Pre-Trip Report: Katie’s Star Wars Celebration Trip (April 2025)

Katie is new to the podcast and coming to you all the way from the U.K. to talk about her upcoming trip to Tokyo with her husband Adam and brother-in-law Ryan.  This trip was initially planned to attend the big Star Wars Celebration expo that was scheduled to be in Japan in 2025, but of course it’s hard to think about traveling that far and not stopping by Toyko Disneyland, Tokyo Disney Sea, and Universal Studios Japan!  With so much to see and do in Japan, outside of their park and expo time they are prioritizing time in Kyoto, trying as much of the fresh Japanese cuisine as they can lay their hands on, and visiting at least one shrine.
