i just got my disney vacation. When you arrive at the hotel to get your passes, can you leave luggage at the hotel even though check in is later? Like we come at 7am, grab our tickets, and then head over to Tokyo Disneyland?
What a great video. As soon as you mentioned unlimited drinks I immediately thought I wonder how many apple tea sodas Chris’ can drink. The hotel was gorgeous.
We just got back from a trip using a vacation package. It might not be for everyone but for our once-in-lifetime Disneyland trip it was definitely worth it and saved us lots of hassle. We managed to ride everything we wanted to at both parks and had an amazing time!
I'm so torn! We aren't super into disney (our 4 year old is 😂) and we are really excited but we have that 4 year old and a 1 year old.... it's so expensive for a package but the skipping of the lines is very, very tempting. I practice booked one and had trouble filling the selected attractions so I don't think it's worth it. But. I keep going back and forth 😂
@@arr255 you are best to just buy the DPA (fast pass) on a individual ride basis based on which one your kid/you really want to go on. if you do the vacation package, select the rides that do not have reserved time so its easier to go when ever during the day depend on child's mood/where you are in the park . last thing you want to do is commit to a ride at specific time and you are rushing to it from opposite end of the park with child in towe
I feel the difference with you taking it easy, is that for most people, this might be the only time they will be at Tokyo Disney resorts so they don't have time to be leisurely. They have to pack in as much of the park and experiences, they can in the two days.
We’ve done the vacation package twice. Pro tip: to maximise the value, the vacation package allows you to book the fancier restaurants as well. I’ve done both normal access and vacay package, the biggest pro is time management for those who have young kids!
53:40 - while I love the creativity of a "popcorn vent", I had a good laugh when you realized what the top's flap was really meant for. Keep on being your awesome self!
This video was so helpful. As someone who is coming next year from the US I was so overwhelmed as to where to begin. I'm still a little nervous but I also bought the Explorer Guide to help!
Tokyo Disney Resort is a completely different beast when it comes to planning! Thank you so much for getting my guidebook, it will help you out immensely! (For those that read these comments, you can check out my guidebooks on my website tdrexplorer.com/books )
We got the vacation package too and had the same room! It was an amazing experience. The unlimited drinks voucher was awesome too. We loved Rapunzel's Magical Milk Tea at the Snuggly Duckling. Went back every chance we got to get a cup.
Just booked a package because of the premium Fantasy Springs access. For two nights, it ended up being about 40 000 yen higher than booking the items separately, but being guaranteed to ride all the new attractions with low waits and have everything taken care of up front was worth it. My Chase Sapphire Reserve card worked on the first try online.
me too but also the unlimited drink was another seller for me. not having to carry dead weight of water bottles and the ability to try new drinks without worrying paying for soemthing you don't like
I love your videos, your voice is so calming, and I really appreciate how informative and well edited all of them are. This one was such a great experience! I don’t know if I will ever get the chance to visit Tokyo, but it’s definitely on my bucket list after your videos. Watching them makes my day, thank you for sharing!! ❤🎉😊
I was in the same category of room in Mira Costa. Major bonus is that you can even see the nightly closing show from your own room (though there is something about being on the ground that makes it more exciting). Overall I loved that hotel.
I was always intrigued by the vacation package so im really glad you made a full video about it. Thank you again i love it ❤. It's about 1600€ for me i think that the price is really correct for everything that you get
Love your content💕 Thank you for sharing this detailed video of the Disney Package. My family and I have been trying to figure out the best option to visit Tokyo Disney. All of the perks included make the price worth it. Thank You 🙏
I just found your Chanel like 2 days ago and have already watched like 20 videos, I’m not even into Disney but these videos are incredible comforting and feel like an actual lil trip c: esp always enjoy the lil window shopping part
We are coming in May and have a vacation package for two nights at Disneyland hotel and then move to Miracosta for 4 nights without package. We are so excited! We had your 2023 guide book which was very helpful to figure out what we were doing while booking.
This is such an informative video, thank you so much for going out of your way to make the information so digestible! Also looking forward to your universal beijing video, so excited to experience a brand new park with you!
Thank you for watching! Yes, the Beijing video is coming (I had over 3 hours of footage and it’s been daunting to get done with everything else happening like getting out two guidebooks done, but the Beijing video will be out soon!)
Hi… I laughed at when you share the popcorn bag… lol 😅the vent to smell the popcorns.. lol 😂 I knew it was for wet wipes… but you found out soon enough… and lol… love watching your shares… i won’t know when I’ll ever get to visit Disney seas at Tokyo and or any that you share.. this really helps.. 😊thanks .. I enjoy it..
@@serg627yes I booked through the official site. My credit card first denied the charge so I had to contact them to tell them it was an approved charge.
