That is my itinerary plan currently and im just wondering if i can use JR Pass on all of them. I have check using Hyperdia and mostly i will be using Hikari and other Shinkansen like Hokuto, Kodama, and Hayabusa.
Im mainly worried if i can use Hayabusa with National JR Pass or not.
Is JR pass train easy to find in Tokyo as well?
Regards,
Chris

You can use your 14-day JR Pass for every leg of your itinerary as described (including use of the Hayabusa train), except for the trip to Tokyo Disney Resort, which is at least only reachable via a line other than JR. By the time you go to Disney, though, you would have already doubled the value of your pass.
When in the city, JR Pass valid trains are easy to distinguish from other services when you're aware of JR stations and you know what lines are part of the JR network.
For getting to Disneyland, see their access page:
