Excuse the bump, I am looking for Body Wars info! Yesterland says "there have been no credible reports" of the simulators being removed, though many have reported parts have been moved for Star Tours...over at MiceChat the comments say they'll use the simulators at HKDL for Iron Man. But this...

I'm trying to figure out POTC/BB. I saw POTC on the refurb list for my BB reservation date which is 4/28. I called to see if I could adjust and the CM told me the refurb had been canceled. It's still on the website though so I'm not sure what to think... Edit: The previous conversation wasn't...

Just a note, "front row" is pronounced "sai zen retsu" :) (edit: can't seem to get it to display the kanji, you can see it here)

It's IN the park. You're part of the theming! Yeah, it may look a little cheesy, but being part of the park is good enough for me. (Not that I will ever be able to afford to stay there, but that's why I would!)

So this is the product, but that's the manufacturer's page, you can't buy from them unless you're a retailer, I figure. But this should work! Edit: Oh, and the brand is Abekko, not Kasugai. The usual flavor of ramune is lemonade, not mint. But it comes in other flavors too, like the grape...

I would actually disagree - the JR and Tokyo Metro actually bend over backwards to make things accessible, and the crowding has never blocked my wheelchair-using friend from getting on. You might have to go a little out of your way sometimes (Iriya station, for example), but it's fairly...

I want to second Mickey Fliers. Japan is not particularly disability-friendly in general. A friend of mine is a wheelchair user; she had some difficulty in places. In fact, at the Disney Store in Shibuya, we asked where the elevator was. The staff person said "oh let me help you!" No thanks...

Just a note, the LGM cakes are strawberry, custard, and green tea. :) The popcorn flavor is not mentioned; presumably those two buckets will be available all over the park as usual. Remember that Japanese is read right to left when written vertically! The first characters for that caption...

Chandu!! I love him! He's the best part of the ride, in my opinion.

I would agree with this. DisneySea is the only one of its kind in the world. You can safely skip TDL, it's amazing but it is the same as Disneyland. TDS is unique though, and if it's your only time in Japan and your only chance to go, I'd say pay for the After 6 passport and you will...

In places where tattoos are prohibited, it seems to be all tattoos. The usual graphic used pictures a man with a full sleeve next to a woman with a butterfly on her shoulder. I've never encountered anywhere that was specific about what tattoos are banned - in policy, anyway. In practice, it's up...

Note that you can still get a regular FP for attractions - that was what I meant by "extra" - so you could have two at once, essentially, with the GAC. That would reduce your queue time and hopefully some meltdowns would be avoided as a result! The CMs will help you have a great time.

The CMs are wonderful! The face characters speak English (they are usually foreigners) and many other CMs do as well. The janitors also put on cute shows that I have not observed at other parks. Feel free to interact with any CM you want, they truly have the spirit of customer service! And keep...

Trading is pretty much nonexistent. Some shops sell a few pins, so you can pick up some TDR exclusives, but nobody has them to trade, including CMs.

Yes, they have GAC at TDR. I don't know what the accommodations are at the other resorts as I've never been with someone who used one. At TDR they act like an extra fastpass and I assume there is also the parent swap capability. (My friend was in a wheelchair so we also used a separate entrance...

Ooh, I'm quite late responding on this! I have tattoos as well and I covered them the entire time I lived in Japan, at least at work. However, as people have noted, it's not really a big deal *except* for onsen and sento. No hotel, ryokan, museum, amusement park (except water parks), etc...

Great blog! You've hit on all my favorite things already. I once had the outdoor patio of Canaletto almost to myself, while a wedding party went by on one of the gondolas. That was pretty awesome. Your daughter is RIDICULOUSLY adorable, seriously!! :)

Ah! 8pm is no problem at all then. If it was 3pm you might have had a tough time. The regular coin lockers are usually ￥200-500 depending on size.

What time is your flight? If you're flying from Narita, remember it's over 90 minutes from Mitaka to Narita. I would consider it a fairly tight fit to go on the day of your departure, remembering that you should arrive a bit early. It's possible, but a bit tight.

Actually it has been somewhat chilly in Tokyo for Golden Week 2013! It's warming up a bit now but there's no guarantee of nicer weather just because it's May! Personally I would say go for the cherry blossoms. You can always wear a coat and bring an umbrella if it's cool/rainy. The cherry...
