Visiting All 12 Disney Parks in 2022

In Fall of 2022, I want to visit all 12 of the Disney parks worldwide in one trip. Crazy? Yes. But I've been thinking a lot about this, and I want to do it. I'd love to do it this year, but of course, with the pandemic going on, that is not going to be happening.

I'm still trying to get to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea after my May trip was cancelled. 2021 would be a good time to reschedule, but will travel restrictions be lifted by then? Will the parks be fully operational? Who knows, but I doubt it.

My tentative plan for now is to start in Disneyland on my birthday in mid-October and spend two days there. Then I'll fly off to Shanghai and Hong Kong and spend two or three days in each park, before arriving in Tokyo at the end of October.

I'll go to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea for Halloween, then sightsee for the next week or two before the park switches to Christmas. This will help me with my ultimate goal of visiting all of the parks for all major seasons. In mid-November, I'll go to Paris and spend three or four days there, and then end my trip with 4-6 days in Disney World for Christmas! Depending on exactly how many days I spend in each park, I should be home by Thanksgiving. Or the week after at the latest. That's about 6 glorious weeks of Disney vacation magic!

This trip is going to be exhausting, but probably the most fun I'll ever have in my life.

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!
