"Theres candy in the boooooaaattt" 😂 I love when Tom gushes. Its so adorable ❤

[@jeniboyns]

I haven’t checked through all the comments yet but, as an English person, that ‘hollow puff pastry’ looked very much like a Yorkshire pudding (which is basically just hollow roasted batter!). It could be broken up and used to scoop up potato or gravy, or some people put jam on it and have it for dessert!

[@CaraOleary]

I love these walk arounds of Tokyo. The stuff in the store windows and displays is so cool. Thank you

[@chamisanell3499]

Oh goodness! I think this was the best one yet. I know you are exploring "alone" but please know we are watching and "oh WOW" and "wait WHAT?" all the way while we watch. So good. No amount of thank you is enough. I can only dream of experiencing this in person.

[@fifthrider]

Those gift shops.... Absolutely amazing. More effort went into these than some Disney rides I've seen lately. ( InsideOut = all decals ) The attention to detail like the former pool that was boarded over and turned into a gift shop. If you hadn't mentioned that, I wouldn't have looked at the floor and thought about why there's a perimeter of pool tile. Brilliant. Also agreed on Ghostbusters. Every one of us that knew about the S.E.A. saw that scene and picked up on the connection. To be fair, Aykroyd aims for historical fact before building fiction, and those type of societies did exist before the fictional S.E.A. but in the context of that hotel, and Harrison Hightower? Yeah. You weren't the only one that picked up on that.

Hi Tom just want to thank u for another vlog. I am Japanese and live in Kanto area, but since we don’t have the annual pass, I haven’t been to Disney for some years. Just watching u wander around is fun for me. By the way, I bet u know this, but there is another gachapon at Tower of Terror with different things. I think they had something with the baymax ride.

[@WDWNT]

Yes, I have those already ☺️

[@pavelmachytka5604]

5:16 And then you Let It Go! ❄️ 🤣

[@c5zo6adventures41]

That goodbye in Spanish made me laugh in Indiana Jones!!!!! When I was there, and I heard that I immediately looked back and started laughing. The last thing I expected.

[@karenjohnson3495]

TOM THANKS FOR SUCH A COOL TURE.

[@kimberlyharding1467]

Thanks Tom!! Btw, the tile work in the gift shop is similar to Gaudi’s work in Barcelona. Love the Disney touch to it!

[@catherineadler65]

My mom used to make popovers for dinner & they were my favorite - just like your lunch roll - it POPS & it’s almost empty on the inside but so yummy when they are hot out of the oven

[@Malforian]

Didn't know Russel Brower did Disney music, the World of Warcraft music he did was always amazing defiantly worth listening to even if your not a fan of the game

[@michellee1190]

I would totally buy a print of that Lady and Tramp painting. Oh man.

[@koopa159]

These vlogs have been a highlight of my week lately.

[@tokyodisneydadakaAnpa]

Anything Ride vehicle themed I have to own. I didn’t realize these existed though and I was just there yesterday for the “official “ opening of Fantasy Springs. Luckily I will be back in the parks in a week.

[@Mewtho9]

I feel like we need a shirt of “You Will Know My Fury Should You Touch My Shandu”.

[@seanstein8313]

I need that lady and the tramp painting. I adore the music in that movie, would be lovely if they could incorporate into a loop someday at the parks!

[@StarsetCards]

I’ll be back in Japan soon. Can’t wait to ride these again!

[@jaydenchrist6152]

I plan on visiting Tokyo Disneyland in the future. It looks like a great resort.

Oh wow the story guides are back?! Amazing!

that is a yorkshire pudding - it is not suppose to have anything in it - in America we call then pop overs

Big Thumbs up for 4 for 4!

[@pinball541]

Tom, I was wondering If Journey To The Center Of The Earth uses the same ride system as Rocket Rods, Radiator Springs Racers, & Test Track? It looks remarkably like Rocket Rods. Hello From Phoenix Arizona 🌡 🔥

[@WDWNT]

It does

[@francisnguyen6349]

Hello, Tom! I love your video footage of vlogs. I hope you be back soon after these videos.

[@IkePaz]

49:39 I don't get it, I love gyoza and I love nikuman, and every time I go to DisneySea for my yearly visit since 2003, I try to convince myself gyozadog is good, but its just so overrated. Give me a turkey leg or a pork rib from DisneySea's Fortress Explorations any day of the week. To each his/her own i guess

[@dhfsnow]

Do they still have the single rider que line option for Indian Jones? It was a great time saver because nobody seemed to use it….

[@WDWNT]

I think so

[@wee-senchoo7025]

I think the single rider for raging spirits is also still in use.

