    Thank you for this! This is probably the most comprehensive video I've seen about traveling to Japan/Tokyo, Tokyo DL/DS, and Star Wars Celebration all in one video. I am a Disney Adult and a Star Wars fan so this was very useful 🙏. I have tickets for Star Wars Celebration next year, and will also be in Japan in June (next month) for my Obaachan's 100th birthday, so I figure I'd make a trip to DL and DS (if I can get tickets this late), but with Fantasy Springs opening it sounds like I will need 2 days at Disney Sea instead of just one.. If not I can save it for next year! Anyway sorry for all my babbling, just wanted to say this video was perfect timing for me! 😊

    My boyfriend is allergic to peanuts tree nuts, etc., with the allergy card. You just hand it to them and they let you know what you can eat or how does that work exactly? We are going to take two EpiPen just in case .

    Yes, it can work that way! I personally have not used the allergy card, but have used a similar vegan card for people I was traveling with before- and at restaurants they either picked out a few things from the menu and then showed the card to staff and asked if those dishes were vegan, or just went straight in and showed the card first to asked what items on the menu were vegan. If you decide to pick up snacks or foods at convenience/grocery stores I also recommend using Google translate to check the ingredients labels, and to show the allergy card to the store clerk as well. Hope this is helpful, and hope you have a fantastic Japan trip!
