I think exclusivity is nice to a point. But, begrudging a fan a small souvenir from the hotel just because they didn’t spend the night seems a bit petty. You payed to enjoy the full experience true but not to bar all people from having any token ( or small souvenir) of having enjoyed a visit to the grounds. It comes across as selfish and elitist. My guess is eventually the hotel will receive a merchandise shop.

I've never been there, but it seems like Tokyo DisneySea has a good mix of lands that are IP-based, and lands that are not. Fantasy Springs of course is shared by Peter Pan, Frozen, and Tangled, and the other IP lands are Mermaid Lagoon (The Little Mermaid), Arabian Coast (Aladdin/One Thousand and One Nights), Lost River Delta (Indiana Jones), and, if you want to count the works of Jules Verne as an IP, Mysterious Island. The other lands, namely Mediterranean Harbor, American Waterfront, and Port Discovery, seem to be less IP-focused and more about overall cohesion with the park's theming, as all of the lands represent different ports-of-call around the world. The entire park is like one giant walkthrough attraction; it looks incredible.

Wait I am not subscribed let me fix that! 😀thank you for the long video love it!

Peter Pan is one of my favorite Disney films, I’m glad that Tokyo Disneyland still gets additions based on Disney IP from the 20th century, while sadly all the US has gotten in the past decade is things based on IP made or acquired under Iger. You’re right about the Skull Rock and Captain Hook ship! I love that they built them at Tokyo DisneySea! I can see from your video that Skull Rock provides great views! I’m glad you like the land itself so much. It definitely looks fantastic from your footage. The rides themselves I honestly can’t help but wish were a bit better though. I never really watched the Tinker Bell films from around 15 or so years ago, so Busy Buggie isn’t something I’m sure I’d enjoy. And it doesn’t look that impressive from your footage here. But I understand that it was clearly designed for very young kids. As for Neverland Adventure, it looks like a good ride, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say how much the ride uses screens is disappointing to me. Ever since The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in 2010, the American Disney Parks have felt like they’re trying so hard to emulate Universal not just with IP lands like Pandora and Galaxy’s Edge, but also with attractions that use primarily screens and projections. While Tokyo Disneyland still seemed to build rides with physical sets, props, and animatronics like Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast. I know that Peter Pan’s Flight is at Tokyo Disneyland next door, but I personally wish it wasn’t a 3D ride. As Peter Pan is the only one of the three films represented in Fantasy Springs to be animated hand drawn, I honestly find it ironic that Tangled and Frozen get rides with animatronics and physical sets while Peter Pan gets CGI screens.

Thanks! great videos! Are single riders still avialable for BTM and Splash? Because I don't see them on the website

About the Lost Kids namechange, Nibs the rabbit is actually a girl in FS. What's interesting is that she was still portrayed as male in some earlier concepts for Neverland Adventure. It's quite an odd change, but it's really no big deal in the end. The Yorkshire pudding was the only thing about the miniland that bothered me. It was so dry that I couldn't be bothered to finish it. I strongly agree that this area works perfectly in DisneySea. When compared to the Batb miniland in Disneyland, there's a clear difference in design philosophy; something ignored by certain Forbes journalists.

As an American, the reason I love the Tokyo Disneylands is because they haven't ruined with all the woke BS. Thank God I can still enjoy Disneyland the way Walt wanted us to enjoy it.

A nearly hour long 8 Bit Theme Park video right before I go to bed? Yes please!

I wish they just sold tickets for $500 so I dont have to worry about crowd

This hotel was definitely made by a separate team than fantasy springs, feels really rushed. Thank you for sharing. I think I will stay at toy story instead next year!

I’ve watched dozens of vids on this topic (FS), and this one is far and away not just the most useful but also just very watchable.

I know I’m nine months late but warning pirates of the Caribbean has a Random steep drop at the start so beware

“I ranked this ride low bc it’s in a dumb place” bro what

At least have Mickey and Minnie roaming in the lobby! That would make up for all the flaws LOL

All of the deluxe hotels at Tokyo Disney give you those freebies. The hotels freebies all have different designs. I stayed at Mira Costa and DIsneyland hotel and got their versions of the freebies but they were the same things

The music in this hotel is really funny. They just stole the old wdw today music and added a bunch of extra classical pieces. The hotel needs some springs themed water facilities. It would be nice to relax in a Fantasy Springs onsen with a few character rocks. I also find those grey bricks on the lower parts of the hotel so weird. It feels like they were supposed to make a mosaic like many of Gaudi's works. What I do like about this hotel is that it looks huge compared to the Miracosta and the Grand chateau has an iconic silhouette (still could look better, though). I just went yesterday and was kind of surprised by how huge the grand paradis lounge was. Easily the prettiest part of the hotel. It also seems they were trying to mix rococo and art nouveau, which could be really nice if done properly (also makes walking through the hotel at night with the random cast members standing still less unsettling). Hopefully they work on it further in the future. It would be nicer if the story of the Duchess was further explored too. Btw, nice impression at 22:15.

The perfect guide! Going this December for a day with a family of 5. Do you think crowds and passes would be manageable around Dec. 20 (Fri) to Dec. 23 (Mon)? Which day would you suggest?

I hate Groot now. I LOVE it’s a small world not groot

I’m sad to hear that the hotel is underwhelming. There are definitely aspects of the hotel that look nice at this hotel from your video. But going by what you shared here I think I’ll likely stay somewhere else when I hope to come to Tokyo Disneyland in around four years or so, unless the prices have gone down significantly by then. I’m glad you think the land itself is fantastic and I’m looking forward to seeing your upcoming video on it! I would say that maybe The Oriental Land Company is starting to decline in it’s new additions from this hotel, but at least the land itself looks phenomenal. 30:21 As a lover of classic Disney shorts this fountain made me happy to see!

