How We Planned Our Tokyo Disneyland Trip! | Hotels, Flights & Budget Info

[@emmagrace8691]

I bought my tickets from All Nippon Airways (ANA) which is one of the top airlines in the world. I paid $700 and it included meals and travel insurance. My plane to Japan ended up being a Pokémon themed plane. The plane from was Star Wars themed. The food was amazing and they had video games built into the monitors.

[@wolfdemon34]

Warning from a teacher in Japan!!! March is kinda like a mini summer vacation. All schools are completely off for pretty much the entire month. I would HIGHLY discourage from visiting at that time since the parks will be SUPER busy. Better times to come will be end of February (right before March) or after the first week of April once school starts up again 🙂 Also fun fact, schools are in full swing in June and majority of July. June is rainy and July is hot but parks will not be very crowded since kids are studying 🙂

[@belushalicious10]

I live in Tokyo and would recommend coming in October. My best friend visited then and got a direct flight from Chicago for $700 inc tax and fees. The weather was also pretty good (sometimes hot). If you have any questions, please ask! I’d love to help you guys have an even better trip next time!

[@kelpsyy]

Is there a week in October that you would recommend specifically?

[@belushalicious10]

Kelsey Amour I’d say any week would be okay. The closer it gets to Halloween the more crowded it’ll be. My best friend came October 8-15. We didn’t go to Disney but went to Universal Studios Japan and had a blast!

[@maurader32668]

Someone we know who has family in Japan and visits frequently suggested we go in late September/October. Do you recommend this as well?

[@vulpixvulpix9936]

awesome, I am planning to go in October hopefully next year or 2020. I live in Chicago :D Is it better to go in the beginning of October or late?

[@tinomacchia5410]

'Never been, but would love to visit TD in 2019. If you had to choose the perfect week for weather and smallest crowds, what would that be in October?

[@debbieericson1021]

I totally binge watched all your Tokyo videos this weekend. Such a fun trip! Great job showing the different experiences .

[@suzysavage1626]

My husband and I spent almost $5000 on our last Disney World trip (IN to Fl) so I would say you had a great deal on this trip.

[@tinomacchia5410]

Hi Suzanne, how long was your stay and where?

[@FreeTheOne1996]

I did seven days at Walt Disney World and seven days on the high seas at Halloween cruise on the fantasy and my ticket and everything I did except for food cost 3850.00

[@sofathepalooza]

I went for a month at end of January through end of February, I went for the snow and festivals and it was by far the best trip I’ve taken. It might have been the most expensive thing I’ve ever done, but I’d do it again in a heart beat. I’m so glad I upgraded my flight, as a tall guy the extra leg room/ space it was definitely worth it. Also most brand hotels have rooms with multiple single beds, or one queen, or one king.

[@JosePerez-oq6wl]

As long as you had fun and enjoyed it $$$$ comes and goes...we have to enjoy the now....Blessings

[@emmagrace8691]

That’s how you get into debt.

[@FreeTheOne1996]

That is absolutely not true I am not rich and I am retired and I save my money carefully and I plan carefully but you know what money comes and money goes my children and my vacation is way more important than all that crazy nutcase worry about money money money the world is so concerned about money yes I understand being careful but when it comes to a good time this family is going to have one instead of caring and worrying about every nickel and every dime not only rich people act like that so for you people who think you know it all take a vacation you need one!! Like mrs. Tracker said the people were wonderful and things were much cheaper than they thought so you know what live it up honey your on vacation!!

[@lauraarchibald1899]

I recommend going in October! We went for 10 days at the start of October, the weather was beautiful and they Disney parks were very quiet! Trips to Japan are expensive but 100% worth it!

[@jade9387]

You mentioned it was a sort of shock coming home due to the friendliness in japan, but me coming over to orlando from the uk, its a shock how friendly everyone is in florida!

[@DaRandomOhana]

I went to Tokyo disney in March this year and it was sooooo busy. We went during spring break. All the queues were 2+ hours. It was extremely cold for our family(46 degrees F) and it was cloudy. My cousins friends went the week after spring break and the rides were walk on.

