Great video! We just booked our vacation package for December. With the conversion rate it ended up being $2100 for 2 nights/2 adults for Disneyland Hotel. I honestly didn't price out hotel/tickets separately but figured since this is our one trip and we REALLY wanted to do Fantasy Springs it was well worth it. The other premiere passes to attractions like Baymax/Belle/Journey just make it even more appealing from a stress-free perspective. One tip I'd have is to book via the TDR app instead of the webpage! I was on my PC browser and my TDR app simultaneously and was able to fill out all the options and successfully check-out on the app before I was able to finish putting my options for day 2 on my PC. And this is AFTER I got through all the loading of options on PC the night before just to have it hang on the "you need to log in screen" for 2 hrs before erroring out. Lesson learned on that front. Wanted to share in case this helps anyone else. :)
It was our fourth day at the parks June 6 for our vacation package. We got into the park at 11am and was able to ride all the FS twice and it was a breeze (other than all the walking back and forth as we also stayed at Toy Story). As we headed straight onto our second time riding the rapunzel ride my husband said “well this is what a small fortune gets you”. So yeah, it was worth the money for sure.
I sat in front of a child having a core memory experience on Tokyo Big Thunder whne we went last week. Felt bad, so I complimented his bravery in broken Japanese after the ride and gave him a high five.
Hey Tom glad to see you enjoying yourself. Make sure when you go back in July and August stay hydrate and find areas with shade during mid-day to afternoon away from the sun. It gets extremely dangerous hot and humid in Tokyo during these months as temperatures sometimes reach close to 40 degree C, hope you stay healthy and have fun!
Hello Tom! Thanks for the detailed guide to this vacation package. Side note: If I remember correctly, the interior of the restaurant at TDR's Camp Woodchuck was faithfully replicated in a later episode of the stellar 2017 "Ducktales" reboot (I think it was Season 3, Episode 1: "Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!"). Keep up the great work!
the cast members seem beyond extraordinary here! Everyone seems so happy and excited. One of these days Tokyo, I will visit you... I swear I will. This package seems like an amazing deal as well.
I just got a huge package of Fantasy Springs merch today I ordered come when this video dropped and I'm opening everything while I'm watching. Almost feels like I'm there with you. I even teared up with all the Japanese cast members cheering and welcoming everyone to Fantasy Springs.
I see you’re obsessed with this channel , which is why you took potshots at me for leaving a negative comment on Tom’s “honest” Tiana’s review. He can do no wrong and you’ll attack anyone who has a differing opinion. Tacky.
Ah, yes. Tokyo, home now of the only Splash mountain left and the country bears! I like what I have seen so far of Fantasy Springs! Guess we will see you back in the stat
Despite not agreeing with you on Tiana's being a worthy Splash replacement, I very much still enjoy your videos, especially these informative and entertaining ones! 😆 I appreciate you breaking down this info/experience! It would also be interesting to see a specific price breakdown and compare vs what (roughly) the same things would cost without the package.
Its so nice to spend time with you, Tom, like this. These vlogs are such a treat. Your way of doing them is relaxing and just great vibes all around. Thanks for taking us with you.
Most important video to come out of this series, for me at least. I watched another video from elsewhere and I wasn't sure I really understood this process. So, v excite!
Idk TDR to me has always been very hit or miss for English speakers. I’m fluent in Japanese so generally I just use the JP site but I always found it fascinating that the English site is still missing a few things here or there. You would think with the recent interest and in flux of foreigners they’d prepare for it but I guess not. Also the TDR app feels substantially better to use in Japanese imo, it obviously was designed with JP in mind first.
The vast majority of the people in the Disney parks are Japanese. I know you have been there just stand anywhere and look around maybe 5 out of 20 are Western tourist.
For the unlimited drink i think its meant to stop people picking up like 3 drinks and then using them unlimited, so like you can have 1 Cup per person but then refil as you want - im commenting before watching the rest of the video obviously
Regarding your comment about the TDL Vacation Package being around $1400.00 and that being expensive, I just looked up a 1 night room stay at the Contemporary Resort at WDW with two days of park tickets and it costs $1734.00 for 2 people. I do not think the TDL Vacation Package with all of its perks is too expensive. I just booked a 2 night stay at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel with the Vacation package for October for 2 adults and it was $2400.00. It was quite a challenge though just to book the package, you really have to do your homework!
Aloha and thank you for the clarification of the vacation package. I think that Fantasy Springs special ticket makes it worth it. Im planning to get a 2d/ 1nt package in December. FS Hotel is booked so I’m deciding on Mira Costa vs Ambassador. My question is what do you do with your overnight bags/luggage on the morning of the first Disneyland day? Did you leave it at the Toy Story bell desk and then come to Disneyland or did you leave it in lockers at Disneyland?
Guests staying in the Fantasy Springs hotel can buy this special ticket separately, so in the end everything will be quite cheaper than a vacation package, but good luck finding the availability.
@@WDWNT In our case it was ¥120K for the Fantasy Springs Hotel + park tickets vs ~¥200K for a package in the Toy Story Hotel. While packages include some bells and whistles (which I don't really care about,) their cost is basically included in the total cost.
The package may be expensive but this about the regular general admission is half the price of the ticket here in Florida. We are going in November and we have bought the package
Thank you Tom!! We leave in a few days and you answered so many of our questions about the vacation package!! Did you ever get the popcorn holder for the VP?
I remember when the VP came out hardcore fans were up in arms over it being pay-to-win. a lot of this mentality is why so many attractions are lottery based in TDR. That being said, we have shareholder tickets so was never worth it. pretty easy to get a reservation to FS hotel if you know some tricks, so looking forward to that this July.
So with the meet and great did you get to pick who you wanted to see? if you were able to pick what were the other characters you could have picked?(sorry if you answered in the video I only saw part of it and will be watching the rest later today)
Thank you for this video. I bought a vacation package and had so many questions! And still do. Did you print this ahead of time? How did you get you plan I only got a confirmation email.
1:10:12 What!!! so im staying FS hotel 2 nights and toystory hotel on my last night.. im doing land, sea,sea with the all-you-can-ride vac pac... you are telling me on my last sea day, i cant go through the FS hotel to exit to the other side to easily reach the toy story hotel? i have to go all the way back to the Italian port and take the monorail just to get to the toy story hotel?
The only thing that gets me about the tinkerbell ride is where are the fairies??? Have one for each of the areas projections/animatronic I don’t care but I promise you my 5 yr old would comment on it
You guys are hilarious you haggle w/ each other Like an ol married couple.
I wouldn’t be surprised if at this point some of the Fantasy Springs Cast Members just know who Tom is now.
They do lol
great to see you out with nana in tokyo!

