Tokyo here we come!

Tonight our flight departs for our 9 day trip to Tokyo. Super can't wait, just hate having to wait till our flight. Time seems to be at a crawl.

We are doing everything free & easy (ie. our own planning) because we prefer to spend more time looking around on our own and have more time for shopping. And most importantly for Disney fans like us is to be able to spend more time at Disney. Most tour packages only cover 1 day at Disney and you have to choose either Disneyland or Disneysea. You've made it all the way there, how can you not go to one or the other? So this more or less cemented our decision to stay, that and the fact that had we gone with a tour group and wanted to extend our trip, each person including child has to pay penalty of $150. And child prices for the package tours is really expensive, almost as much as adults. Whereas planning it ourselves costs way less - especially as kids under 6 are still free to most places in Tokyo and under 4 is free to Tokyo Disneyland/Sea.

This will be our maiden trip to Japan so we do feel a bit apprehensive. Pretty sure we'll get lost on the metro and train lines....but I guess that's to be expected.

More blogging after I come back :)
