Beckysc, I would say your Disney end sound manageable, but you may have to think about switching Victoria Peak to Thursday - which would mean a very crowded schedule. Let's work backwards on your Friday. You said your Tokyo flight leaves at 2ish (pm). Because of the "civic activity" (the powers...

I am replying late, too, and you may have already changed your plans. You didn't say how many days you have. If it's just the long Thanksgiving weekend, absolutely concentrate on the two parks at Tokyo Disney. But if you have a full week, adding on Hong Kong to your flight itinerary would not...

You will love all three Asian Disney parks! You need one, perhaps two days for Shanghai, one day for Hong Kong, but at least two, preferably more days for the two parks in Tokyo. There are two reasons for penciling in more days for Tokyo. First, while the Shanghai and Hong Kong Disneylands tend...

MouseOfCards, sorry to hear you were disappointed with concierge at the DL Hotel. For me, it was anything but. The rooms were nice, and the cast members at least in my interactions were stellar, one in particular going above and beyond the call of duty in response to some of my requests. One...

Small. I'm actually working on a pet project, a comparison of the six Disney sites (including twelve parks) around the world. So far, I have a spreadsheet primarily comparing what lands, attractions and entertainment there is at the different sites. (I have no idea what I would do with this; I...

I’ve recently returned from Hong Kong Disneyland (Sept 17 – 21) and have never been able to get so many rides and attractions under my belt. On the Thursday and Friday (Sept 17 and 18), it seemed as if every single attraction was a walk-on, with zero (!) lines. On Thursday evening, I went to one...

Sky Lim, the park and Disneytown have Christmas decorations (rather low-key and tasteful ones, I might add) but no special Christmas events. When we were about to go last Christmas, I checked the opening hours. The hours on Christmas Eve (which was Sunday) and Christmas Day were no different...

Sky Lim, yes, the Premier Access tickets did run out on Christmas Day. That was a high-volume day, however, and my assumption is that on a day with normal crowd levels, they would not run out. (I could, of course, be wrong.) We are now getting into the Chinese New Year, however, and certainly...

MommaBerd, thank you for the compliments. How old are your kids? Certainly if they are teenagers who eat a lot, I’d suggest considering concierge level. You can tank up for breakfast, and then come back for happy hour to eat your fill for supper, before returning to the park to watch the...

I love questions like this, because you can get some surprising answers. We've been to both recently, just like OKW Lover, but we'd answer differently: Tokyo wins on points. Scale and rides: Tokyo has Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea; DisneySea has some of my favorite rides such as Tower of...

Nomarian, my pleasure. We didn't find any laundry room, and I suspect that there isn't one. However, the hotel had the usual laundry service, and the prices (by U.S. standards) were reasonable.

SamfordSusie, I would agree with Wanderlust on all three points. Given how crowded Tokyo Disneyland gets, and how much the Japanese like making things into a group effort, you can expect that groups will send someone to reserve a spot for the parade while the others do their thing. However, they...

I just got back from Shanghai, and the concierge at the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel told me that the opening would be in April 2018. It will be located between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. (And over the fence, we could see the RC racer ride being set up.)

There have been a few posts asking about crowds at Christmas at Shanghai Disneyland, so I wanted to pass on our experience. It’s doable, and the wide walkways and vast distances at the park meant that moving around was easier than, say, at WDW during Christmas. However, getting on a ride...

As a spin-off to the thread on worst ring tones to go off in church, would you want to wake up after surgery to hear "Knocking on Heaven's Door"? Just last week, the BBC had an honest-to-goodness news item on what music surgeons in Cardiff (Wales) listen to in surgery (and it turned out...

We've been there several times, both to Bangkok and to various hotels around the country. Are you going to Bangkok or one of the resorts? And what kind of info do you want? The "wet season" is over, and just about now is the peak tourist season. Like Hisgirl mentioned, it'll be hot and humid...

May I throw in links to two British commentators (commatators!)? (Neither one eats, shoots and leaves. :)) Both argue that there is no rule regarding the Oxford comma. Use the Oxford comma if it clarifies the sentence. Don't use it if it does not. Harry Mount has written extensively on...

Which example are you referring to? The "and" in the "I like ice cream, milk, cheese and yoghurt" is hardly unnecessary. I assume that you do not mean this example. Methinks, therefore, you mean my suggestion for re-writing the example that deals with Agnes Warwick's will. The two...

I am one of those few who responded "sometimes", and I agree with the AP Stylebook on this one. Simple series can usually do without a comma. Sometimes a comma may help. If you will pardon me for saying this, most of the examples strong advocates of the Oxford comma have provided in previous...

And who is this George fellow, anyway? Has he done anything worthwhile? Yes, he is definitely "marrying up".
