Japan Trip Booked - Your Recommendations or Advice?

Just curious why the move from Shinjuku to Disney. Isn't about an hour train away or less? Or just wanting to be in the Disney bubble for a few days which certainly is understandable. I was just curious the distance and hassle between Shinjuku and TDL.

Yeah, I don’t want to have to travel in every day, would like to take advantage of HE, never stayed at a Disney hotel, and with this being a honeymoon trip, we just want the ease of it. MiraCosta is a bucket list thing, so trying for 2 nights there, and then 2 nights at toy story.

I’d do like one day from offsite, but if you are going for multiple, that’s a heck of a lot of transit time and very long days. Especially when there isn’t as much of a price discrepancy between the city and partner hotels (Disney ones aside).

Happy entry versus shinjuku literally would save you up to three hours of travel and pre-entry time at TDS.

Exactly! We are doing 4 nights, 3 park days. Just makes sense to stay onsite. Maybe also do an evening ticket on arrival day!
