    Dining TDR Outside Parks

    LOL...one of our favorite experiences was Ippudo in Ikspiari. Perhaps it was because it was our first night in Japan, but we thought it was delicious and so inexpensive compared to restaurants in California! We waited in line for a bit but it was worth it (just know that the lower level of...

    Rented Pocket WIFI ~ Can you give me the facts? Where to get? Cost ? How do you rent??

    We visited Japan mid June and rented a pocket wifi on the first floor of Terminal 1 a the Narita airport. There is a rental desk at every terminal. I used JW or Japan Wifi. With the four of us going, and 2 being young adults, I figured that this would be the cheapest way to have access to the...

    Aulani and Japan in 1 trip?

    We live in California, but just returned from a trip to Japan, followed by a three day trip at Aulani. Japan was wonderful but it was EXHAUSTING. I consider myself in good shape, but the walking, subway rides, 18,000 steps per day, and multiple flights of stairs wiped all of us out. It was so...

    Does anyone else care?

    We just got back (fourth trip) and I agree with some of your comments. But I'm now wondering if there are seasons I need to skip out on. 😬 I'm a teacher and taught at a school with a year round schedule which meant I had non-traditional months off. We therefore went in February, October or...

    Use of the Amenities on Check-In Day?

    I agree! Pack a bag with swimsuits and sunscreen and then use the lobby bathrooms which aren’t sandy and have roomy stalls.

    Recommendations on purchasing TDR tickets? Klook?

    We just left Japan and Klook worked beautifully for our TDR trip. I printed out the tickets and we scanned them at the park. The other option is to use the QR code sent by Klook to your email. I was glad I printed them because I was able to scan our tickets into the TDR app which was necessary...

    Does anyone else care?

    We just arrived today for our 4th trip, with the last one being 5 years ago. We bought DVC Aulani points before the resort opened and have enjoyed our stays quite a bit. For this particular trip, we added it to a two week trip to Japan so we could adjust to the time difference and relax. We...

    Transportation to Tokyo Disney after Japan ABD.

    Hello! Can anyone recommend a private van transfer from Narita to a hotel near Tokyo Disney, specifically the Hilton Tokyo Bay? We are a group of 9 and will need a van. I am finding a hard time navigating the websites of some companies and am not sure which company to go with on Klook. Any...

    Just a rant about ungrateful relatives….

    I agree with this! :thumbsup2 In my experience, some people don't know the cash value of DVC points. We took a few family members to Aulani and while there we looked up how much our 2 bedroom villa would cost in cash. It was $20,000. I understand your frustration but from her perspective it...

    Aulani purchase?

    We own at Aulani and rented out those points very easily one year. It is such a special resort, and renting points makes it a much better deal than staying in a regular hotel room. I think that is a benefit of owning at Aulani:)

    A physician’s thoughts after spending 16 nights at Universal and Disney

    A group of 14 of us will be traveling to WDW from California in November and the day after I booked DVC, tickets, reservations, etc. I woke up and thought, "What did we just do? Are we nuts? What are people going to say?" :scared: Your post has made me feel much better about my decision. Thank you!

    We decided to Sell

    I'm in the same boat...we sold earlier this year before COVID and it was a bit of a shock at first. But there's a whole other world out there to explore. We have our 125 point contract at Aulani and I'm glad we at least held on to a little something. Even with that small amount, we are so...
