Loved the water and vending machine tour/ reviews. So interesting to “see” other things besides food and rides. Would love to see a bin tour, sign tour, lighting tour, menu tour, window display tour, garden tour, hanging pots tour, wall art tour, food hut tours, etc. keep up the great work. Love your videos. 🥰
Thank you! This made me happy to hear. I wanted to try something different other than eating the seasonal menus, which I have done for years now. Thank you for watching, Bianca!
I love how inexpensive Japanese vending machines are (even when they're double the price you'd pay in store). You can imagine my surprise moving back to Australia and drinks in vending machines go for $4 or more
Thanks Chris! I LOVE ❤ ALL of your vids. I’m dying for a TDR Explorer Merch video. No one does merch like you. So fun, funny, and relaxing. Plus, I love seeing all of the cute new character stuff I’d love to buy.✌🏼
Thank you for this and covering Suica a bit - more on IC cards and where can be / not be used in parks please! Loved not having a pocket full of change by end of holiday!!
Thank you for watching, Antony. You can use SUICA to pay for almost everything (food carts, shops, etc) except the gachapon machines and some vending machines (as you saw)
It's interesting to see vending machines in Disneyland. I knew Japan had a lot of vending machines (some pretty strange ones, too) and this is how I leaned Disneyland have their own versions. The drink with the lychee looks good. I like lychee. Vending.
Oh this is great- love all the themes on the vending machines, and I love the themed bottles! I would not be able to recycle those- I'd have to find a way to ship them all back to Calif! 😀 Oh, and "yes" on the video of "every ride at Disney Sea as that's my favorite (bucket list) park!
My favorite VENDING machines had to be Baymax or the Tea Pots. Too cute!! I really want to try the Kirin Lemon. I love fizzy lemonade and that might be right up my alley! We have a big Japanese grocery here in Seattle. I'll have to check there and see if they have it.
@@tdrexplorer so!! I went to Uwajima's and they had it! I also got the Kirin melon cream soda. The lemon pretty much just tasted like Sprite or 7-up, so that was fine, but I REALLY like the melon cream! If you married honeydew with cream soda - TADA! YUMMY! Thank you for setting me off on a grocery hunt. I ended up with other snacks, too! 😊👍
The line moves quick. I ended up doing it when it was at a 60 min wait and the entire thing took about 45 mins. The wait times used to be much higher when it first opened (even with restrictions). Thank you for watching!
Vending machine with Mochi😍🥰 I love big hero 6. If I get the change I would ride that one first. Doing all the rides in disney sea would be a very good idea.
Cutest review of the vending machines ever - brings new light to the park. Your t-shirt so cute, too. Love ur chuckles - so happy. Thank you for taking the time n giving so many tips!!!! Can't wait til I get to the park again. Luv the purring cat n those vending machines are the BEST!
Thank you for making these videos! I enjoy watching your tour of the restaurants, popcorn, rides, merch, and vending machines! Could you make a tour of Disneyland during the winter months for someone who's looking to visit in 2023/2024?
Vending! 😁 Everything looks so perfect for these vending machines. 😍 I would love to try the lemon. 😋 Thanks for sharing some of your wisdom with us. ☺️
This video just makes me miss when I could use my octopus card anywhere in Hong Kong :( great video though! I wanna go check out all the vending machines now lol
I loved watching this. Firstly the price is excellent, secondly the price is the same for all drinks. Also the little titbits are super helpful. Suica card has been of interest, since we first thought of going to Japan. Knowing it's available on Android is really good. The hint about red and blue in the VENDING machines will come in handy, since we will be there Oct/Nov. Is the reason you don't have Diet Coke, because your Coke products have less sugar than other countries, or because of the fake sugar they put in it? Apparently not all cokes are made equal. I can't stand the Coke in Australia, it has a weird taste, that leaves a horrible coating on my tongue. The Coke in Switzerland is really nice, lower in sugar and a very smooth taste.
Is aquarius not available in Canada/the US? I never knew that! Here in Spain, doctors advise you to drink it when you're sick to your stomach --I guess it gives you a little energy during those days when you can't eat much.
Holy shit that line for Beauty and the Beast is insane! Here I thought the line for Tower of Terror was bad at Disneyworld or the Harry Potter rides at Universal but my god, I haven't seen a line that bad since the Fletchers corn dog line at the State Fair here in Texas.
First time I saw vending machines at Tokyo Disneyland I wasn’t very impressed. I thought it was something that other Japanese places would do and were beneath Disney. But have to say that I’m impressed They have made efforts to disguise them and the park exclusive packaging in some products is fun.
I wonder why that is. Maybe they found that people aren't interested in getting canned coffee or could be a safety thing (not sure what) kinda like no glass bottles?
Japan doesn’t have a big soda drinking culture. And, yes, sugar free sodas are rare. But they do exist. They have Coke Zero and you’ll see things like Melon Zero. Basically look for カロリーゼロ (calorie zero) or 無糖 (mutoh, which means no sugar) on the bottle. Sugar substitutes at coffee shops may be hard to find, so I recommend bringing some from home. For cold drinks, you could buy some lakanto s (ラカント S) liquid, which they sell in a squeeze bottle. As a word of warning, really look for that calorie zero or no sugar wording. We have flavored water in the states, but they’re almost always zero calories. Not so in Japan. That peach water might look good, but it has sugar. Even drinks that are touted as being healthy often have sugar.
Do season passes not exist in Tokyo Disney?The price of the drinks was also surprising. That would easily be at least 4.50 us for each drink in Disney world.
Silly question from someone who's never been to Japan and who's English is a bit rusty in some aspects: Wouldn't you call a sweet carbonated drink with lemon in it a lemonade? Like what differs a Lemon Kirin to for example a Sprite? In a bit of a similar subject:Is a soda athe same as fizzy water or does soda stand for every drink that's carbonated? In regards to those vending machines, they look neat and Japan has a bunch of them. The system with that Suika card seems quite practical if you can use it for a majority of things. EDIT: You mentioned your Iphone. That reminds me: Is in Japan Android rather unpopular by any chance? I always see that stores in Japan somehow only ever offer products for Iphone. Like if you look for a cute phone case, places like Pokémon Center and pretty much every other place seem solely offer Iphone specific products.
As a native English speaker from the USA, lemonade is not carbonated. I guess you could call a Lemon Kirin a "sparkling lemonade" if you wanted to make it sound fancy, but lemonades are typically pale yellow in color with a bit of cloudiness. As for "soda" I would say all sodas are carbonated and sweet, but not all carbonated drinks are soda. (Beer, champagne, carbonated water, and kombucha are a few examples of carbonated drinks that would not be called soda)
@@luxetlex Oh, that's something. At my place at least, Fanta often is considered lemonade. Same with Sprite. And all such drinks are carbonated. I never even heard of non-carbonated lemonade so far. People usually complain when their lemonade isn't fizzy.
I'll add to what's already been put here! It depends where you're from. What I can tell in Canada (where I'm from) and the US lemonade is the same where it's a sour flat drink. Sprite is both lemon and lime, where Kirin Lemon is just lemon, so I wouldn't say it's sprite. Soda is usually carbonated sweet drinks (including diet drinks). I wouldn't typically call it soda, but I said that here thinking it would be easier to understand? I would usually say "pop" instead of "soda" for carbonated drinks, which is a regional word. I don't know the facts about Android but I know that iPhone is quite popular.
It's kind of funny, I wonder why Japan doesn't seem to like to support Bank cards or Credit Cards. Something I never really got (or really looked into... and obviously you can use them online, but even online they got options for cash cards)

