Hi, 👋🏽 My name is Chris, aka TDRExplorer, and I started sharing my theme park adventures. Over the years, TDRExplorer has become a resource for passionate theme park fans looking to make the best of their trips to Asia. Including Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan!

[@tdrexplorer]

I really loved that Anya headband! It's adorable. Don't forget to plan your trip to Universal Studios Japan with our 2023 guidebook! tdrexplorer.com/books/

[@lestersys]

Yep, I got the USJ guide book...but a 'tome' is a more appropriate name... there's soooooo much info jam-packed into it!! 😂

[@glamrockfoxy6667]

Anya is my favorite I love Spy x Family

Hello! I am Japanese. I saw you eating spyfamily churros and curry bun. I went to USJ with a friend of mine and we thought you were a KZbinr so I am very glad to find you! Because I am studying English now, I can study English watching your videos! Sorry, My English is not perfect so, it is not easy to understand.

[@nat-tk5dl]

your english is perfectly fine! good luck on studying english, i am trying to study japanese and it is very hard

[@Picachki]

Your English is very good! Please keep studying to your heart’s content. (That is a English phrase that we commonly use to say continue till you are feeling content with your work.) Good luck my friend! 😊

No your English is great and so is ur grammar

I love the Doraemon section, especially the artwork of the characters on the walls of the restaurant. So cute!!

[@kimackerman2183]

Ahh everything Spy x Family looks adorable!! And this video came out at a perfect time since I am cosplaying as Anya tomorrow at a convention🌸

[@theodorehsu5023]

I have enjoyed this manga/anime, and would love to see this come to the US :)

[@evelynd9240]

Yeah, Finnegan's is consistently one of the best USJ restaurants to eat at because most of their menu, no matter what the seasonal special is, is pretty good. It also doesn't break the bank as much as some of the other restaurants at USJ, if you decide to eat inside the park at a seated restaurant.

[@SofiaPreCure]

Ooh! It would be pretty cool to have a Spy x Family theme park in the US

[@dosukoi_rin]

The headbands are so adorable!! And the food looks amazing 😍

[@Stephyxoxolove]

Haha omg i love the music they are playing in the background. Can't wait for the new season!

[@Sonicsis]

I’m so glad you checked this place out!!! I wanted to see it so bad!

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you!

Another great video! Love all the details you share, so much fun

[@ultrablue18]

Thanks for showcasing the attractions. Love the video work and quality.

[@chibilume]

ahh i'm so jealous! wish they had this when I went in Dec! ty for sharing your adventure w/ us!

[@shrimpchip69]

omg spy x family and chris this is the best combo ever

[@ZbznerwNew-rx1nm]

Doraemon is so cutr

[@lovelesshalo5079]

I love spy x family, it's one of my favorite anime shows

[@mariehm86]

The music in the background - I recognized SpyxFamily and ofc (look at my pic) Meitantei Conan

[@sanashi27]

The Anya headband is so cute!! I'd definitely be worried the doll on top would hit something and accidentally come off though. The Bond outfit was adorable, too! They seem to have a lot of cute or fun merch for SxF. The SxF food looks delicious especially the churrito and the strawberry milk drink! All of the food have nice fitting presentations for what show they're for though. The Doraemon mascot is so cute!! Their merch is cute, too. I used to love watching the show when I was a kid. The Detective Conan merch are pretty cool. I'm amazed at how popular it still is over the years. I also watched this as a kid and while I don't anymore (there's just too many episodes now), I still compare any mystery anime I watch to it. If a show doesn't have the same mystery presentation as Detective Conan (where even the audience can try solving the mystery before it's revealed at the end), I'm more likely to get bored of it and drop it. Also, I thought at first the zoom was intentional like it's supposed to zoom out on a different scene as some kind of transition effect until you said it's just an accident lol.

[@MokoYami]

That Detective Conan music is mood.

[@soulessdarkangel]

In the states students only get a week of spring break but it still feels like winter.

[@potatomash6166]

Thank you so much for taking this video, My family are planning to go there during the break! Thanks for sparing a little time on checking the prices for the merch, now I have in mind what to buy when we get there. This video helped a lot!:)

[@ender5070]

I'm so jelly of the Doraemon section it looks amazing 🤩

[@theteadrinker8860]

I’ve never wanted to be somewhere more than right now

[@aprilisbatgirl]

I hope they have that head band when I go in two weeks :) Its so cute!!!

[@NapoleonBonaparteMAGA]

I hear that detective Conan music in the background nice

[@zelllambert]

Been watching your vids for a little while now in anticipation of going to Japan. I have booked for May but I have noticed on the universal studio website that there are no tickets being sold for the next few months. Is there another way to buy tickets as I was really looking forward to going?

[@watchforever1724]

Awesome you saw some Doraemon stuff there I wish I could be there

[@magicalmousers]

So happy excited to see a new video from you ever time .. just makes my day ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you beautiful soul 💓💓

[@tdrexplorer]

Thank you!

[@SonicBahasa]

I love the zoom in on the barelies/misses. Makes it that much funnier.

[@Heligoland211]

Now I want to go there just for the food!

[@amystreasuresdesign]

That butter icing sounds like buttercream icing. I LOVE Spy x Family! I wish I was there to check out all of the stuff. Too bad those sweatshirt designs aren't on t-shirts. I'm always hot and have hot flashes. I can't wear anything that warm these days.

