Please please please show us more of what is around the hotels/disney areas including downtown Disney. Love these types of vlogs as they help us plan our trips. Thank you for being fabulous
I agree with this!
It’s really cool when he’s just walking around the city
I been there you have to go to like a monorail to get to most of the hotels and going to downtown Disney
No way! Today we book our hotel for Tokyo and I wanted a trusted review of the celebration haha yay can’t wait to watch and see what you think of it ❤
Yes, please! More about Urayasu! I want to know EVERYTHING it has to offer.
So glad I found you! Were a family of 8adults with a 3 year old from Hawaii coming in September and have been hunting for honest reviews for our big family ❤
Ahhh!! Shin-Urayasu is my mother's hometown! I've spent multiple childhood summers there at my grandfather's house. It was amazing to see you document a small tour around the area! It was so local, I had to show my mom your footage. I would totally look forward to more videos outside of the Disney-bubble if that's what you choose to do!!! Ngl, half the reason I watch your videos is because of how nostalgic it feels ,, haha
Hey Chris, we love your videos, but recently my wife became disabled and we would still love to visit the Asian parks, would you consider doing some videos on how access works and what access is like at the Asian parks? As there is v little info out there for disabled guests visiting these parks
Thank you for the suggestion! For the time being, we do have information in our guidebook about how the DAS system works here and explained in detail. tdrexplorer.com/books
Yes please, more videos of what is around the hotels and what is around the outside of the other hotels near the parks please. Great video 😊
Your videos are, as always, very informative and entertaining! I really love that you take time to really show the fun details of everything around, and its fun to really follow your strain of thoughts, you tell us about what are your plans, and the pricing of things, what to do, and stuff! And you always look so cute and everything! It’s like we’re traveling with you! Your videos are just perfect!
Yes please more content about things to do in Tokyo Bay area. Also I’d love videos about getting to other parts of Tokyo if using a Disney hotel as our base hotel.
We stayed at the wish hotel . We loved it and were really happy for what we paid and still got happy entry. Staff were so lovely and the breakfast buffet was yummy . The garden in the Wish hotel was so cute too.
I am planning our first Japan Family Vacation , and with your videos, I am slowly putting it together❤❤ thank you!!! Im so excited to be there
Yes! Now you’re talking! I’m here for this one. Thanks.
Yes please on what else there is to do around the parks! I'm currently planning my trip for our honeymoon and I'm so glad to have found your channel!
Another wonderful video! I would love to see more about the area!
Thank you. I'm looking forward to your other videos. Especially good neighbor hotels, like Hilton and Marriott.
Heck yeah! Thanks for posting this! Been looking for a review, I plan on staying there next summer 😊 gotta be disney budget friendly so I can spend money on the other parts of my japan trip.
We appreciate your insights. You’ll always have our support.
the way i screeched when you picked up the melon bread lmao gosh i miss that so much
Yes, that room mural is awesome
Yes! Please post some content about other things to do close to Disney🤗 I’ll be going in May and I’m still figuring out what things I’ll have time for. Plus as a solo traveler, would like to be prepared. Thanks!
Always look forward to your videos! I personally would be interested in seeing things to do near by the parks, for sure. I also would be interested in things like apartments or AirBnbs, that sort of things would also be great to know just out of curiosity. Finding alternative places to shop is always a plus, since hotels mark up their inventory quite a bit! Thank you so much for your hard work!
I stayed here when we first visited! loved it! my favorite thing was the constellation/star ceiling ! and breakfast buffet. and shuttle lol
Thank you for this video ! I'm starting to think about my future Tokyo trip in 2025 and hotel tours help ! I can't wait to see the others!
Im so excited ill be staying there in September 😊
Tdr u should find apple tea candies based on apple tea soda!!! It's delicious!!
I saw them but haven't tried yet!
Omg!! You made my day!!!! I hope you have had a great day soo far!!! 😊
We are staying at the Tokyo Disneyland hotel. We absolutely love it!
Oh I loooove Hotel reviews and I booked last week my Fantasy Springs Hotel for October. I got one and was one of the lucky fast one. I’m very happy to stay in this amazing hotel. I’m soooooo waiting for your stay at the Fantasy Springs Hotel Review. I watched the last one a lot of Japanese one but your opinion will be great! Was already in Fantasy Springs and thanks to all your tips, I was good prepared. Please go on!! (P.s. I know the video, you had a sneak peak on the FS hotel, but a stay is different, so I’m really waiting of it!)
Honestly the first video I see of this hotel. Thanks for that
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻great review, it’s really helpful to see what the different tokyo disney hotels have to offer for future trips. have been wondering if its worth it to splurge on one. this one looks quite cute, and good to get the DL on the breakfast buffet. it’s a bit sad about the shop though, as the hotel shops i’ve seen are usually so fun. look forward to more updated hotel snooping from you! 😄
Would love to see more of the area around. We are going in November and have used heaps of your videos for information. I liked you years ago but you’re my go to at the moment. Can’t wait to experience it all myself
I'd love to see more videos on non-Disney things to do around Disney or updated tours of local non-Disney hotels or just the partner/good neighbor hotels.
amazing video .
