Tokyo is finally starting to make some sense now that I've researched it a bit. It's definitely a very different kind of city. My main dilemma right now is where to stay. We'll probably stay a total of nine or ten nights. Hopefully, two or three of those will be at a Disney hotel.
I'm undecided as to what district to stay in. I've realized that my hotel budget is unrealistic for what we want, and I've had to double it. Asiarooms.com has lots of four star hotels for under $200, though. Careful research is needed, however, because it seems as though rooms vary widely within one price range. It would be nice if I could find a room at the Park Hyatt for under $250, because then I could fulfill my dream of reenacting Lost In Translation, but that probably won't happen. I haven't seen rooms for under $400.
My main fear is of the oh so complex subway and train stations. I can just see myself getting lost over and over. The airfare situation is looking up. I've found pretty good prices for random dates on Hotwire. Another bright spot is that you don't pay for very much for kids under 4 in Japan. And the baby will fly free. Which is a good thing because my hotel costs are going to be so stinking high.
Anyways, just a random update. All opinions still appreciated.
