    Go Pro

    We brought a go pro Hero 6 for our travels to WDW and it worked out ok. We mainly used it for us to narrate our travels, so we kept it mainly hand held with the extending selfie stick that Go pro makes. Positives: - It's a perfect size b/c it fits in my pocket and allows me to manage my DSLR...

    Disney Magic MDR favorites

    Is the singing so loud in rapunzel's that you cannot have a conversation? I think with the length of our cruise, we are going to be dining at each location twice?

We've done other ships, fantasy and Wonder, and really enjoyed Animator's palate, but did not really care for the Enchanted Garden. Wondering what everyone's favorite MDR is for the...

    I want to bring a water bottle, so what bag should I bring?

    My wife and I bring these Vapur bottles. The collapse and kind of conform to your pockets on the side of the bag. I like them because they are light and fairly easy to fill with a cup of water from the restaurants/counter service. I tested the strength of the cap myself, I filled it with water...

    Tokyo DisneySea Mid-morning Arrival

    I think tues-thurs are the less crowded days. We were there on a Tuesday and it was ok. We arrived about 45 min prior to opening and were able to get two fast passes. Journey to the center of the earth right away and tower of terror for later in the day. It might be difficult to get a good/early...

    FIRST TRIP TO TOKYO HELP!

    I opted to use the Bus (which they call a limo bus). It was cheaper than the train I believe, for two of us I think it was 3600 yen. If you are flying into Narita, as we did, we just asked some one for bus to disneyland. The people working at the airport do not have perfect English, but enough...

    2018 trip to Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto. Ask any questions you may have.

    1. Public transport Japan.. is it really that bad where 1000s are squashed in a train and standing room only? It's very good in Japan. We used it for all of our travels while we were there. We did have to use some buses from the airport, but other than that the trains are great. As far...
