Busy Bee posted:Are the flights booked together or separately? If separate, 1.5 hrs seems very tight considering the flight from the states to Haneda could be delayed. It was booked together all with ANA. I’m thinking of rebooking to a flight with a 3.5 hour layover. Also, FWIW, as a Disneyworld passholder, I loved Disneysea. It’s my personal favorite park. But not really because of the rides. I like a good coaster and all, but rides are tertiary compared to vibes and food for me.

KidDynamite posted:i don't get the disney sea hype. the closing show was baller but most of the rides had insane waits(which we either paid to cut, or went on the MUCH shorter single rider line) and were kind of tame. aesthetic was on point but after getting there a little before opening i was aesthetic-ed out by noon. You don't go for the rides. If that was your goal, you did it wrong. E: you did see Big Band Beat, right? Right? You did go to Tokyo Disney Sea, and see the best show at any Disney park. Right? It's not the only reason to go. You also go just to wander around and enjoy the place. Maybe do a ride of two. But just relax and enjoy the place.

If you miss your connecting flight it's the airline's and they will compensate you. And the people on the connecting flight has the passenger list of the first flight and will usually wait for you, unless the delay on the first place is ridiculous.

Disneyland Japan and Disney Sea are both pretty bad imho. They feel void, empty, soulless. Disney Sea in particular feels like a half-baked attempt at Disney but ended up coming off closer to the bad imitation in Korea: Lotteworld. I went to Disneyland in Anaheim after going to Disney Japan with my wife a bunch of times and it was just a richer and more detailed place, with more to see and do. I think that's what you get when the hype and fandom of Disney is so strong before the parks were even built - and they built it to accommodate those people. As others said, you don't go for the rides (because there's only like 3 actual "rides" there anyways). There's some decent theme parks in Japan. Universal Japan is alright and Fuji-Q Highland has shorter lines and bigger rides.

Asteroid Alert posted:Just a gentle reminder that don't be an rear end in a top hat in Japan. Or anywhere. Some of the comments nailed it, that’s a 40-something Peter Pan still working entry level at an eikaiwa to pay for a lovely apartment he probably tries to take college girls back to. If I ran into that I’d probably tell him to turn that poo poo off, put a mask on and stop being an rear end in a top hat. The fact that any of the Japanese dudes on the train did anything should be a sign that he Really Pissed Them Off.

so from the last time we stayed here the tobu levant no longer does an airport shuttle. lol lmao. my wife didn't check this when she booked and assumed everything was running as usual. now we have to figure out how the gently caress to get to the airport with 4 luggages(2 souvenir and stuff we want bought here). my plan is pack everything and ship it to the airport by noon thursday and grab the train from kinshicho station with our back packs as much as that will suck. any possibilities that are easier than that?

I am assuming Narita but you could take a cab(or two) to Tokyo station and take the NEX or a bus to the airport. You could also go to Ueno and take the Skyliner. If you are going to Haneda then you can take a cab to Hamamatsucho and get the Monorail from there. Two suitcases per person isn't the end of the world and the trains that go to the airport give people a lot of time to board.

Might be a little late but you could cancel your hotel tomorrow night(Wednesday) and I can come help you haul things out here and you can crash tomorrow, and I'll help you take your stuff to the airport on Thursday. I don't have any plans for the next two days and I enjoy having guests.

Most taxis have a flat-rate airport service, you can expect to pay around 8000 yen (may vary by time, vehicle size, Haneda/Narita, etc). Your hotel can book it for you.

And from memory the NEX is like 3200/person, so that’s not a bad extra charge to have the convenience of a ride straight to the airport.

I think the Keisei Skyliner is even cheaper at about 2k jpy though it doesn't take you all the way to Shinjuku. Very close to Ueno, though.

22k flat rate to NRT is not too bad from the city. That place is far. https://s.klook.com/c/13r9y0 It’s a nicer Alphard , not sure if it’s cheaper?
