Tokyo Disneyland Review and Overview: Weirdly Spectacular

[@SakuDiary]

21:23 I have to thank you so much. Thank you very much. I'm always so extremely sad when people say Tokyo Disney is so cheap and everything is so much cheaper. I always cry because of course, if you have euros or dollars everything seems so cheap. You finally get to the point in a report about Japan, or rather about Tokyo Disney. For people like me who only have yen, it's not cheap at all. Many people don't understand that. So thank you very much for your great explanation

[@mutation173]

Still, compared to Disneyland Anaheim where life is more expensive and pay is super low it is even more expensive for the Cali locals. I do think OLC is going a bit too far with paid extra's.

A bit off-topic, but both of your guys narration styles & voices are so soothing/elite to listen to. Mix that with top-tier B-roll & reviews/rankings of parks us Americans dont get to frequent often and it makes for a bunch of must-see videos 👏👏 thank you both

My wife is Japanese..and her house only 1 hour by train...so been blessed to have gone a number of times....and yes, out of the Magic Kingdom (12 times) Disneyland (4x) and Tokyo Disney (3 times)..i'd say it's the best! And most affordable!

[@wavelength3856]

Most enthusiastic Spinner operators ever!! I absolutely LOVE the new format of this review, where you give a detailed overview of what the park does in a category and THEN give it a score for that category. Hoping to see more reviews in the same vein!

Because i visited Disneyworld with my parents in 1982, Tokyo Disneyland made me super nostalgic because so much feels slightly retro which i absolutely loved. Also the welcoming friendliness of the Japanese cast members made my visit even better. It’s those little interactions that really can make or break a day. Thank you for your perfectly narrated content. There are plenty of Disneypark vlogs i simply can’t stand the voice, timing and delivery of the vlogger… your videos are relaxing and elegant. 👌🏽

Before loud voices rise again and say "what costumes are you allowed to wear as an adult in Tokyo?" here is my explanation. Yes and no. Only in the Halloween season is it permitted to wear costumes in the park under very strict rules and guidelines. This is usually for 1.5 months, although this year it was only one month because it was warm for a long time in Tokyo and so they only made the Halloween season last one month. I had seen too often on Instagram (or TikTok) that many people think that you can always come to Tokyo in costume. As I said, this is wrong. The rules in the Halloween season are also really strict and must be observed. But what is true is that here in Tokyo Disneyland it is absolutely normal to always go to the park in extremely pretty dresses and handbags and usually high heels, especially in Tokyo DisneySea. I'm always a bit shocked when I see how visitors come to the USA or Paris, either just in trousers and a T-shirt and a backpack or, especially in the USA, in extremely skimpy outfits. Of course, there's nothing wrong with either, but I feel much more comfortable in Tokyo in that regard. I hope my feelings aren't looked upon with disdain here. I just wanted to report how different Tokyo is from the other parks, and if someone wants to visit Tokyo and wants to dress elegantly, this is absolutely the right place for it. greetings from Tokyo

Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea are my favorite Disney parks, and I have been to all of them except Hong Kong. The prices for everything are so reasonable it's almost offensive.

Boys love it! Can we have the podcast back please!!

I got to visit Tokyo Disney Resort a few years ago, and while Tokyo DisneySea blew me away, I was a bit surprised at just how much I ended up liking Tokyo Disneyland. I was expecting it to be a "best of" park, combining sections from both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom, and I thought I might feel like too much familiarity. What I found was that it was just the right amount of nostalgia mixed with new things. Everything at Tokyo DisneySea was new to me, but since so much was already familiar at Tokyo Disneyland, I felt more comfortable, and the new things were like sweet surprises. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Tokyo DisneySea; it's stunning. But, I liked Tokyo Disneyland so much more than I thought I would and had a really great time there.

12:14 "Might be the best Mickey and the Adjective Noun Show" lmfao

[@jones696]

Great review! Gotta get you guys over to Europe to experience some of the parks over here! Disneyland Paris, Efteling, EuropaPark. Would love to hear your reviews

[@cgimovieman]

I’ve lived just 4-5 miles directly north of Magic Kingdom in Orlando for 27 years now, have friends in Urayasu, where Tokyo Disney is, and have been to Japan twice. I only have been to Tokyo Disney Sea, and just for the last 4-5 hours the park was open. I was much more interested in cultural things and otherwise completely unique to Japan while over. But from my short experience at Disney Sea and knowing a lot about the Disney parks, I’d say that a huge part of why Tokyo Disney excels, is that it has fewer restrictions both in budget and creativity as the other Disney parks. Being owned by the Oriental Land Co. with only licensing from Disney, the parks are really allowed to spread their wing more freely. And it shows. The parks in America are very dictated by corporate decisions and money in a way that the Japanese parks are not. I really wish that Disney’s other non-Japanese parks, especially in America, would take note of this and make changes.

