Anyway, two months out is probably a bit early to post a Pre-Trip report thread, but I'm super excited to say that I've finally been able to book a trip to Tokyo Disneyland. July 31st, two of my friends and I will be checking into the Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel for a 2 day (or possibly 3, as I'll get into later) trip to both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySEA. I've been struggling to make this work since November, and ooh boy has it been a struggle, but (most) everything is set and it's basically just a matter of us physically paying at the hotel.
As to how I'm able to visit in the first place, I'm in a relatively unique situation as a foreigner in that I live in Japan. I've been living in Northern Japan for about two years, or since literally the start of Covid. It's been tough with local regulations. Living in a relatively rural area of Japan that didn't even start getting Covid cases until August 2020, my employer was very wary of anyone traveling, essentially restricting me to the middle of nowhere Japan for the better part of a year and a half. Now that things have been rapidly loosening, I've been able to travel more. And so after no exaggeration months of trying I was finally able to get tickets to Tokyo Disneyland.
In the time between now and my trip, I'll be posting my experiences booking this trip because I pray to god that the system will be better by the time the borders open to all tourists and I need everyone to know how much of a struggle it currently is to purchase tickets to Tokyo Disneyland. I might also pepper in a few mini reports of my "consolation trip" to Universal Studios Japan, but that'll be dependent on my free time.
Hope someone sticks around to read this when the time comes. Thank you for stopping by to my way of coping with the grueling two month wait for my trip. For now I'll leave you with a photo of the area of Japan I live in. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for Adventures on the Tokyo Disneyland Reservation Website...
