we need merch that says apple tea soda is my jam
We just got back from a trip using a vacation package. It might not be for everyone but for our once-in-lifetime Disneyland trip it was definitely worth it and saved us lots of hassle. We managed to ride everything we wanted to at both parks and had an amazing time!
That's awesome! Thank you for watching
I'm so torn! We aren't super into disney (our 4 year old is 😂) and we are really excited but we have that 4 year old and a 1 year old.... it's so expensive for a package but the skipping of the lines is very, very tempting. I practice booked one and had trouble filling the selected attractions so I don't think it's worth it. But. I keep going back and forth 😂
How soon before your trip did you book the package? I’m happy you did it! YOLO!
Are you from the US? What credit card did you have success with?
@@arr255 you are best to just buy the DPA (fast pass) on a individual ride basis based on which one your kid/you really want to go on. if you do the vacation package, select the rides that do not have reserved time so its easier to go when ever during the day depend on child's mood/where you are in the park . last thing you want to do is commit to a ride at specific time and you are rushing to it from opposite end of the park with child in towe
We’ve done the vacation package twice. Pro tip: to maximise the value, the vacation package allows you to book the fancier restaurants as well. I’ve done both normal access and vacay package, the biggest pro is time management for those who have young kids!
How do you book the fancy restaurants with the vacation packages? I’m very interested ❤️❤️❤️
What a great video. As soon as you mentioned unlimited drinks I immediately thought I wonder how many apple tea sodas Chris’ can drink. The hotel was gorgeous.
Hahah, you know me so well! I knew I had to drink as many as I could. Thank you for watching
@@tdrexplorer Yeah but seriously, how many!! 😝
As a solo traveller, I'm happy they're doing solo packages. I'll definitely give it a go next time I go especially with the park expansion
Is it new? Are they doing it as from June and for all hotels? Thank you :)
@jessicadwg Yes, solo packages start on the 5th of June. I just checked and it looks like it's available for all hotels.
53:40 - while I love the creativity of a "popcorn vent", I had a good laugh when you realized what the top's flap was really meant for. Keep on being your awesome self!
Hahah thank you. I sometimes just say what comes to mind at first and go from there. Sometimes it’s funny 😆
I feel the difference with you taking it easy, is that for most people, this might be the only time they will be at Tokyo Disney resorts so they don't have time to be leisurely. They have to pack in as much of the park and experiences, they can in the two days.
I was in the same category of room in Mira Costa. Major bonus is that you can even see the nightly closing show from your own room (though there is something about being on the ground that makes it more exciting). Overall I loved that hotel.
I just found your Chanel like 2 days ago and have already watched like 20 videos, I’m not even into Disney but these videos are incredible comforting and feel like an actual lil trip c: esp always enjoy the lil window shopping part
Just booked a package because of the premium Fantasy Springs access. For two nights, it ended up being about 40 000 yen higher than booking the items separately, but being guaranteed to ride all the new attractions with low waits and have everything taken care of up front was worth it.
My Chase Sapphire Reserve card worked on the first try online.
me too but also the unlimited drink was another seller for me. not having to carry dead weight of water bottles and the ability to try new drinks without worrying paying for soemthing you don't like
I love your videos, your voice is so calming, and I really appreciate how informative and well edited all of them are. This one was such a great experience! I don’t know if I will ever get the chance to visit Tokyo, but it’s definitely on my bucket list after your videos. Watching them makes my day, thank you for sharing!! ❤🎉😊
He even explained the washlet. ;). good to know.
Thank you for all your videos! We booked the vacation package after watching this. Love your positive and calming manor. You make us laugh while watching as though we’re friends and hanging out together in the park! 😁
As someone who isn’t a fan of going to Disney parks I love these videos!! They give me the opportunity to see the parks without all the aspects I hate and seeing your enthusiasm and passion while exploring the parks brings me so much joy!!
We are coming in May and have a vacation package for two nights at Disneyland hotel and then move to Miracosta for 4 nights without package. We are so excited! We had your 2023 guide book which was very helpful to figure out what we were doing while booking.
I'll be there in May as well! I'll wave to you on the Monorail! 😁
This is such an informative video, thank you so much for going out of your way to make the information so digestible! Also looking forward to your universal beijing video, so excited to experience a brand new park with you!
Thank you for watching! Yes, the Beijing video is coming (I had over 3 hours of footage and it’s been daunting to get done with everything else happening like getting out two guidebooks done, but the Beijing video will be out soon!)
Nothing better than a 1h Chris explorer video!
