    Getting from Haneda to Tokyo Disneyland... suggestions Please...

    The airport limo bus is probably your best bet. They take you straight from the airport to hotels at TDR. The airport limos operate from Narita and Haneda, so make sure when you use the site that you're looking at Haneda for the timetables. They run most of the day, but I'm pretty sure service...

    Just wondering what everyone thinks... Will the Olympic Games happen in Tokyo this year? Let's hear your thoughts

    My question is not IF they will reschedule, but WHEN. My DH and I are still really hoping we could still go to Japan next year in April during my Spring Break, but we certainly won't if the Olympics are taking place at or right around that time.

    Grocery shopping during Coronavirus?

    And by the way, on Monday morning, there was basically no fresh meat left other than the fancy stuff behind the butcher counter! Thank goodness I buy meat and freeze it, but we'll be out by April... We'll be having a number of vegetarian meals this month!

    Grocery shopping during Coronavirus?

    Over the weekend, I made a calendar listing out all of the meals for my DH and me for the rest of March, putting items that would be more likely to expire sooner earlier on the calendar. Then I figured out what ingredients/items I was missing and did a big shopping trip on Monday morning. My...

    What have you had to cancel due to Coronavirus?

    My DH and I cancelled our April trip to Japan last month when Japan was given a threat level of 2. I can't even tell you how sad that was for us. I had been meticulously planning and researching for over a year. I have never traveled abroad, and I really was finally starting to feel ready. We...

    Trip Cancellation :-(

    We got a full refund from Hilton! We called the Honors number tonight and explained the situation, stating that I have severe asthma and work in a school of over 2,000 children. The first person we spoke to couldn't get it done, even after talking to the hotel management. My DH firmly told them...

    Trip Cancellation :-(

    Whoops, I thought I posted this earlier, but I guess not! Hey, I remember discussing the flash sale with you and being so excited about it! I will absolutely let you know what happens with Hilton. My DH is REALLY good at arguing about things like this, thankfully, because I tend to be quite a...

    Trip Cancellation :-(

    Hey guys, just thought I would post an update. My DH and I are very likely cancelling our trip to TDR and Tokyo in early April. We are truly freaked out about the coronavirus threat level being moved up to 2. I have asthma; with this pre-existing condition, it just makes us so much more nervous...

    Lots of Random Questions

    I was eyeing Ninja Wifi. Did it ever suddenly "slow down" for you once you hit a certain amount of data? To everyone, thank you so very much for the info. I always know I can count on this forum for help!!!

    Lots of Random Questions

    Our trip is getting a lot closer, and I'm starting to have some questions that I hope others may be able to answer! I apologize in advance if any of these are "dumb questions!" (I hope they aren't!!!) 1. I read that rush hour in Japan is typically 7-9 am and 5-7 pm. After watching a video of...

    Need help ... lotta help

    So sorry to hear about your wife. I hope you will make some memories on this trip that you will cherish forever! Lots of people post trip reports on this forum. I would look through some to see what worked and didn't work for others on their trips. Maybe you could basically follow someone...

    Help Me Pick My Dates!!!

    I think it's going to be busy on all of those dates because of the new Beauty and the Beast land, but at least your earlier dates aren't right on top of Golden Week. Also, in general, weekdays are less busy from what I have read. April 20-23rd is all during the week, and May 6-9 will have you...

    Split Tokyo hotel stay or onsite entire time?

    One option you could also consider is staying in Tokyo at a Disney Good Neighbor hotel. They have buses every day to take you to and from the parks. The commute could be kind of long each day, though. My DH and I are doing a split stay. We are starting at TDR (Hilton Tokyo Bay) and on our last...

    Tokyo Itinerary Feedback

    I'm going to move Harajuku to Saturday - I think that day is too light on activities, based on what I'm cramming into the others! Thanks for the suggestion.

    Tokyo Itinerary Feedback

    Hi everyone! I am looking for feedback and any suggestions (stores, restaurants, attractions, etc.) for the Tokyo part of our trip (I haven't finished our Disney part yet - I was waiting until it got a little closer for any new info, an English TDR app 🤞, etc.). Just some background info...

    Where do we even begin...?!

    You could always do a split stay. My DH and I could never justify the kind of money it takes to stay at the official TDR hotels, and we are more than happy with our choice of Hilton Tokyo Bay (seems like the equivalent of a moderate to deluxe resort at WDW). It ended up being way cheaper than we...

    DISNEYSEA FASTPASS AND RIDE ADVICE for a clueless newbie

    There is a way to do this, but supposedly it's a huge pain. I'm waiting until right before my trip to do this in case they finally make an English-friendly one (don't want to waste my time!). TDR Explorer should have detailed instructions on how to do this AND how to obtain Fastpasses using the app.