First time i catch a reviewtyme video as soon as its uploaded hahaha Excited to watch it now :D

[@cookimaus1]

Almost two decades? nah, Hunny Hunt is coming up on two and a half next year!

[@jonathansakura]

I live in Tokyo 🗼 But I'm originally a Florida native that used to have the annual passes to the Disney World parks and I still prefer these 😊

[@ZontarDow]

TokyoDisney is the type of place where for me it'd have to be a once in a lifetime trip to go due to how far it is, I plan on one day doing a 3 week trip to Japan to visit places in and around Tokyo and Osaka.

[@CapeSIX]

This time next year I’ll be going… 🤞 I hope splash can fight for another year

[@junglehero1274]

Less dumb changes to the rides is a plus in my opinion. The trenchcoats over Jessica Rabbit for example, or keeping Splash Mountain as it is.

[@SirBuzz]

Don't forget they didn't touch the iconic Redhead auction scene on PotC. No cringey Redd the Pirate.

[@SirBuzz]

The video is really good aside from the sn0wflake comments about the rides not being censored. No one was offended by these attractions until Disney told everyone they should be.

[@sunshinemuldoon]

100%

[@raydawn675]

Walt Disney World years ago got rid of the original tiki room and installed Under New Management and the public absolutely hated it as that you don't mess with one of Walt's original attractions that he created. And apparently the tiki Gods didn't like it as a fire destroyed a lot of the set it was put back to its original state

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

It has Splash Mountain, it already beats the American parks on a base level

[@RankingTheMouse]

[@SirBuzz]

I hope OLC knows they are sitting on a goldmine keeping Splash Mountain alive. I would go to Tokyo Disneyland just to ride Splash and I know a lot of people will, too.

[@RireV]

Love the resort. but I hate (!) the lottery system and premier pass. Also don't like Fantasy Springs, it just doesn't fit into Tokyo DisneySea. And the adjecent Fantasy Springs hotel, a big NO all around for me!

[@AXander1978]

Marc Davis purism >> "updates"

[@Hanagasumi]

9:08 this is not the normal park, this is exactly the time when the parade ends. The streets are not always so crowded. It is a short time, but it never causes any difficulties

[@history_leisure]

A lot of people would say the aged parts would be drawbacks to this park. Seriously, it does get cold in Tokyo-OLC can afford to close the park to redo the paths for 5 days-2 weeks in January (I guess they could close Tomorrowland for a full overhaul in the final months before NEW Space Mountain for a full facelift and random 48 segments for parts of Westernland, Critter Country, and Fantasyland in Phases

[@nemesiscv]

"Best entertainment in any Disney Parks" : Disneyland Paris 👋 But overall I agree with everything else!

[@history_leisure]

I've also thought of a weird Idea that Splash Mountain should be in a new themed area with Haunted Mansion and expand on Japanese culture of ghosts ad Yokai-It would be original and get away from Song of the South (or do Villains Mountain and just copy the animatronics for Magic Kingdom's Villains dark ride to save R&D cost while not building two of the exact same thing)

[@SirBuzz]

Leave Splash Mountain alone for the love of God. Keep the manufactured outrage in the 2020 summer of love where it belongs.

[@abbybrace2756]

Barely any STAR WARS is a deal breaker for me! California is way better

[@Hanagasumi]

star wars is not a big thing in Japan, so it makes no sens to do it. Same with Marvel. Tokyo Disney Resort are build for the Japanese audience and there interest

[@이마크-r8e]

They built and change the park depending on what the locals want. If they aren't into Star Wars then you wont see anything other than Star Tours.

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

Star Wars is NOT Disney; it's Fox unless you want the woke Star Wars by Disney lol The IP itself has a ton of fans here in Japan, which is why we are hosting the next Star Wars Celebration. However, when it comes to the theming and what should fit into Tokyo Disney Resort, Star Wars does not make sense at all outside of Star Tours because the majority of Disney fans and Tokyo Disney goers are FEMALES of all ages. The rule of thumb is if Japanese Disney products are not catered to females, they wouldn't sell at Tokyo Disney Resort and Disney Store Japan; Star Wars is an IP beloved among males but not females especially in Japan. With that said, we, Japanese, make the BEST Star Wars action figures and other collectables in the world.

The baymax ride apparently has a cult about it 🫨
