Tokyo Disneysea is what happens when you give Imagineers an unlimited budget.

[@CoasterStudios]

😍😍😍

[@namviet7998]

Not really. It cost about $3.1 billion to build. Alot less than Shanghai Disneyland's or Hong Kong Disneyland's construction costs. DisneySea was intended to be built in the Queen Mary/Shoreline Village area in Long Beach, California but Disney was bleeding cash due to the financial loss from Disneyland Paris at the time so the project was shelved. Later, Disney decided to build it in Tokyo when the Oriental Land Company wanted to open the second gate at Tokyo Disneyland Resort.

[@Gonk]

@@namviet7998 :( I coulda had that closer to me? :( waaaahhhh

[@Mike__B]

@@namviet7998 Yeah but compare it to Tokyo Disneyland, it cost 50% more to build, and that's adjusting for inflation (inflation in Japan not the US). Which isn't terribly surprising since all the other Disneyland* type parks follow a particular mold, using similar rides, so a lot of R&D money is saved there. I'm sure this park would cost even more if built in Shanghai or HK.

[@thekat2784]

...and they take their job seriously

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Fun fact: When Disney was designing Port Disney back in the late 1990s, they had a park called DisneySea, but after that fell through in California, which was supposed to be an expansion to Disneyland, they pretty much brought the ideas over to Japan and implemented them here to open in 2001 :)

[@JKalama25799752]

@Harlock1776 It probably wouldn't have been equal to Disney Sea because Tokyo Disneyland spends so much money on their rides and attractions it's almost like they give the imagineers no budget. Would've been so much more awesome than Disney California though!

[@recrdovlogs9579]

They also had westcot which was going to Disneyland but those also fell thru

[@cynthiapickett7403]

It certainly does look like it was probably supposed to be in Long Beach CA (it's City council didn't want to deal with the traffic, among other things). As it is, California Adventure's Paradise Pier also bears a resemblance to that same port.

[@nyckmo9047]

From what I've read, the Port Disney project originally planned for Long Beach was supposed to be a hybrid aquarium - similar to that of the Living Seas pavillion in Epcot but on a much grander scale.This project did have a Mount Prometheus as seen in concept art, but I don't think the attractions were the same. Mermaid Lagoon and the Arabian Coast areas weren't in the original plans either. Although the park concept morphed, the overall theme is generally in the same spirit. Side note: if Euro Disney wasn't such a financial disaster, I wonder if we would've seen WestCot instead of DCA come to fruition. Sigh...

[@DaddyBmusic]

Additional fun fact: I have a friend who worked in Imagineering while this was being designed. He told me that they basically built everything in warehouses in CA first, then disassembled them and shipped them to Japan.

[@TN-wv6ok]

We need to round out the elements with Tokyo DisneyFire and Tokyo DisneyAir ;)

[@josemartingutierrez8897]

There was actually a time where they're in talks in creating Tokyo DisneySky. However, in the end, they opted to create an expansion for both theme parks instead of creating one new immersive land. Try to search it in the web. :)

[@detroitdiezel7856]

And Tokyo DisneyEarth... then hire the band, "Earth, Wind and Fire" to perform a concert at the grand opening!

[@bluedragon9925]

Pretty much the entire reason this park is so much more elaborately themed than any other Disney park is because Disney themselves didn't finance its construction. That bill was entirely footed by The Oriental Land Company, the owners of the Tokyo Disney Resort who actually *license* the Disney brand name and IP's from them. Walt Disney Imagineering basically took full advantage of this and used the park as a showcase of what they're truly capable of when they aren't being held back by Disney's executives constantly cutting their budgets (as was the case with almost every single one of their state-side projects at the time like California Adventure, which ironically opened in the same year).

[@jaquitavulpix3418]

Ah yes, California Adventure. Where they built a California themed area (in California) and 'seaside carnival' rides that you literally don't need to theme because your theme *is* cheap carnival rides.

