Wow, where to begin!
Lets just say, for me it made planning for WDW, seem like child's play. I would suggest you read some of the trip reports, here are mine, the one in 2016 , explains why I went to Japan, and then again in 2017, explains why I had to cancel Disney and go back. There a few more with much different perspectives, which I read before I went, but I went not for Disney which I think is quite a different perspective. Don't let the titles fool you... 2016 2017 Once you have a had look, then the questions will start...so ask away!

Getting Excited
|
Hi Sunnysandra,
I'm heading back for my 2nd trip in a couple of weeks. For our first trip, we just stuck with Tokyo (so much to see & do you cannot hope to even cover it in one go) and Kyoto- using the bullet train to get between the two. It can be overwhelming when you first start researching. As Kevin said read some trip reports & watch some YouTube videos... Last time we stayed in Airbnb's, this time we're flying with ANA and using hotels, I'd definitely recommend DIY. Happy planning! |

Watch Abroad in Japan as he does a great video on why you should visit, and then Only in Japan, with John Daub, his videos are really well made and offer a great insight.

I personally would say diy to ensure you get the trip you want. When planning I spent ages reading trip reports and watching youtube videos, they were extremely helpful!

We always do September to October etc it avoids the main humidity but a very pleasant time
Last time it was warmer than we expected but still not Florida heat more like the best British summer that we never get!
