Japan Trip Planning Update

The final update.

We've finally bought and received our Green car Japan Rail Passes - we bought them from JTB.

We decided to go with Green again as we'll be travelling during the busy August period and in Green Car you have enough space between you and the seat in front to store your suitcase. 

We've bought a new hand held fan to help us tackle the 39ºC temperatures we're going to be standing in at Disneyland and DisneySea. I've tested it out and it's amazing! It has three speeds/strengths and is better than the mains one I use at home! This is the one we bought.

I've finally sorted a new hand luggage bag as my camera bag isn't big enough now that I need to take medication, prescriptions etc with me. I've decided to use this one I bought in Walt Disney World last year as it has the side bottle pockets.

Really not impressed with the quality though so i'm hoping it doesn't jam up or fall apart on the flight.

I've got all of my Yen, my fiancé has ordered the rest of his ready to pick up at the end of the week.

We've reshuffled a few things in our day planner, added a couple of things - like the Walt Disney Archive exhibition in Ginza, and are trying to squeeze in another day or evening at Tokyo Disneyland as the Mickey soap dispensers are coming back in stock on the 20th (and we aren't in Tokyo then! So fingers crossed they don't instantly sell out again). And we'll maybe be meeting up with a couple of our friends who are over there at the minute too.

We'll be buying our Tokyo Disney Resort tickets when we check in at the Disney Ambassador Hotel and our Universal Studios Japan tickets when we check in at the Granvia Osaka so we'll be able to skip the ticket queues!

We still need to make a Japanese apple account to download the Tokyo Disney Resort app, choose our Shinkansen times and pack our cases, but otherwise, I think we're all ready to go!
