Hello! Just a question, you said that guests could enter the park 15 minutes before, but on your slip it said you could enter 1 hour before? How does that work? Thanks
"We're gonna put the cheese on here because...cheese, y'know?" Chris 2023...amen! The ONE time you get to enter the park early before everyone else and Beauty and the Beast is down...oof. That's rough, buddy. At least you got to still ride it though! Yup, Japanese curry is delish! Not to mention, it's easy to cook! Curry was first introduced to Japan during the Meiji era by Anglo-Indian officers! By 1870, it became a staple of Japanese cuisine!
Thank you so much for the tip about early entry for Disney Hotel guests. Great attitude - Beauty and the beast is down, so much more to do. It is such a lovely day to be at there
No matter how many times I watch this, you going "It is 10:30! Do you know what time it is?...*no, wait expression*" always makes me reflexively laugh. Bless you
Exactly, life isn't always gonna go your way...I learned that the hard way after I was pushed out by the board. But keep smiling and keep pushing forward, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about. That being said, Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast is a wonderful ride and it doesn't take long to see why. Beast's castle in all its grandeur is enough to say "You're gonna be a part of something magical"
I hope you got to enjoy the rest of your day in the park. You’re right to take time for yourself without the camera & live in the moment. Thank you for sharing!
when you thought you had the upper hand, then all of a sudden, some things go wrong 😩 but hey, as long as you're in Tokyo Disney, it'll work out! can't wait to experience the amazing Beauty and the Beast ride someday too 😍
Awsome video. Really loved the Minnie merch. Thank you for showing us these parks and other gems. Seems like a good idea. You definetly has owned some time to just enjoy the parks and do your thing.
Happy Entry is pretty much redundant now that Fastpasses have been removed. Previously you'd enter the park early, get a fastpass, then go stand in a different queue. Now you just get to stand in the ride queues a little earlier than everyone else. Still good, but not as great as it used to be.
Enjoyed this video!! And yes! I’m happy you’re starting to take time for yourself and not always be on camera! I hope the rest of your day in Disneyland went better! 💓
Hoping to book a Disney hotel for part of our November trip! 🤞🏻fingers crossed we snag a room! I am so excited to see the Beauty & the Beast section…it’s like all my dreams come to life! 🤩
Thank you so much for all of the great videos! Do you know if the "Early Evening Passport" ticket option can be purchased at the hotel desk after we check-in to the Disneyland Tokyo Hotel? We will be arriving late afternoon and just discovered that it would be possible to go into one of the parks for a few hours our first night. Would you recommend extra time in Disneyland or Disney Sea in the evening? We will be going in the middle of April. Thank you for any advice Chris!
Just found your channel and watch already so many videos, because you have so a cute personality, it makes realy fun to watch you! Thank you for giving this lovely vibes! Greetings from germany P.S.: Can you tell if vegans can find good meals in japan disneyland?
We planned a last minute trip and are going next week. The ONLY hotel with availability was the celebration. The email confirmation said we get to park hop as hotel guests, did you end up park hopping?
Sorry, my question is out of place.. but who knows you (TDR EXPLORER) might have some info(s) about The Harry Potter Cafe in Akasaka, Tokyo.. (maybe on how to make reservations before hand and the menus..? Tx before
Yes, they are are, even ignoring the $ to yen. I went to Disney Sea on 12/31/22. I paid 21.280 for 2 adults and 1 junior (children12-17) tickets. I did get a 6000 yen discount because we are all triple vaxxed, but even so that is 27,280 yen on one of the most expensive park days of the year. Even when the dollar is closer to parity with the yen at 100 yen to the dollar, you are not getting 3 tickets for 3 adults during a peak period to a US park for $272.
Great video !! im planning a trip to Japan late in the year and you videos help a lot, one question, I think the premier access while you spend more is worth it especially if its the only time you probably will be there.
Do you need to ask the front desk for the happy entry ticket or do they have it already in your room? Also, are coffee stands open in the park for early entry? Gotta get that coffee lol
Absolutely love the Haunted Mansion shirt! Good to know about early entry! 15 minutes doesn't seem like a lot but I guess if you have a specific ride you can just rush over and not have to wait in line or pay for the line skip.
I’m going to Tokyo’s Disneyland for the first time next month. My number one goal is to ride beauty and the beastso planning to do the premiere pass. Do premiere passes sell out usually sell out?
