Personally I belive Tokyo DisneySea is the best Disney Park in the WORLD. Don’t worry I’ll explain why, we also do a Q&A about Tokyo Disneyland from your questions on instagram.

[Music] good morning good afternoon good night everybody it’s our last day in Tokyo and we had to go back to Tokyo Disney SE literally it’s my favorite Park and I also think it’s the best Disney park in the world and I’ll get into that a little bit later but right now it’s 8:30 this is what the line Looks like trying to get in because of fasy Springs you want to scan in as quick as possible to get a standby uh entrance to go to the new land I’ve made two videos about that already so if you want to get more information about it go watch it but I will be answering some of your questions from Instagram today it’s going to be a fun day hopefully chill do some things I haven’t done yet for our last day it is a sunny one which is good but also bad I enjoyed the cloudiness something else to point out this morning is that because we’re getting here 30 minutes before Park open obviously there’s a lot more people I’m curious to see on a weekday can we actually get access into Fantasy Springs if we pull up right before Park open my best recommendation is definitely stay in one of the hotels get a vacation package you don’t want to do this if you don’t have to 8:41 we’re moving in I will be really shocked if we can actually get into Fantasy Springs today at 845 they’re letting people into the actual Park and scan so if you’re coming here early just know that usually lets you in anywhere from 15 to potentially even 20 minutes early I’ve seen it differ each day this is a bad situation to be in tons of people are going by us right now and we can’t go through the gate because we have too many strollers so we’re just sitting ducks even though I probably don’t have to get beeped or anything I’m very fortunate that I’ve been able to go to Fantasy Springs two times already so I honestly won’t be disappointed if I can’t get in you can see everyone is uh looking to get stuff on their app right now last scanning of my trip come on if it works nice good all Gotto thank you let’s see what we can get okay everybody I’m pleased to announce that I was able to get a standby for Peter Pan at 2:45 I saw tinks for 6 but Peter Pan’s cool too honestly I just wanted to get a ride so I can get into the land and eat some of that delicious Lookout cookout food again and I was able to get a entrance to one of the shows they have here you only get one chance to day I tried to get it last time and I couldn’t so I’m glad it’s going to be a fun day it’s a Tuesday everybody still a lot of people coming in right now now again this is still the first week or so of Fantasy Springs being open but I think it’s going to always kind of Be At This Crowd level so definitely still try to come before Park open think about it before 9:00 the pass for Peter Pan is already at 3:00 now don’t get me wrong they open up passes throughout the day but I feel like that’s something you don’t want to rely on if you’re flying all the way out here just to come to this park this this is cool I’ve never noticed this before and remember weekends are going to be much more busier so weekends I definitely say get here earlier like probably 7 maybe even 6:30 just to be safe dreaming of Fantasy Springs this is legitimately the best addition to a theme park I’ve ever experienced in all of Disney in all of like theme parks in general we’ll see how epic Compares obviously epic’s a little different though it’s a full-on theme park this is just a land in an established theme park so on this trip I prioritized coming to the parks more I feel like last time I did half Disney Parks half the city but because I’m by myself I didn’t really feel like going out into the city alone there’s a lot of things I want to experience but I know I’ll be back with friends and loved on so we’ll hold off on those experiences until then I figured why not really just get down into the details of Tokyo Disneyland for you guys answer some questions and hopefully help some of you guys plan your own vacation also fit check I am all Fantasy Spring de I love these shirts this is a medium and the way it’s made is it’s kind of larger and I’m all about that Vibe right now I love the color I’m happy the only thing I forgot today was my sunglasses unfortunately one question I got a lot on Instagram is how’s the weather this has been the best weather I’ve ever seen in Tokyo normally it’s like really cloudy when I was here in January like during the winter it got pretty pretty cold but right now uh blue skies no problems it does get really hot a lot of people carry umbrellas around here to block the Sun so I would definitely recommend that if you want to carry around an item when you’re in the shade like right now it’s not bad but waiting in lons out in the heat it can get pretty rough I’ve experienced some rain here and there on these trips but it’s never been like Florida where it’s like a monsoon it’s been more just comes and goes every day on my trip there was about a 40 to 50 % chance of rain it only rained once and it happened at night time Tokyo’s balloons have like a signature difference to them I feel like they’re a little skinnier at the bottom honestly these balloons are super cute and for the rest of this video I will not be saying cute I will be saying Kawaii that means cute another question I got asked a lot was how much was my ticket I was personally purchasing off an app called cluke and my tickets are anywhere from $57 up to $63 which is not bad at all now if you go to the vacation package they will give you the tickets you can also buy tickets at your Tokyo Disney Resorts but from my knowledge you can’t get like a multi-day you can’t get a park hopper and honestly these are both full Park days I don’t really recommend trying to park hop from one to another you can they have a uh train system that goes to Tokyo Disneyland Tokyo Disneyland Resorts and Downtown Disney area but you’re better off just staying in one Park trust me always making new friends what’s your name Liz and where are you guys from New York that’s crazy so y’all watch the Vlogs that’s nuts that I didn’t meet you in Orlando but I met you all the way in Japan yeah and I was actually just in Orlando before we came on this trip no way which is crazy so did you get a standby queue for today yes we did for the Rapunzel ride exting that’s exciting it’s a good ride and what time 5:00 we be here for a while yeah it’s not a bad thing though first time in the Park first time I love that in Japan oh my gosh well welcome thank you we’re so happy to meet you yeah you guys are going to have a great day honestly hey if you drink or if you like mocktails Teddy Roosevelt’s Lounge it’s that’s where we were going right no way it’s all working out it’s a little yeah it’s in the ship it’s a little strange a lot of Teddy roselt but it’s like kind of funny especially if you’re from New York it’s like fun you’ll have a good time awesome we’re excited we started our trip at Food Truck red we’re going to end our trip at food truck red getting the white wine with fruits Peach once again oh my goodness someone asked me about rare characters these are some right here this the orista cats we got Marie over there too let’s get a closer look oh my goodness look how cute what the heck and of course there’s Marie she’s so fun you can’t meet her in uh Orlando wow [Applause] they’re just roaming right now you have a good day bye that’s so cute some people don’t even like to take pictures with characters they just pose them for their portraits oh my gosh and you can’t forget about our favorite dog Pluto he’s so cute look they’re so animated I love that good morning Pluto hey good to see you you’re my favorite dog high five you have a good day okay definitely recommend this cart