Hi! I have a little video idea if you don’t mind. I’ve always wanted to go to Tokyo Disneyland but I’m plus size, around 280lbs and I don’t know if I’ll fit most of the rides so if you have any advice on the rides or knows someone who’s been there that can help that would be great.

[@darkraven2116]

I think reducing capacity so that people can have a better experience is such a smart idea. I'll never forget waiting 3 hours for Space Mountain in 2014, then the ride feeling like it only lasted for 30 seconds.

[@tdrexplorer]

I'm glad they're doing this but the trade will likely be increased prices in tickets. We've been fortunate to have lower ticket prices but I can see that not being the case in the next few years. I'm OK with paying a bit more if that means the experience is going to be more pleasant. I've been in the Parks when they've been at capacity years ago and it wasn't fun at all.

[@bpsara]

@@tdrexplorer yeah, price increase is technically what they started doing in the US parks, and while that meant a lot of people wouldn’t be able to go vacation there, it still didn’t do that much difference crowd wise.

[@brclyn]

I like that Japan is looking to cut numbers to bring ride waits down, adversely US are charging more to skip the lines if you don't want to wait for hours. Seems like Japan has more of the WALT spirit than, his own park has. 😢

[@tdrexplorer]

I'm happy that they're doing it too. With lower capacity, I can see our ticket prices going up a lot, but we will have to wait and see.

[@brclyn]

@@tdrexplorer I'd rather pay more and know I'm going to get on rides, than pay more to get in, then pay for Genie +, THEN pay again for Lightning Lane.

[@paul.martens]

TDR is so cheap too!

[@77Scarlet]

I was at Disneyland a few days ago and the Lightening lines were all longer than the standby line. You are paying extra to wait in a long line BUT the standby line will not move until everyone in the Lightening lane gets through. There were 10 people in standby line for Space Mtn & minimum of 500 people in Lightening Lane

[@brclyn]

@@77Scarlet This is a good thing. The more it happens, the more people we stop paying to ride.

[@allygator651]

I remember making the mistake of going to TDR in the middle of summer for Japanese schools, and it was doable but agreeably soul-crushing as I felt that I was just waiting in lines the entire day. Unfortunately had to skip Haunted Mansion because the lines were INSANE. Hopefully the reduced capacity does help wait times.

[@tdrexplorer]

I remember being in the parks during peak periods and it was so unpleasant (Any Park is unpleasant when it's at capacity this isn't unique to just Japan). I'm OK with a reduced capacity to make things more enjoyable. Hard to say if what we see now is the new normal or not though, we've been in such a weird flux for the last year and a half.

[@bpsara]

I remember visiting the Magic Kingdom during July with my family and boy it was awful people-density wise. Not just with long lines (we still had the fast pass system back in 2014, thankfully) but slowly walking through the crowds themselves and the lack of space to move many times throughout the day was the most exhausting for me

[@BasementMermaid]

As a person whose “home park” is WDW, the fact that I’m seeing Splash and Space Mountain clock times at 10 minutes makes me jealous!

[@kourtneyhill2916]

Lol same! That just doesn’t exist in WDW. Everything has been a long wait lately.

[@alorachan]

same! I grew up going to Disneyland in cali and you seriously had to go off off season for lower queue times, but it was usually always unheard of even then for something like Space Mountain to be less than 30 minutes. What's wild to me is I'm going to Disneyland Paris soon and been monitoring line times in their app, their Haunted Mansion (Phantom Manor) and Pirates nearly ALWAYS have a 5 minute wait :O

[@77Scarlet]

@@alorachan 😱 Disneyland is my home park too. We are going to WDW for Christmas but 2023 will be going to Paris. Thank you for the Paris Park info. I had no idea ✨💕✨

[@adamn5228]

One of the fun things about going to Disneyland or DisneySea alone is that there is no one to slow you down. Yes, it is fun going with friends and family. But once in a while when you are on your own, you can go hard: Rides, food and drinks. You lucky man. Despite the Japanese heat, I see you had a great time. Keep the awesome videos coming. 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@SpiderGirl42]

Can you do a followup video doing all the non-ride attractions and open rides you missed? This is good info!

[@tdrexplorer]

I plan to do an entertainment type video at some point that would include the non-ride attractions.

[@sburgess3489]

I woke up panicking this morning because I'm going here in like a month and then my sister talked about que times (for reference, I've never ever been to a Disney land or even a theme park in my life so I have no idea about these things) so genuinely this was really helpful for me to think about what I can prioritise, and I picked a day where it would be less busy so this video was super helpful for thinking about wait times and stuff - super appreciate it!!!!!

[@busabasu621]

RIDE! Love it! Please do for Disneysea as well.

[@tdrexplorer]

That's the plan! thank you for watching.

[@VisoDatsun710]

Love it! Great commentary and overview of a productive park visit. Hope to see one for Disney Sea sometime as well!

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching, Viso! I try to give some practical advice and information while I'm running around.

[@yasminawad726]

Rides! This video is sooo good for the people who’ll have just one day to visit Tokyo Disneyland (like me) 💗 i loved it! Really informative and well done! Thanks for keeping us updated on everything 🥰

[@princessanthony7538]

we actually rode the beauty and the beast around after lunch and it only had a 15-10 minutes wait. we went on a Tuesday so it definitely depends!! absolutely loved this, you put so much effort in your videos!

[@tdrexplorer]

Yup! Wait times can vary, so keep an eye on the app! I think, if I remember correctly, on this day it only got down to 20 mins later in the evening and was between 30-45 in the late afternoon or something. Our parks are in a weird state of flux so it's tough to see the patterns just yet. Especially with the introduction of the Disney Premier Access. Thank you for watching!