[@Projektion2]

Was there in January, and I pretty much agree with all you said. Without factoring in the rides, it is absolutely the best park I've ever been to, and while the rides aren't bad, I just look for something more thrilling that what disneysea offer. Shame you didn't talk about the Popcorn though...

[@CoasterStudios]

I didn't get any popcorn at DisneySea because I wasn't impressed with the popcorn I got at Tokyo Disneyland. I decided to try some other things instead.

Went there a year ago, definitely my favorite Disney park. You missed the ride with possibly the catchiest ride song ever, Sinbad. It's like Small World levels of catchy but actually good, and in Japanese so you have no idea what the lyrics even are. And the song is stuck in my head again.

[@Silvarret]

Totally agree with your opinion! It's not the best all-round park, but it has easily the best theming, atmosphere and general vibes of any theme park I've ever seen. I love that many of the rides don't rely on big IP's like other Disney parks - I mean, who actually cares about the Journey to the Center of the Earth movie? ...By the way, when you go back, you HAVE to ride Sinbad's Storybook Voyage in Arabian Coast.

I have been going to Disneyland in CA since I was a little kid. As an annual passport holder to Disneyland, I still feel the magic everywhere, but my presumption is that it is largely nostalgia driven. Taylor, it had always made me sad that you hadn’t been to a Disney park and felt that same feeling that people like me get when you enter the gates. I am so glad that you were finally able to experience what that feeling is like! Disney does some amazing things and this video has solidified my intention to hit up this park someday. Awesome video brotha!

[@tetsurohoshii]

You described Tokyo DisneySea perfectly. I’m crying.... thank you so much. This is why I love DisneySea. As a former DisneySea cast, even working at there was the amazing experience, too.

[@truelymadmatt]

This is what happens when imagineers are told money is no object. The American parks could've of been like this if they didn't want to cut costs as much as they do

[@RedPandaStan]

also if a majority of each park wasn't constructed in the at least 30 years ago lol. Look at pandora, I'd say it's just as beautiful as this park.

[@aidenk7047]

The imagineers don’t want to cut cost’s, the executive’s do, but that’s just how business works. They weren’t entirely funded by Disney for this park, which is why they had much more money. It’s designed by the same imagineers, based out of Glendale, as every other Disney Park, but they got a much higher budget.

[@apollo4657]

The Japanese government funded a large part of the bill. FYI

[@mason0448]

Definitely the best theme park I’ve been to- amusement wise, Journey to the Center of the Earth was awesome, but doesn’t compare to thrill-focused amusement parks.

[@gissneric]

Of course, rides at Disney are mostly for families. If they make rides thrilling, less people would be able to go on it.

[@JonathanMillerMusic]

This gave me so much nostalgia. 🥺 I went when I was visiting my friends in Japan during Disney Sea’s 5th Anniversary and man, it was BEAUTIFUL. Also, no where near the amount of people then as are in this video. Thank you for this immersive video, it made me want to go back even more! 🙏🏻💗

I could go on and on for hours about this park!!! It was so stunning and immersive. I was incredibly impressed as I am a CM myself and I thought I had become numb to Disney magic lol. I'm kinda sad you didn't go on Sinbad's Storybook Voyage because it was probably one of my favorite rides ever but Journey to the Center of the Earth was fantastic too. Oh and the Big Band Beat show was a must see! Definitely go back to see the volcano because it erupts every 30 minutes and it's crazzzyyyyyy. Ok and lastly, the popcorn flavors at the park were my favorite Disney snack ever. The strawberry flavor and the milk chocolate flavor there and the Honey flavor at Tokyo Disneyland were unlike any other Disney snack I've had, I could eat buckets of each lol

[@detroitdiezel7856]

What exactly is a "CM"?

Tokyo Disney Sea was beautiful and I enjoyed most of it, but honestly, it won’t be in the agenda for my next trip to Japan, simply because there are so many things to see when visiting Japan. I would certainly recommend visiting it at least once though!