also the friends I made we’re hanging out for a little bit we were chatting talking up you said they announced a new Disney park yes oh my God please somebody fact check me I don’t want to be embarrassed could you imagine they called me out I woke up this morning and I saw it on 4 like they’re announcing a new park I’m not sure I hope so it’s funny I just mentioned epic Disney needs to compete with them somehow epic’s going to be epic but Disney’s might be uh I don’t know magical disne to like step it up a bit Disney’s Magical Adventure I don’t know we’ll see also I’m going to try to go on this today that that could be fun I love how they uh give us little spoons it’s sangria but smart I think some people won’t like Tokyo Disney C off the bat because it doesn’t really look like a Disney theme park but that’s what I love you can find that the touches of Disney but there are some places where the architecture has to do more with the world than Disney and I’m okay with that this is such a unique and different park it has the characteristics of fun characters for the little kids it has some big thrill rides like journey into the sense of the earth Tower Terror and now it has Fantasy Springs where if you were mad that there wasn’t enough Disney in Tokyo Disney C Fantasy Springs does a great job of encompassing so many different IPS from the beginning of Disney’s history to like right now with Frozen and Rapunzel it’s it’s dope guys it’s this is literally the best park that’s my opinion about I mean Marie is still walking around over there it’s awesome like I like this park Mor in Tokyo Disneyland Tokyo Disneyland is just so similar to Magic Kingdom it’s different in a lot of ways and I’m always going to love that Tokyo dis Disneyland does some stuff crazy good even like the country bears at the end of the day if I had to pick one for the rest of my life it would definitely be this park over the other one first question from bkc 71 where is Christa this is a great question not just because it’s about Christa but pertaining to all my friends this is my work everybody it cost $1,500 estimated to fly here that’s before part tickets fast passes food my friends have real jobs I am fortunate enough that I can pick up and go when I want but my friends can’t take off one of these days I do plan on coming here with Christa and other friends but right now it’s just me and ta was able to come because she is also a full-time content creator not everyone has the same luxury to just call off work whenever so yeah that’s why I missed them though I’m excited to see them when I get back car last is Tokyo Disneyland the best and cleanest Park I really think think it is the best Disney park they just are so kind and caring but some people might not like that when you go on certain rides you want to scream when you’re watching Fantasmic you like to clap shout woo but people don’t do that everyone’s very quiet and like you know wo it’s just based in their culture which is fine personally I love this park I wouldn’t get rid of Walt Disney World like if I could stay at One Park for the rest of my life it would be Walt Disney World it’s literally the epicenter of everything Disney every other Park tries to recreate the experience that Orlando already provides but outside of Walt Disney World this is definitely 100% the best park there’s so many good rides you heard my rants before now between them Tokyo Disney SE wins for me also yes it is very clean but one thing that kind of bothers me is that there’s not as many trash cans they don’t follow the rule where like if you see a trash can you can walk to another one sometimes I’ve spent at least two to four minutes of looking for a trash can which sounds not that long but when you’re used to Walt Disney World there’s always a trash can Rachel says did you do an entry request if so how does it work I’ve talked in detail about this but long story short you download the Tokyo Disneyland app and then you’ll be able to scan your ticket once your ticket is connected to the app and after you scan in you can make standby queue entries you can make entries for the shows and also uh Premier you know lightning Lane stuff Mel from Orlando ask how is the language barrier it’s not bad at all there’s a decent amount of cast members here who have broken English which is good but honestly just get Google translate it’s really easy to write in like where is this and it can show you or you can just point it on the map and everyone usually knows where to go and if you are talking to a cast member who doesn’t know English you can walk to another cast member one of them will know English or at least enough to point you in the right direction I’ve had zero issues here I feel like the only time I have issues is when I’m trying to talk to people out of courtesy like I’m standing next to a trash can right now a lot of people stand here and wait for me to move cuz they think I’m trying to use the trash can and I’m like no no no no it’s okay you can come and and they just don’t understand that I’m like hey I’m just standing in the corner here I’m not using this trash can if that makes sense but overall language barrier is not an issue Sho I don’t struggle with it I struggled with it in Shanghai but here you’re good everyone’s super nice and I mean again it’s crazy how us at a basic level human beings just body language does so much thumbs up x uh Kawaii cutes it’s it’s easy guys you won’t have an issue Jay Hernandez ask how far are the parks away from each other how’d you get there Uber yeah so my Airbnb is about 15 minutes away from both parts it’s pretty cheap to get here but going from both parks they do provide a train I wouldn’t recommend Park hopping but they are very close on the map they’re actually connected but as guest we don’t have access to that so you would have to leave the park Uber which is going to be about a 5 to 10 minute drive depending on traffic they have a curry hot dog booth are you joking I’m definitely getting the Peter Pan quick service today look out cookout but darn it everything Curry is so good this place so cool check out Mick Ducks department store it’s all about money here I love the design of this o we got Duffy and Friends merchandise they do have a Duffy and friends show here which I’ll try to see if I can grab a spot for it might be too late because Duffy is uh very very popular look at these ears too Duffy and friends we love the Scrooge McDuck representation so this is where all the Duffy and Friends merchandise is huh little bit of some lore here I believe I can’t read it though they got big Duffy for 13,000 Yen did Mickey gift Duffy to Minnie as a present when I first came to Tokyo Disney C I thought it was so strange but in the coolest way that they had a volcano instead of like a castle it literally shoots fire at nighttime and after going to all the other International parks which has very similar Vibes to either Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom this place sticks out in such a positive way you need to come here look at this place they have freaking boats no seriously you can go on a gondola ride like you’re in Venice or Las Vegas either or we won’t be going on the ship today but Teddy I’ll miss you shout out Teddy also look at this it’s the Disney SE electric Railway hello hello hey we got some waves hello realistically I would say two Park days for each park or maybe three Park days and then you pick two days for your favorite Park between the big crowds and everything there is to do two days is your safest bet especially because there are some lotteries when it comes to the shows slash Fantasy Springs you might not be able to physically do everything even if you try your best and wake up super early now getting a resort or a vacation package will definitely make that less stressful and make it easier for you to do everything