Itinerary

Hi all!

My wife and I are doing our first trip to Japan in a month. I have done a lot of diligent research and have put together the following itinerary. As its a month away, the dates are set in stone with hotels BUT can change daily activities if it don't work too well.

Background: Wife owns a sewing business and loves to sew, hence Nippori fabric town on last day. I am a teacher that is a huge nerd with electronics, gaming, pokemon, and have always been in love with Japanese culture. We are also both huge Disney nerds, hence the 3 days at disneyland and disneysea. My questions are, is it feasible? Anything to add? Change? Takeaway? Please let me know and thanks for your input!
