I have to go to Japan for work, and my schedule is not changeable, but I can do two half days in Tokyo. {I have done all the typical tourist stuff in Tokyo, I do not want to do that this time} As I have been to the US parks many times, TDSea seems more unique, so that is my first target.
I am planning to fly into NRT and do not have to be to meetings until the next afternoon, so I am hoping to take the bus to TDR hit DisneySea, and spend the night there before catching a shinkansen in the morning. I can get the TDSea after 3pm ticket (sports day is a holiday ticket price!), and use this as an opportunity to stay awake and adjust to the time shift- this is way better than taking a train to sleep closer to my company. Q1- does anyone think I can find a locker to put my suitcase in at the park if I go direct from the airport or am I better off taking the bus to the Sheraton to drop my bag and then get to a park as soon as I can? Q2- as I will arrive after 3pm, do I bother trying to get any FP or just assume they will be gone? I definitely want to do Soarin & Sinbads. Journey to the center of the earth is closed. I'm not a bit coaster person so I am not sure Raging Spirits is a good idea. Indiana Jones, 20,000 Leagues, and TSM seems similar to the rides in the US parks so I can skip it. Also, I cannot do ToT in Orlando or CA, so I will skip that. Q3- other than taking it in, is there anything else I should not miss on a Monday night while very jet lagged?
I have to be all over Japan for the rest of the week, but could squeeze in returning to Tokyo Saturday night and going on Sunday to seeing the land before my flight at 5pm. Q4- what can I expect to get with the extra 15 minutes on a Sunday morning? Q5- Does it seem possible to do Pooh's Honey Hunt, IASW (my favorite ride), get a castle picture & Monsters before noon? I will be at WDW again this year, so I do not need to do the rides that are the same (BTM, HM, Splash, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, dumbo, peter pan). If I can get all of it in, perhaps I do not need to spend the extra $100 the Ambassador to get 15 minutes? Not that the Sheraton is cheap that night...
I am more excited for planning this than the meetings I have to attend between the two days!