in one day so keep that in mind but for someone like me who’s at an Airbnb two Park days for each Park was a good amount if you’re lucky sometimes you can catch Captain Jack Sparrow roaming about here they have a full on pirate ship you can take pictures in front of and this is actually a restaurant there are a ton of places to eat and drink in Tokyo Disney see here we got the smoked turkey Lake and Karin Ichiban giraffe that’s like literally the only beer they serve it’s a light beer gets the job done it’s good yeah beautiful sceneries though places to take pictures bring some Polaroid cameras you won’t go wrong the restaurant’s called menellin and the thing about this place is that it’s a set of food you can’t just order something off a menu they have specific melin and a kids menu maybe we’ll come back here at the end of the night if they have any opening our first ride of the day 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea this is a fun one out 30 minute Waits but I did use a 40th anniversary priority pass AKA you can pick a ride that is like normally not a fast pass line and if they have any available slots you can pick it up I don’t know how long that’s going to go on definitely Google search the 40th anniversary but right now yeah basically it’s a free fast pass you can find it through the app 20,000 Le Under the Sea okay awesome thank you so much here we go I will say it’s been a little bit harder to get Priority Access tickets just because of how quick things sell out in the morning with crowds but if you know what you’re doing there’s a lot of rides you can skip the weight times 4 right now at least it’s pretty busy 30 minute wait looks a little bit longer we have to scan a second time here we go hello there we go this is what the 40th anniversary priority pass looks like it’s right next to Disney premere access this ride is so cool I love the ride vehicles for it look at them they’re going underwater we got number one yippe oh goodbye look at that if you have fear of claustrophobia maybe not do this ride it’s a little tight all that being said our Uber has arrived oh they got to open the door oh nice thank you ducking in here [Music] fore speee [Music] [Music] you can control the lights oh yeah look at that it’s fun being able to control another interactive what is going on over here everybody do you see anything what’s my left over here to oh is that fishies I see fishies look I see what’s going [Music] on this is so fun found some wait that person was alive that person was alive oh we [Music] found captain Oh no got [Music] [Music] to shot the [Music] octopus it’s interesting cuz everyone sitting gets a different view so you see something different [Music] [Music] hello little guys [Music] [Music] what is that what is that thing [Music] hello amazing oh gosh it stopped so fast oh I know thaty hiding over there everything is [Music] shaking what the [Music] heck hello hi guy I think we’re stuck at least we get to see this alien more byebye I’m going to call him Billy I love this ride it really makes you feel like you go in the water do we go in water I’m actually not too sure and I don’t want to know I don’t want to ruin the magic I decided to swing into that castle real quick where the restaurant was it’s pretty elaborate like look at all this can we look in here together oh my gosh whoa a quick Vibe change from going under water but I don’t mind it oh my goodness it’s Marco Polo we finally found him this is nice got a little water area over here it’s very quiet over here which is good take a little break from the hustle and bustle of the park day Moonlight Jackie how much did you spend on everything I wish I knew it’s very easy to spend money when you don’t do the currency don’t get me wrong I can learn the conversion right but half the fun of going to Japan is not knowing how much you’re spending and you know a little irresponsibly spending money so I’ll tally it up at the end of my trip when I get back to America and I will make a video about it so if you haven’t already subscribe next question Terra zap are the characters bilingual do they have to know both English and Japanese no I do not think so the characters I’ve talked to they speak English maybe they say some like hype words in Japanese like wait why can’t I think of the word Kawaii or Arigato thank you but most of the time they’re just talking in English to Japanese people which is fair I’ve actually had a friend who did a contract here and he doesn’t know Japanese and he did like a whole year here so needless to say I don’t think so Jacob says need a video on currency and how you pay in Japan planning a trip now it’s confusing it’s actually very very simple you can use your credit card I’ve been using my credit/debit card the whole time I will say you should probably get some hash which you can easily do at the airport and if you want to see the currency exchange rate you can literally just Google search it right now right now our dollar is stronger so that’s why like everything’s cheaper like this beer I think was only like five bucks or something also I love the beer Cup this is specifically for alcohol purposes so yeah you’ll be fine if I can do it you can do it because I’m alone today I’m doing things I want and we’re going to explore this pirate ship real quick I kind of like how it’s not deemed to anything it’s just an actual basic pirate ship there is a scavenger hunt you can do for this whole forts area what’s down here oh my gosh actually this is where I’m staying tonight it’s about 10 Yen I would sleep here if I could hello it kind of smells a little stingy which I think is the intention oh got the little chef over here the smell is reminding me of Halloween Horror Nights weird enough but trust me it’s true like the plastic you know the Prosthetics anyway Tokyo Disney see y beautiful day oh we got collections swords what’s in here um there’s not a place to live and work up until a week ago this was the only pirate ship in Tokyo Disney SE but now you got Captain Hooks over in Fantasy Springs I would pay so much money to watch the nighttime show from here a better look at the Explorers Castle Tokyo Disney Sea Food and Wine Festival is happening right now I definitely recommend that you guys uh check to see if there’s any events happening when you go on your trip both times I was here something was happening last time it was like a Minnie Mouse Valentine’s Day celebration of parades but food and wine definitely a little bit more up my alley Big B B we’ll be going to the show a little bit later today very excited I couldn’t get an entry last time it’s basically like a lottery system you have a one chance per day but right now it’s probably a great time to do it cuz everyone’s wanting to going to Fantasy not this show Showtime’s 11:30 12:55 2:20 4:20 and 5:45 I’ve showed this off before but uh standby for Fantasy right now there’s nothing available but I definitely recommend when you guys constantly refresh throughout the day it’s a little taxing but sometimes things pop up personally I’m not going to be trying to get anything else for today cuz I’ve been able to go twice already but yeah if you really want to try to go on like Rapunzel or frozen I heard a rumor that every 30 minutes or so they add new ones so just constantly refresh like this and you might get lucky wait we got to reference to Steamboat Mickey’s how awesome what you’re not seeing right now is I sto stop for about 20 to 30 minutes and just sit people watch enjoy the day feel the breeze I might post some of those clips on patreon so if you haven’t check out my patreon I am doing a big merch giveaway so that should be fun next up Tower of Terror it’s time to visit Hotel high tower AKA Tower of Terror last time I was here there was a special event going on so I haven’t done the normal ride which I’m very excited about there’s so