Disney Sea is one of those parks that is shocking how well detailed it is. It is the first time I had to pause at an entrance to just take it all in.

Been 18 times to Japan (just returned a month ago from my last trip), but somehow never even really considered going here. During my last trip Nagashima Spa Land actually was the first major theme park I visited in Japan (disregarding Huis ten Bosch as that was something completely different). And that's also what got me here. But after seeing this, DisneySea certainly will be on my list for my next visit! This just looks so amazing...

[@mateokuntz2108]

I love the details of the cooling lava flow on Mt. Prometheus with the added smoke effects and black igneous rock work!

[@jondavidtheauthor6318]

Amazing. Great video. Tokyo Disney is on my bucketlist for sure.

[@AllyMcLesbian]

This was my most recent theme park - and it certainly was very memorable! Thanks for letting me re-live the memories. I do have to say that the Tower of Terror was a bit of a buzzkill - through no fault of its own. When I'm in a haunted New York City hotel, seeing the modern Tokyo skyline outside is so jarring! At least I took that ride at night.

[@iannnnnnn.]

Even with BGW as my home park, which I love it to death, I don't see how it can beat out parks like this in the golden ticket awards.

[@neo3888]

Just imagine Steel Vengeance inside a huge Disney volcano

[@zacg_]

It's a cool thought but one of the reasons that extreme thrill coasters aren't ever seen in highly detailed theme parks (though Phantasialand is maybe an exception) is because not only would that be super expensive but it would be hard to make it make sense. Theming on a coaster is hard to appreciate if you are going super fast. Also, if you want the theme to really work well you have to come up with a way to justify the existence of the track with the overall theme. That's why mine trains make for good themed coasters. But a Steel Vengeance in a Disney setting would just be hard to pull off. You'd have to do some kind of mountain and keep the track itself hidden from other park guests. Then you'd have to have theming that isn't entirely missed by riders going 70mph. Don't get me wrong. If Disney did something like that and the second half where you are weaving inside the SV structure was made to seem like moving through cave holes then that would be UNBELIEVABLE. But it would be really hard to pull off southport breaking from the story and theming.

[@neo3888]

@@zacg_ That's something I completely agree with, which is why I really could only *imagine* the concept of it, the possibility of there being a true balance between a ride featuring sheer intensity and thrill while also telling a cohesive, immersive and detail-oriented story is just inconceivable, especially with the reasons you've pointed out. But I believe that there are people out there, specifically imagineers, that could make it happen to an extent. My best bet at this being a reality is if Disney patents a sort of hybrid between a high-speed slot-car system (Test Track and Journey) and a mine train, and features the storytelling elements at the start (Space Mtn's queue and chain lift, Test Track's numerous trials, etc.) and then implementing the intense coaster-like portion of it around a less detailed part, such as in the dark. But making it themed *during* these intense parts is definitely a challenge, though I've heard that's what they're going for in the upcoming Cosmic Rewind coaster at EPCOT. This is to assume that Disney is willing to put out a ride of this scale and budget, and of course the inevitable IP to tie it in, it's gotta be something worth making, such as a Marvel theme.

[@DarthG33k]

The sindbad water ride in the Arabian area is a grossly underrated attraction. Really, really well done. Compass shinjimas! Edit: When I rode the Indiana Jones ride in 2015, they billed it as based off of that abysmal crystal skull ride. At the time, it was turn for turn identical to Raiders of the Lost Ark, including the giant boulder escape at the end. Glad to see they made some changes!

[@janel1866]

Spoilers for your next DisneySea trip: You definitely won't get wet on Aquatopia unless it's actually raining. The ride is super chill and depending on the track of your ride vehicle, there are moments where you think you'll get wet but you get saved just in time. I totally recommend riding Sinbad's Storybook Voyage in the Arabian Coast, especially because the wait is super short. My favorite parts were the music and Chandu. I'm not sure if you saw it (because I missed it when I was there) or if it's still even there, but there's an area called "Fortress Explorations" that's like a bit like a playground. It's near the Mediterranean Harbor. (Sorry if other people have already told you these things. Looking forward to your next visit!)

