Pack layers, and you can always remove a jacket or sweater but going around freezing is miserable if you don't pack enough. Rain is a possibility, but it shouldn't be VERY rainy given past trends. Good luck with the rest of your answers, I hope some folks will chime in although the Tokyo section can be pretty slow unfortunately. Sorry I don't have any other answers but I'm not too familiar with the current character situation or the dining stuff. I would say that, in my experience the only holiday costumed characters are in shows and parades, so I wouldn't count on getting any personal picks on that front (the characters are always around though, all over the place, so you're sure to run into a bunch of them in the course of your travels). I could be wrong on that, though, as I generally avoid the parks during the holidays lately (too cold, too crowded lol).

However they do change marginally from year to year. You going next week? <<2, mickey and company dinner show, can you get photos with the characters after it like you can at the polynesion? What is the cost?>> No. The characters don't come out after the curtain call. I think it is still 4,800 Yen for adults. It does sell out so pre-book if you can. <<3.

They can't reduce the price or anything so just order what you want.

The CDs are up to 5,500 Yen now I believe. You can still get your own digital photos printed in the park with the special border. <<7 check mickey, i believe donald is the chef at nights then, how much is a meal there?>> You mean Chef Mickey's at the Ambassador? That is nearly 5,000 Yen for the dinner buffet.
