This is my attempt to do my pre-trip report. This might change into just the report. I will update with new posts, but they will have links in this main post.
I guess I should explain the title. We had originally planned to go to Japan, but the big tsunami and nuclear reactor disaster happened in Fukushima. Our son was pretty young, so we decided to hold off. Then we tried again in 2022, but Japan was still closed. Tried in 2023, but stuff was still opening and getting off the ground. So, hopefully, finally, we make it to Japan in June 2024.
US:
Couple in their early 50s and 18 year old son. We have been to Europe and South America but never Japan. We go to WDW and Universal Orlando frequently and are pass holders. We go to Disneyland often and some to Knott’s Berry Farms and Universal Hollywood. We live in Texas. All monetary values listed are in US dollars unless otherwise specified.
RESOURCES:
I used the TDR Explorer guide books and website. I also used the Disney Tourist Blog and Travel Caffeine websites. I obviously used the DIS boards Tokyo Disneyland forum. I used some newer groups on social media: the Tokyo Disneyland holiday planning and Universal Japan holiday planning.
