By the way how did you decide to do Disney first then your other places?
I didn’t see that but I don’t believe I can get their app. I think it’s only available to Japan residents. I wish I could use it. It would make things so much easier@Haley R did you see this post?
Guests visiting Tokyo Disneyland this summer will be able to utilize the FastPass service via their phones according to asahi.com.

I have an English app that tells me ride wait times and has maps and stuff but it won’t have the fp system. Maybe we can figure something out by changing our IP addressIt's nice to see the improvement!
How do you get the app through a third party?I have the app via a third party distributor. I don't know if it will work but I will try it out in December when I'm there. Even if we can't, I hope local Japanese will use it so the lines for paper FPs will be shorter

Dh has a Samsung so we will probably use his. We won’t worry about it until it gets closer. It’s very possible the FPS on the app won’t be available when we are there. Summer could easily be after beginning of JuneAndroid is pretty straightforward. Just download the APK file and install it (you may need to change some permissions if you've never installed an app using an APK before). You could also use the IP address method if you don't have a payment method linked to your play store account.
If you have an iPhone you'd have to jump through hoops to change your iTunes store location. It's probably easier to set up a new iTunes account on your computer and then transfer the app through there.
You can find tutorials for installing foreign apps all over the internet. Just be aware that you'll have to update manually.
What chase card do you use? United did just change their whole rewards program so it looks a lot different now. We used our chase points and booked an ANA flight through Virgin Atlantic.planning right now for late Oct 2020= so far away! Fly in to Narita on a Friday, stay in Tokyo about a week, with 2 days at TDR Tues/Weds. Then train to Kyoto, hang out there til Monday, then fly Osaka to HK, few days in HK including the Dis park. We live in Florida so get to WDW pretty regularly, but bucket list for all the parks!! You guys have good ideas and plans. Would love to know more about cc points to covers costs of things. I use a Chase card and have bought United tickets with points...just joined HIlton Honors program also...
One big thing- would love to go sooner- but want to avoid Olympics crowds and higher prices- what about May 2020 after Golden week? too much construction in area? prices starting to rise for Olympics??? or late Oct 2019?? worried about rugby crowds and higher prices for things...

Thank you! I'm gonna copy and paste this info in my doc so I don't forget.If you're using the Google play store for apps, you can set up a new email account and set it to Japan (you can use a foreign credit card for payments) and then toggle between accounts in the play store so you can install Japan only or US apps on a single device.

Hilton is a strange company. Wouldn't put too much stock in what their website says.I've been looking at our dates for Hilton Tokyo Bay because we had some extra points to add to our reservation and the whole hotel is sold out for our dates. I hope that doesn't mean it's going to be busy when we're there.