For those interested in onsens, there's a Japanese hotel chain called Dormy Inn where every single hotel has baths included in the price.
Early June 2023 my wife and I stayed at the Celebration Wish. I think you really nailed this review.
The bathrooms do need updating BUT otherwise we had great things to stay.
The rooms were SO much larger than any other hotel we stayed at in Japan, the lobby decorations and in-room mural are very cute indeed.
As someone who grew up going to WDW for our Disney vacations I was already used to 20 minute bus rides so this one didn't seem bad but what I REALLY did like is how the bus between Wish and the parks ran on a schedule! You actually knew what time you could show up for a bus rather than just show up and wait an unknown amount of time like in Florida.
Thank you! I know that pain of waiting for an undetermined amount of time for a WDW bus haha.
Saw you in Japan but didn't get the chance to say hi! Just want to let you know that I love your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks so much!!
I'd like videos about all the interesting neighborhoods in the Tokyo area. I'm not going to Tokyo to just check out the parks!
3:49 Those would be referencing Fortress Explorations! I love that area so much, especially the planetarium room! 🌙✨
We wanted to add an extra day to out TDR stay and did that with a stay at Celebration (Adventure) was a wonderful stay. This "value" was more on line with the domestic moderate level. Very nice for the money.
Onsen connoisseur you say! You should totally go to one of the onsen theme parks, that would be such a fun video.
That would be cool!
I would love to see what to do in that area, that would be great!
Its so cozy
We checked out from wish yesterday, It's ok when you don't want to spend too much , such as the last day of trip.
Our plan is
1 day = TDL and stay at miracosta cameback to room for believe sea of dream. 7 pm.
2 day = TDS happy entry and stay at celebration ( can enjoy everything at fantasy spring)
3 day = check out and enjoy trip with breakfast slow life 😂
Things to do in the area would be fun
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback on the hotels and food options. I just found out now from your video that if you're staying in celebration hotels - Happy Entry will not apply in Tokyo Disney Sea. Oh no. 😅
Wow, they’ve updated quite a bit since I last stayed there… off to the Toy Story hotel today… might consider celebration again to check out the updates
I'm planning a trip in October wirh my mum, her friend and my sister, and getting a better sense of what's around the Urayasu area apart from Disney would be great!
My mum and her friend aren't too keen on doing more than one day at Disney, while my sister and I are planning a day for Disneyland and Sea (we're more or less veterans lol), and trying our Standby luck for Fantasy Springs 🤞
They were considering taking a train back to Tokyo or to another town to sightsee for the day, but if Urayasu's got stuff to do they might just stay in the area!
Keep up the great work as always Chris :)
That cat has a freaking beanie on 💜😂💜🐈
Love disney.
I would be very interested in more exploring in the area around Disneyland
Next time I go back to Tokyo, I want to stay at this hotel!
Would love to have a tour of the Urayasu area! Love all your videos! Thanks from a fellow Canadian. Happy Canada Day!🇨🇦
Happy Canada Day!!
Awww I went to the odaiba onsen in 2018 😢 had a pretty fun experience and anecdotes, that was the last thing I did in Japan 💔
Hello fellow Canadian here! I would love to see content on things to do in urayasu area. Or anything to do with a preschooler! Love your content!!❤
I remember listening to the podcast episode about this and while I feel a little more endeared to the hotel after seeing the cute theming, I still think if I was trying to save money I’d pick a partner hotel on the monorail loop. The only thing you would miss out on is the early 15 entry (just for Disneyland!) and thinking about how early you’d need to get up to get on the bus, no thank you. I could see it being worthwhile doing the vacation package, but with how much those packages cost, I’d rather pay a bit more to go all out on one of the better hotels. Thank you for the video Chris and looking forward to further hotel videos from you.
The “Discover” hotel 🏨 reminds me of Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida!
Noooo the onsen at Odaiba closed too?😢 i went tat in 2018, it was a nice place to do onsen and chill w frens 😢😢😢😢😢 thanks for this video Chris ❤
Last October I stayed at the "Spa & Hotel Maihama Eurasia" which is a short bus ride from Tokyo Disney and has a nice onsen inside...was a good price and super close if you aren't worried about it not being an official Disney hotel.
The baths there are pretty decent!
I'm planning to go to japan after my disneycruise in singapore😊
I can't believe that onsen is closing. It is the best I have been to in Tokyo. I went on the 1st of June 2024. 😢. I always stay in Shin Uraysua.
Does anyone know why it closed?
@@fionanoyce1676 According to the official website, the lease on the land was up, so instead of renewing they decided to close that location :(
@michaelw4767 Do you think there will another one open in Shin-urayasu or Uraysua area
Hi how far was the walk from the hotel to the mall ? Thanks for the video x
I agree with the assessment. It's an inexpensive way to stay at a "resort" hotel and get the early entry benefit into Disneyland. But the limited transport (3x per hour) and the travel time could be a downside for some.
