Tokyo Disney 2020 is a Go!

I just booked my trip to Tokyo, Japan! I've been obsessing over Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea for months, and now it's really happening!

I'll be staying on-property at the Hilton Tokyo Bay, which was unexpected. It was the main hotel I was looking at based on recommendations from other blogs, but I felt it was too expensive and a little boring. However, it popped up as the Travelocity deal of the day (I know, I know, they do that to get you to book!), so I just went for it. My mom also feels much better knowing I'll be staying on-property rather than somewhere cheaper a little further away. I must admit, I feel a little better too.

But, I'm super nervous now! This is really happening! I'm going to Japan! I've never been out of the country before, so this is going to be a whole new experience for me. And if all goes well, I'll book that HalloXmas trip for later in the year. But definitely staying somewhere cheaper and more centralized, since I'll be sightseeing.

Reflections on Blogging From A to Z Challenge

I almost survived! I totally dropped the ball on the last two letters. Partly because I didn't have topics, and partly because I went back to work and completely forgot that I never came up with topics. Oopsie. But I'm proud of what I did finish! 24 posts on my favorite places in the world!

Will I participate again next year? I'm not sure. Probably not. I honestly don't think I could think of 26 new topics that fit my blog theme. But I mainly participated just to get this blog rolling and build up content. It was fun while it lasted and served its purpose!

HalloXmas Plans

Either in 2020 or 2021, I will be taking a two week trip to Japan in order to enjoy the Tokyo Disney Resort during Halloween and Christmas! Hence, HalloXmas (thanks to DisneyTouristBlog for that term). I've always wondered if it was possible, and it is! It just takes a little planning. Of course, I originally wondered about it in regards to Disneyland. But given my quest to visit every single Disney park during every season, I think it makes sense to do this at the park furthest from home.

My current plan is to spend 4 days at the parks for Halloween (10/28-10/31), then spend a week or so sightseeing and exploring Tokyo and the surrounding areas. Then I'll head back to the parks around 11/7 for four days of yuletide bliss!

Have you ever experienced two seasons in one trip at a Disney resort?
