Hey everyone.
I'm not looking for advice, though open to feedback if you have some...more just sharing what I planned.
I'm a long-time lurker on this subreddit. I made a trip to DisneySea last fall and had planned to visit Disneyland as well, but got sick, so cut it short.
I've been living in Japan now for over a year and have the ULTIMATE RE-DO trip planned. I would love feedback. Because I live in Japan, I was able to book on the Japanese site, which included some extras with the packages. Though it was interesting figuring out how to write my name in hiragana -- rather that katakana (as is the norm for non-Japanese names). Anyone else do this?? What was your experience?
My 23 year-old son will be visiting for a few weeks this summer, so it's the only time I can go with him. His first Disney trip was to WDW when he was just one year old. He's my ultimate Disney buddy! Though I haven't gone with him in many years. When he was barely four - we went to Disneyland in California, and he rode BTMRR and it was his favorite! I can't wait to experience this with him.
I may have gone a little overboard. I did two packages - one of the Unlimited VP; and one of the two nights/three park day packages...with random hotel rooms in between, before and after...how crazy is it to move hotels and rooms?? Will I hate it/regret it?? What is your experience?
So here's the plan (as it is right now)...
Fly into HND on Thursday, June 25.
Staying somewhere in Tokyo (not sure where yet).
Friday, June 26: Explore Tokyo.
Make our way to the Disney Resort.
Check into the Ambassador Hotel (one night).
Saturday, June 27: DisneySea
(not yet booked): Breakfast at Chef Mickey--I need to book this, saw it was available to book earlier, but have to go back tonight and complete it.

Hotel at Disneyland Hotel - Tinkerbell Themed Room.
Thursday, July 2: No park, but hang around the resort a little and then head to the Shinkansen to head to Kyoto for a couple days.
Possibly get breakfast on resort property.
Don't ask how much I spent on this trip...it's way more than I should have...however--given this is my son's first time to Japan, and I want to do this right! Especially given it's in the middle of the summer...it's what we are doing.
Any advice, feedback...let me know what you think...