Perfect Timing of Video! I had booked a vacation package in the morning and this popped up shortly thereafter. I was having nightmares of credit card not working / connection issues the morning of visit, so booking the package (specifically for the included Fantasy Springs entrance ticket) took a load of my shoulders. THANK YOU for all your wonderful videos!
Hello ! Were there any issues with paying online ? I’m looking to book soon but my dates aren’t opened yet. Thank you. Safe travels !
Hello! I had no problem and was very happy about that! There was a verification step to take, but other than that, all was smooth.
We booked a vacation package in June and will be staying at the new Fantasy Springs hotel, can’t wait!
Hello ! Did you book through the reservation site ? Also were there any issues with paying ? Safe travels !
@@serg627yes I booked through the official site. My credit card first denied the charge so I had to contact them to tell them it was an approved charge.
Any recommendations for booking fantasy springs? Are you booking with a US credit card>
@@emilydanger03 the site opens the next available date of fantasy spring hotel booking at 11am japan time (for booking of the newly released date ). the website refreshes at 5am japan time (cancellations will mostly be updated ). call your credit card company and let them know you will be making a large foreign transaction to avoid transaction been flagged.
Thank you for this detailed video! We were just able to book TDH in June with the Fantasy Springs entry 🎉 I would never have known about it if it wasn’t for your video ❤ SO excited! Thanks again
This video was so helpful. As someone who is coming next year from the US I was so overwhelmed as to where to begin. I'm still a little nervous but I also bought the Explorer Guide to help!
Tokyo Disney Resort is a completely different beast when it comes to planning! Thank you so much for getting my guidebook, it will help you out immensely! (For those that read these comments, you can check out my guidebooks on my website tdrexplorer.com/books )
Great video, thank you! We're visiting for the first time in July and your videos have been so helpful!!!
I just booked 3 day vacation package (including the fantasy springs access), at the miracosta, for october! This video was really helpful to understand if it was worth it, I'm very excited
Thank you for doing this. It is very helpful for planning my trip.
Thank you so much for the super in-depth review! ❤ We were there in May 2023 for our honeymoon and had the Palazzo Canals room.
the view from the hotel room!! 😍
Love your content💕 Thank you for sharing this detailed video of the Disney Package. My family and I have been trying to figure out the best option to visit Tokyo Disney. All of the perks included make the price worth it. Thank You 🙏
Thank you Chris for another great video
This was immensely informative. Thank you so much!
I was spending the past week trying to figure out the pros & cons of a vacation package, and trying to do my own math on what the premium is versus buying everything like DPA a la carte. Thanks Chris, this was really helpful!
And I just realized your 2024 guidebooks are out! Your 2023 book helped me so much last year, ordered this updated version immediately for my upcoming trip! 😉
Thank you so much for getting our guidebooks! It means a lot 😭 We put so much work into them to make sure they’re useful since TDR is an entirely different beast compared to all the other Disney Resorts.
Thank you so much for this detailed review! I just booked a package for July for a night and this helped a lot!
Great video ! I got vacation package for fantasy springs in June 😆 can’t wait to see the difference one year from now
This was so helpful! Now it all makes sense!
Oh wow- very cool video for us who live in U.S. and want to visit Tokyo Disney!! I'm so happy that they Disney park encouraged (sponsored?) you in staying here and making this vlog- it's great advertising for them, and also great for us who get to see it!! 😀
Thank you for watching! I paid for the room myself.
Thank you for this video! It's very informative as well as pleasant to watch, your pace is more my style than the frantic-yelling type 😊 We just got back from celebrating our 15 year anniversary at Disneyland Paris, we stayed at the newly reopened 5* Disneyland hotel. It was pure bliss... but now I can't stop watching DL videos 😂 Fingers crossed we'll do the Tokyo one too. All the best to you ✌️✨️
Thanks for the informative video. I’m hoping to grab a vacation package when I visit Japan next April :)
Outstanding video! That view worth the price alone!
I really enjoyed the room tour! I appreciate the translations for people like me who only speak English 😊 30:29
Hi… I laughed at when you share the popcorn bag… lol 😅the vent to smell the popcorns.. lol 😂 I knew it was for wet wipes… but you found out soon enough… and lol… love watching your shares… i won’t know when I’ll ever get to visit
Disney seas at Tokyo and or any that you share.. this really helps.. 😊thanks .. I enjoy it..
Thank you so much for your review! Your review is very helpful. Keep doing this. I will support you❤❤❤
I know I am just starting this video, but I already know it's going to be an incredible Video!
This was so helpful. Thank you. 😊
I just found your videos and I’m now obsessed. I loveeeee your voice!
Felt like I was in the Park :-) Magical video as always!
