TOKYO JAPAN DISNEYSEA: Totally Worth it with a Toddler & Young Kids! 🐚

This summer we visited Tokyo DisneySea with our two-year-old toddler, 5-year-old, and 9-year-old. We loved it! It's now my favorite amusement park in Japan. It's well worth a visit to Tokyo DisneySea, even with a toddler! We appreciate the commissions we earn when you purchase tickets through our Klook affiliate link: geni.us/tokyodisney

🌺 ABOUT US
Aloha! We are a worldschooling family with three young kids. Our home base is the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. We've been living a nomadic lifestyle for the past 15 years. We hope to inspire you to begin your own quest!

[@evanfujimoto]

Appreciate all the great information! It’s so difficult to find information about traveling with toddlers so I really appreciate these types of videos!

[@KenshoQuest]

Glad it was helpful! Our kids really enjoyed DisneySea.

[@AmaliaCaltravels_events]

Sawasdee kha from Thailand. I’m glad I have found your channel. I have a twenty one month old granddaughter and we’ll travel to Japan in October, by the time she’ll be twenty three months old. We also travel as a family. My granddaughter is my only grandchild. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I’m your new fan from Thailand.

[@KenshoQuest]

Sawasdee kha! We hope you have a wonderful time in Japan. We also love traveling in Thailand! 🌺 Heidi

[@j_jungy]

So glad you made this video! Along with universal, we’re also going to Tokyo Disney sea next month!!

[@KenshoQuest]

I hope you have a wonderful time! We enjoyed both parks! 🌺 Heidi

[@j_jungy]

@@KenshoQuest Thank you so much! Also do you think a party of 2 adults can ride all the rides at Disney Sea in 1 day without the premier access? We are visiting on Tuesday 9/12, and based on the crowd calendar you shared, it is labled as "people Quite empty"

[@KenshoQuest]

@@j_jungy Hmmm. I'm not sure, but you have a better chance at DisneySea than Disneyland, as the lines tend to be shorter. You might want to install the Tokyo Disney Resort app and start checking the wait times. I believe the longer lines tend to be Toy Story Mania, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Soaring Fantastic Flight. Maybe you could do one of those first thing in the morning before the lines get too long.

[@j_jungy]

@@KenshoQuest Oh I see, thank you so much for all of your guys' tips on all things Japan! My wife and I have been watching so many of your videos lately to prepare.

[@timelesssree13_17]

This video is such a great find! Just what I was looking for! Love how you have shared all the necessary information along with your experience with your family. I probably would have chosen Disneyland over DisneySea for my 8 year old, if not for you! Thank you so much!

[@KenshoQuest]

You're welcome! We all love DisneySea and can't wait to go back. The new Fantasy Springs area just opened recently at DisneySea. To enter Fantasy Springs you would need a Standby Pass or Disney Premier Access pass from the Tokyo Disney Resort app. We haven't gone to that section yet, but it sounds really nice!

[@raahulvasanth]

Got a handsome discount with your code 😍. Thank you!

You’re welcome! Are you headed to DisneySea or Tokyo Disneyland?

[@Mandriletta]

Hello. I am planning a trip to japan this year (probably in december). I am currently watching a lot of content in your channel. I would like to know if those parks are fun for adults too, specially if compared to Orlando’s (Florida) parks. We are going in a party of 2 me and my wife, that’s why it is important to define if disney/universal will be on our itinerary.. thank you in advance and really nice content

[@KenshoQuest]

Hi. I haven't been to amusement parks in Orlando. If you like Super Mario Brothers or Harry Potter, then I recommend Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. We love going mostly for Super Nintendo World. There are also other rides / roller coasters throughout the park. I think you would also enjoy Tokyo DisneySea, as it's a unique experience to Tokyo. The popular rides can have very long lines, though. We missed the evening show on the water, but I'd like to go back to watch that. Personally, I would skip Tokyo Disneyland, it's not that much different than Disneyland in California. And the lines were so long we didn't even make it onto our top choice ride. 🌸 Heidi

[@Mandriletta]

Oh i see. Thank you for the complete answer. I will talk to my wife to decide. 😊

[@ahmadalshafi1188]

Your saying we can’t purchase tickets at the Disneyland and Disney sea ticket counter?

[@KenshoQuest]

Correct, park tickets are not being sold at ticket booths at Tokyo Disney Resort. You can purchase ahead of time from an official Tokyo Disneyland hotel, the Tokyo Disney Resort website, or a travel agent such as Klook (which we recommend). Here’s the website page with explanation: faq.tokyodisneyresort.jp/tdr/en/faq_detail.html?category=&page=1&id=21199

[@Northstar2000]

you can burchase but your trip will not be like a same.

[@sheryllbiyo7632]

Do you have like this for Tokyo Disneyland?

[@KenshoQuest]

Hi, not sure I understand your question but we do prefer and like Disney Sea over Tokyo Disneyland. It's a whole new experience!

[@RANDOM-jpg93]

What month or day did you go? And how is the weather? 😁

[@KenshoQuest]

We went in July, since we were waiting for the rain to subside. It was hot! We spent a good amount of time in the indoor section, avoiding the sun. Then we tried to find shade as much as possible. 🌸 Heidi

[@ap2445]

Do you have video on DisneyLand?

[@KenshoQuest]

Sorry, we didn’t make a video on Tokyo Disneyland. The lines there were long! We never got a chance to ride Beauty and the Beast. If you want to go on a popular ride, I recommend buying Premier Access early. Getting to the park early didn’t help much, as there were huge lines as soon as they opened the gate and let us in. 🌸 Heidi

[@ap2445]

@@KenshoQuest thank you for your information. So getting disneyland at 07.30 wont help much?

[@KenshoQuest]

@@ap2445 Not much. I think paying for Premier Access for your top rides would be more helpful. Once we tried to get Premier Access the app crashed. And the line never looked shorter than 2 hours wait for Beauty and the Beast.

[@ap2445]

@@KenshoQuest thank you . We will try our luck today. We'll give information.

[@ap2445]

Dear Kensho Quest. This is my review of my once experience: - Before entering the park, be sure all the ticket barcode have been scanned in the app. This make easy for registering the pass once we inside the park. Some said you also can enter credit card data by website before entering park - After entering the park, I immediately registered for premier access for beauty & the beast, and register anniversary priority pass for 1 ride. We can register the next pass/access after 60 minute. I think the key is using the app regularly for registering the pass or premier access ASAP everytime they let you do that. After you register all the ride or show within the app, then you can enjoy your plan. - Then you can try the route starting from the left (adventure land-western land) clockwise for regular standby, since most people may start from the right (counterclockwise) aiming first the beauty and the beast. I saw waiting line only 15-20 minute in Haunted Mansion etc in the morning. In afternoon, it was 40 minute. That is IMHO. Thank you.
