A few q’s.
1. Is Disney Sea a full day or should we plan to be able to fit something else in that day as well
2. Will we regret not going to the Sky Tree even tho we will be going to the Mori building?
3. Should we swap a day so that we move the trip to Fuji Lakes to just before Golden Week?
Thank you for reading!
