We hope too, - but its very difficult to plan this far out - none of the hotels have firm prices or take bookings until 3 months out - which is very frustrating for me. The Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay - a Disney partner hotel has rooms that will fit five - its a little way out of Central Tokyo but close to Disney and only a train ride away from other sights - and I have found a cute Machiya (self contained townhouse) in Kyoto on VRBO. (never used VRBO before -so a little apprehensive)
But at this stage I am just saving my money and crossing fingers and watching airfares.
(Again this is like our US trip - I start researching to see if it is doable - then before I know it I have invested too much time and effort and have my heart set, so cant back out.)
Bec, I think we will fly Qantas too - Jetstar seems to only go via Gold Coast or Cairns from Sydney with a couple of hours to kill in the airport- the kicker is if you are paying for checked luggage you have to pay for 2 legs. Unless you get a good sale the Qantas prices seem to be the same. (although I did see some great prices for Business class or whatever they call it, which might tempt me)
Travel Mum - My reference was to the federal budget that was handed down on Tuesday - the very generous government is giving an $820 bonus for each secondary school student - supposedly for educational expenses
(I'll take their money and refrain from any political comment)

(don't you love those who like to push in!!!) and collected the front corner of my car 
. It's really easier having something like this happen with a stranger! Then the insurance bit can be done and you can move on. We are going to have every school function for the next 7 years with that bingle moment hanging around