When I was there last month, they were doing the standby pass for omiyage! They had moved all the omiyage merch to specific shops and had standby passes for it. Someone on Twitter said that OLC had misjudged crowds and hadn’t ordered enough so they had to limit the shopping. This was around Christmas time too so there was a lot of special limited omiyage as well that may have made there be even more of a need for the standby pass.
Thank you for the video! I booked toys story hotel yesterday for 2 days, so this video is right on time for me. I am excited go in 15 mins earlier (already planned for beauty and the beast and journey to the center of the earth for those 15 mins) Edit: oh no, I read your guide just now and toys story only offers for disneyland?? It is ok though, I am fine not ruding soaring I need to download the tokyo disney app and learn about it too
Hello.. i’m from indonesia and plan to come visit tokyo disneyland on june with my kids and eldery, since this is gonna be our once in a life time visit , we plan to buy disney premier access to beauty in the beast, do you know which credit card list do they accept in disney app? Or maybe there is a lis of CC they accept? Also, is it allowed to bring tripod (like travelling tripod) inside the park? Thank you
How many tickets can you buy per room? One ticket? Two tickets? Are they limited to Tokyo Disneyland or you can enter DisneySea as well? Planing to visit with my wife maybe this year/next year so hopefully we can plan this early! Love your videos!
Same I was wondering this and about to ask the same question. Was wondering if I book one night am I able to go into the park early the day I arrive and the day that I leave?
@@wowpongarmy sorry you answer as confused me? So I am going to Japan on my own and if I book a 2 night do I get early entry on check in the next day and checkout day? Sorry I am massively confused and unsure by this? Hope you or Chris can help. Thanks in advance
I managed to book Disneyland Hotel for this April and so excited for Happy entrance cus last time we were there the Beauty and the Beast premier access was sold out and my kids cant wait in line for over 2 hrs. Unfortunately, little did I know that on April 15 they have a 40 yrs celebration and only one day in the entire month that there will be no happy entrance. 😢 So, I have a question about Premier access, if I am in front of the gate before scan ticket for park entrance, will I be able to book premier access for B&B ride ? I am thinking that I will get all tickets of my family member ready, scan through Disney app just in front of the park entrance while my kids still sleeping or having their breakfast in Disneyland Hotel, buy premier access for afternoon round then go back to get my kids to actual enter the park later. Is that possible? Or all member have to actual present themselves at the gate for entrance before 8 o’clock. Will there be spacial entrance for hotel guest that day ? Since they don’t have Happy entrance that they, they should have special entrance for hotel guest, right?
Hello! Question: Is there a Disneyland app that shows wait times on your cell phone like there is in Disneyalnd CA? So sorry Beauty and the Beast was closed first, but looks like you had a chance to ride it anyway! We'll make it out there some day. Thanks for your videos!
thing's don't always turn out like we planned, but that's okay, we have to make the best of things and keep on pushing on. haha. at least you wer in Disney Land today! thats pretty cool! :)
Hello! Thank you for your videos very helpful for our recent trip to disneysea! Just wanted to give some further feedback around buying premiere access passes (which was absolutely essential for our visit as most lines were over 2hrs on dec 26). Because you can't do it until you physically get to the park, we hadn't been able to test our credit cards in advance. We tried 5 different cards, and none worked (because they all required confirmation codes which were sent to our Australian phone numbers which were not in service in Japan with my Japanese sim in!). The final credit card worked thank god, as the confirmation code got sent to my bank app on my phone which just relies on data/wifi - so no mobile number needed. All this took alot of time on a busy day (so lines had started building) and buying the premiere access passes early is important as you can only buy them 1hr apart on the app and they sell out. We managed to buy 2x (tower of terror and journey to the centre of the earth), but by the time our third hour had passed all passes were sold out for other rides like soaring. Guess it's important to find a credit card where confirmation codes get sent via data to an app if you're using a different sim to normal, and to try buy your premiere access asap in the morning if you're planning on using this!
Just wondering if you could also maybe visit more anime places. I have watched all your videos and I was just wondering if you could do some more anime stuff. Your amazing keep it up.