We hope to come next year. We want to spend 1 night at a less expensive Disney hotel to have a day to adjust to time change. Then go to the ones near
Parks for 4 nights 5 days at park. Will we have to do 2 two night stays like 2 at Mira costa and 2 at Disneyland hotel.
Oy, complications getting there. Older rooms, yet has seating. Thanks for all this info.
Please make videos of things to do near Tokyo Disneyland/Sea and Universal ❤ I'd love to visit one day but am a bit nervous going outside the parks 😅
Thanks for giving the pros and cons for this hotel ❤
Thank you for mentioning no tattoos! Is it true that it's due to the thinking that tattoos mean gang? Any idea why the bath is closing 😢 Is it possibly due to popularity decrease of the baths and the tradition?
Hello! Love your videos. I am going to Tokyo Disney tomorrow and I can’t figure out how to pay for the priority pass. I know I have to pay in the park but how do you pay? Can I upload my credit card to the app or do I pay cash?
Hi! Love the video! I stayed at the Celebration: Discover hotel back in 2012 when it wasn’t owned by Disney. Back then, they had an airport shuttle that took you directly to/from the hotel. But your info states they now only drop off at the Tokyo Disneyland bus terminal? I know the other Disney hotels get direct drop-off and pick-up (or did that change too?). Any idea why they changed that?
Please do disney hotel like sheraton and hilton? Thanks
Can you post up the link to the Complimentary Shuttle schedule?
Chris, approximately what time is "later in the evening"? After six? Ten?
I would think the celebrity hotel would be really great to go to first if you’re coming from a long distance like the United States. To get rid of your Jetlag. Would be my thought. Why go to a hotel that’s $300-$500 a night when you’re dead tired.
Do they have good Japanese western style moms and pops kind of restaurant in Urayasu?
how early does the shuttle start in the morning?
How to get to Ikspiari from the hotel thanks :)
How sad there's no gift shop anymore. I have some of the merch from the Celebration Hotel with Joey's artwork from when it opened. ☹️
Very helpful!! Is it recommended to switch hotels? Like from Toy Story Hotel to Celebration hotel or vice versa?
That's a personal preference. I personally don't like to but others may like to switch.
hi Chris this hotel is cute and cheap I love the conbini when I lived in Japan I used to go to seven eleven for onigiris 🪳
Nice overview…bummed about Onsen.
No need to answer,i heard😊
I think I would like to stay at this hotel. It got wht I would need and you can get other food and such from around. The mall and area sounds great. Good for a day outside the park. This would be within my budget. Little sad about the bathhouse and not getting acces early into Disneysea. But what can you do? For me it would be a an okay deal.
Wonder if this substantially more affordable than Bayside hotels? (I really do want to see more of Japan next time, not expecting this to be very representational). … oh, getting to prices, Nice.
Are you able to share information about the partner or good neighbor hotels for Tokyo Disneyland?
Thank you for the suggestion!
I'm guessing the constellation pattern represents Magellans?
It seems unfortunate that early entry is not included with all the Disney hotels to both parks. The two hotels that give early entry to Disney Sea are expensive and not even available for the dates I will be there. I booked at the Tokyo Bay Maihama Hotel First Resort for just under $250 CND including breakfast a night. Have you ever stayed there?
Ok!! I’m going to stay at wish!’ I like the idea of being away from the park! Does the mall have retail stores? Or is it just food
It's a mall with stores!
@@tdrexplorer yessss!! ok! wish it is!!
How does one got to Tokyo Disney on a gluten and dairy free diet? Just curious.
I wish the parks had paper maps. I don’t quite understand why there isn’t
We used to until the pandemic then they got rid of them.
Are you referring to the limousine bus from the airport?
Yep!
Are they super strict about the tattoo thing? Or can u just cover them up right?
If their policy says no tattoos that is a strict no. But some places will tolerate them, it’s always polite to ask first rather than trying to hide them!
Only for pools
Any other places you can’t go with tattoos?
Hello,i'm a fun from the philippines.how much per night?
Why tf is 20 minutes away fhdjdj
Staying at the Disney Celebration was the worst experience we have had. It is far away. Waiting for the bus after the park took forever……such a long line. Once we finally got there there was only one person doing the checking in. All the other guests in line were chinese and were yelling at each other and the front desk person. They were trying to negotiate the price for some reason. Once it was our turn you could tell the front desk person was just annoyed and did not like their job. They were short with us and just not very pleasant. This is the first time I have ever experienced this at a Tokyo Disney resort. We normally rotate between main resorts……the rooms were ok. When you you look out the windows you stare at some apartment buildings and it feels very industrial. Personally we will never stay at this hotel again, it’s not worth paying half price in my opinion.
Thanks for the videos. I would be I interested to see one on non Disney hotels near to the parks.
