You definitely need to more haul videos. Gives us a better look at the merch Japan has to offer. I'm a big pin fan and would buy those pins in a heartbeat!
You are always personable, and the videos feel like you're talking to us. This video does that so well that I found myself nodding along. 🙂 And of COURSE you got the clear files!
Whenever I feel sick or lonely or sad your channel is the perfect place to come for a grounding and joyful experience to help balance that out. (You also can make a good day even better.) Thanks as always for sharing your work. ❤❤❤ You’re a blessing to anyone who needs to feel more connected to the world and be reminded of the good that is in the world through that Disney joy.
You and I are on the same wavelength as far as buying/collecting. Everything you showed would be a must for me to buy as well. Pins were my passion until realizing it is impossible to get every single limited edition pin etc. Your choices were spot-on! I love ephemera, especially postcards. Thanks for making such an enjoyable video on those magical treasured trinkets.
OMG! Lemme tell you about my Lost Boys hat! We were staying at the Sheraton, across the street from the Fantasy Springs Hotel. From our window, we could see Neverland! The volcanoes were always smoking, and they lit them up at night, all night. We could see fireworks, the monorail… …one night a rainbow and a gold pirate ship appeared over Neverland! I am not really a fan of Peter Pan, but I am so glad I watched it again before our trip. We had four nights at that hotel. DisneySea was our last day there. My husband was tired and wanted to sit out near Tower of Terror. I shopped at the Emporio, while my daughter rode ToT for a second time. I had to get a standby pass and wait in line, and ended up buying soooo much stuff! I bought that Fox Lost Boys hat, and wore it all the way back to American Waterfront where I was going to meet back up with my family. I thought how perfect this all was. As the Fantasy Springs theme song goes, “what story will you find?” I found mine. It was Peter Pan. Everyone was getting ready to see Sea of Dreams and a special show celebrating the grand opening of Fantasy Springs, as it was NOT open. It opened the very next day. It was still daytime though. Rather than eat dinner in the park, my husband recommended picking something up at Ikspiari and then eating it in our hotel. I had just gotten that hat! The only real time to wear it, and we were leaving?!?
Thank you Chris, you gave me ideas to buy Tomica to add my collection. Also, with postcards which I will send to my friends and loved ones. It can be nostalgic for Gen X while I guess millennials will be surprised when they receive one😊
Yay, another video! My husband and I were binge watching all of your videos last night. Planning our trip to Tokyo Disney Resort this October with the help of your guidebooks!
I love your videos so much. You do such an amazing job and are so informative. I think Japan and Hong Kong really does Disney so much better than America. The detail in everything they do in Japan and Hong Kong is so beautiful. Take care Chris💜💛💚💙👍😀
Konnichiwa! I love your energy and your videos! They are so entertaining and informative. I've been wanting to visit Japan for years and would love to visit all of the major tourist destinations/attractions and sprinkle in a few local ones as well. Is it possible for you to do a video or a series on how which is the best hotel(s) to book, which restaurants, shopping, attractions, transportation, the best time for a family to visit etc.? This would be awesome to get your insight and it would help ease my anxiety 😅😅 Please and thank you sir!!
Wonderful haul. One can tell you put A LOT of thought and care into your purchases. Never apologize for getting something that makes you happy! Plus, the added bonus is we can be happy along with you that you own these treasures! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As I get older, the less I want to buy so I do my best to make a meaningful purchase. Doesn't mean I don't buy silly things from time to time but it's not as much as it was when I was in my 20s haha. Thank you for watching!
I love watching these merch hauls because I get to see the details of the merchandise! I especially enjoyed getting a close up of the Tomika vehicle collection! I've never seen/heard of those before and those are sooo cool! Please make more of these :) (I love all your Disney videos regardless hehe!!)
I loved seeing your merch haul! My weakness is also clear files and postcards (don't take up too much room in suitcases either!), but I hate the bundling of everything. It can get kinda expensive when it's never just 1 of something. Even the 2 or 3 keyring sets are annoying when you just want 1. I didn't buy so much at Disney because of the bundling. I did cave for a few postcards because I love framing those.
I definitely get nervous to use cards if they're very pretty. It's in the same nervousness family as not wanting to use a notebook because it's "too nice." 😅
My favourite so far is the Fairy land postcards. Very pretty. Also makes me realise how many movies I never watched. Disney were expensive if you were old enough to be a vhs time toddler. X) I also liket the Bear vacation small folders. They look very usable with the envelope thing on the back. I am more for buying stuff I would actually use. And the lady bears are herrrrmm more me. X)
I only eat popcorn at the movies when I have the rewards go through giving me a free birthday popcorn Check your local theaters people ! The rewards program is usually fewe and if yoy buy stuff there you can rack up points to earn free movie tickets or sodas , popcorns etc
I also have a terrible problem with not wanting to use stationary when it's too cute. I got the tangled and tinkerbell postcards but I must've missed the attraction ones >
looking forward to my trip in December !!! I got the vacation package ! Only 2 rides in Disneyland is on the fast pass lane … but I guess the unlimited rides in fantasy spring will make it worth it ~ hope it does not disappoint! It’s 301800 yen ! Ouch
I absolutely love everything you purchased! ❤ We live in Michigan and have visited both the Florida and California parks where I too purchased postcards as souvenirs. We hoped to make it out to Tokyo this year for my husband’s and my 60th birthdays. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with allergies, asthma and interstitial lung disease so the trips not gonna happen now. But I do enjoy watching your videos as it’s fun to see, even if I can’t experience it myself. Thanks again for sharing
Hey Chris! Thank you for the amazing and helpful videos you are sharing about Tokyo Disney! After watching them, I just purchased your book to plan for my trip. I was wondering whether the vaccation packages do have any rooms with a large double bed (170cm +) or not. I couldnt find any.