I like the hotel but I gave up because of the high prices, its don’t give me luxury ! I rather stay in Toy Story hotel cause of the atmosphere it’s more fun !

The purple vines are supposed to be wisteria, something pretty from Tiana’s world, but the vines are actually extremely invasive and evil. They are gorgeous when they bloom, but that’s only like for a week. So for the rest of the 51 weeks the plant looks ugly, and you can’t try to cut it down, but it just grows back so fast that you can never catch up. Even if you could, many of the vines are so embedded into the soil that it will spring back up an acre away! The weight of the vines will collapse fences and anything it can get a hold of, which is usually other plants you do want to keep, but they end up dying because they are either strangled to death or can’t get enough sunlight. I hate wisteria so much! OLC should have really considered the amount of PTSD American southern tourist have with this.

The dreadfully generic hotel is the result of all the Hilton and Marriott people they keep hiring who think they're more elite and "expensive" looking. What surprises me is that OLC let imagineering get away with it.

So my family just recently stayed 4 nights at the Sheraton, and it’s like way cheaper, and I feel, better than the US deluxe hotels at DLR and WDW. I wasn’t looking for much, just something nicer than the value hotels I was used to. I was hoping to get a bayside view, but when I opened the window, I discovered that I was staying in freaking Neverland! Like, the green volcanoes were there, smoking, and they even light them up at night. We could see the fireworks and drone show, AND monorail from our hotel room window! June 5th was our DisneySea day, but I still felt like I experienced Fantasy Springs. I could walk to the Bayside station, same station as the Fantasy Springs hotel, and see the decor every day as we took off. Also, due to the way the loop is, the train isn’t as crowded, and I was able to sit in front, basically getting a perfect view of the resort as if I were driving the monorail myself. I couldn’t believe staying off property could be so magical.

Disney is usually better at hiding the fact that their plain concrete block buildings are so plain and concrete. A lot of the decoration looks tacked on at the last minute.

Really well-balanced, fair, and insightful review - lots and lots of useful info, while being very entertaining as a video too. You’re definitely in your element with these! Thank you for putting in the great effort - and sharing in the fun that you have doing it.

I was there in the middle of June. We stayed at the Tokyo Disneyland hotel and the Ambassador hotel. Both beautiful! We stayed at the TDH because of the vacation package. It was pricey but we did it for the guaranteed access to fantasy springs and being able to skip the line. Since we came from California we didn’t want to risk not getting in to Fantasy Springs. I want to stay at the miracosta and Toy Story hotels next time.

Love your channel! If you’re having trouble with flickering artificial lights in your videos, I would suggest setting your shutter speed to double your frame rate. For instance: filming at 25 FPS, use a shutter speed of 1/50. This will help to synchronise the shutter speed with the light's frequency. Maybe you already knew this, but if not, I thought this could potentially help. x

I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the Fantasy Springs Hotel. This video and the podcast episodes have made me decide to stay at MiraCosta for my eventual TDR trip (eventual lol). Thanks for the coverage on Fantasy Springs! All hail Cheese!

Would love to get the BTS story on the development of this hotel. How it started out and how it ended up the way that it did. Sounds like there were a ton on trade-offs and compromises made to shoehorn 2 buildings into this area.

I was surprised that the fantasy springs hotel was pretty reasonably priced? Seemed no more expensive than non-character Disneyland hotel rooms or cheaper MiraCosta rooms. The grand chateau I want no part of tho lol. That price tag is crazy.

Way better than the US resorts. They add more attention to detail to make it more immersive.

I think for the price... it's pretty bad.

At least this is temporary!

Hong Kong Disneyland also does the water thing during the summer, where they have a Pixar parade where water splashes on guests and also the castle stage show has water spraying

Hi again! where/how did your purchase your weeknight evening pass? I am trying to purchase one online but both my UK mastercards are not being accepted and the third party booking apps don't have the weeknight passes, only full day ones. Wonder how you purchased yours!

I think you were quite harsh on Dumbo and the Tea Cups

bliiiiiimey the areas looks amazing! I want one of those Peter Pan hats too...

How many times did you get to ride? Were all the rides pretty much walk on with this pass? We go next April and so tempted to save and pay the extra for this pass

I love how you spend your own time to look at every comment

Is the Tinkerbell ride included in your ticket and you just wait standby (as that is the only line) or is it not included at all?

Not sure if you'll even see this comment, but I was wondering if the vacation package included entry(unlimited) to the fantasy springs area as well included in the package without paying extra for the magic pass. Great vid btw!

Once i was done with my visit to Tokyo Disney i assumed i was done watching your videos . But your love for the park , enthusiasm and honest presentation keeps me coming back

What is your favorite restraunt

I love your videos

Did you see the people waving behind you jordan

I like your video’s. And you sound like Stewie or am I the only one? I mean that as a compliment. Cheers from holland

I couldn’t get a booking for Fantasy Springs Hotel so got 3 nights for Miracosta instead. I’m kinda glad even though I won’t have the special tickets…the Fantasy Springs Hotel just looks so ugly! 😢 Hopefully 15 minute early entry will be good enough.

8:06 Speak for yourself, I'm going to be flying around this area 😤

Hi! So is the 'Early evening pass' different to the 'weeknight passport'?

I am going to TDR for the first time this July. I am looking to prioritize one show while I'm there. I first settled on BBB, but it seems to be a shell of its former self? Should I prioritize Club Mouse Beat or another show?
