Every Indian family who has considered Tokyo Disney asks us the same three questions: will the jet lag ruin it, is the food OK for the kids, and is it worth the cost over Hong Kong. Short answers: no, yes, and it depends.
Day one is not Disney. Stay near Shinjuku, sleep till you wake, visit Shibuya Crossing at golden hour, dinner at an Indian restaurant in Shinjuku (yes, they exist — Moti Indian is a favourite), and bed by 9pm. You will thank us on day two.
Day two: Tokyo Disneyland. Opening hour, single ride to Pooh's Hunny Hunt first, then It's A Small World. The Mickey & Friends greeting in the afternoon is the photograph your kids will show grandparents. Dinner at the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall. Fireworks at 8:30pm then monorail back.
Day three: DisneySea. This is the park Disney adults prefer; your kids will also love it. Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror if your teens are brave. Breakfast at the hotel is cheaper than any food inside the park, so fill up.
Food fears: every restaurant has a kids' menu with rice, noodles, and something fried. Carry a tube of tamarind chutney — it makes Japanese curry rice surprisingly Indian-palatable. The convenience-store 7-Eleven breakfasts are better than most Indian hotel breakfasts. True story.