[@marer1000]

Vacationing in Asia during Spring is the worst time of the year. That's when everyone is getting off for vacation over there.

[@belle2496]

From the end of January to March, Tokyo Disney usually offers us discount tickets for students. That's one of the reasons too.

[@charlotte_mariet3385]

The price you paid overall is not bad considering that it can cost up to and over $2000 per person to fly in just economy seats. When I went two years ago I got lucky to get economy tickets for $650 round trip per person. That was also during golden week too. I’ll have to try like you did and go in the middle of May when I can go again.

[@flippyunited6364]

Yay! The Tim Trackers are tracking another adventure for us!!!!!!!

[@kellonwheelz_66]

When I was living in Thailand and flying home for visits, I usually flew China Eastern with layovers in Shanghai. I flew a different Airline one time with a layover in Beijing and I was not fond of that airport at all. I always encourage people to leave their comfort zones and travel and I'm really glad you guys did. When I returned to the States, I was very culture-shocked. I absolutely loved being in Asia and I can't wait to get back there!

[@TYOrder1]

Also agree, when I went last month I stayed 2 nights at the hilton tokyo bay and 2 nights at the Disneyland hotel... save the money and stay at the hilton. The Disneyland Hotel just isn't worth it.

[@sharonpoe675]

I do have to say Tim and Jen this trip to Japan was some of the best vlogs you have put out for us viewers in my opinion. Love that you are getting more subscribers so you can travel more than just Disney Orlando and Universal in Florida. You both do such great jobs as vloggers. Soothing voices, fun, informative, descriptive, love for your viewers as well as love and respect for each other and the people around you. Hope to see more trips maybe more cities in Florida or Georgia, Savannah historic district could be nice. Just a thought from someone that thinks of you both as one of my favorite vloggers. Also thanks for breaking the cost down for your Tokyo trip for us travelers. Looked like a fantastic time. Take care.

[@hopefulton8669]

Flying within USA- check Southwest Airlines. And if you buy their tickets keep checking back every week because they have flash sales; and then u can first book new flash sale and then cancel original tickets. Note if you have a rewards account you get refund credited to to it for future use without expiration time. Or if you upgrade to next level before buying your flash sale tickets you can get a refund.

[@dyemooch]

Holy moly- Jen looks SUPER model-like in this one! Makeup, hair, shiney-eyes on point D: You look great, too, Tim. Your makeup is on point too, Tim. (really great video! Thanks for the information!)

[@nickandkatadventures1922]

We just did Disneyland Paris. We booked similar ways to you. My mom always stays on site but the price was so affordable off site that we were able to spend 4 days in the city of Paris. Now we really want to start saving to make a Tokyo trip, thanks for the ideas and tips!

[@cathedraldarkness]

I’d love to visit Japan. Sooooooooooo many awesome things! Thank you for these videos. Your trip looked incredible!!!

[@ericapearson149]

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! My mom and I have recently talked about going to Japan for the parks. This makes it seem much more possible!

[@samuelgonzalez1905]

I'm doing Disneyland later part of '19, Tokyo Disney '20 and Disney Paris '21.

[@therealstewyward]

How has covid affected your plans?

[@samuelgonzalez2924]

@@therealstewyward just keep pushing it back basically might visit Disneyland first then leave Tokyo for 2022 if the world still around.

[@therealstewyward]

@@samuelgonzalez2924 Gotcha, just wondering. We had to cancel our first WDW trip this year, and then the cruise we booked further out when we thought it might be safe again. Like you, I think we'll wait around for 2022. 😅 Good luck to you! I hope you can cross them all off of your bucket list soon!

[@MsKestrela]

I loved your Japan vlogs! I have wanted to go to Japan for years. I never had a bucket list before, but now Japan is #1 on it. This was informative and will play a part in my planning.

