FAO and Toys R Us are similar enough and I think FAO is more unique except for the mini ferris wheel. Well, they also have a big video game section.
My thoughts, too.
If this is a schedule that suits your family, knock yourself out. But I don't see this as a lot of fun. No one wants a vacation that seems like the Bataan Death March. I understand that you can drop things from the itinerary if you're having a ball one place or another, but it seems like an aggressive plan.