OMG thank you for the Wise card tip. I was trying to figure out the 3D security issue with my American cards. 🤩
As a mom the popcorn bag would double as a fun light diaper bag. Easy accessible wipes is a must with little ones
I was always intrigued by the vacation package so im really glad you made a full video about it. Thank you again i love it ❤. It's about 1600€ for me i think that the price is really correct for everything that you get
This was really helpful, Chris! I'm hoping to visit in the next year or two! I heard there will be new areas opening and a new hotel? Hopefully I can time it to see those once they open.
Yay I am looking to book a similar package too for October! Your video came just in time!
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching
I’m definitely doing a vacation package for Fantasy Springs.
Thanks! I always have question about vacation pkg and your video have answers. ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much
Yes it’s here!!!!! I’m so ready!
Thank you for watching!
This was an excellent video!! Thank you for explaining things so well. The vacation package seems well worth it for me and my husband for our trip next year! We will happily pay extra for a stress-free disney trip in Tokyo. We still have PTS from Genie+ 😅
Going in May for our first time and can't wait!
We didn't do the Vacation Package, but we did get one of the Chip 'n Dale room at the Ambassador and so excited!
Please don't be scared if a random fat old guy asks you for a hug in the park! 😁
This video was so amazing, I definitely am gonna do the vacation package but with the cheapest hotel lol, probably two nights in a Disney hotel and like 3 or 4 nights in shibuya to see my Japanese idol perform😂😂
We got the vacation package too and had the same room! It was an amazing experience. The unlimited drinks voucher was awesome too. We loved Rapunzel's Magical Milk Tea at the Snuggly Duckling. Went back every chance we got to get a cup.
This video was excellent! Very educational and it's always fun seeing you have a good time!
I wish the Tokyo parks were a bit better in regards to food allergies since that's the biggest obstacle for my partner and I going overseas to visit. 😢 At least I get to live vicariously through your videos!
I apologize for all the expletives I shouted when seeing your spectacular view from the room. Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you so much for this!!! Planning my first tokyo trip in the future and i was wondering if the packages are worth it. I wish you could book mord than 2 night's
can't wait to go back!
I hope you get to go back soon too!
Great video! Have you considered doing a video of off property hotels?
Thanks for another great video Chris! Do you think with the opening of Fantasy Springs coming, that having a vacation package is worth it, for the access?
I don't think i will ever go to a Disney Park. Therefore, i love watching your videos. It's like i go along go with you. The hotel looks beautiful. Could you take the toothbrush and other things with you? Thank you for sharing this with us. ❣️
glad to see they will now offer the package for single travelers
Yes!
We are going in early April and booked a 1 night pkg at the Disneyland Hotel and then I booked 2 more nights (hotel only) at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel (so a total of 3 days and 3 nights). Looking forward to it!
0:55 Boy, do you have more courage than I! You said to your knowledge you check in at the hotel not the building behind you. I would not go all the way to the hotel I would at least check at the building behind you before I trekked it all the way over to the hotel! You are too funny!
Thanks for the amazing content! Also, never think your videos are too long, we will always watch- all videos no matter the length! Also, love
Your editing!
0:55 holy cow, that's almost when we were there! We loved Land. Hopefully some day we can come back and do Sea. As far as I'm concerned this is the only true Disney park left in the world.
We’re visiting this month and I am going to make sure I try an apple tea soda 😝
Loved this video - thank you! Do you think once Fantasy Springs opens, the two night/three day vacation packages will enable you to book return attraction ticket times for the Fantasy Spring rides??
I’m glade that you did a video about vacation package. I was thinking about it and I did not know you are not able to book on the Japan web site if you don’t live in Japan. You said the person who lives in Japan also have to go with you?
we bought the vacation package too! will always remember how sweet the free chocolates were 😅
I'm so excited to try apple tea soda lol
I did my vacation for Walt Disney World 🌎 in Florida back in March 2023.
Wow! I just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I’m hooked! I don’t frequent Disney parks but do watch an occasional Disney video on here but your videos are just different .. in a good way! Your voice is so calming, you’re informative, narrative, funny, and I just can’t stop watching. I feel like I’m always right there with you in these videos. Great job ❤
One question and I hope this isn’t crossing a line because I mean it with respect, is the camera man your current partner? I’m new and I guess kinda lost but felt in the way you talk that maybe he is. Just trying to be in the loop.
Anyway much love and can’t wait to keep watching!