I hope they bring the single rider lines back. It’s so good for those travelling solo and if it’s space going empty someone should use it.
I luv the balloon merch … aah I can’t wait to see the park and realistically all the merch in person lol
when you thought you had the upper hand, then all of a sudden, some things go wrong 😩 but hey, as long as you're in Tokyo Disney, it'll work out! can't wait to experience the amazing Beauty and the Beast ride someday too 😍

Server: The Harissa is very spicy. Chris: I don’t remember it being spicy…. My mouth is on fire, why did I put on so much sauce! 😂

I love living through you at these GORGEOUS locations 🤩🤩🤩

I’m going in April. We are doing 2 nights at Miracosta and 2 nights at the Disneyland hotel in an Alice and Wonderland room! I’m so excited
We went the same day. I just saw our group in your vlog. LOL❤❤
great content as always, chris! hope you are well!
Thanks for taking us along - and good for you for taking the rest of the day for yourself (I got a lot out of your video from just the morning)!!

I like that you took time for yourself that’s what the parks are really about
Just found your channel and watch already so many videos, because you have so a cute personality, it makes realy fun to watch you!
Thank you for giving this lovely vibes!
Greetings from germany
P.S.: Can you tell if vegans can find good meals in japan disneyland?
love this channel. its informative but i just love watching Chris go on adventures haha
Oh so they are doing what they do at WDW and Disneyland? That's kinda worth it!
Can early access be done with the associate hotels like the Sheraton or Hilton? or is it only the Disney owned hotels?
This is only for Disney Hotels tdrexplorer.com/happy-entry/
We planned a last minute trip and are going next week. The ONLY hotel with availability was the celebration. The email confirmation said we get to park hop as hotel guests, did you end up park hopping?
Gabbi!! Is that you? 🥰
Its aunty Jo. I am gonna need the tips from you when you get back! Going end of March ♥️♥️
Send my love to mom!
Sorry, my question is out of place.. but who knows you (TDR EXPLORER) might have some info(s) about The Harry Potter Cafe in Akasaka, Tokyo.. (maybe on how to make reservations before hand and the menus..? Tx before
sorry to get off topic but correct me if I'm wrong but are ticket prices at Tokyo Disney cheaper than the American parks?
Right now they are. Especially with the yen weak right now and Japan wanting to drive tourism back in.
Yes, they are are, even ignoring the $ to yen. I went to Disney Sea on 12/31/22. I paid 21.280 for 2 adults and 1 junior (children12-17) tickets. I did get a 6000 yen discount because we are all triple vaxxed, but even so that is 27,280 yen on one of the most expensive park days of the year. Even when the dollar is closer to parity with the yen at 100 yen to the dollar, you are not getting 3 tickets for 3 adults during a peak period to a US park for $272.
7900-9400yen even before yen weak ticket price was cheaper
Great video !! im planning a trip to Japan late in the year and you videos help a lot, one question, I think the premier access while you spend more is worth it especially if its the only time you probably will be there.
Do you need to ask the front desk for the happy entry ticket or do they have it already in your room? Also, are coffee stands open in the park for early entry? Gotta get that coffee lol
You have to pick it up at the front desk, they'll give it to you when you check-in.
Absolutely love the Haunted Mansion shirt! Good to know about early entry! 15 minutes doesn't seem like a lot but I guess if you have a specific ride you can just rush over and not have to wait in line or pay for the line skip.

So how long was the standby wait for Beauty and the Beast?
Hi! I'm coming very soon. How and when can i book park tickets? Also do you have to pay for premier access?
Awts
Hi
Chris, the Single Rider Line is only used if an attraction has a Standby Line and isn't selling Premier Passes.
Random question but are you allowed to eat in ride queues?
Dude ! Where did you get that awesome HM sweater ?
Walt Disney World
How many tickets can you buy per room? One ticket? Two tickets?
Are they limited to Tokyo Disneyland or you can enter DisneySea as well?
Planing to visit with my wife maybe this year/next year so hopefully we can plan this early!
Love your videos!
Same I was wondering this and about to ask the same question. Was wondering if I book one night am I able to go into the park early the day I arrive and the day that I leave?
Depending on number of guest that you booked for your room.
@@wowpongarmy sorry you answer as confused me? So I am going to Japan on my own and if I book a 2 night do I get early entry on check in the next day and checkout day?
Sorry I am massively confused and unsure by this? Hope you or Chris can help. Thanks in advance
@@oliverrea3924 you get early entry for the days of stay and check-out day. So not on the day you check-in

Disneyland hotels in Tokyo always fully booked..esp those theme hotels
Is beauty and the beast ride suitable for 6 years old?
Yes...my niece n nephew are 6 yrs old and they just went for Beauty and the Beast ride last mth and they love it!
Hello! Question: Is there a Disneyland app that shows wait times on your cell phone like there is in Disneyalnd CA? So sorry Beauty and the Beast was closed first, but looks like you had a chance to ride it anyway! We'll make it out there some day. Thanks for your videos!
Tokyo Disney has an app for iPhone and Android!
