    New 2020 Japan Disney Resort Package change to MIRACOSTA

    Here are my thoughts... while it was a pain in the royal *** to book through Tokyo Disney's Website I would do it on my own again. Because I spent in total $4,500 USD for the following... 2 Nights @ the Mira Costa Porto Paradiso Park View (which our room had a side view of the harbor)...

    Japan Meets Thread

    Can't WAIT to meet you both on September 29th! We fly out in 7 days... (decided to do a week pre trip) but this is all so unreal. Japan has been a dream of mine since I was like 5 and discovered 'American sushi' <3

    2020 DVC Member Cruise to Alaska - Cancelled

    I know that a few people have been moved off the waitlist... as they posted so in our FB group. But this was a few months ago. Not sure what the waitlist is doing now.

    ABD Japan July 14-26 (with Tokyo Disneyland Extension): Trip Report and Impressions

    @CaliforniaGirl09 I didn't see a Swallows Hat represented! They are so cute they look like smiling penguins! A Japanese baseball game was one of the first things we planed on our pre-days. So I promise to share our Japan Vlogs as soon as we edit them. You have set the bar high for...

    A seasoned traveler's first-time ABD perspective for Alaska 8 - 15 July 2019

    Ok so. I'm a little tired of the comments flying around about being a Disney Stock Holder 'looking down upon ABD" as if it's the red-headed stepchild of the company. Honestly, that's a little ridiculous. I myself have personal ties/interests in Disney as a Company and I find it an advantage...

    ABD Japan July 14-26 (with Tokyo Disneyland Extension): Trip Report and Impressions

    @CaliforniaGirl09 One more question to pick your brain. You said that Dontobori Street was a big highlight for you. How did that work? The itinerary says that it was an optional stop and you even said your son went back to the hotel. How long did the part of the group that...

    Japan 2019 vs 2020

    @Cousin Orville Thanks for your timeline. That was super helpful in planning our private guide now that day. I'm sorry I didn't quickly respond here... I am so excited in the trip and have been responding in a bunch of different threads here. LOL

    ABD Japan July 14-26 (with Tokyo Disneyland Extension): Trip Report and Impressions

    @CaliforniaGirl09 My husband an I really appreciate all the hard trip-reporting you are doing. It is really helping us to shape our last few On our Own Times immensely. While I am 100% sure all these trips were and will-be amazing. I am actually really glad we decided on one of the...

    TDR Package + Extra Nights +other questions.

    What you are asking are two different situations. If you card declines (it will straight up tell you it is declined) Japan apparently uses a different security measure then most other countries. It is very sensitive to foreign cards. Again I have not been to Japan yet to physically try...

    Japan 2019 vs 2020

    @Cousin Orville About what time would you say the Shrine portion of Day 10 Ended for your group? I am thinking that we are going to hire a private guide to come meet us there (if its later in the morning and head off before being dropped at Takeshita street)

    TDR Package + Extra Nights +other questions.

    I am thinking of making a Vlog post about my experiences with this... to help more people out. I read the stories from the forums and at first did not believe it would be as bad as it was. My first advice is to go on the website now. Set-up your account with Tokyo Disney. And...

    TDR Package + Extra Nights +other questions.

    Yes you are given 3 day tickets from what I read and understand. So I will technically overlap and have one extra day when we leave. Which I guess we will 'eat the cost of'. But honestly that's a miniscule loss to me. What I paid for was the grantee that I had the rooms I wanted without...

    ABD Japan July 14-26 (with Tokyo Disneyland Extension): Trip Report and Impressions

    @CaliforniaGirl09 You are the 4th person to express that the Tokyo portion of the trip needs restructuring. So my question is what time did everyone have to meet up for the Farewell Dinner? Because I am seriously considering doing a tour of Akihabera on Day 10... and make most of...

    Tokyo Disney Resort ABD Extension - OYO questions

    First of all to give you an idea of how much the add-on was... it would have cost my hubby and I an extra 4,300 USD (that was the quote for our Sept 29th-Oct 9 2019 upcoming trip) It included the 2 nights at the Disneyland Hotel and I believe 11 Fast Passes. Because I wanted to stay at the...

    Hey Cali can you ask Ken if he is doing the Adult's Only Sep 29th? From what I've been reading he totally took over right? Dusty did a week or two, but he's finishing out the season. Just curious (also if so does he take Pay Pal?) Someone said Tomomi does.

    Why is financing so disfavored for DVC on the boards. . . and for that matter, why do so many judge those who use it

    So I've read this entire thread and I am surprised no one has even mentioned the obvious. Whether you finance or pay upfront... absolutely no one on this board can predict the sad truth that death comes at the most inopportune time. We can sit here and argue about risk (taking on debt)...

    First I, too hope everything is OK with James. I do not know him or have I been on any trips with him, but it's both sad and scary to hear of a sudden departure. With that being said. I'm going to be glass filled and spilling over the brim here. Fellow Japan Adventurers no matter...

    October 2019 Check-In Thread!

    Long winded intro. But my husband and I will be visiting Disneyland from Oct 9th-12th. (after about 2 1/2 weeks in Japan... doing the ABD starting Sep 29th) We have Oogie Boogie tickets for the party on the 10th. And will be staying at the Disneyland Hotel the whole time. Can't...