much lore to this place I did get Priority Access nice thank you so much arato so Hotel high tower is owned by high tower I believe basically he’s the guy that started the whole secret organization that is referenced throughout all of the different rides and restaurants like jungle Cru y’all all know who know comment down below someone give me the whole detailed explanation maybe I can look it up later but right now I’m just excited to go on the ride this queue is absolutely beautiful basically on one of Harrison High Tower’s Expedition he got this monkey Idol which cursed him in this whole Tower last time a cast member told me you can actually find a Hidden Mickey in this picture you see it it’s right to the left of the moon in the mountain you can see a bunch of his travels throughout the world esteemed Explorer one could say look at him he’s so cool [Music] looking [Music] [Applause] fore oh my God [Music] [Applause] well that was spooky we’re moving forward this queue is insane I’ve been through it before it’s like a huge Museum hello little guy oo poor high tower he’s been cursed this is all of hotel’s High Towers collection from from his travels you would have think that would have given high tower to curse I didn’t get to film this cues too much last time so I’m glad I get a second chance at it it’s so dope look at that spooky stuff each room has like a different collection and this one is the collection of carpets I’m for the map tells you where to sit but I already knew that so elevator we’re going to high Tower’s penthouse [Music] sheing the fore fore [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh God H oh God [Music] [Applause] [Music] it was all right honestly not my favorite Guardians in Anaheim and Disney World still better in my heart doesn’t matter though who’s better or worse it’s just my opinion I wanted to share it with you guys there I am just with my camera in the corner the gift store is themed After High Towers pool area there he is um yeah so he’s just dead right like he’s just gone he got sucked into the monkey curse you got cast members spraying water on guess cuz it’s just that hot of a day we got a very colonized food quart I’m saving myself for Peter Pan but they got fried chicken leg pami sandwich chilled noodles with chicken vegetable yeah I don’t like the chilled noodles I like warm noodles french fries chilled soy milk salad in a cup they got beer assorted snacks baked flaf okay for all of my Mickey ear condur here are some of the stuff they got selling I can’t tell if I’ve seen these before these are definitely different the peas in the pot are different I love these guys they’re so cute these are special to Tokyo Disney I don’t see them selling them anywhere else and honestly I forgot my sunglasses today so we are grabbing some Mickey Shades 2900 Yen oh yeah we’re chilling now look at me and my Mickey hung glasses they’re not polarized though which is actually better for vlogging cuz I can still see you guys on my feedback screen right now I definitely think high tower Tower terara has one of the best cues it’s at a 45 minute wait right now we didn’t get to stop in here last time toyville Charlie Park AKA Toy Story Land or like a tiny area they got Toy Story Mania here which is exactly the same as Hollywood Studios in Disneyland but I mean this Q is kind of crazy I love it get in me belly they have some fun carnival games in here you have to tap as fast as you can to get to the top you can even interact with Woody and Jesse spin this lever oh there you go howy he’s talking how cute I love that that’s fun manic mirr oh this one’s not that bad oh wait I’m getting really thin is oh my go I think this is where Mr The Potato Head usually is but he’s sleeping right now feel like all the Mr Potato Heads always has some technical issues Mr Potato Head playtime review oh my gosh we got a green army man he’s just chilling I love [Music] [Applause] that I’m waiting for the show to begin so in the meantime ended up getting a curry hot dog which is exclusive to the Food and Wine Festival it looks pretty normal to me I’m excited thank you I feel like last time I was here I was eating a lot of ramen but this time it’s a lot of Curry I really want to go back to that place that I had the uh the curry udon at in the city it was so good before I leave I got to get like a traditional meal somewhere outside of the park anyway let’s let’s try this oh yeah definitely tastes the curry it’s good it just tastes like a hot dog with like oh God almost dropped my hot dog with a hint of curry in it listen I’m not even the biggest Curry fan but you got to try curry in Japan it’s not the same as like Indian curry it’s really really good I’m not say Indian curry is not good but Japanese Curry hits it’s delicious it’s not spicy or anything definitely recommend that was absolutely delicious ate it all I’ve been eating so much here and I’m not mad about the food’s delicious in Tokyo Disney JK went out in Tokyo we’re in New York City my bad in Tokyo Disney they have these mobile charging stations super convenient all you have to do is scan this QR code you pay by the hour and it pops out I’m not going to one today but the first couple of days this was a lifesaver I think I need some pure cream toilet soap it’s time for a big band be the special treat display code they going to scan it and then I got a cool area let me see if it shows it yeah I got b39 it’s crazy they actually put you in a seat so we actually have a really nice spot I said I was going to come watch this next time I visit and I stuck true to that I don’t know how much I could but this is more of a me thing I’m hype the doors are about to open this is the second show of the day hi than you making our way into the theater whoa got some Native Americans right here this place is big two floors this is a full-on theater okay we’re in the Broadway musical theater oh my gosh I wasn’t expecting this it’s a full-on theater that’s lovely I should get some popcorn here’s our seats b139 honestly we got really lucky we’re sitting right in the middle so the show starts in about 25 minutes I literally got in as early as possible just because I want to take it all in I’ll relax a little bit I almost want to take a nap Donald Goofy and we certainly can’t forget [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Mi wow I was wasn’t expecting that that was such a fun show different I thought it was going to have a lot of Disney characters in it but it didn’t it just had like the VIPs Mickey was killing it on the Dance Floor he showed such a great proficient with the drums that was that was amazing he was going crazy I didn’t even know Mickey knew had to play the drums but Mickey NOS had to do everything apparently minie Goofy Donald they were all dancing and it was like an O to the 1920s to the 1940s you know it was giving me Hollywood would Studios Vibes you know I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw that show in studios cuz it’s just La that was great swinging like they played that song it was a good time I definitely recommend it not going to lie though I got a little comfortable in that seat that was starting to doze off in the beginning of the show Sun’s going to wake me up it seems like it got a lot busier since I’ve been in the show maybe because it’s the afternoon oh my gosh I see Scrooge McDuck in the distance look at Scrooge you used to be able to meet him all the time at Disney’s Animal Kingdom but his meet and greets gone I believe so he’s kind of like a rare character and again they’re not doing lines it’s just kind of approach and take a selfie they got uh little kid show over here hey yo dance move Mickey wants to turn I don’t know their mannerisms in the show is really funny giving more manga Japanese culture compared to like the traditional Disney dancing but that’s why I love [Music] it I can do