I'm traveling with 4 children for 5 days...disneyland, downtown tokyo, kyoto, kyoto and tokyo back to airport. is the jr pass the best option for this trip?
The JR Pass is a good way to save you from the trouble of having to purchase tickets at the station. It would cover you for your trip to and from Kyoto, as well as from Tokyo station to Tokyo Disneyland. You can even use it on local JR lines. If you're visiting the main sites in Tokyo, the JR Pass is perfect for the Yamanote line.
If you have any children five and under, they will be able to travel for free. Children aged 6-11 benefit from a discount. Please feel free to have a look at our prices here:
If you were not to purchase the JR Pass, depending on how you plan your days however, there is also the option of buying day tickets. You can find prices and more information here:

Your most expensive journey will be between Tokyo and Kyoto, which will cost you roughly about $236 return for a single ticket.
I hope this has given you enough information and options to help you come to a decision.