[@m1nouz384]

Pleaseeeee do this for Disney Sea!! This was such a good video!

[@noon3055]

The colors of small worlds facade are amazing! Wish the one here in CA was that way 😍

Shellie from New York here! Just rewatched your video and will be following your advice for RIDEs tomorrow!! Thank You!

[@ellaofficiel]

Oh my I'm laughing with you at the exhaustion part 🤣 I hope you had a nice dinner afterwards! This is so hopeful in navigating the park~~ gonna be our first time in Disneyland this April!

[@RavenMichaelis]

I would kill for that low capacity and wait times here in florida......it is fascinating to see so few people standing in front of the castle.

[@tdrexplorer]

After being here in Florida for a few weeks, I can see why. oofff the wait times are no joke. Thank you for watching!

[@corvus2450]

Hi Explorer! In case there is Hercules merchandising in TDR, could you make a video of it? (this year is the 25th anniversary). Thanks for your fantastic videos from another fan of Chip 'n Dale 😊

[@JellyJerryy]

the pooh ride wait times are so smart and cute!

[@tdrexplorer]

I had to share what the different numbers meant cause it's so clever! It also doesn't make sense unless you know Japanese, so it was worth explaining. Thank you for watching!

So glad I found your channel!!

[@mattbib4508]

I slept so good that night, hahah! I hope you get to visit soon. Thank you for watching!

[@tokyodisneydadakaAnpa]

RIDES--Loved this video, one of your best ever--I can’t sing the praises of it enough and will be sharing it out. I know how tiring running around trying to create a video and ride as many attractions as possible can be, I’ve done it for my own tinny tiny channel. I accomplished 19 I think 🤔 but I refuse to ride Snow White- the witch scares me 😂 I consider myself somewhat of a pro on Tokyo Disney resort, visited the first time when it wasA-E ticket system and the Sky buckets were actually still in the park. Was at Disney SEA on opening day. Having said that though it amazes me at how well your videos are done. Both very entertaining while teaching and sharing knowledge. Standing O for that. Even us old timers can learn something new or be reminded of things we have forgotten. Next time if you need a camera carrier or bag carrier just give me a call and I’d be glad to support the kindness you share by sharing Tokyo Disney Resort with the world.

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you, TokyoDisney Dad! I may have to take you up on that offer, hahah. That Snow White attraction is pretty rough too, you're thrown around quite a bit. I'd love to see ours redone to the same as the one in California.

So fun seeing all of these rides because despite going in the middle of the week and in a supposedly okay month I had the worst luck with wait times and couldn’t ride much. It was such a disappointing time and I’m looking forward to being able to go back and try again. I love that they’re going to reduce capacity. I’d rather pay a bit more and know the experience won’t be a bit like torture!

When I visited Magic Kingdom at WDW last summer for my birthday, thanks to the lower capacity/park reservations and no Fastpass (or Lightning Lane as that had not been rolled out yet), it was one of the best visits I'd ever had to that park (and I've been a WDW regular since the late 70s). I was able to do all the attractions I wanted to go on (plus a few I hadn't planned on riding but did them because they had low wait times), plus had a nice sit-down lunch at Skipper Canteen. It was an exhausting day but was also totally worth it. Oh and.... RIDES!

[@oliverrea3924]

TDR Explorer have you ever done the Paris Space Mountain it is insanely different it’s more like a different version of Aerosmith than Space Mountain If I came to Disney Tokyo I would definitely try and do and see everything that’s always my goal in theme parks. So hope I can get out there soon. Keyword: ride

Hi TDR Explorer! Greatly appreciate your posts! Planning a visit to Tokyo Disneyland tomorrow. Bought your Tokyo Disneyland guide. I have a question about the strategy of seeing Beauty and the Beast first. At 5:30 of your post, it seems Beauty and the Beast was at 35 mins (assuming around lunchtime?). Instead of waiting 60+ mins for Beauty and the Beast at the beginning of the day, should we wait until around lunchtime?

[@shademar3]

Did it feel weird going to theme park alone? I wanted to visit TDR on my solo travel but being alone while waiting for the queue sounds boring, no one to talk to and playing on phone makes me worried about the battery.

[@tdrexplorer]

Not at all, in fact I usually prefer it! While I do love going with friends and family, I get to do what I want on my own schedule. Buy yourself a portable battery for your phone (they also have portable batteries to rent in the Parks). Thank you for watching!

[@miki_mochi]

Were these wait times due to the pandemic or did I just go at a terrible time? ^^;; I went last wednesday (June 28th) and everything always had at least a 20 minute wait but usually 30+. Beauty and the Beast at its lowest was I think 70 minutes but mostly 90+ iirc. The only ride I recall that was like 10 minutes was Gadget's Go Coaster. I should have had the thought to go during the pandemic but for whatever reason I didn't. lol. I did go to universal during it and got to ride Harry Potter like 3 or 4 times with most of those being pretty much walk on which was amazing, so I have no idea why I didn't think "Oh yes, I should go to Disney too". But ... eh, missed opportunity. :(

I’ve been going to Tokyo Disneyland since 1993. I’ve gone in almost every month of the year. I have probably been there around 100 days in total. I have been there on blistering hot days, and freezing cold. I’ve been there when it rained the entire day. I’ve been there when it snowed. I have even been during a typhoon. I have never seen it anywhere near as dead as you experienced on that day. Not even close. What you did would have never been possible before 2020.
