Tokyo trip in Dec

Hi I'll be visiting Tokyo from 16 Dec to 22 Dec 07 & have following queries:
1) since 17 & 18 Dec are not Winter school holidays, will Disneyland & DisneySea be usually crowded on these 2 days?
2) I'll be travelling within Tokyo region during my 6 days there. Is it worthwhile to buy the JR pass or no need?
3) For children, is it sufficient just to wear long john, followed by a knitted sweater then a down filled jacket as outer wear OR do I need to add another layer of clothing before putting on the knitted sweater?
4) understand that sunset in Dec is around 4.30pm. Does it mean that the sky will turn dark at around 4.30pm?
Thanks.

No, it is probably not very crowded, relatively speaking.
I'll be travelling within Tokyo region during my 6 days there. Is it worthwhile to buy the JR pass or no need?
Certainly not! The Japan Rail Pass only makes sense if you make long distance trips.
4) understand that sunset in Dec is around 4.30pm. Does it mean that the sky will turn dark at around 4.30pm?
Tokyo is not on a very northern latitude, so the sunset process takes relatively little time. It starts to get a little bit darker before the sun sets, but then it takes some more time until it gets completely dark. I never measured the actual time it takes. Of course, it also depends on weather conditions.

Hi, a lot of children in Tokyo wear just short-pants even in winter. In tokyo they can always go indoors if they feel cold. In December, the temperature gets fairy warm during the day if sunny. They may feel cold in the morning or at night. In late December it gets quite dark around 5pm.

Apologies. Reference to my question no. 2, what I meant is it worth to buy JR East Pass, not JR pass?
If not, is it recommended to buy any kind of pass for travelling on the JR within Tokyo or Greater Tokyo?

It depends on how many days you require for your trip and on where you start and end your trip. Also, I am afraid, I don't know Lake Kawakura.