@@emilydanger03 the site opens the next available date of fantasy spring hotel booking at 11am japan time (for booking of the newly released date ). the website refreshes at 5am japan time (cancellations will mostly be updated ). call your credit card company and let them know you will be making a large foreign transaction to avoid transaction been flagged.
It does mean soft (also gentle), but I decided to say "pulsating" since that's what the function was actually doing. I should have clarified more. Either way, it sprays your butt, haha.
9:09 here you can see the price for those wo are interested. Still "cheap" compared to WDW in my opinion. At WDW they'll charge you the same amount of money just for the hotel room.
Perfect Timing of Video! I had booked a vacation package in the morning and this popped up shortly thereafter. I was having nightmares of credit card not working / connection issues the morning of visit, so booking the package (specifically for the included Fantasy Springs entrance ticket) took a load of my shoulders. THANK YOU for all your wonderful videos!
I would love for Super Nintendo World to add the Kirby section with other characters such as Leongar and Clawroline, Elfilin, Meta Knight, King DeDeDe, the Squeak Squad, Kracko, Whispy Woods, Waddle Dee and Doo, and more.
Thanks for another great video Chris! Do you think with the opening of Fantasy Springs coming, that having a vacation package is worth it, for the access?
I was spending the past week trying to figure out the pros & cons of a vacation package, and trying to do my own math on what the premium is versus buying everything like DPA a la carte. Thanks Chris, this was really helpful! And I just realized your 2024 guidebooks are out! Your 2023 book helped me so much last year, ordered this updated version immediately for my upcoming trip! 😉
Thank you so much for getting our guidebooks! It means a lot 😭 We put so much work into them to make sure they’re useful since TDR is an entirely different beast compared to all the other Disney Resorts.
Question...If I have a package booked for a Saturday night (so comes with Sat and Sun park tickets) and am staying at the Disneyland Hotel only (no package or tickets) on Friday night, can I use my Saturday park package ticket and my Friday night Disneyland Hotel stay to get in early on Saturday morning as I am checking out hotel guest that day?? I hope my question is making sense?
Thank you for all your videos! We booked the vacation package after watching this. Love your positive and calming manor. You make us laugh while watching as though we’re friends and hanging out together in the park! 😁
Thank you for this detailed video! We were just able to book TDH in June with the Fantasy Springs entry 🎉 I would never have known about it if it wasn’t for your video ❤ SO excited! Thanks again
Oh wow- very cool video for us who live in U.S. and want to visit Tokyo Disney!! I'm so happy that they Disney park encouraged (sponsored?) you in staying here and making this vlog- it's great advertising for them, and also great for us who get to see it!! 😀
As someone who isn’t a fan of going to Disney parks I love these videos!! They give me the opportunity to see the parks without all the aspects I hate and seeing your enthusiasm and passion while exploring the parks brings me so much joy!!
Which two days are best to book for a vacation package if you don’t want to long lines and so it’s not to busy like usual or in which months too? I love these videos 💕💕
If I don't plan on going to Tokyo Disney until 2025 fall, would you say I should wait to buy your guidebook closer to that date when it's updated for that year, or would buying it now be okay?
Just curious with regard to the hotel room. I saw many items not normally found in US hotels. What things can you take home and what are expected to stay. Like i saw 4 toothbrushes. can you take all 4 home/ you said there were PJs and you can wear them but not take them home. Is that normal to offer pajamas? is it only mens? what about the slippers? love your videos. they are very stress free
Great video but interesting how it's almost a year old. SOOO much has changed and the primary benefit of the package now is Fantasy Springs access. The rest of it though I think is pretty similar (I have a couple booked for my trip but haven't experienced using them yet).
This was so informative, thank you! I'm going in october and considering the vacation package since Fantasy Springs in included. I Do have a question, it says that the Fantasy Springs entrance comes with premier access to the rides there. Do you know if that's on top of the 3 premier access tickets you already get per day from the package?
I love all of your videos! My wife and I are planning using your guidebooks for a trip later this year. Will you be going to Ghibli Park after it reopens with the new Valley of Witches?
I just booked 3 day vacation package (including the fantasy springs access), at the miracosta, for october! This video was really helpful to understand if it was worth it, I'm very excited
Great video! Thanks so much! Was there a specific time you had to get to the hotel at? We are coming from Canada and want as much time in the park as possible. Can we come and check in/get our tickets before the park opens? Thanks
What is apple tea soda made of like do they use soda water when tasting apple tea soda what does it taste like can you buy apple tea soda kits where you can make your own apple tea soda
where did you get the Apple Tea Soda with the beverage ticket?? None of the places i go to offer it, plus it’s hard to figure out where the beverage ticket can be used in general.
