i've been a fan of your channel for many years as it was always my ultimate goal to go to japan and visit their amazing amusement parks. Your personality is so wholesome and your content is so comforting! However, now I am FINALLY going to tokyo soon and I could not be more excited! :) Keep up the great work!

I WISH YOU THE BEST

Wow! The Mickey Waffles at Tokyo Disney are much bigger than the Mickey Waffles in the US Disney parks, cruise ships, and Aulani!

[@tdrexplorer]

That's good to know!

[@paigecockerton7630]

Just went to disney sea and Disneyland for the first time last week! So happy to be able to watch this video to not feel so sad I had to leave 😅 your videos also helped me have the best trip ever!

Perfect Sunday video, have a great day Chris and thank you for always sharing your day with us :)

[@tdrexplorer]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching

[@almasplushbin]

I'm dying at all the cute towels!!! The iced capp thing made me CACKLE they really dont stay frozen for very long 🤣🤣

[@tdrexplorer]

The moment I drank the smoothie, I thought, "This is an Iced Cap!" hahaha

[@LittleLostBunny]

Huzzah! I was waiting to get a summer update. We are heading to the parks for the first time next week and I was hoping to get a sneak peek! It’s been SO hot here in Tokyo lately and I’m looking forward to the water experiences! Do you think I should bring a bag or something to keep my cameras dry?

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching! I used my GoPro during the water show, which is waterproof. It depends on your camera and how much you're willing to risk it potentially getting wet.

[@marshamason3295]

We are coming in April 2024….should I wait until we get closer to buy the guide?

[@ViolenziaDomestica]

OoOo the vintage tee was super cute, the mini tote was overpriced but looked great. The black tote with the added pouch was a better deal and I’m the inside pattern sold me. It’s great that you still Ooh and Ahh over things even after all this time!! It’s genuine and makes for an enjoyable watching experience.

[@bunniesisland]

"I like my bags to make a statement." Me too! I love it!

[@coomb77]

Traveling to Tokyo with my daughter from the UK arriving 1st September. Can't wait to do Disney and try all the amazing food you've highlighted. We've been watching your channel all year and to say we're excited is an understatement. Eeeeeee!!!

[@april_boyle]

I love how (sorry there is no other word for it) SASSY you are being in this visit!! I laughed out loud a few times. Keep it up 😂✌🏻❤

[@staceybower4437]

Hi chris, Came across your channel by chance and absolutely love it We always wanted to go to America for Disneyland and the other parks. But now we are planning Japan thanks to you. ❤ love your content especially the merchandise.

[@tdrexplorer]

That's awesome! The parks in Japan are special to me, so it makes me happy that you're wanting to come. Thank you for watching

[@nana.addict.t]

for the past few days i have been binging ur vids so when i saw i new video i really screamed out in joy🎉🎉

[@tdrexplorer]

Did you sound like me screaming at the beginning of this video hahaha.

[@MioMaiaRaia]

I really enjoy your all of your content, but the Disney videos just hit different! Thanks for always being so thorough and fun to watch Chris!!

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching!

[@micchan_7]

Hi Chris san. The T-shirt you are wearing in this video is very nice! Though I have subscribed to your channel only recently, I really enjoy your video every time.

[@pattilee9716]

This was by far your funniest video of the park - felt like I was there with you. The heat is not fun but u still mde the best of it n it sure was fun: esp the popcicle melting down to ur elbows...Oh my!!!! I luv the Queen of Hearts meals and atmosphere. Miss going but hope to go soon. Take care, stay well, and looking forward to more chuckles fm you!!!!

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching! That ice bar was melting so quick. I had to wash my entire arm in the washroom once I was done filming. My elbow was sticky, hahah.

[@marshamason3295]

“4 Duffy’s….don’t ask me why I know that…” 🤣🤣🤣

[@oliverrea3924]

I find it odd that Orlando doesn’t have these water parades and I don’t think I ever seen Shaved ice when I was in Orlando either. Orlando was massively hot when I went.

[@abbie_gabi]

00:37 🤩 I can see a Rapunzel pin, yay! She's my favourite Disney princess

The Mickey ice bar is the best ice cream from the carts at any Disney park! It needs to be everywhere!