[@chrisevelyncass8298]

March isn't bad at all and the crowd levels are perfect!! I currently live in Japan with my husband who is in the Navy. I'm sad I missed you guys, I was at the parks a few weeks earlier. You keep my spirits up with all of the Disney updates that I miss so much!

[@Bianca-iw3fq]

In regards to purchasing your Disney park ticket online. I ran into the credit card issue too but I just called my bank and they authorized the transaction. So when I tried to purchase it again it went through the second attempt. You just need to contact your card company. I bought my Disney Sea tickets for April 😊 Super excited!

[@amyfollis1816]

Thank you for sharing your trip planning and experiences while at Disneyland Tokyo. I haven't ever had a desire to travel there and now I am telling my husband we need to go! :) You guys are the best!

[@brianchong1035]

Great video! You guys should plan a Shanghai Disneyland trip! Similar prices and just as fun!

[@juvetravels]

Nicely done guys. A little advice for your next trip. Half of the Japan Airlines (JAL) flights from LAX to Haneda and back are operated by American Airlines. When I went in 2017, the ticket through AA would of cost me $750, but I paid $550 booking the flight through JAL. The JAL web site will show you which flights are operated by AA. Tokyo Disney Resort used to pre sell their tickets online. The first 3 times we visited we were able to pre purchase them and we just took our printout and pick them up when we got there, but since 2015, we couldn't do that anymore. 2015 also marked the first year I started booking AirBNB for my Japan trips. Edogawa is close to Disney and we took the bus to and from the parks every day. It was also nice because we stayed in a nice neighborhood and got to get the local experience. I've stayed in Edogawa twice already and just love the area. Staying in an apartment gave us more room to move, we were able to cook a couple of times and it came with a WiFi hot spot with unlimited internet that we were able to take all over with us in case out T-Mobile lost a connection or just got too slow. I do plan to stay at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel at some point. The place just looks amazing, but I do hear the the Disney Ambassador Hotel is a better deal price wise.

[@biancabee7900]

I think visiting Tokyo Disney during the change of events eg. end of Halloween (end of October) into Xmas time (early November) is a good time to visit as you get to experience both events in one week. Avoid the weekends. During Halloween and Christmas the parks are decorated soooo beautifully, have outstanding parades, special food items and the cutest merchandise ever. The Japanese guests dress up during Halloween time and their outfits are AMAZING to see. I understand what you mean when you say you want to be surprised, but I also recommend watching KZbin videos of others visiting the TDR parks, before you go, as you get so many good ideas from others. A bit of knowledge before is good to have... even after all our trips, we are still learning new things.

[@hannahbootoyou]

I got back from Tokyo Disneyland at the weekend. I was there for 5 nights and the weather was great but was freakishly stormy too!

[@CoastingwithCulture]

With regard to getting cash for a foreign country, I have found that sometimes the best rates can be achieved just by getting cash from the ATM in that country. Granted, your bank may charge an international transaction fee and an ATM fee, but depending on the amount you take out, you could save a decent bit of cash (Even more if your bank doesn't charge such fees or has a partnership with certain foreign banks to allow you to use their ATMs). But if you are wanting to have cash ahead of your arrival, getting it from your bank is usually better than the exchange kiosks.

[@kennedybryan730]

Jen looks amazingly adorable and gorgeous in that headband!

[@laward33]

Thanks for all of the info. I have it on my bucket list for 5 years from now for my 50th birthday for me and my sister to go.

[@MissRyanAngel]

I'm planning a Shanghai, Hong Kong, Japan trip and I also want to see the cities so it's definitely going to take a few years to get the time/money together.

[@ViewlessWings]

Visited Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea years ago on business a couple of times and it was amazing. Definitely a bucket list item to repeat with my family. And met Tim at the Toy Story Land Preview - a terrific person in person!

