So I think I've pulled together a trip for 11/6-11/17 (yay!) I am, however, woefully underplanned (boo!) Currently, I have reservations at the Hotel Universe 11/6-8, and then on points at the Sheraton Tokyo Bay for 11/8-13. I had tentatively considered trying to get to the Ghibli Museum on the 7th, and doing TDR 11/9-12. Then, things get a little vague.

I had heard that Nikko, in addition to the temples/shrines, also has a couple of amusement/theme parks as well. Are they worthwhile? Do you need 2 days to do them? I was off-handedly thinking of going out to Nikko on the 13th, then staying for 2 nights there to see whatever's out there to see. The other alternative might be to go back to Hotel Universe for 11/13-16, and meander around Tokyo (is the Costco good? Does it have cheap Japanese stuff? Or just less-expensive Western stuff?) I contemplated trying to get to Universal Studios Japan, but it seems like a long trip for just a weekend.

I have enough Hilton points to stay 2 nights so I'd then move to either the Hilton Tokyo Bay or Conrad Hilton for the last 2 nights. Tokyo Bay would be more convenient if I decided I needed to go back to TDR on 11/16, however I think Conrad Hilton is supposed to be nicer.

Thanks for any input! Woo! TDR! ]]> Tokyo Travel Planning lonegungirl http://micechat.com/forums/tokyo-travel-planning/126040-opinions-suggestions-sought.html http://micechat.com/forums/tokyo-travel-planning/126030-3-kids-february-help-planning.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 06:15:34 GMT Hi, We are planning to take out second trip to Tokyo DL in February.

We are planning to take out second trip to Tokyo DL in February. The last time we went it was October and we did not have our (now) toddler. The boys remember massive crowds last October and are not eager to repeat that experience. The kids will be 11,9, and 2. All boys, so Princess info not necessary....

1. Kids are out of school for CNY and crowds should be low, but husband says we will be miserable in the cold. Opinions? Is it warm in the attractions at least? I am dreaming of nice cafes with Hot Chocolate after multiple trips on Pooh. Am I dreaming??

2. We are deciding between TDL Hotel and MiraCosta. Probably 5-6 nights. One better than the other? Or 3 nights in each? Dinner sounds nice at TDS in an italian restaurant, but it looks like the park closes quite early. How does that affect hotel guests?

3. I don't find info about purchasing a room rate which includes park tickets. I would prefer this. Is it possible?

4. Also there does not seem to be Breakfast included. Where is a good place for a light breakfast in the mornings? I don't want to pay Yen 3000 per person for a buffet each day.

Thanks, Jennifer ]]> Tokyo Travel Planning Jenniferinbeijing http://micechat.com/forums/tokyo-travel-planning/126030-3-kids-february-help-planning.html