[@walrusbahaha1570]

I feel you Chris, I was there 2 weeks ago and it was rediculously hot to exist that made me only say “it’s too hot to do anything “ and ended up staying at restaurants and cafe most of the time😂 but thanks to your videos we could enjoy lots of cafe and food in the park! 🍧hehe

[@biancabee7900]

Love your videos. I’ve been waiting patiently for your next instalment at TDR. Thank you

[@gribbitt77]

Omg Chris!! My husband and I just love your videos. We both love the Mickey Mouse Converse shirts and backpacks.

[@kristina9454]

Chris, I absolutely loved it when, looking at the Mickey socks, you said, "Oh, look at the socks!" You sounded just like Mickey 😂

[@Rara-zr7ix]

I'm sorry you were struggeling with the heat, but this is your best video yet.

[@meritosama37]

Hey Chris, would you mind making a video about the different Disney stores in Japan? As well as the new free priority access? I am planning a trip to Japan soon, your videos have been so helpful in planning.

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you for watching and for the idea! It'll be a while before I can make a video on the free priority access (they're only for a limited time, so I dunno how long they'll be around for). But we have information about them on our website. tdrexplorer.com/tokyo-disney-resort-announce-40th-anniversary-priority-pass/

I wasn't able to watch the baymax cool down parade because I arrived late,was waiting for Splash Mountain, and was eating. Only my dad saw the parade because he was walking around the park

[@tdrexplorer]

It's an adorable towel!

[@brclyn]

😄😄you certainly had a day. If you didn't need a shower for the sweat, you certainly needed it for the ice block melt. Also, well done on stirring, before drinking. The coffee drink, looked like an iced latte, but as a slushie. It would be good on a hot day.

[@ndeckersightseer]

How long will the 40th merchandise be out?

[@mongdc]

42 Celsius in Texas make me crave a 32 Celsius weather 😂😂

[@dancersupreme3023]

Omg I love all the food!! Also, my family is planning our trip and we are confused about shopping because we can’t find straight answers about “standby passes” for all the shops? Like we can’t just go into the shops whenever but if we miss the passes it’ll be full for the day? If anyone has info on this please let me know, I don’t want any of my family to miss out on the fun shopping.

[@dancersupreme3023]

Is it like a timed entry thing? And how do you get them?

[@tdrexplorer]

The TDR website shows what shops may need them. www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/tdr/guide.html It's really only on very busy days or merchandise release days. So, it's not always on, except maybe the capsule machine shops (which almost always need them).

[@RogueCorps]

Hi! Question, we visited in June and loved it! I was wondering what happened to the live street performers. Are there still live performers like broom artists and custodians performing, or have they stopped doing that?

[@hollybabyyy]

Omg splash is open there

HIIII EARLY CAUSE IVE BEEN BINGING YOUR VIDSSS LOLL

Love it

[@AdryanShah]

does your guidebook include halal places in the parks?

[@ddever81]

Question: The Queen of Cake drink is listed and you called it “berry & cheese”. As a westerner this sounds strange and I think of berries and cheddar/Swiss/etc. What is the cheese? Anything western to compare it to?

[@dancersupreme3023]

If you’ve ever had boba drinks some of them come with “cheese foam” ontop. My mom relates it to a cheesecake like flavor when mixed into the drink. I would assume the berry and cheese drink would taste somewhat like a berry cheesecake.

[@tdrexplorer]

It's a "cheese cream" so it's like a thick cream with a heavy cheese taste. It's not like a cheese dip or fondue, it's more sweet. It's hard to explain.

[@ddever81]

@@dancersupreme3023 that’s the flavor that I was hoping to relate it to.

[@katmeetsmagic]

Hi Chris! @tdrexplorer 🥰 Bit of a random question (and please let me know if this has been answered) but I'm travelling to Japan in October and would love to vlog some of my time in the parks but am reading mixed things about what is/ isn't allowed. As someone who does vlog there, do you have any do's and don'ts you could offer me? Thanks so much!

Will the harmony in color merch be sold in Oct? Or is it just a summer event only?

[@tdrexplorer]

That merch line isn't tied to summer so it should be around for a little bit but I can't say if it'll be around in October. Merchandise changes quick.

Hi Chris, does Tokyo Disney have funnel cakes and beignets? Also - did they have any 40th anniversary pins?

[@taylor-tot3877]

Thanks for the video! I was curious about what usually happens between the seasonal events? There are few days between the summer event and the Halloween event. Do they slowly transition to Halloween, or does nothing happen? Thanks Chris!

[@tdrexplorer]

It varies year to year but usually food and merch come out before the event starts.