Fantastic! 🥰 Small fortune!How much was everything?🤔
Wow all the waving cast members kind of made me tear up. Almost as great as Pooh's Honey Hunt!

@newworldastrology1102 what "negative" did I say about you?
How did you order the fantasy springs merch? I wanted a few things but I live in hawaii.
Ah, yes. Tokyo, home now of the only Splash mountain left and the country bears! I like what I have seen so far of Fantasy Springs! Guess we will see you back in the stat
This was great more videos with Nana!

That tinkerbell ride is a damn omnimover. Haven’t seen a new one of those in forever. Dunno if we’ll see one again.
It’s not
Why? Because there aren’t multiple cars in a chain?
Most important video to come out of this series, for me at least. I watched another video from elsewhere and I wasn't sure I really understood this process. So, v excite!
Another wonderful vlog Tom and Nana! Thanks for all the fantastic content. 💫

The app pretty much works the same, I’ve used both, but totally agree on the website
The vast majority of the people in the Disney parks are Japanese. I know you have been there just stand anywhere and look around maybe 5 out of 20 are Western tourist.
For the unlimited drink i think its meant to stop people picking up like 3 drinks and then using them unlimited, so like you can have 1 Cup per person but then refil as you want - im commenting before watching the rest of the video obviously
Thank you Tom！また日本に来てね！
I like how they have Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet at Minnie’s style studio 😍. What a great detail
19:58 lmao that look you two had!!
Did they mail you the paperwork?
You never mentioned in the video if you were able to swap out your breakfast with dinner.
We weren’t able, but it can be done
Tom hitting the slot machines at Tokyo Disney. Hilarious
21:14 - Great, now I have the "Spike the Bee" song in my head again.

