It also wants a phone number that is in a different format than mine? Please tell me what you did and if it worked! Thank you so much!
We're not going until the beginning of Feb. I've spoken to a Japanese colleague about it, who said that the name was fine but hasn't [yet] opined on the phone number. My worry is that it said something about the tickets being delivered by mobile/needing a mobile for the park tickets. If that's literally delivered via SMS/MMS then it's going to be an issue, if it's just "you'll need a smartphone to display the ticket" [likely meaning it arrives by email] then not a problem.
I believe it was free to cancel until three weeks out, so I'm hoping to figure out more before that point!