[@detroitdiezel7856]

I had heard how great this park was, but didn't know anything about it until I just saw this video. After watching this, it's now been added to my bucket list!

[@fiat186v2]

The local peeps here are also fun to see. They really like dressing up for the occasion, they'd be coming in in matching theme for their outfits, matching color, matching accessories and everything and sometimes matching faces. The quirkiness found only in Japan.

[@Jasmine-pv8cw]

You can tell the imagineers REALLY cared about story telling through theming because I know they have a teddy bear mascot named Duffy, (the story is Mickey was going on like a long voyage out to sea or something and Minnie gave him a teddy bear named Duffy so he doesn’t get lonely) and throughout the parks Tokyo Disney parks there’s LITTLE PHOTO SHOOT AREAS YOU CAN SIT YOUR DUFFY BEARS ON AND TAKE PHOTOS OF. I really think that little detail is so cute and neat. Was suppose to go to Disneysea next year but idk cuz corona 😭😭😭

I was in DisneySea in 2018 and still 2 years later I can't really believe what happened there. I live around 30 minutes away from Phantasialand, made an internship in Europa Park for 8 months in 2016 so I am really used to great theming, details all over the place and the wish to bring people into another world. But DisneySea was something totally different. I watched your video and I agree with 95% of what you are saying - this place is magic. Even after 2 days in the park I am sure I haven't seen everything. Thankfully, the Vocano was not under construction when I was there, I really hope it won't be when you revisit it!

I'd love to go there sometime! Looks incredible. I'm a bit biased about Europa Park though, as i worked there for 4 years. The park is absolutely stunning, and even better now than it was when I worked there in the 90's. It didn't feel like working for a big corporation like Disney. It's a family owned park, and even though it's huge, we all knew each other. It was like being part of a big family. (I skated in the ice show, and did the first one the park had in '92). 😊

[@chinesemonk7424]

"white christmas lights everywhere" Not quite, the reason there are lights everywhere is because that area is themed as an early 1900s amusement park (specifically luna park) where electric lighting was still a novelty. The library of congress has some excellent historical photos for anyone curious.

[@patrickkim4195]

And I would like to visit Tokyo Disneyland too just for the nostalgia of experiencing a Magic Kingdom in another country but if I had to choose: DisneySea all the way.

[@daisuke310920]

Glad that you liked my home park!

[@arireich4324]

Six Flags over Georgia would have a heart attack over how much footage you got of this park

Quick pointer, mobile Fastpass is an option if you have the official resort app, but it can only be downloaded with a Japanese app store account and used with a Japanese Disney account over Japanese mobile data (i.e. you can't use an international account to either download or use the app). If you know your stuff, you can set up Japanese accounts and download the app pretty easily, and then get a Japanese SIM card when you arrive in country.

Only OGs will remember when park reviews were 3 minutes long

#1 on my bucketlist since a few years! Hope to get there maybe next year. :)

[@chuguru]

The Fortress Explorations and Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage are two of my favorite things to do there. Ariel’s Grotto and Indiana Jones closely follow those up. Disney Sea is absolute magic and though I’ve been there twice, I will definitely be back. I’m pretty whatever about most all other Disney Parks (I prefer Universal parks by far) but Disney Sea is my #1 overall theme park in the world.

[@mavisintheworld8972]

Beautiful, stunning theme park. However - not without some faults. The fastpass allocations across this resort mean that regular standby lines get just too long. The key was to ride the most popular rides within the first hour at the very end of the day - when no fastpass was impacting. My highlight here was Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Next time you get to visit, for sure try aquatopia! In summer they should have both “experiences” open, one side will be “no wet” and the other side “very very wet”. Both are super fun but they do mean very very wet (like pirates show canon wet) so choose wisely!

"King Neptune". That killed me x'DDDDI really wanna go to Tokyo Disney Sea, simply for the whole theme...I love anything nautical / mediterranian so this is on the top of my bucketlist!