Hi, Tom. I hope you have a paper work for you at Tokyo Disney Resort as Disney vacation.
I feel like the ability to ride the rides unlimited makes the package worth it alone. Plus entering other rides in the park!
Guests staying in the Fantasy Springs hotel can buy this special ticket separately, so in the end everything will be quite cheaper than a vacation package, but good luck finding the availability.
That hotel is priced in a way that it’s not cheaper lol
@@WDWNT In our case it was ¥120K for the Fantasy Springs Hotel + park tickets vs ~¥200K for a package in the Toy Story Hotel. While packages include some bells and whistles (which I don't really care about,) their cost is basically included in the total cost.

When do you actually get your vacation package? Is it the day of your first park entrance? Because yes, aren’t you going into the park late?
You can go to the Welcome Center before park open or even days in advance, you can go to the hotel and get your package items before you get a room
Thank you Tom!! We leave in a few days and you answered so many of our questions about the vacation package!! Did you ever get the popcorn holder for the VP?
We did, I forgot to film it lol
Gertie! 💚🦕👋😍🥰
States in August.
I remember when the VP came out hardcore fans were up in arms over it being pay-to-win. a lot of this mentality is why so many attractions are lottery based in TDR.
That being said, we have shareholder tickets so was never worth it. pretty easy to get a reservation to FS hotel if you know some tricks, so looking forward to that this July.
I’m a little confused about the standby passes. Do you need one for every ride in Magic kingdom and Disney Sea?
Does the vacation package already include the price of the hotel?
Yes
The drop is definitely much shorter on their Splash. I Was shocked when I rode it. It’s Less intense just as is their Tower of Terror.
So with the meet and great did you get to pick who you wanted to see? if you were able to pick what were the other characters you could have picked?(sorry if you answered in the video I only saw part of it and will be watching the rest later today)
wonderful vlog Tom and Nana!
Who is nana. What’s her story
Thank you for this video. I bought a vacation package and had so many questions! And still do. Did you print this ahead of time? How did you get you plan I only got a confirmation email.
1:10:12 What!!! so im staying FS hotel 2 nights and toystory hotel on my last night.. im doing land, sea,sea with the all-you-can-ride vac pac... you are telling me on my last sea day, i cant go through the FS hotel to exit to the other side to easily reach the toy story hotel? i have to go all the way back to the Italian port and take the monorail just to get to the toy story hotel?
As of now, correct
@@WDWNT i see, thank you for the info, much appreciated
We miss you, Splash Mountain :(
Go to Japan my friend you won’t regret it
The only thing that gets me about the tinkerbell ride is where are the fairies??? Have one for each of the areas projections/animatronic I don’t care but I promise you my 5 yr old would comment on it
Friend, if it wasn't for working for the company for 2 years... I'd never get the hang of military time.
Do you have an airline preference when you go to Japan? How long does it take?
Delta, 10-14 hours depending on airport
Tom could you EXIT fantasy springs from the hotel entrance?
No
How did you receive your ''paperwork'' Tom? Did you go to your hotel on Day 1 to get them? Pick up from the Welcome Centre?
We went to the hotel a few days early
@@WDWNT Thanks for the info.
Country bear vacations jamboree is back
Gertie's nostrils make her look like she's making the 😐 face. 😅
Thanks for this great review!
Was the total 187 yen?
For what
So glad Tokyo doesn’t care about being politically correct.
Thank goodness