[@Morkins324]

If travelling from Florida to Japan, I recommend going through Chicago rather than LAX. Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airlines both have major US hubs in Chicago(ORD) and their pricing is very similar to what you can find through LAX. However, the flight from MCO/TPA to ORD is much cheaper than the flight to LAX

[@meggywebb]

I had the same thing with the anxiety about language barriers when I went to Disneyland Paris. My French isn’t amazing and I was on my own, but once they realise you aren’t French they switch to English. I really hope to go to Tokyo one day. Thanks for the advice on booking.

[@Sew_Up_North]

This reminds me of when my husband and I went to Paris for 10 days in May and we did Disneyland Paris - which is great! Wait times are low and the experience was great. We spent about the same amount of money total, and stayed in the city center

[@jenniferlocke8401]

Thanks for all the great tips! One thing I learned going to England and Ireland was you get a better exchange rate for cash by using the ATM in the airport in England and Ireland. Just don't forget to let your bank know that your traveling so they don't lock your ATM card up when you try to use it. Thanks guys for the great videos!!

[@brittaniharrison1069]

I can't believe you guys didn't do Universal Studios Japan! I went to Japan during September and the day trip we took to Osaka to go to USJ was literally one of my favorite days ever! They were doing HHN when we were there and we got to experience some of the houses during a normal day at Universal which was such a cool experience! We picked up a ticket during the beginning of the day that gave us a time to go back to the haunted houses without having to wait and once we were there, they sent us off into the house in a group of 6 with a bed sheet with knots that we had to all hold onto. They also had scare zones throughout the park which was such a treat for a HHN fan, especially considering we didn't have to purchase an extra ticket. The Hollywood Dream Coaster was literally the smoothest coaster I've ever been on & Space Fantasy was what we called the Japanese Mummy. Don't miss USJ when you go back!!! We got roundtrip tickets from Dallas to Tokyo for $550 each with Delta. We drove 7 hours from our home to Dallas and stayed with friends one night so we wouldn't have to buy extra plane tickets to Dallas.

[@brittanymascucchini6176]

This was so incredibly helpful!! I definitely have more realistic expectations now for my bucket list Tokyo Disney trip! Your vlogs helped me convince my boyfriend, who is terrified of international travel, to one day visit! We’re both so excited now. Thanks Tim & Jenn!!

[@MMMost]

Thanks so much for sharing all this info! It’s very generous of you to take the time to share so much. It’s a bucket list trip for me, but I’ve enjoyed living vicariously through you guys for now :)

[@melissanguyen8565]

Japan is awesome I lived there for 2 years back in 1992 to 1994 and I loved it so much. It is very easy to communicate there because they want to learn English. I also went to Disneyland it was so amazing to go there. It looked different when i was there they didn't have the cover over main street yet. But i do remember it being so clean. Disney sea was not there yet. So i didn't get to do that. I hope to go back someday. Your videos really made me want to go back. Thank you. They were great

[@lesliefreeman5169]

So so so helpful!!! We are trying to decide between Tokyo, Shanghai, and Paris!

[@maryloufarnsworth8461]

Glad you mentioned the language issue. Several years ago I went to Italy with a friend. My friend was Italian, but I spoke very little of the language. It didn't matter. I had a great time and people were friendly and patient. My advice - learn some basic phrases and make the effort to speak the language. Above all, be polite and you will have a great time.

[@mttemple4249]

Loved this--thanks! Someone might've mentioned this but yes, TDR does make you reserve *certain rooms* one night at a time. For instance, on one trip I was able to reserve five nights in one reservation for the Disneyland Hotel, but conversely a room at the MiraCosta needed to be booked one night at a time, the day reservations opened up. Making sure you book the same category of room each time means you can then stay in that same room the entire trip. But yes, the Hilton is much, much easier! It's true that many credit cards do not "play nicely" with online booking, but some do. I have a text alert set up on one of my cards and when I try to book something in Japan I'll get a potential fraud text, reply that it really is me trying to do it, and try again and it will go through. :)

[@kerstirose.]

Totally appreciate you guys discussing prices in this vlog/"podcast." 😉 A lot of people discuss planning trips without cost details and that is super important info! Loved the vid!

