Ep 124: Tokyo Disney Secrets: What I'd Do Differently (And What Was Totally Worth It)

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