this dance hey hey hey hey yeah yeah hey hey water lily fairy recommended portable Wi-Fi yes and no I don’t have portable WiFi my Airbnb the city most places has Wi-Fi but the one place that doesn’t have Wi-Fi is actually Tokyo Disneyland I have a global cellular data plan so for $10 a day I can use the same plan I use back at my house and that’s through Verizon but everyone’s different if I didn’t have a plan yes I would definitely need a portable Wi-Fi in the parks for sure coolick said what merch did I buy I bought a ton of merchandise I over the last couple of Vlogs is it worth it yes some of the merchandise is so much better compared to uh other Parks my favorite ride in Tokyo Disneyland is Beauty and the Beast and here it has to be frozen my third favorite ride is Peter Pan they’re just so immersive and fun and then my fourth I guess is Journey to the Center of the Earth when it comes to Disney parks in general you’re not going to get really thrilling rides you’re going to get immersive storytelling rides front row Fabio says are the lines for food really that bad any tips SL recommendations for food the lines for food aren’t bad but yes if you go around 6 or 7:00 there going to be a 20 to 40 minute wait they do mobile ordering here the difference between here and Walt Disney World or even Disneyland is everyone’s very techsavvy here so mobile ordering spots fill out quickly so the best tip I can give you is try to plan your dinner ahead of time it is going to take more time to get your food if you’re like oh let’s see what’s available right now compared to hey in 3 hours you want to eat before the show so yeah I usually don’t plan but Tokyo Disney definitely kind of forces you in the direction of plan like today I did a lot of planning with my passes and everything so I’m not waiting in any lines but the other day when I was in Disneyland and I came late and I was alone all day I was just waiting in lines which I wasn’t mad about but you know you get the idea oh man man I wanted to go on the boats but I think they’re done for today it looks like they’re parking by the way you can meet Duffy this is his location not going to lie the milk chocolate popcorn smells amazing right now you can find all this in Cape Cod which is Duffy’s home at Cape Cod Confections they sell colorful chocolates hello gosh darn it they have soy sauce and butter popcorn I have to try they got a monstering popcorn bucket oh wow look at this they drained all the water I guess they’re fixing something I have still yet to go on this ride at like 100% last time I went on it there was uh no water effects cuz it was a windy day so interesting so we got soy sauce popcorn here try it real quick I’m not even hungry I just wanted to eat this in Tokyo Disneyland soy sauce and butter it’s not bad it actually doesn’t have that much of a flavor it’s like light on the soy sauce I taste more butter of anything it’s still really good though I’m going to eat all of this yeah this is good oh yeah they should bring this to the States look at that they were filling the water that popcorn was good next up is Nemo and Friends 15 minute waight we’re going into the marine life Institute in we go [Music] [Music] we’re going into that this one with the fishes [Music] going [Music] [Music] for that’s this seon [Music] fore time for foree spee okay [Music] [Music] foreign speee and the ride leads you out to the actual ocean wait what the heck they got a boat going people are on it I thought it was closed for the day that was a cute ride a little rougher than I expected it to be basically you just shrink down to the size of a fish and you run into Nemo and all his friends now I have a confession to make I haven’t seen Finding Dory yet so there’s some characters that I didn’t recognize well I recognize but I don’t know the storyline so saw dory’s parents at the end so I guess she does find her family at some point anyway we are headed on to aquatopia now the ride was down it just got back up it says it’s at a 10-minute waight but I feel like it’s going to be more of like a 20 minute wait because everyone’s rushing the ride right now JK we’ll save this ride for next trip the water effects aren’t on and last time I R the water effects weren’t on and I have a mobile order that’s about to expire in 8 minutes I got to go oh cool look at the volcano what the heck I have never seen goofy in that outfit before he’s like a mad scientist so sick what the oh man I would love to get a picture of him but we got to move looks great though I like his little wig why is it right when I’m in a rush you run into all these amazing characters I think that’s Pito he’s from the three cavier he’s super rare actually what the heck at a DVC event to Animal Kingdom back in Orlando you have to wait like an hour to meet him and you can just walk up to him here look how cool love that that’s so dope we got some monkeys from The Jungle Book I believe he’s just running around [Applause] oh my gosh yeah I feel like characters are so sporadic and random here I’ve seen the monkeys before put over an Adventure Land in Tokyo Disneyland but not here and they had one of the birds from the three cavier out here one time I was walking around and I saw Indiana Jones so you just never know you’re going to run into it’s personally I like I don’t think they have a characters tab on the app I mean they have specific meet and greets where you can meet Duffy Mickey mini Donald but random Roman characters are almost more fun I’m sad though I have not seen Aladdin yet I was hoping I could see him today but I don’t know if we’ll have time this roller coaster goes upside down you can find the same exact one in Disneyland Paris raging Spirits at a 60 Minute weight right now and just like that we’re we’re back at the best expansion that Disney has ever produced I’ll say it right now I truly believe this there is nothing else like this in the world the hype is real look at everyone taking their pictures that was me what like 5 days ago now hi Peter now we do have to hurry up uh my mobile order is like 4 minutes late remember you need a standby or Premier access to get in here they scan when you’re uh entering someone asked me should I get the premiere if you have the opportunity to get Premiere I say do it it will allow you to uh plan your day out a lot more efficiently oh the Mist is going strong today they didn’t have this yesterday the other day we saw Anna and Elsa I’m hoping we can catch one character before I leave there’s fahas beautiful day for Fantasy Springs to’s make our way over to look out cookout cuz I want that curry chicken again we did get a standby entrance for Peter Pan’s Neverland Adventure it’s a 35 minute wait I have gone on this twice so I might not go on it today just because I already went on it I don’t want to like ere expose myself to a ride I just got the standby queue so I can get in here which sounds weird not too many people are doing that just yet we’re back better than ever we have to pick up our food at counter three we got our food funny enough I actually forgot to order a soda so they were allowing me to order it thank you oh you mix it you stir yeah appreciate it thank you so much yeah give me a little box I oh I right got to yeah so I was able to actually put in an order after I showcase that I had a mobile order but you can’t just walk in here and make an order I couldn’t leave d hand without getting this all more [Music] [Applause] time so good best thing I’ve had here is chicken so good and this soda delicious you mix it and it makes more stars you don’t have a big star here it’s like magic it’s start to transform colors anyway I’m going to eat I came all the way to this park just to eat this food and it was good I’m not getting sponsored to say this I have no reason to say this other than the fact I actually really believe it if you’re a Disney fan