After watching your videos on Tokyo, we now want to go.

[@carolwhittlesea7683]

What a good Tim and jenn tracker talk that is so good. That must have been so lovely in Tokyo so nice glad you both fun.

[@Spudeaux]

Hello Tim! I was just wondering if you would be able to do a video tour of MCO like you've done for all of the Disney and Universal resorts. I picked my sister up from there once and it's can be a pretty overwhelming place. About lost my car even though I parked very close to the terminal. Might not be the easiest thing to do, but I think many people who are travelling in for the first time would really appreciate it.

[@poopybutt29]

Spudeaux ...What a great idea!

[@pilotdrift05]

I love that canned video music!!!! Makes me think of all Disney travel vids!

[@clintlamberth6288]

[@teresaannett8660]

[@accioholiday5484]

Really intriguing. So much cheaper than I imagined. Food for thought.

[@dianaweyand8797]

Loved the info on Toyko Disney. Want to plan trip in future. I would not have thought about going, but you guys made it sound amazing. Again what a cute couple. It seemed that Jen’s eyes were glistening.

[@maaddmax17]

Having just done a similar trip watching their planning video makes me feel better about how much we spent. 3 of us for 5 nights at Tokyo Disneyland hotel was $1600. And we had a view of the park from our room. And our airfare was $770 but that also included a leg in Shanghai and a leg in Hong Kong.

[@Yu-yq6tu]

End of January to first week of March is the slowest time to visit Tokyo Disney. But it can be snowing and very cold. check out park hours and if it’s shorter than normal hours like 8:00-22:0 or 9:00-22:00, that means it’s slow day.

[@Yu-yq6tu]

And if you stay at shinurayasu area which is right next to TDR train station called maihama station, it must get be cheaper. Only one stop farther. And train will be always running after park close. Also you get to Tokyo station straight. So it’s kind a convince!

[@mgunter]

I'm guessing the 4 days thing is to get new people in the hotel since it's popular.

[@helenmckenna4368]

Going in January for the parks and a cruise. Can’t wait

[@tomsinsky5548]

I'd suggest spending 2 (or 3 max!) days at the parks, then spending more time in Tokyo, and going to Kyoto.

[@RatherBeOnFire]

Interesting Fact: Part of the reason for some of the booking/payment quirks you guys encountered through the Tokyo Disneyland site has to do with the fact that TDL (and DisneySea) actually aren't owned or operated by Disney. (Though Disney has a good deal of creative control, they don't call all the shots.) They're the only Disney Parks in the world not owned/operated by Disney themselves. Definitely not the easiest parks to directly book as a foreigner, but once you're there, I think they're easy and enjoyable to navigate. Glad you guys made it there smoothly and had good time. :)

[@themagician96]

That pricing is actually pretty good. I went 2 years ago and travelled across the whole country over 2.5 weeks. I went in late March early April, and for flights, accommodation and all transport was about $2500. Then I spent about $2000 which was food, Universal Studios, snow day and other activities. So $4500 for one person in a peak time. That’s just my guide for anyone.

[@reliev33]

Tim pro tip when I used to book my own travel Google flights searches everything and will even track everything for you. Multi leg layovers hotels etc good video

[@steve98]

Awesome, this is super helpful info. If you go again you should layover at Honolulu and spend a couple of nights at Disney Aulani it is incredible!

[@jaypr69]

Use Sky Scanner when looking for flights as you can select whole months rather than individual dates and choose what dates are cheaper than others to fly on. It can save you a lot of money.

[@erikagholston6610]

[@coconutanddvanilla]

my partner and i are planning on going to Japan for 3 weeks in around March/April 2019.. I think booking holidays our self will save us so much money... so far the most expensive thing has been the flights.

[@simonw5851]

I like all the information. Still kinda scared to watch your videos from Tokyo in case I get jealous. :) Will watch sometime, I have them saved for later!

