Our trip is less than three months' away now. We have our flights and accommodation booked as follows:
Flights: Flying Jetstar to Narita through the Gold Coast. After changing our flights. We were originally going through Cairns, but they changed our departure time to 6am Didn't think we could manage that with the boys. Arriving at Narita at 7:05pm
Return flight on Jetstar, through Cairns. We fly out at 9pm and I have my fingers crossed that the boys will sleep for most of the flight(s) home.
AccommodatIon: May 18 - May 25 Hilton Tokyo Bay. Got the 18 800 Yen deal through the UK site thanks to Keith
May 25th: Hotel Mira Costa in a partial view Port Paridiso room Can't wait for that
We are only doing Disney for the trip. 7 days, maybe 8. We figure it will be hard enough getting to and from Disney with the boys without lugging them to other destinations. It's a shame because we really liked what we saw in Japan last time and would have liked to have seen more. Maybe when the boys are older....
So far we have no ground transportation booked, but we're thinking of going with Sandie's recommendation of the Tokyo Airporter on the way to our hotel. Even though it will cost us a small fortune, we figure it will be worth it with no hassle getting the kids to the hotel with dragging them through train stations etc. Besides, this way they will have car seats for them and everything.
That's it so far. I have the boys passport photos ready, but we had to reorder Ben's birth certificate because I can't find it anywhere! His passport photo looks like a toddler mug shot
