Tokyo Disney & Cruise or not?

[mermaids1960]

I would really really love to see Disney in Tokyo, however wouldn’t know where and when to start, we do like cruising is there any cruises that might let us visit or even stay over before a return home journey, big ask I know but Dibbers are a knowledgable group, failing that what do most people plan if travelling to Japan

Hello

Have you thoughts what you want to do in Tokyo, or is your interest in visiting solely for the Disney?

My own trip is 2 days next to Disney, then move for 7 nights into Tokyo itself - we want to wander around the modern city, but are not that interested in seeing the old Japan things like the temples etc. Some shopping to be done too (blush) lol .

Many people like to do 2 days in each part (if not more) but I am not THAT fussed about going on everything in Tokyo Disneyland - I want to experience it. DisneySea I want to do most in as it is only one in world.

So, my advise would be to think about when you want to visit.
I chose early / middle May after Golden Week - which is a series of public holidays and generally thought to be the worst time to visit as everyone if off on holiday and trains, the parks are mobbed. also I hope the weather will be warm but not boiling hot - summers have heat , humidity and lots of rain!

So, that help?
Any idea what you want to do there, is it just Disney?

the bullet train is fast and efficient. would you be cruising into Japan and flying out again or cruise to Japan as a stopover? What is stopping you flying out from a different airport? That way you can visit multiple centers. Fuji San is a couple of hours from tokyo, then a couple of hours to Kyoto or Osaka, then a couple of hours to Hiroshima.

We have looked at the Norwegian Cruise Line itinerary that sails from Singapore to Tokyo, stopping overnight at Hong Kong and Shanghai.

16 nights in April 2020. We can't do that date but I'm waiting on schedule for 2021, hoping they do the same.

We'd fly to Singapore for a couple of days, cruise then have a week in Tokyo, so looking around 25 to 26 days, work permitting.

Hi we have booked Oct 2020 with celebrity, just really wanted to see Disney in Tokyo 😀 however the cruise does stop off in Korea one day, I’m so excited and nervous I’m normally a USA Disney person with the odd trip to Paris so a big adventure for us 😊

you could visit all the Asian Disney parks during your port visits! We flew to them but my dream would be to do them again on a cruise (especially Disney cruise! ) and you could also visit Universal at Singapore (and have breakfast with Orangutans at Singapore zoo! We like NCL so hope your itinerary comes out for your dates, sounds a great cruise.