I definitely think you guys should make it here once in your life I can’t wait to see what they do with this place yeah it seems like tanks is the hardest ride to get on maybe just because it’s made for kids next time I’ll be in Tokyo is probably 20 25 maybe even 2026 unless something crazy happens with an opportunity but it’s been a good time I’m just taking in the sights this was such a fun experience we made so many good memories I’m so glad I was able to bring you on this adventure discovering this new land it was truly exciting Fantasy Springs just symbolizes so much for me when I first heard about this place being built it was my first time ever traveling internationally I was so scared but I saw this I was like dang I want to come back here and fast forward a year and a half later we made it I’m still doing YouTube full-time I still have a lovely community of people who support me friends and there’s so much to look forward to I mean with epic Universe in Orlando you have an expansion coming to Disneyland Paris our travels our new videos aren’t stopping anytime soon but this would have never happened if I gave up on myself if I didn’t believe in myself so gosh man it’s just it’s just really special this feels like a culmination of my work as a reward coming to fruition which is just being able to be here opening week and be able to learn and grow and teach of you guys when it comes to making memories for you and your families for the next like you know freaking what like 20 to 100 years this place isn’t going anywhere anytime soon oh man I might have to come back here when I’m like 80 or something I’m not going to get emotional I definitely can though I can’t wait to come back here with friends next time and make more memories with them for the foreseeable future it seems that characters are going to be meeting over here look at this we have Sleeping Beauty hanging out definitely a cool spot to meet oh she’s doing the thing oh people freaking out I love how there was just a collective like woo she’s vogan she’s slaying next time I’m back I’m definitely staying in this hotel one way or another and we got Ariel [Music] oh wait Ariel’s meeting by her uh Stone that’s cute when it comes to meet and greets you kind of just stand and either kind of assert yourself and walk up at the appropriate time or you let Ariel call on you it’s all about reverence here so everyone is just vibing so Ariel needs to go but she’s doing one round of portrait she does like a just a 360 spin so everyone could say bye to her have a good day Ariel [Music] we had the chance to look inside but I never ate at the Royal Banquet of arenda next time as much as I want to buy more merchandise listen I’m going to have an issue getting what I bought home already so goodbye gift store if you want to see all of these ride povs go check out my other two videos links down below great days overall great week here I was supposed to be here a little bit longer but then I cut my trip short cuz I wanted to go to annual pass previews for Tiana but then I got a cast member preview so I had to delay my trip a lot of delays but honestly for my purpose of this trip which was to cover Fantasy Springs it was a good amount of time any more time here I would have kind of done a little more exploring in the city maybe go to Universal but I honestly rather do that with someone not because I can’t do it alone but it’s been a tiring couple days I need I need a break like I need 48 Hours of just resting I’ve been non-stop vlogging for a week straight before we leave always making new friends what’s your name I’m Reagan and I’m Melanie so why are you guys here graduation trip celebrating nice do you like this area or what oh it’s very cute beautiful yeah I agree it’s it’s something that I feel like everyone should definitely visit once in their life and you guys got here in the first two weeks so you’re already winning we we did you know did you know we didn’t know no way you just know the Donald’s birthday yeah that was fun too well thanks for saying hi thank you good to meet you definitely my favorite feature the Tower with Rapunzel singing and remember when you leave Fantasy Springs there’s no re-entry unless you have another standby queue for a ride or a fast pass or premium access for later in the day so when I leave I can’t get back in but if I refresh and scroll and something pops pops up they’ll let me back in they even got freaking Bambi in here goodbye Fantasy Springs we’ll see you real soon bye Rapunzel it’s really cool cuz Olaf is angled in a way that you don’t see him until you leave I was surprised and I saw him the other day he’s looking on and Elsa not going to lie when I took my picture with Jasmine you know she said can I take your arm we do the whole thing I do it all the time with princesses everyone freaked out they’re like oh my God they’re probably not used to like an older guy taking pictures of Jasmine in that sense I don’t know maybe they are either way they’re like oh it was so cute legitimately it’s a sign I never find Aladdin just a boo abu’s cool though Abu high five before you go bye high five see you later Abu you have a good day okay go say hi to Aladdin for me see you wow Abu really doesn’t want to leave that’s so funny oh you got to go yeah out dang no Aladdin but Jasmine’s over in the corner she was hidden it was hard to see her look at her for what it’s worth we did see Aladdin in the parade and he did actually recognize me and say hey to me so that was special and one of these days we will get a picture of Aladdin in this area but today wasn’t our day third trip will be the time it works out hopefully Jasmine it’s good to see you good to see you too you yourself a street rft yep yep I actually am sometimes a diamond are rough but you know speak about diamonds are rough I’ve been looking for Aladdin the last two visits I’ve been here I haven’t seen him he’s been pretty busy getting ready for his camel racing at the end of every summer you know we have that big camel race in AUD that sounds so much fun this year we are competing against each other so Aladdin will have my help ah you come by and be on Aladdin’s team I would love that that would be so much fun he’s going to need all the health you can get honestly I feel that you know I’m about to actually take my own Magic Carpet and fly back home so yeah uh a very hot humid place kind of like the desert it’s called Orlando I don’t know if you ever heard of it we very familiar you’ve been there I’ve seen carpet flights yeah I wish I had your magic carpet mine’s going to take a little bit longer but longer you got to rotate the tassels make sure all the threads are up to speed you know fair enough fair enough take it to Genie I’m sure you can fixed up well should we get a quick portrait of course let’s do it score we saw Jasmine she said that was a street rat AKA she saw the resemblance I can never be as handsome as dashing as Charming as Aladdin but at least I can remind Jasmine of him that’s a compliment that’s good I think we got to I think we got to leave the park on a high note that that was perfect it’s been a nice day the sun is slowly setting also some of you are probably commenting JoJo you didn’t go on journey of the censer the earth I know I could honestly buy a fast passw right now or Premier access but you know I’m going to save it for next time cuz why not gives me something to look forward [Music] to oh look at this on the way out the Fantasy Springs merchandise which you needed a standby Q for in the first week has turned into just walking so I guess the pending on how busy it is in this store it can make this day walk in or you have to actually queue up for it gosh darn it I don’t need any more merchandise I don’t peace out Tokyo Disney SE and Tokyo Disneyland Andy Springs you’re one of the bests you’re one of the freaking bests [Music]

