Sharing the excitement Japan and TDR in 10 days

[Aussie Wendy]

Just had to share my excitement that we will be in Japan in 10 days time (or thereabouts). Only 2 days for TDR unfortunately but had to juggle Disney fix with actually seeing the country and cater for hubby and daughter! I will be posting a trip report with pics on return and if I am good-food porn (we normally demolish most of it then think bugger!) We will be in Kyoto for 5 full days joined by our adult daughter for our last day then in Kanazawa on the western coast for 3 nights then Tokyo and TDR for our last 4.5 days. Since this is only a short trip I might actually finish this trip report. Have garnered lots of useful info as always from the boards and have a plan of attack for Disney Sea especially to maximise our day. Stay tuned!

I can't wait for your trip report. We're going to a lot of those same places during our trip in the fall (and yes, only 2 at TDR for us too). I'd love to hear of any restaurants you love, too. We're foodies here!

Thanks guys-will try and get a report up as soon as I get back before I head into a mad period at work so any hints I have I can share especially with you BelleBway before you go as its much the same timing-or you might be gone before we get back? I presume you have studied the couple of good reports that are on here like Lurkyloo's and the guy whose name I forget.

This is actually my 4th trip to Japan/TDR... but I did read a lot of trip reports including Lurkyloo's which was a lot of fun, and which definitely gave me some ideas! I also reviewed my photos and re-read my own travel blogs from my previous trips. I wish I had more time, but this time I'm just going for about a week and splitting it between TDR and Tokyo.

I will definitely look forward to reading your report- even if it's not up til after I leave.

Not a problem. Err, last minute advice? Embrace everything that is different, smiles transcend language, and try the various TDR popcorn flavors! (I am currently in mourning for the Cappuccino flavor but am open to trying new flavors)

One of my favorite TDR memories was when I was sitting and waiting for some parade and a little kid- toddler, really- was hanging out next to me. I smiled at him/her and the kid smiled back... and it didn't matter that we came from opposite sides of the world. (I know some Japanese, but at that moment, language was irrelevant)
