Hi all,

As you are probably all aware, Jon and I just spent the last two weeks on our crazy world trip to California and Japan. The trip mostly consisted of going to the Disney Parks in Anaheim and Tokyo, but also had some other diversions thrown in for good measure.

Over the coming days I will be posting a number of articles relating to our trip(s) here on the blog. I have decided to do more than just the normal trip report this time as we covered so much, and as Tokyo was a brand new destination for us I have a lot to write about it!

Coming articles this week will include:

General trip reports for California and Tokyo (rides, shows experienced and characters met, and other points to note).

World of Color report for California Adventure (now up)

Construction update for Cars Land and the Little Mermaid attraction (now up)

Shopping and Dining at Tokyo Disney Resort

Meeting Characters at Tokyo Disney Resort

Tokyo Disney Resort overall impressions, thoughts and feelings (there is quite a lot to say about the Resort overall - it was a very different place!)

Impressions of the individual parks at Tokyo Disney Resort (Disneyland and Disney Sea - describing, comparing and contrasting them to the other Parks around the world); thought, feelings and other points to note.

Tips for tackling Tokyo Disney Resort - trip planning advice, hints and tips on what to do and where to go when the crowds are up and the weather is hot, and other points to note.

These articles may be slightly different once I start writing them, and may end up combining several articles; we’ll see what happens, but that should give you an idea of what to expect in the coming days.

There is so much to write about for this trip that I hardly know where to begin! We had and awesome time, albeit very tiring.

Don’t forget, as promised before we went away I have some more articles to come on hints and tips for meeting Disney characters at the US and Paris Parks, too.

Dan.
