Should You Visit Tokyo Disneyland on a Weekend?? Here's my experience ...

- My advice is always to avoid weekends if possible. So, I don’t follow my advice, so I visit on a Sunday to see how bad the crowds can potentially get. I share my tips on navigating the crowds if you plan to visit on a weekend.

Hi, 👋🏽 My name is Chris, aka TDRExplorer, and I started sharing my theme park adventures. Over the years, TDRExplorer has become a resource for passionate theme park fans looking to make the best of their trips to Asia. Including Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan!
What's been your experience visiting on a weekend? Our guidebook on Tokyo Disney Resort breakdown every month to help you decide when to visit and how to navigate the crowds! tdrexplorer.com/books
Saturday bad, Sunday not so bad and can sometimes be better than Mondays and other week days.
the words 'weekend at a Disney park' sends chills through me
I actually saw you this day from a far and wanted to say hi but couldn't catch you in time! Our visit was so amazing and a huge part of that was because of the peace we felt from the knowledge we gained from your guidebooks! It helped us in so many ways not just the parks but from transport to the parks and all those little things no one talks about. Thanks so much for providing this resource! Can't wait to plan another trip to Japan!
I feel like crying every time watching Disneyland vids, it's such a magical place!!
Every time you talk about Splash Mountain I think of the Mount Splashmore theme song 😂
Loved seeing Haunted Mansion again and the artwork in Its A Small World 🥰 perfect.
thank you for this relaxing video despite it being a weekend!!🤗
Yum those ice sando's look so good!
That parade at night was stunning. How accessible are the parks for wheelchair users and visitors with mobility restrictions?
11:45 what an awesome shot of the train :D
I'll going to TKD on this Nov and waiting for you update The Fantasy Spring on your Guide book! and I will buy it for sure ! 😉
OMG I LOVE that Genie shirt!!! I need to find me one of those :)
Oh I can't WAIT for the Donald event video!
ディズニーの良さが本当のに綺麗に伝わっててお勉強になります😊😊😊
Oh yes I can really smell the lemon in your drink…thanks for sharing 😉🍋🥤
I wish Japan would get rid of the lottery system for shows. Especially considering tourists go there.
$2.25 for an ice cream which is like £1 something is AMAZINGNGNNG
Going in November for the 1st time and am so glad we’re doing mon to fri 🙀 my brother will have a DAS hopefully so that’ll be an adventure! I also didn’t know you have to lottery to watch a show?? I need to watch more tip videos 😂
I also really liked how everyone, cast and guests, are so enthusiastic in waving! Very cute.
Sweet treats!
So awesome that the priority pass is free.
If I've learned anything from @tdr it's I need that apple soda
That Mickey Mouse ice cream looks delicious 😊
Could you please do an upload on the process of applying for DAS at Tokyo DL? I can't find any uploads in English. I am aware about needing a letter from my specialist but is that a specific form? (I'm from overseas). We plan on doing a mixture of things like paying for premiere access but for rides that you can't get paid option, that's what we'll need it for.
I visited in September, and even though I was coming international so I could technically go any days because it would take a week off work either way, the way the flights worked out, I ended up going to the parks over the weekend. I was kind of annoyed because I felt like it was going to make my trip so much worse. But honestly, that happy 15 early entry and thoughtful planning made it pretty doable. Soarin was up to a 3-hour wait by the height of the day, but other than that it wasn't as bad as I was afraid it would be. I will say though, the crowds just to see those mini-parades on the water were INSANE!
Hi! Your videos are so helpful! We are planning to visit in March 2025 (6-25th ish). I know that it’s the month of Spring Break but which days of March would you say are the least crowded? I can’t seem to find the dates that would be least crowded for DL/DS and Universal in Osaka. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
The last time I was in Tokyo Disney was a Tuesday and I got there at 10.30am and I STILL couldnt get a Premiere Access Pass for BATB and I cried haha! It was my second try and I only had one day. So gutted! Maybe in October I will have a better chance -- I'll get there at 10am if I have to! HAHA!
I am trying to visit Tokyo Disneyland this year on November!
I have two questions?