[@TheCoasterLisa]

I know the exchange rate changes daily but it appears that the conversion rate from USD to yen (en) is pretty good. The exchange rate isn’t so good from USD to euro. It’s always good to check it the day you purchase international flights, hotels, and spending cash. We’re not far from the Canadian border and always look into this right before we leave. Sometimes you can get a good rate in the states or after entering another country. But it constantly changes.

[@gabllie8820]

Definitely my sis and I are looking for a trip like this one!!! Maybe in a few years... but can’t wait!! Thanks guys!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@Greenkai3000]

We flew on Singapore Airlines from LAX to NRT for $499.00 rt. Best service and awesome flight ever! You should try them next time. The have deals throughout the year. Oh, and avoid going around Valentines. Ana and Elsa's Frozen Fantasy, and Duffy's Heart Warming days notwithstanding....It's frigid cold, and the parks are full of HS and Jr HS students. The crowds make South American tour groups at WDW look like a dead slow day at the parks.

Great info. Starting preliminary planning for a trip in 2022, including hopefully Universal Osaka. I need to crack out my college Japanese texts and see if I remember any of it after 20 years. We will have to go during the busier summer time though, due to school. Any trip there is better than none though. Loved the videos of the parks too. I looked away when you had some ride videos.

[@angelmichelle666]

I'm glad someone else books trips like me - I book direct with flights and hotels because I always have a fear that they will turn around and say my booking doesn't if I booked through 3rd party sites; its nice to have a little peace of mind before travelling. Also, with the google translate app you can take pictures of text and it will translate-great for Asian countries!

when i went i paid 420.00 for a round trip during a black Friday deal (normally 600 is a good deal by them) and used Singapore air which btw is the BEST. We live in California though so that def helps save too. Went and stayed for 3 weeks and made the most of it, But wishing we spent more time in the Disney parks and visited universal , Universal Japan is really awesome...they even have a sailor moon ride lol.

[@TYOrder1]

I don't understand why people use travel agents... the internet makes things too easy.

[@connorlibby9652]

I think mainly because they feel more confident that if something goes wrong with flights, hotel esc they have someone to fall back on to take care of the problems for them so they arn't alone. I know tim and jenn said in another video once that they have a travel agent and when they stayed at Port Orleans french quarter they had some problems with the room so they called up the travel agent and the travel agent took care of it with the resort for them so they didn't have to worry about confronting anyone and the travel agent often has more pull with the resorts because after so long of doing it they know tips and tricks and get to know people at the hotels and airlines and so they are able to get more done for you then if you were doing it yourself. At least that is from my understanding why people use them. I never do for our Disney trips we just plan it ourselves because i've always found that things are more expensive going through a travel agent then when I book things myself.

[@lesliecorbin2122]

The main reason to use a travel agent is if you can either get a better price or more free perks. Sometimes travel agents do volume purchase pricing which you can't do and that can be beneficial. Other than that, you are better off making your own arrangements so that if something does go wrong you never have to wait for a travel agent to assist you - especially if the problem happens during times when the travel agency is not open. Always think about this: If you want to change your travel plans, upgrade your room, change flights or need to cancel, then you have to go through the travel agency if you used one. Without a travel agent you are 100% in control of your own reservations.

[@cherylbrookes7454]

In the uk we get ABTA protection so if anything goes wrong or your flight cancelled or a hurricane comes along etc then you are looked after and not left to fend for yourself. It makes life a lot easier especially when the French air traffic control decide to go on strike constantly lol.

[@sburris65]

Lady Lyria..travel agents get paid from the vendors. Unless they are doing extensive planning, they do no charge a fee.

[@sburris65]

Travel agents help you with planning and have a relationship with the vendors and will be there if there are any problems.

[@vanessabergamin1260]

We went once March 23 end of March and it was great not to hot not to cold some days really hot. Second time went in October and was awesome! Nice warm weather some days very hot (few) and Halloween at Tokyo Disney was the best!!! We stayed in business hotel Villa Fontain and it came with breakfast and was really cheap and they have them all over Tokyo, however very small rooms!