[@yolliemom]

Hi Tom. I luv watching your video’s. I admit, I’m scared to fly to Tokyo as process is so different. What inspired you to stay for a while in Tokyo? 🙏💚✨

[@faith9338]

The people in Japan are so helpful, please come!!

[@catherineadler65]

I’m going for the first time in November & if ALL I accomplish are capsule toys & Duffy & friends shopping I will have a successful trip to TDLR - everything else is icing 👍🏻

[@MinniesBestie]

Curious as to why you dont use single rider for Indy and Raging Spirits. Using it saved me a ton of time on my solo trip.

[@DiaryofaRollerCoasterGirl]

It's interesting that you hinted at the Paris Tower of Terror being weaker than the Orlando version, as I personally found the Paris Tower to be hella extreme compared to Orlando (since the upgrade). Didn't Tom Fitzgerald even confirm that they ramped up extreme nature of the ride? Either way, Paris and Orlando are definitely extreme compared to Tokyo and Cali.

[@christopherwalters3395]

Happy Festa Della Repubblica!

[@justintanoue]

It's like a happy meal toy without the meal!

Re: cheese ring. Come to NZ - of all the rings I expected to be onion, most were frickin’ *squid*. 🤢

[@netizen_m3919]

I've visited Tokyo DL twice, and I swear both times Pirates and Sinbad were both closed...very frustrating.

[@amyabrey2504]

My major bucket list item is to go to Tokyo Disney. I really appreciate your blogs. What I’m getting is that the rides and attractions are top notch but the food and snacks are not…

[@blubba818]

Hey! There’s no Gus Goose on the mural!

[@Mechasonicrocks]

Yes. My eye was drawn to OG Gosalyn Mallard. She can be seen interacting with one of the nephews in the "Duck Family portrait". Obviously young Gosalyn isn't a relative of Donald's...Nor was the TV show she debuted in (1991's "Darkwing Duck") connected in any way to 1987's "Ducktales" (at least until the 2017 reboot, where Gosalyn got a redesign and they established a shared universe). Odd that they left out an actual biological relative (Gus), but sprung for a character who IS a duck, but considering the source material her design uses, couldn't even be considered a "family friend". Still a neat piece though!

[@CigTopGun38]

I haven’t been keeping up…but genuinely interested in what Tom thinks about the new Tianna bayou adventure POV. Hoping to see an honest review.

[@WDWNT]

I don’t review videos, I’ll go see it in person

[@CigTopGun38]

@@WDWNTok cool. Look forward to the review!!!

[@QuatroAtYale]

It was so weird to hear mariachi/Peruvian music playing in the background as you opened up the capsules. Very strange to hear that in a pseudo-Yucatan in Tokyo. And the pseudo-renaissance art is magnificent. I had to rewind to watch again. I love that part of Fantasia as well. Oh. Now I have to go watch Fantasia after this. Beware the Groove!

[@Malforian]

It's got to the point to where im not sure if your being sarcastic still about the iphone camera 😂😂

[@DiaryofaRollerCoasterGirl]

How did you get to book both Raging Spirits and Indy, at the same time? Or had you already been in the park a while?

[@_peachbeach]

Originally they wanted to build Disney Sea in Long Beach, CA and it's interesting at and hour 1 minute in, you can see a ship in the background which looks just like the Queen Mary that we have in our harbor, right where they had wanted to build it. anyways, Japan seems so much happier and better than our pathetic country now it's almost depressing b/c it shows how far gone we are here

[@trainnaheemworld2574]

Country bear vacations jamboree is back

[@kaitlynstewart5395]

New drinking game, Drink everytime Tom complains about his phone camera

[@matutake5401]

1:03:30 It's scary to think that road and monorail are hidden behind this red bridge. obsessed with being "integrated with the sea." The bridge on which this train runs was also built to make it look like Mediterranean Harbor is connected to the sea. To put it mildly, the Imagineers at the time were terrifying.

[@marcuscheng2507]

When did you record all those rides?

[@catherineadler65]

Does journey to the center of the earth go upside down/loop de loop? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@vert911]

sad in japan is cherry blossoms gone

[@faith9338]

Oh hell ya you tried the chocolate orange cookie stick it’s so good I tried it last year xD Also, I’m curious, have you bought a popcorn bucket? Is there one you want?

[@thomasforrer7023]

You should consider getting a pair of the Google classes with the camera. Then you can film that without the phone

[@taylor-tot3877]

I felt that the Indiana Jones ride at Tokyo Disney was a little bit jerkier than Disneyland, and Dinosaur being in the middle. I wonder if it’s slightly jerkier because of their upkeep? Or because it’s newer? Either way I was shocked at its intensity.

