Ep 124: Tokyo Disney Secrets: What I'd Do Differently (And What Was Totally Worth It)
About this episode
We kicked off our Japan trip by heading straight from a 12-hour flight to Tokyo Disneyland. Crazy... a little, but honestly, it kind of worked.
In this episode, I'm breaking down how we did two days at Tokyo Disney, including a full day at Disney Sea with the vacation package, happy entry perks, and yes, a few hiccups along the way. This is episode one of a three-part Japan series, sharing everything that worked and lessons learned along the way.
In This Episode You'll Learn:
✔ Why I chose to start our Japan trip at Tokyo Disney
✔ What a Tokyo Disney vacation package actually includes, and the different options
✔ Why Happy Entry at Disney Sea is worth building your hotel choice around
✔ The exact ride strategy I used at Disney Sea to minimize wait times and maximize the day, and how I'd do it without Happy Entry or a vacation package
✔ Which Premier Access passes sell out first
✔ The four things I bought before this trip that made everything easier
✔ Our honest food reviews, hits and misses
✔ What I'd do differently if we went back, and whether I'd do Tokyo Disney again at all