I really miss Aquarius. One of my fav drinks from Japan. So much nostalgia…
It's a great drink!
Love the vending tour. Please do one in Disneysea!
Thank you for watching!
Yes please!🫶🏻Would love a Disney Sea vending machine tour. Some much useful information as well.
I can't concentrate because that green scarf slays! I need it!
Thank you! It's a Chip n Dale scarf too!
I'm not usually a big fan of Toontown but the gas station being the vending machines is a perfect fit.
They're super cute! Thank you for watching, Hazmat!
I LOVE your shirt!!! Pocahontas is my favorite Disney princess.
Thank you! She's my favourite too.

For us Americans: 45 Celsius is 113 Fahrenheit!
Thanks for the vending tour!! These are fun. It would also be cool to see a gashapon machine tour as well. I’d love to see what you get!
Good idea! Thank you for watching!
I love vending machine videos! And Aquarius is my favorite, we have those in Belgium too. In fact, I have to drink Aquarius daily on doctor's advice.
Thank you for watching!

only 200¥ for a coke at tokyo disney???? that's a steal!!!

hi Chris I love green tea without sugar too and I also love the milk tea and the ramune drinks specially the orange one 🐮
So good!
Love the packaging and the info about how to pay. Would like to see for other park
You got it! Thank you for watching, Lisa!
OMG THAT LINE AT BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
The line moves quick. I ended up doing it when it was at a 60 min wait and the entire thing took about 45 mins. The wait times used to be much higher when it first opened (even with restrictions). Thank you for watching!
The no diet soda fact was actually something I did not know! Love the facts sprinkled in
Thank you for watching!
Vending machine with Mochi😍🥰 I love big hero 6. If I get the change I would ride that one first. Doing all the rides in disney sea would be a very good idea.
Having Mochi purring at the top is perfect!
I’ve been subscribed to Bokksu for a few months now and I LOVED the takoyaki sauce flavored snacks in this month’s box!
We loved the cat purring vending machine! Thank you for all your amazing videos!