  1. Ugh I miss Japan , I can’t say I like one or the other I love them both . The magic there on both sides are amazing 🥹Japan it self is just truly beautiful

  2. 10:34 I actually prefer the videos when you don’t have your friends. I don’t even watch the one focuses on your friends to be honest because I’m usually here for you and whatever you’re featuring. I do love Krista though.. I think because also a lot of people like couple videos. To see a male and female perspective on things, but that’s just my two cents. And you are right it’s your job. But it’s perfectly OK to take a vacation by yourself even if you have a ton of friends.

  3. Each park is unique and that’s what makes going to each park great… I know some people wish the North American parks did more, but remember, we only want more because we go to those ones more and so the process of adding new rides or shows feels slower. I’m sure people in Tokyo wished they had certain ride the North American parks have… remember, non of the international parks have a Galaxy’s Edge. That’s only exclusive in the North American parks.

  4. Jojo I really loved all your Japan series!! It's always a dream come true for us Japanese to visit Orlando, but watching your vlogs made me love even more the Tokyo parks I've known all my life. Absolutely love your happy vibes, and it's great to know that we can share the same Disney magic no matter what language we speak. Wishing you the best and looking foward to your coming adventures!

  5. I know you are young and self entitled since you are American, but you have A LOT of things you need to learn about our 🎌culture. As an example, do not just stand in people's way including in front of trash cans ! If you don't even speak Japanese and understand our culture on the basic level, do not criticize it for just being different from the West. It pissed us off. It's as if walked into your house with nasty shoes and complained about you not having enough trash cans compared to my house. You are prohibited from filming Big Band Beat and the majority of the rides at T.D.L. ! Do not break the rules