How fun! Thanks for sharing your experience. Does “camera man” have a name?! 🤣
:) I think "camera man" name is "camera man" . What a coincidence, right? XD XD (hehe, I think camera man wants to keep his privacy otherwise they would have named him :) )
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m planning a trip for August 2025. I also bought your guide book and will probably purchase one for 2025 if you make one for then. I think I’m going to splurge and get the vacation package. Thanks again!!
Thank you for much, Irene! We release an updated version every year, so we'll have a 2025 version out early next year. Your support means so much!
I’m going to Tokyo Disney in 2weeks with a vacation package and found your video really useful. Thank you SO MUCH! Was wondering though, did you have to join the normal queue to get the freebies (drink, popcorn etc)?
chris thankyou for your videos when ever i start to have axiety or panic about stupid stuff or feel like im about to get drunk and end my self i turn on your videos and feel safe and accepted
Thank you sooool muchhhhhhhh
How do you book a trip to fantasy springs, and what the requirements are? Can you make a video of a step by step on how to book the trip!
Always been curious on what can I do with my luggage if I stayed at a Disney hotel but going to the park during the checkout time, and no one actually explains it except you! Thank you! Always very helpful. Glad you had a good time at the park! Just wondering will Harmony in Color replace Dreaming Up from now on? Even after the 40th Anniversary celebrations?
9:09 here you can see the price for those wo are interested. Still "cheap" compared to WDW in my opinion. At WDW they'll charge you the same amount of money just for the hotel room.
Would love to go this route, but I'm heading out alone, so I can't book anything sadly. Shame, but hopefully I'll get lucky with premier access the day of lol
I love all of your videos! My wife and I are planning using your guidebooks for a trip later this year. Will you be going to Ghibli Park after it reopens with the new Valley of Witches?
Yes I am!
Thank-you so much for this video, can you please tell me how to change our attractions that we have chosen - need to swap things around I am still within the period. Tokyo Disney website doesn't seem as straight forward as the one in the states....
I don't know if it's frowned upon but I would be So! tempted to take all the cute toiletries 🤣!
52:48 that might be a spot for hand wipes? 😅 That's what it looks like to me and popcorn can leave hands...buttery. 53:18 the realization 😂 he got there eventually, but a vent for smell is a good idea
Great video but interesting how it's almost a year old. SOOO much has changed and the primary benefit of the package now is Fantasy Springs access. The rest of it though I think is pretty similar (I have a couple booked for my trip but haven't experienced using them yet).
This was so informative, thank you! I'm going in october and considering the vacation package since Fantasy Springs in included. I Do have a question, it says that the Fantasy Springs entrance comes with premier access to the rides there. Do you know if that's on top of the 3 premier access tickets you already get per day from the package?
We looked at booking the vacation package, but fee wise, it just wasn't affordable, but i really enjoyed watching this,
Hi, Chris! Did you know that apple tea soda candy will go on sale on March 22nd? Apple tea soda reminded me of you as soon as I heard it!😂
When I first watched this video, I never fathomed I'd EVER book a vacation package. And yet there I was a few days ago doing just that. And then upgrading it yesterday to a terrace room harbor view. So this video suddenly became extra helpful!
I'm wondering though. All the packages I saw made us go to Disneyland first and then DisneySea the second day. Interesting that yours does it the opposite. I'm guessing Fantasy Springs has something to do with it.
I want to go here one day 😭
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Irene!
Hi Chris! Just a quick Q, for the vacation package, if we are 4 people staying in 1 room, will all 4 get the privileges (priority pass, breakfast, etc.)? Thanks in advance and really enjoyed all your content and was really helpful in all my Japan trips. Lastly, love the apple tea as well
Thank you so much for this video! One quick clarifying question: If I wanted an extra night on either side of my package, is the easiest solution to buy those two nights individually in the same room type? Will the resort automatically put me in the same room for all four nights?
Which two days are best to book for a vacation package if you don’t want to long lines and so it’s not to busy like usual or in which months too? I love these videos 💕💕
need to visit
Great video! I’m visiting in October and your videos are great help. I’m just finding it so hard to book a vacation package. I’ve been testing dates (as I can’t book october yet) but even checking the latest dates as they release, it always says no availability. Is there a trick to tip?
These are super popular and limited so you have to book the day they open for your dates.
Thanks you for sharing your blog it was awesome 😘 I hope you and carmea man had a great time . Thank you for great information
please can you tell me the name if the ship in the background. Love from Northern Ireland
💞💞💞 So Be Good and Be Safe 💞💞💞
Thank you for watching! I can't remember the name.
Thank you 💞💞💞
As long as you have your Apple tea soda you can do anything. ;). That was nice they had apple juice ready for you at reception. Almost like they knew.
