited; Ive been to Disney in LA but this will be the first trip for everyone else (and our first international trip with the kids!). We picked Japan because it was cheaper to fulfill our dream of taking the kids to Disney there than it was to fly across Australia to the west coast to visit family for christmas Ive seen the christmas schedules for Tokyo Disney and DisneySea, Dec 3rd cant come fast enough
Our travel itinerary is pretty loose, having 3 small kids means we have to be flexible depending on their moods. We've done lots of domestic travel with our kids due to my husband's career so Im sure they will do ok.
Dec 3rd to 6th - Disney
Dec 7th to 9th - Tokyo
Dec 10th to 12th - Kyoto
We fly into Narita at 7:30pm and we are staying at Palm & Fountain Terrace Hotel just outside of Disney. We plan to train it into Tokyo to do our exploring. We will be catching the Shinkansen down to Kyoto for our 2 nights stay at Hotel Kanra then back again to connect with an airport train when we fly out.
We are taking backpack luggage as Ive heard that Japanese train stations are known for their epic stairs. I plan on taking most of our spending money in cash as Ive also read that most retailers prefer cash and finding an international atm can be difficult.
Id love it if anyone else, esp those who've travelled there with kids, could give us any advice you think might be helpful. Places that are a must see, places to eat and especially tips for getting the best Disney experience
Thanks!!