  6. SO glad you got to see Big Band Beat. It’s a legend out there and has been playing for years. The entertainment is thriving in Tokyo.

  7. Hi JoJo, a sign of a fantastic vlog is wanting more! I can’t believe how fast this hour long vlog went. I can’t wait until you experience the park again with your friends!

  8. The idea of DisneySea was meant for Long Beach,CA when Disney owned the Queen Mary and they wanted to build a theme park around it. Long Beach city turned down Disney and Disney eventually sold the Queen Mary. This park was original supposed to be in the states.

  9. When year I’ll be out there at Tokyo Disney, I still haven’t went to Disneyland. It’s in my bucket list.

  10. I didn't get a chance to ask during your live, but are there many children at Tokyo Disney. I didn't see very many in the background of your videos.

  11. They're probably not getting rid of the 40th pass lmao. The anniversary ended back in April. It will most likely just stay as a permanent free fastpass because it's really well received and it makes use of the old fastpass scanners that were planned to be removed.

  12. I have reservations for November for three days. I’m staying in Fantasy Springs Resort. I am so excited. I’ve never been out of the country.

  13. Thanks for sharing this amazing vidéo Jojo !
    Im à French cast Member and it's my dream to visit Tokyo Disney Resort !.

  14. Went yesterday, they opened at 830am and with a group of 7 people , got repunzel for 1020 am. Couldn’t get anything after 11am unfortunately, even changing the number of passes. I was surprised though how short the ride time was. Tower of tower ride time was really short too

  15. You're really becoming top notch with giving useful info as well as great perspectives with visuals/scenery shots!. I also increased International solo travels. Sharing your honest interactions with transport, lodging, money, culture, languages, ease/difficulty etc has been refreshing compared to bloggers who complain and want everything to be like US. You're giving solo travelers more confidence to try something new! Thanks for sharing ALL your journeys over the past year.