1. When you go down the drop of splash mountain can you still buy your photo while going down the big drop yes or no?
2. How much are tickets? Are they usually expensive around November/ December time ?
Would love to hear some of the prices to the different parks to get in
I went on the same day! I would say it wasn't crowded. Parks were really crowded between late February to late March due to school holidays. For Mickey's Magical Music World show, I also didn't get the admission ticket through entry request but they have changed their system only months ago which you can line up for non-reserved seats upstairs for all time shows, not only the first one. This is only for Mickey's Magical Music World. For weekends, I would recommend to check for the line more than 1 hour early. I went around 12:50 for 13:40 show and seats were only a few left (I feel like around 10) Still, they often change their system so please keep checking for updates before visiting the park. They might have DPA for shows in the future, who knows!
🎉 We Love Donald!🎉
Is there a set time when you have to submit your entry request? or can you do it anytime in the day?
I never knew about priority passes until I came back from Tokyo Disney. I'm gutted... T.T
Hold on… there’s wait times for the popcorn at the Japanese parks?! 😱 I think the longest I’ve waited for popcorn at Disneyland is like 5 min…
I was at Animal Kingdom that same day then drove back home to Gainesville always sad
How can you see everything at Disneyland in one weekend day while in Tokyo? Take the first early morning flight out to Hong Kong and go to that park!
I loved its a small world 🌎
I'm getting confused with all the rules about how to get into the FS and how to get on the rides if you are even lucky enough to get in to that area.
Could you make a video about it pleeeeeease?
Can you pay for two people on the same app/mobile for a priority pass for a ride? :) just incase the other member of your party cannot use the app on their phone
We don't arrive to the resort until after lunch for our first day, which is a Sunday. Is the half day pass (3-9pm) worth it? Will I even be able to get any priority passes or Disney premier passes that late in the day?
Can u restrooms in the park's am going Disney Europe in September
Is the Mickey ice cream made by Nestle like in North America?
It seems like the majority of guests are wearing blue in this video. Is there some kind of informal theme for the Donald event?
I've been wondering, are the attractions at Tokyo Disney in English too ?? Do they have English sessions???
Why not mobile order Hungry Bear? Just curious. We lapped +45min line of locals w/mobile order at HB. Not sure why it seems almost no one using mobile order - I know Japanese love their lines lol. Bizarre to me as hardened DL vet.
Hey Chris! I'm not sure how else to go about reaching out you you. But I purchased your Tokyo Disneyland Resort guide. I'm plannin on travelling there in November. But I would ideally like to stay at Fantasy Springs Resort since its new. However your guide does not include this resort. And I'm having a hard time figuring out if/when I can actually reserve this resort as a package deal. The Tokyo Resort website says that I can. But I have yet to notice an opening. I've done soe dummy searaches for like August and September to see how much Fantasy Springs would cost but it never comes up as a hotel option. Do you have any insight into this? I don't know when is the best time for me to try to secure the package at Fantasy Springs for November especially if it seems right now that there's just nothing available.
Did you always blur out the crowds in your videos? I have noticed it a lot more in the last videos. Yours are just about the only Disney videos I watch. Love how you show how to use the apps and really get into what visiting the parks are like. With other park vloggers, you don't get as good of a sense of what these places are truly like with crowds and experiences
Yes for privacy for them and also he goes to corners/quiet areas of the park with his back to things so people aren't caught in the video.
From your recent uploads, it looks like you're bouncing all over the globe!
wow...40 minutes wait time for popcorn??
Hi
PLZ DO A NINTENDO WORLD MERCH VID
We will be visiting in 2025. Do your guidebooks come out at the beginning of each year?
That song from small world ride gets a little annoying 🫣😆
PETE !!! 17:41
Happy 90th birthday Donald Duck.
Aw wish some of the rides were in English, Japan is our closest choice for USJ and Disney from Australia. I don't fancy a 24 hr flight to USA with young kids. Australia needs some good theme parks lol
色々激動すぎてMarvelが来ることをこの動画で思い出した
what about people with disability's who cant wait that long ? I see you need someone to come with you if you do to get any type of allowences, why is japan so un disability friendly . any advise ?
Do you live there??? 😦
I have never been to a theme park this crowded so whenever he says ''we ONLY waited about 30 mnts'' or '''the waiting times are not that bad'' while I can clearly see a 120 ants wait and 30-45 ants of wait time for most of the rides blows my mind cuz HOW IS THAT NOT THAT BAD? like what do you even do waiting in the lines? such a surreal experience for me 😅
Hi! How about the usj on the weekend? 🥲
hi Chris i have never been to Tokyo disneyland but Walt disney word I had and I don´t like to go on weekends because of the crowds I tend to get overwhelmed 🦙
