We are joining a two week package tour next summer that starts in New Zealand, hops to Australia, and ends in Hawaii. We are trying to decide if we should add days on the front to see Japan (historical/cultural sites plus 2 days at Tokyo Disneyland/Disney Sea) OR if we should add days on the end of the tour and stay at Aulani.
Of course, doing both would be great, but my hubby's vacation time is limited, and I'm afraid that splitting it wouldn't do justice to either place and we'd just feel rushed.
Ultimately I know it's personal preference, but anyone who's done one or both want to weigh in?
Perks for Tokyo:
We've never been to Japan. Tokyo Disney Sea looks AMAZING and is a favorite Disney park for many people. We would be there for Tanabata Days- a Japanese festival that includes special costumes, decor, and parades. We would get to see Mt. Fuji and other beautiful temples and sites. Only "downside"- we are nervous about not speaking the language.
Perks for Aulani:
My hubby and I have been to Hawaii before (me- 4 times, him- 2 times, kids- 1 time), but we've never done Aulani. It would be a nice relaxing end to our trip. We could see Moana! The kids are newly obsessed with earning National Park Junior Ranger badges and want to "redo" the Hawaii parks so they can get them!