[@midnightsnow5655]

Doraemon fan right here! 🙋🏽‍♀️ that headband was so cute 😭

[@ichintendo]

omg it's the funny zoom, amazing

I can't believe I did it TWICE, hahahah.

For the Spy Family restaurant, do we reserve through the Universal app or just go to the restaurant as soon as it opens and ask for a reservation? Thank you for always providing helpful information.✨️

This video makes me want to go back to USJ and experience Spy x Family and the new parade 😭 Does Universal Studios Japan offer annual pass to tourists? 🤔

[@watchforever1724]

16:04 love Doraemon

[@laliichin5471]

I was at USJ March 9 and Disney and Disney sea 15/16. I would have been overjoyed to run into you! Thank you so much for your videos, they were so helpful. My autistic boy and picky girl happily ate the pizza at saizeria. I wish I’d gotten the express tickets at USJ but they were alll sold out when I bought my tix online and the lines were LONG. But I bought every premier access option at Disneyland/sea and don’t regret it. I know you’ve said don’t go in March but that was my only option. Lines were 120-150 minutes and it was less than probably 5-10 minutes with the fast pass purchases. Expensive but worth it to me who will probably only come once a year and want to maximize my time. I stayed at the Hilton Tokyo bay and was very disappointed. The room felt grungy and the brunch was not as varied and delicious as 2019 and 2017. Customer service was excellent but I’m gonna try a different place next time. Thank you again for your guidance and even thought I probably won’t go to Japan again till the earliest thanksgiving 2023, I’ll still happily keep up with your channel!

[@Withgreatpowercomesnofuture]

If you can, can you visit the Trigun cafe? I haven't seen anyone make vids on it

[@minakoh6287]

If we were in usj on the same day, we would have done a spy family mission together!😂

[@vinodelangovan3357]

Hello just a question since you were there recently.. what is the average wait time on single rider lines? we are coming from india and have planned for USJ.. now worried..

[@karennbeltran8827]

OMG, I went there on March 29 and they basically didn't have any spy x family merchandise. All there was was anya plush key chains, omiyage, clear files, a few shirts. Didn't even get the churro or the bun cause they stopped people from queuing up. Kinda sad I didn't get to buy the stuff I wanted, but it was fun to see all the ads and banners!

[@AmusedMistress]

Do you know how long the spy family stuff is going to be there for?

[@JellicleKitten]

I wish the Monster Hunter stuff would come to the US parks, I want all the Palico merch so much 😢

It sucks that March is the busy month cuz that's when my bday is which would ideally be when I'd wanna go XD Oh well, still looks like a lot of fun! I can totally understand the obsession with the headbands, they're SO cute.

[@thomaspriyanto9929]

Thanks for sharing the experience😊 I can't afford to go there.😢 But after watching your video, now I somehow know and feel the fun too

[@miyoshifw27]

I bought Doraemaon bun and churros during Obon visit lst month and it was good. Too bad USJ does not have Doraemaon popcorn bucket. Also imagine that Spy Family has it too. Don't you think it would be amazing I bet the line will be longer than Nezuko's line

[@ZbznerwNew-rx1nm]

Your videos are very entertaining

[@sarahdillon1002]

I loved watching Detective Conan here eons ago, over bouts of insomnia...bummed when Adult Swim took it off the air

[@kayel4487]

Doraemon was very cute!

[@watchforever1724]

Yeah I know

[@pierrelewis6819]

It's all in a matter of time, to have a crossover with detective Conan and possibly spy family, if not a crossover with detective Conan, I bet spy family is going to do a crossover with cat's eye or even, City Hunter, but I will truly love to see a crossover with, City Hunter and spy family and maybe, a Cameo or reference towards, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. I bet that will be fun to do.

[@vlogwithmi8903]

I want to go !!

I love Spy Family and so does my family. I'm going in June so these videos are so helpful for my wishlist 😀

[@LittleFishReviews]

Ahh, I feel silly that I was more excited to see the Monster Hunter Palico merch. Wish it was more popular cause no one is reselling any of that merch online >_< (want haha) Once again USJ wins at celebrating the IP they get in the parks, not just with the merch but the food, my gosh those buns are adorable!! I’d feel guilty eating one 😅

[@thepokekid01]

I liked the Conan Shirt (and the Watch, that's super cool) and the Bond Sweater, but I would want them to be oversized. For whatever reason, I'm not super big on the Felynes in Monster Hunter (I mean I don't dislike them, but don't like them clearly as much as I feel I'm supposed to), but if they had Nargacuga stuff I probably would have melted.

[@thepokekid01]

I think in the US Doraemon airs on the Disney Channel. I always thought it was cute, but the timing was never there for me to really get into it. I've seen random movies and a few episodes of it, so I know the main characters but not every character. When I was younger I used Pokemon as a Japanese learning aid, (which is why I also know a bunch of random animals and stuff in Japanese), it's kind of similar in that it's easy to understand in all it's media.

[@pollypocket2282]

I’m so irritated… I won’t be traveling to Japan for a couple of years and I really wanted a couple of those items, especially the masking tape set… People are selling it for $90 US. I don’t disparage. People for making money, but come on. At least I got to live vicariously through you! Thank you for the tour and sharing all the specials!
