Not yet at Tokyo, but now at Kyoto and it's damn cold ( 2 degrees ), forecast last week was off because these few days suddenly snow again.
I can tahan body and leg cold, kinda enjoy in fact but my hands are freezing like no tomorrow. Lucky I brought waterproof boots so my feet are fine.
Time to utilize those heat pad ( hand warmer )
*
when your feet and hands are cold
the whole body also cold
so better be well prepared and bring something thick rather than multiple jacket

It's only 4°C now in Tokyo - that's hardly freezing
You don't need ultra warm heattech. But then some people memang cannot tahan cold wan so I dunno. If I wear ultra warm, I'll probably get cook alive

when i was there last year, it was abt that temp and its freakin cold
no glove, no scarf...wind blowing constantly...frezzing cold...

Most of the rides are boring, probably suitable for  kids 10 & below.
Every corner shop selling Disney souvenirs

when i was there, it was around christmas season and their 15th anniversary

worth every penny

DisneySea ya? My gf went Disneyland in HK, so she wanted to go DisneySea this time. I'm abit skeptical about rollercoasters, is still bearable right? Too fast I scare I pee in pants. laugh.gif

Just wondering, where you guys got your tickets? I'm planning on buying it from klook. Wanna see if there's any other ways to get it cheaper..
*
definitely bearable
its not those roller coaster at ocean park HK
buy from the site itself, all theme park at japan...disneyland, disneysea, universal studio osaka...all the same price
buying from site like klook won't differ much at all, only like RM2-3 difference and no extra free things
so buy from official site for better guarantee

It's always a balance between convenience (of not lugging around a lot of gear) and quality of the photos you get. In the end you need to ownself decide where to put that balance lol. Anyway for example this photo of me and my wife (that time was GF) was taken with a tripod and DSLR with wide angle lens.

[edit] if you decide not to lug around a tripod (because it really is VERY annoying to travel with one), you can consider using those gorilllapod instead

http://joby.com/gorillapod-original
*
DSLR and tripod too heavy
thats why now i chose something in between
a mirrorless(sony) camera with a good lens with gorilla pod
super duper small and light(except the lens) and shoot very good quality photos
i dnt trust my HP for photos at all

its true
if you're resident, u won't have the time to travel around

Disney has something called FastPass for certain ride, which is not for sale. You need to collect them at the FastPass kiosk for free, but first come first serve basis. The pass will specify what time range (example :10am - 10.30am) where you can just go straight into the ride.

There are some other restriction as well on this (can't hold multiple ride pass at same time , fastpass cooldown etc.). Do google for more info on this if you want to arrange your time to ride all the ride there.

And there's a Disneysea app as well in Google Store Japan that allow you to see the status of ride, waiting time and even the fastpass status of those ride. recommend to download that. thumbup.gif
*
and my advice is to grab the toy story fast pass 1st
that is the hottest right now..so hot i didn't get to ride it
grabbed fastpass at near 9AM(because lost in their train system)...my ride time is 9.00PM laugh.gif which is near closing time

u can made it into the city no problem
i made it using the 2nd last train @ 11.40PM, not even the last train on midnight

Ahh but its indeed a risk laugh.gif in my first trip, landed 30min earlier than expected but was stuck in immigration for pretty long. We managed to catch the last train (my friend said so). Perhaps it'll also have to depend which day of the week you land, as I believe the train operates differently on a weekday/ weekend.

*
not really
the schedule has been fixed like 3 months before
can be checked online directly
and its very damn accurate