[@DitsMerzthalBravo]

Idk why there's so much shade threw towards the Disney parks, they're amazing all around and it's the best resort by far.

[@CoastingwithCulture]

I don't know that I would go so far as to say that Tokyo Disneyland is Lame, but I will agree that with the exception of Pooh's Honey Hunt, it feels like the least original of the Disneyland Parks, as Disneyland, Magic Kingdom and Hong Kong Disneyland all have multiple attractions and/or areas that help them stand out from the others. I haven't been to Shanghai or Paris yet, but I get the sense that they too have things that help them stand out more. Tokyo Disneyland feels more like it's the "Greatest Hits of Disneyland Parks", which certainly isn't a bad thing, just not very original in a way. Also, you missed out on Sinbad's Storybook Voyage. It's like a better version of it's a small world with a beautiful song for the background that I love, even if I don't know most of the words with it being in Japanese. The melody and the tune are great and can convey the sense of adventure that the ride goes for. - Gary

Tokyo Disneyland will soon have it's stand out attraction when "The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast" opens, a trackless ride through Beast's castle full of cutting edge animatronic characters from the animated classic. And it's based on the original animated movie, not the more recent live action version. It'll be the only ride based on Beauty and The Beast anywhere in the world. disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2019/09/new-experiences-coming-to-tokyo-disneyland-spring-of-2020/

[@CoastingwithCulture]

@@acurisur I haven't seen a whole bunch about the ride, but from what I have seen, it certainly looks like it will be a fantastic ride! - Gary

[@Tortidis987]

On top of Flounder's Flying Fish credit, make sure to ride Sindbad's Storybook Voyage in Arabian Coast on your next visit. I know you don't like Small World, but apart from being a boat ride with a song, the two rides are totally different, so I think you'd enjoy it. Plus it's practically always a walk on. Also Big Band Beat in the American Waterfront is a must watch, by far the best show a theme park has ever put together!!

[@Gonk]

Wow as beautiful as I thought it would be, can't wait to go someday ty for sharing :)

[@fabiendulido]

I’ve been last year in November... Christmas Time! 🎄 The Christmas shows on the lake ... 🤩 wow! 120 dancers alone and then a lot of Disney Characters on 3 stages and 3 boats around the lake! ( I don’t know but they probably going to do kinda like this in Disney Paris Studios, the new part ) Best Disney Shows ever: the music, the Life Singers, the dancers and the costumes... wow Magical ✨ Like you said and a lot of people who went to Disney Sea ... so detailed so themed... the best themed Disney Parc ... and so many different popcorn buckets! ( I bought 10 different ones 😊 ) and so many Mickey/Duffy food items ✨ Magical 😃

[@lunajoy4624]

coolest park I've been at. I've been there twice. I agree, journey to the centre of the earth is AMAZING, as is the rest of the park. you have to visit mermaid lagoon. even though it's themed more for kids, it is absolutely magical!

[@saltieer]

I went to disneysea a few months ago, and it was AWESOME!

[@jackdr20roblox29]

Nah it looks bad but glad you had a great time 😊

[@oneandonlysound3453]

Ok but who the heck is King Neptune though? But honestly yeah something like Taron could really fit into and whatnot, one giant amongst the smaller ones for the coasters, clearly they got everything else covered pretty well. And yes, so agreed on what you said about magic kingdom, it's "TOURISM!" it's really not that submersive. Stuff like this really is though.

[@adriansierra751]

Went in July 2019, we were so captivated that we actually came back a 2nd day out of our whole Japan trip so we completely understand lol.

[@danieldietrich9969]

You won't get wet what so ever on Aquatopia, just FYI. Gotta say American Waterfront might be my favorite land, just because of the detail. Lost River Delta would be if there was just a little bit more to do there I think. I was at this park about a month before you went and the scaffolding around the park was much more minimum, I figured they were finishing up with it. But that's a bummer you didn't see everything as intended.