Thank you 🤗
The drinks in Disneyland Paris also have designs on the drinks. Coke used to have special Disney Coke labels in the USA parks.
That's cool! I know right now at WDW some of the coke bottles have the special 50th design on them.
I love when you explore the parks and the gift shops! I'd love a Disney Sea vending machine one too!!
Vending! I wanna try the lychee one. Sounds interesting
If you actually drank all the drinks that fast I'd expect the next video to be the best bathrooms in TDR 🤣
Thank you for making these videos! I enjoy watching your tour of the restaurants, popcorn, rides, merch, and vending machines! Could you make a tour of Disneyland during the winter months for someone who's looking to visit in 2023/2024?

I love any and all trips to DisneySea- I miss it every day! It's crazy!
Hope you get to come back soon! Thank you for watching, Gina!
I would loooove to try the kirin lemon drink, it looks so good :) Thank you for the awesome tour
It's so good!
Ive noticed that the prices for souveniers and drinks are far more reasonable at disney in tokyo than they are in the states.
Loved this video. Super fun and informative! Hope you can do a DisneySea one too!
One day I'll make it out to Tokyo Disney. For now I get to enjoy it by watching your videos. LoL
Would love to try the 🍋 drink. 😊
Thank you for watching! I hope you get out here one day.
Thank you for the vending machine video and yes another for tokyo disney sea
You bet!
This video just makes me miss when I could use my octopus card anywhere in Hong Kong :( great video though! I wanna go check out all the vending machines now lol
Thank you for watching!
Would love videos on both vending machines and riding all rides at Tokyo DisneySea!
YAY, thank you!
Pls recommend all the food and beverages on the TDR , Disney Sea and other theme parks.
Love the vending machines and the video, This video will help me alot when im going to Tokyo disneyland next month (new sub! :>)

Love your shirt😍. Love that movie😍.❤
My fav was the last machine!
Everything looked delicious! Would like to try them all. VENDING
Next time you're here, you'll have to try them all! haha. Thank you for watching, Dom.
I bought that wheat tea by accident mistaking it for jasmine, I thought it tasted like an ashtray

Typically, no. I never had it until I moved to Japan from Canada.
@@tdrexplorer woah! I really thought it was one of those drinks available everywhere
Vending! Definitely kitty Baymax with Mochi and then second would be the Alice in Wonderland teapots!
So much vending going on. And so much info! I don’t know how my wife will cope with no Diet Coke in Japan. I guess life finds a way
Holy shit that line for Beauty and the Beast is insane! Here I thought the line for Tower of Terror was bad at Disneyworld or the Harry Potter rides at Universal but my god, I haven't seen a line that bad since the Fletchers corn dog line at the State Fair here in Texas.

Thank you for watching, Paula!
Lucuu ❤🥰
Remember to drink water when you can. And please don't get sick and have the head spins.
i would like to try the lemon drink...
I love water! Please review it!
Vending! I will try anything lychee :D
The lychee drink is great
Interesting that there is no coffee
I wonder why that is. Maybe they found that people aren't interested in getting canned coffee or could be a safety thing (not sure what) kinda like no glass bottles?
@@tdrexplorer Maybe so they can sell coffee in the restaurants
I often wonder as a diabetic who can’t have regular soda and isn’t a big fan of tea how much I’d struggle to find beverages in Japan 😩

They're quite nice! Thank you for watching :)
did i see it correctly? It takes suica card?!
Do you have to make dinning reservations ahead of time in Toyko Disney like you do in Disney world?
Would love some more information on the lack of diet drinks.
Fairly odd to me, since the japanese else are so into healthy living and drinks.
Do season passes not exist in Tokyo Disney?The price of the drinks was also surprising. That would easily be at least 4.50 us for each drink in Disney world.

Can you tell us the volume for the bottles?
Some are 500ml and others are 600ml (I checked the Lychee and Wheat Tea that I had left over still in my fridge).
The price mark-up is SO much less than here in the US. Your talking $1.50-$2 in store vs $3-$5 in vending machines at parks
Yeah, I often wonder why it's not marked up more here? I would have it would have been.
I feel like wheat tea would taste like flat beer? Or am I way off
It definitely doesn't taste like flat beer. It's much better than that!
No diet coke!? As a type 1 diabetic id loose it lol
Baymax! 🤍❤️🤍❤️ Vending
I love those vending machines so much!
