Such a fun park - and much different than any other Disney park we've been to. If you only have time for one Disney park, I'd suggest this one.

Tokyo Tower
One of the few animal cafes that allows young children. The issue you run into with a lot of the animal cafes is that children have to be above a certain age. My kids really enjoyed this (and so did we).

BAGAIL 8 Set Packing Cubes for Travel-Cream

Everywhere Belt Bag 1L
I pack these no matter where I'm traveling. They're light-weight, great for airplane travel and/or walking. Super comfortable but have just enough embellishment to make you look a bit more put together than if you were simply wearing leggings. The ma...