We were planning on staying 3 nights with 2 park days at the Disneyland Hotel but now that I see this - I’m very intrigued. Since this is a 2 day/1 night package - would I have to book the other 2 nights separately?? 🤔
Thanks you for sharing your blog it was awesome 😘 I hope you and carmea man had a great time . Thank you for great information please can you tell me the name if the ship in the background. Love from Northern Ireland 💞💞💞 So Be Good and Be Safe 💞💞💞
This was an excellent video!! Thank you for explaining things so well. The vacation package seems well worth it for me and my husband for our trip next year! We will happily pay extra for a stress-free disney trip in Tokyo. We still have PTS from Genie+ 😅
Going in May for our first time and can't wait! We didn't do the Vacation Package, but we did get one of the Chip 'n Dale room at the Ambassador and so excited! Please don't be scared if a random fat old guy asks you for a hug in the park! 😁
So after reading is it Possible to book a package for one day and pick up the tickets the day before and go with early access the day of check in and just check in after the park
This video was so amazing, I definitely am gonna do the vacation package but with the cheapest hotel lol, probably two nights in a Disney hotel and like 3 or 4 nights in shibuya to see my Japanese idol perform😂😂
Oh fun, the title I voted for won!😊 Is your team going to visit/cover Fantasy Springs after it opens? I'm going in later June and obsessed with videos/research, would love seeing how a day at the new area works (mainly confused on how the different app passes/etc will work with everyone clambering for FS stuff) before I visit 💖
@tdrexplorer Yay! Glad to hear that, hope everything goes smoothly (I'm constantly hearing horror stories of Tokyo Disney lines on normal mornings, I can't imagine how crazy it's going to be with a new area opening 😅😱)
Thank-you so much for this video, can you please tell me how to change our attractions that we have chosen - need to swap things around I am still within the period. Tokyo Disney website doesn't seem as straight forward as the one in the states....
Does the drink voucher list the eligible locations on the back like it does the merchandise voucher? I would be really annoyed if I waited in a long line only to find out they don't accept it. Also will the drink voucher work with mobile order?
0:55 holy cow, that's almost when we were there! We loved Land. Hopefully some day we can come back and do Sea. As far as I'm concerned this is the only true Disney park left in the world.
I don't think i will ever go to a Disney Park. Therefore, i love watching your videos. It's like i go along go with you. The hotel looks beautiful. Could you take the toothbrush and other things with you? Thank you for sharing this with us. ❣️
This video was excellent! Very educational and it's always fun seeing you have a good time! I wish the Tokyo parks were a bit better in regards to food allergies since that's the biggest obstacle for my partner and I going overseas to visit. 😢 At least I get to live vicariously through your videos!
chris thankyou for your videos when ever i start to have axiety or panic about stupid stuff or feel like im about to get drunk and end my self i turn on your videos and feel safe and accepted
Thank you so much for this!!! Planning my first tokyo trip in the future and i was wondering if the packages are worth it. I wish you could book mord than 2 night's
I have a question, I was a little confused on the website, if anyone can help. When we purchase a Disney vacation package, we say that there are 2 people. Is the final price for 2 people or does it have to be purchased individually? Example: 226,300 yen for two people or is this the price for just 1 person?
Thank you for this video! It's very informative as well as pleasant to watch, your pace is more my style than the frantic-yelling type 😊 We just got back from celebrating our 15 year anniversary at Disneyland Paris, we stayed at the newly reopened 5* Disneyland hotel. It was pure bliss... but now I can't stop watching DL videos 😂 Fingers crossed we'll do the Tokyo one too. All the best to you ✌️✨️
This was really helpful, Chris! I'm hoping to visit in the next year or two! I heard there will be new areas opening and a new hotel? Hopefully I can time it to see those once they open.
:) I think "camera man" name is "camera man" . What a coincidence, right? XD XD (hehe, I think camera man wants to keep his privacy otherwise they would have named him :) )
PLEASE, PLEASE do a video on exactly how to book a deluxe hotel on TDL property. Do the process from the US web page if possible, I have one chance to visit TDS at the beginning of October and really really want to see Fantasy Springs. I have the money, but I just keep getting," not availabe", when I do test runs on the booking process for Fantast Springs Hotel, Disneyland Hotel, and Mira Costa Hotel. PLEASE HELP!! Yes, I paid and downloaded your 2024 book about TDL.
Great video! I’m visiting in October and your videos are great help. I’m just finding it so hard to book a vacation package. I’ve been testing dates (as I can’t book october yet) but even checking the latest dates as they release, it always says no availability. Is there a trick to tip?
Hi chris, is there a way to book the vacation package without any table service meals? The website won’t let me progress unless I select one TS on day one, and two on days 2 and 3.
