Reply To: How Far In Advance to Plan for 2025 World Expo in Osaka
First, yes, I know the dates (April 13-October 13, 2025). If I go during my actual birthday, that would put me there in the summer. But, I don’t want to be there when it’s hot and muggy. I’ve been to humid places in the summer not by choice and I refuse to do that again! So, I’m open to other dates. But, it would also depend on whoever goes with me to assist me and their schedule.
I don’t know yet how many days I want to stay in each city. I figured Tokyo Disney would be 3-4 days. I can skip Universal Studios Japan in Osaka since I live in Los Angeles and can go to Universal here.
I just wanted to get some idea of a planning timeline because I’m going to have to fundraise to afford it. Thanks for the tips!