[@genappithy]

Depending on where you are in Latin America, “torta” translates at cake or sandwich and “tipo” is guy or type. So it’s cake guy or sandwich type or vice versa. Hope they bring the theming to Animal Kingdom. Food not so much.

[@genappithy]

Yucatán is in Mexico. So in that context “tipo torta” roughly translates to “like a sandwich”

[@WDWNT]

It’s not really like a sandwich though lol

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

It's a Japanese interpretation of some Italian sweets

[@genappithy]

@@WDWNT I don’t get it either 😅

[@blubba818]

Journey to the Center of the Earth was closed for refurb when I was there. Total bummer. Also, I keep commenting. But I’m way invested in these Tokyo blogs. Sorry. 😂

[@AmericanAnthropologist]

You have my sword in protecting Chandu!!

[@annzaff2866]

Tom, is Disney built over the ocean? Or do they just access the ocean and funnel it into the park? How was it built? Please reply?

[@WDWNT]

It’s reclaimed land, so it’s a man-made parcel on the ocean, but the water in the park is filtered and that’s a concrete-bottom waterway

[@faith9338]

It’s built on a higher elevation so that you can see Tokyo Bay beyond the wall, making it like an illusion like it’s connected to the bay when in fact there’s a road below the wall. 😊 I live in Japan and visit Disney Sea at least once a year.

[@bradkoerner1]

Tom - why don't you find a pair of eyeglasses with the built-in camera for recording the attractions discretely?

[@WDWNT]

I don’t think they do prescription?

[@traciecombs7030]

Why is the food so challenging in Tokyo Disney? They excel at everything else...🤷‍♀️I dont get it..

[@a61374]

They spend the least on food I guess and focus more on others. For locals and even tourists Tokyo is a short distance away by subway or car ride. Why eat at Tokyo Disney Resorts when food in the city is much better and wayyyy cheaper?

[@SafetySpooon]

Goofy's outfit looks vaguely Mongolian....

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

Don't encourage your veiewers to film on attractions at T.D.R., Tom 🤦‍♂️ All it takes is just ONE gaijin tourists who accidentally drops his or her phone attempting to film the rides like Journey and Tower of Terror to cause the O.L.C. to make the exisiting rules even tighter or ban the use of any electronic devices on attractions. The animoisty towards foreign tourists among Japanse park goers or even citizens, in general, is already high as is. We love foreign tourists who are respectful and obey by our rules and manners; we just don't need gaijin who break our rules and end up bothering (called 迷惑) us here in Japan. The American mentality of "It's okay, let them complain. I'm filming safely." doesn't work in Japan. Things get stricter and stricter or outright banned when someone breaks our rules VERY quickly. What happened to the Lawson near Mt.Fuji is the most recent instance I could give you. You don't wanna be that guy who ruins Japan for everyone else. If you do come across someone filming like that guy sitting in front of you on Journey, please tell them not to do it.

[@2kiptwitify]

you seem more like 'that guy' that you are complaining about than anyone else. Let people be.

[@timothywolleck7628]

Ok Karen

[@a61374]

You need to calm down. This is a theme park, a lot of the people take pictures or record videos here. No one complains about it.

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

@@a61374 You don't understand how Japan and its culture function. Over here. the rules are rules, and you will be ashamed and labeled as a disgrace in one way or another if you disobey them. People self police each other in Japan unlike any other nations. Tokyo Disney is NOT your Disney: it is OUR Disney resort. Japan is not a theme park where tourists come in and create their social media contents in ways that disrupt our rules and standards. Tom and one other gaijin tourist are clearly breaking the rules set by the O.L.C on Journey in this video just for the sake of their individual pleasure. There are way more rules in Japan than any other nations out there; some rules are clearly stated, while other ones are not. Nonetheless, the rules apply. Just a couple of days ago, as another example, Shibuya Ward decided to completely ban public drinking from 5pm to 5am all year around BECAUSE foreign tourists kept breaking laws and rules by throwing away trash on streets and causing a bunch of other issues. Things get cracked down VERY quickly here if you don't follow the rules. Hope you outsiders understand this if you wanna visit or live here. It's not me being a Karen: this is me warning you based on what I have seen and experienced as a Japanese citizen for more than three decades.

[@blubba818]

I was severely disappointed by Indy in DisneySea. Disneyland’s has better themeing and lighting by a long shot. DisneySea’s is just blue with a dumb crystal skull. The queue is fine, but it’s not better than Disneyland’s. Come on.

[@WDWNT]

No it’s not lol
