You decision with the train pass should be made base on whether you are going to Osaka or not. What are some of your interest? Osaka is a big city, you probably want to go there if you are into specialty food, there are tones and tones of good food in Osaka, otherwise, it has nothing more than what Tokyo or Yokohama can offer. For a 10 day trip, I would do the following:
- 2 days Kyoto
- 1 day Nara and Fushimi Inari
- 1 or 2 days Osaka
- 1 day Yokohama
- Remaining Days Tokyo
Disney is much smaller than the one in North America, so if you've been to the one in Orlando or in LA, I won't bother going there. Again, depending on what you are interested in seeing/doing, the above may not be of interest to you at all
December should be around -2 to -8 with some minor snow, but its not too bad. Most people can survive with a nice jacket, a scarf, gloves and sweater
No comment on Christmas, decorations are all over the place, but being a Shinto and Buddism country, there are little celebration. Sightseeing you can do at Daiba, for a nice dinner, do it in Ginza.
Football (We call it Soccer in North America), there should be a roof top stadium (If i remember correctly) around Shibuya or Shinjuku, you may be able to just watch and see if they will let you join in a friendly game. But I cannot confirm that
