some do but based on what i observed they more likely to serve tamago than chawamushi so you need to choose your eatery wisely cos most of them quite long queue

i went to sushizanmai and ordered teriyaki cod fish for my son while we ate sashimi / sushi ... .. and my 14month gal still in lala land when we eat :rotflmao:

You're back! You didn't go to Isetan supermarket at the basement? There's one at Taka too, right? Keio and Odakyu don't have I recall.

Btw, there're a lot of Wakodo baby porridge at Meiyi-da. I just went there last week...

Thanks ptb7476

I am thinking of staying at Chiba area and driving to Mother Farm. Is it worth the cost to do that for a day? What are the recommmended car rental co and where should we collect and return the car?

For eg if we stay at Hilton Tokyo Bay, will it be near to Takashimaya there?

[angeltngthan]

If i should just go Disneyland only and wait till the kids are older to go Disneysea? What is your advice?

Of course you may. Please check the website for child's height limits. If your younger one cannot even take 50% of the rides at Disney, why not include Disneysea? Disneysea is mostly look see look see.

As for Tokyo Bay which is where Maihama station is to Shinjuku Times Square Takashimaya, it's going to take you 45min on the train + 15 min of transit/waiting.

Most people prefer to stay in downtown hotels, as they need to shop. They only commute to Tokyo Bay and spend a day or at most two at Disneyland and no more. It's cheaper however to stay at Tokyo Bay.

my kids enjoyed disneyland a lot at 6 and 11 yo .
U must plan your day, wat are the top rides u want to go for
then get the free FASTPASS once u enter the park and go for other rides
we focused a lot on rides and makan the lil yummy snacks in the park , some parades ( in winter, there are a few parades a day including a grand finale in night under the stars) . I feel no point spending my time to take photos with characters inJapan disney as the Japanese are ga-ga over this, the Q can be v v long )
My top choice ride is Space Mountain - same as California experince -v gd v dark , cannot predict the turns
Star rides - (starwar 4D - there are two different rides - left and right theatre- go for both - V good)
Haunted castle - hilariously cute rides

Cinderella Castle is beautiful - u can go inside and wear the glass slippers and sit on the throne

food here is v reasonably priced due to our exchg rate and lots of cute bakery (compared to Hk one)

Ht restriction here is abt 112cm , even for space mountain - but i feel some 112cm kids may not able to take the heart plunging moment. my dd was exceptional coz ds \"bribed\" her with two cute chip n dale in order to take the rides as a family - i felt \"sorry\" for her then :evil:
