Hello lovely Disney fans! I am in the midst of planning my first ever trip to Tokyo with my husband for early September and am sort of at a loss for how to go about making said plans. I am used to planning for WDW, with ADRs 180 days out and having everything down to the second mapped out (in my native language, no less), so the idea of this whole across the world in a different language situation is making me break out into hives.
We will be in Tokyo for a week, and planning 4 full Disney days while there. We'll have about a day and a half at the start of the trip to explore Tokyo, and I literally know nothing about this great land we'll soon be exploring. What should a twenty-something married couple do in Tokyo for fun? Sadly, the only thing I know is of Harajuku, because of my love of fashion, but even that is limited.
Then, the Disney part of the equation -- I am told early September is a good time to go, crowd-wise. Is it really true that we should buy our park tickets the morning we arrive at Disney? That seems so bizarre to me. Also, is it true that dining reservations are made same-day whilst in the park? I'm having flashbacks to my childhood WDW trips when my family of 4 made dining reservations the same day at kiosks in the park, and simply can't believe it could be that easy with the level of crowds I've read TDR normally has. How do the restaurants not get booked up?
We have the Hilton Tokyo Bay booked for our Disney days, but no plans for hotel beyond that for our two nights in Tokyo. Any recommendations for me would be so helpful as I continue to read your posts in this board.
Thank you endlessly
