I was there about one or two months ago. Great ride and land. Sad that it is the only Splash Mountain in existence. I'm definitely going back and hopefully before it goes away (if Diz forces OLC). I think I saw you there a few times!!! :P Oh, and someone brought up your channel in a superchat on the WDW Pro Show's "Marvel is DUCKED in 2025" episode at the 2:17:07 mark!

Its strange that every other attraction in Disneyland Tokyo allows filming except for Splash Mountain. I find that confusing.

I've never seen Enchantment before seeing this video. I also have never seen such a beautiful video of a WDW nighttime spectacular 😢🥺💖 sorry i didnt listen to your instructions... I have to wait 2 months to see this in person. Cliff, you did a wonderful and amazing job filming this. I feel like I'm there in front of the castle. The Partners statue made me tear up as soon as the camera switched to it. Thank you, Cliff. From the bottom of my heart. I haven't been to Disney in over a decade and I feel like this video jyst mare the wait so much easier. Subscribing forever ✨🥺💖

What an amazing video, well done on the different camera angles and transitions! You really captured the detail in the fireworks well. I hope someone does this tonight for the NYE celebration since Epcot and MK will be happening at the same time for the 6:30 pm show.

I am Japanese and often visit parks in Tokyo. Thank you for giving me this wonderful video. I really enjoyed watching your explanation of not only the Splash Mountain ride, but also the surrounding atmospheres. Actually, it seems that Splash Mountain in Tokyo will not be around forever, as the store in Critter Country is closing and we are gradually hearing the end of Splash Mountain. If it turns out the way I imagine it will, this video will bring back some memories.

Dont get me wrong Tianas bayou adventure is still a really good ride. But splash mountain was a 10 out of 10 and Tianas bayou adventure being a 8 out of 10 , I would be lying saying that it doesn't hurt.😢

Does the sony a1 have the same low light performance as the a7siii.

The show was awesome on Christmas Eve, I lost my mom in 2019, and when the loss part of the show happened, I couldn’t stop crying.

To be honest, I do like Tianas bayou but I love splash mountain more. But I,m not sure if splash mountain would have aged well with fans of the newer generation.

never heard of theis show before. it was pretty cool. thanks for the upload and all the time you had to put in to film and edit it.

I just bought a 100 “ Hisense TV and OMG this video was spectacular to watch. I literally felt I was there. The colors were fabulous and the sound was amazing. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.

I flew there myself at June this year. Really was worth it and so much more.

We just rode it on Christmas Day! It’s as good as ever.

I really appreciate you making this video! The ride and land was made with so much care and the maintenance inside and out of the land just shows how much they love and cherish critter country and the critters themselves ❤️ I hope the ride stays for generations to enjoy 😭❤️

TDL does Disney better than actual Disney in the states, especially WDW. Splash Mountain in TDL looks beautiful and detailed, and you can tell lots of love and care has gone to it. I hope it does stick around for a long time. Thank you for showing off this beloved ride for many to see.

This video is perfect. The editing is great, the clarity and 'cleanliness' of the video is amazing, and I think you nailed the exposure! This is the level of quality I hope I can achieve one day.

Thanks Cliff! How do you spot the Westerners at Tokyo Disneyland? They're chewing gum while talking. Dude...

Seems like Disney is starting to snap out of their DEI political phase a bit the past few months, maybe they’ll stop trying so hard to go after this Splash as a result? Still wish we had an undo button for the other two Splashes

I love your 8K videos! I'm wondering what camera you use for that? And what about "Deep Space Audio?"

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the Japanese Disney parks! Did you get a chance to see the show at DisneySea, Believe! Seas of Dreams? I wasn't able to see it well when I went-it was too crowded, and I just wasn’t in a good spot. But if you made a video for it, like you've done for the shows at the other parks, I'm sure it would be amazing! Honestly, I find your videos even better than watching the shows in person, with all the clarity and POV shots you manage to capture.

I love your opening statement! Right now, my job takes me to Tokyo often, and I visit TDR as much as possible. I know the easy access won’t last forever when I need to pay for all those flights myself. 🤣 The classic magic is alive and well over there.

I just got my new sony 20mm f 1.8 lens for christmas .

I wish you and everyone a merry Christmas.

The sony a1 has really good low light performance but the low light performance on the a7siii ruins every other camera I have seen.

As incredible as the sony a1 is for its low light performance, I feel like the a7siii low light performance ruins every other camera.

Amazing video again as always! Welcome to Japan! I'm so glad you made it! Hope you enjoyed your time at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. P.S. Fun fact about Splash in Tokyo: the angle of the last drop actually changes with the seasons! In summer, the drop angle gets steeper, but in winter, it becomes a bit gentler. Wait, is this only a Tokyo thing, or did the WDW and California versions have this too? One more fun fact: the sponsor of Splash in Tokyo has changed before. It used to be Nissan, but now it's Kao, a Japanese healthcare and cosmetics company. Kao even added a 'hand-washing area' where you can literally wash your hands with Mickey-shaped soap!

What do you set your iso range to ?

What do you set your iso range when filming with the sony a1 ?

Do you think you will ever make a Happily Ever After 8k video again? 👀

So happy OLC wants to keep this mountain alive. Getting rid of Splash was a huge mistake.

And we're so happy for you to do that! Thank you for sharing this! x

Love that OLC arguably has a bigger commitment to Disney's standards than Disney themselves, and it's a huge part of why I do consider it my favorite overall resort.

Also, yes. All of the grass and plants are indeed real. This was also the case for Disneyland’s right up until it closed. Walt Disney World’s switched to fake grass at some point in the mid 2010s.

What camera are you using? Is it the sony a1 ?

Honestly, the animatronics are not a simplistic as some people would have you believe. Most have at least 4 dozen individual movements. As far as overall quality and quantity are concerned, you won’t find a better lineup of animatronics in any ride than the ones in Splash Mountain!

Wonderful video. Thanks 🙏. Interesting you weren’t allowed to bring your camera on the ride. Nice to see the canoe ride. I remember going on it when my kids were young at WDW. The peddling pianist was great too!

Ahhh you're at the Tokyo Disney Resort! I hope you enjoy your stay there! Are we gonna expect some footage from you from the nighttime shows? But if course, no pressure hahaha.

いつかまた時代が変わり、スプラッシュ・マウンテンがアメリカにおいて復活する日がくることを願います。 「Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah」「How Do You Do?」「Everybody Has a Laughing Place」 ディズニーパークでこの名曲が聴けないのは、あまりにも悲しすぎるよね。

Awesome video, Cliff! You should do more like it. I wish the domestic parks got the same attention to detail. Any more videos from Tokyo?

Looks great, Cliff!

I went to Tokyo Disneyland last May, and rode Splash Mountain twice there! I hope to go back there sometime, and ride it again!

Allegedly they were forced by TWDC to get rid of all the Splash Mountain merch for not agreeing to convert it to TBA. The Splash specific gift shop was called the Hoot & Holler Hideout.

真っ先に日本語が表示されて驚きました！ 日本にようこそ！スプラッシュマウンテンを愛してくださりありがとうございます！ Welcome to Japan! Thank you for loving Splash Mountain!

glad you made it to Japan to ride Splash Mountain! great video. hope OLC preserves it for many many years to come.

I am so excited to see you made it over there. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. 🙏🙏 Looking forward to more masterpiece vids of yours. 🎉🎉 I agree. They need to keep this ride alive. People will visit this park for the uniqueness of having this ride.

What camera did you use to film the ride ?

I just got back a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Better then the American versions were.

Great video, and great hat! 👍🏼