Hi Chris! Just watched the D23 video and now your Fantasy Springs haul video. In both your shirts are fantastic! Are they custom made or from a Disney park? Thank you!
Is it just me or does the ride vehicle toy cars remind anyone wlseof hallmark christmas ornaments ? I say as they have a lot of fandom custom ones (even ones that look like VHS tapes )
I love you're videos! each one gets me more excited for my trip in march. Do they sell tomica cars of other rides? I am desperate for a big thunder mountain one 😍
Hi TDR Explorer, I LOVE your videos, I am going to the Tokyo Resort on Tuesday and Wednesday, and I’m really nervous about entering Fantasy Springs, and I’ve seen your other video about that, I was wondering if you have any more new tips for entering the land without the vacation package since the old video about entering Fantasy Springs without a Vacation Package? Thank you so much, and I love your videos and content.
Hey, im happy Japan still does CDs i enjoy the convenience of digital music but at that point I just listen to it on TH-cam Music I enjoy having physical media, worst case scenario someone can rip thr cd back online if it becomes lost
Hello~ I was wondering if purchases at both the restaurants and stores can be made at Tokyo Disneyland/Sea using the Rakuten Pay or Point app? I tried looking it up several times and couldn't find an answer, this is the only place I could think to go for answers 😅
Hai I’m from Japan and gay who loved Disney !!! I’m going to go to Disney sea with my friend on 15th this month . Do you think it’s going to be a lot of people there ?!?!
Do you know the stock levels of merch? I saw on a different video someone said things were sold out. I’m going mid October and am scared my must haves will be sold out :/
Some things will sell out and then be restocked, other items won't be restocked at all. It's impossible to tell unfortunately what they will choose to bring back or not, so checking the store is your best bet. They are also going to start selling select park merchandise on the Disney Store Japan website so you might be able to find things there.
Stock levels show up in the Japanese version of the app in the shopping section, but the shopping option doesn't show up in the English version of the app. You can change the settings to Japanese and then the shopping section will show up but if you're outside Japan the images won't load (you need a VPN). So, it's kind of a pain. What Michael said in the other comment is also correct!
Maybe its because I didnt grow up with the jamboree bears 🐻 but they are wuite frankly kind of ugly to me. The art is a bit better but then again I grew up with Chuck E. Cheese when he was still a creepy ish fat rat instead of more mouse esc the early 200p's to now is a huge difference
You can watch my backlog of Patreon Q&A videos to help with your Japan travel plans -> patreon.com/tdrexplorer
I would LOVE for you to do a merch collection video showing us all the merch you've bought over the years.
Yes, that would be great. ❣️
Maybe one day!
I really want to see the clear file collection! ❤
OBSESSED with the art style on the Tinkerbell merchandise! I've always loved the Pixie Hollow book covers and I'm glad they've leaned into that style.
It's so well done, I love it.
You definitely need to more haul videos. Gives us a better look at the merch Japan has to offer. I'm a big pin fan and would buy those pins in a heartbeat!
I don't buy as much as I used to, but I still continue doing my merchandise tour videos! Those will always continue :)
You are always personable, and the videos feel like you're talking to us. This video does that so well that I found myself nodding along. 🙂
And of COURSE you got the clear files!
Thank you! It wouldn't be a merch haul video without a clear file of some sort, haha.
LovING your shirt Chris. Thanks once more for all the Tokyo scene…can’t wait to return.
The shirt is so good!
Whenever I feel sick or lonely or sad your channel is the perfect place to come for a grounding and joyful experience to help balance that out. (You also can make a good day even better.)
Thanks as always for sharing your work. ❤❤❤
You’re a blessing to anyone who needs to feel more connected to the world and be reminded of the good that is in the world through that Disney joy.
Love the postcards! I plan on buying some and putting them in a scrapbook 😁
I love that idea!
I really like the bag (the first one you showed) Iḿ a sucker for a bag with a good zipper on it! I love these, cause this is the videos I DO!
Love the postcards and masking tapes! Can't wait to gooooo
His beloved clear files ❤
You and I are on the same wavelength as far as buying/collecting. Everything you showed would be a must for me to buy as well.

I enjoy everything you do. You do it with joy and I'm all for the joy in life. 😍
Oh thank you!
Loved this ....... need to do more regularly please. Loving this channel
I'm a sucker for beautiful post cards ❤❤❤ Awesome haul!
The cards are so nice
LOVE that Rapunzel pin! Cool stuff :)
I cannot wait till get those Lost Boys Ears.. I’ve been seeing them online everywhere! :)
They're so cute!
OMG! Lemme tell you about my Lost Boys hat! We were staying at the Sheraton, across the street from the Fantasy Springs Hotel. From our window, we could see Neverland!

I love all the beautiful merch you guys get!!!! I’m a clear file fan too! We need all that beautiful merch at WDW!!! 😭😭
Thank you Chris, you gave me ideas to buy Tomica to add my collection. Also, with postcards which I will send to my friends and loved ones. It can be nostalgic for Gen X while I guess millennials will be surprised when they receive one😊
Just think of it this way, this is also good to see what you bought in case you forget 👍
Merch and f&b are always the best storylines from yours
Thank you!
Epic ❤
Excited to be moving to Tokyo finally 😊
Awesome!
Yay, another video! My husband and I were binge watching all of your videos last night. Planning our trip to Tokyo Disney Resort this October with the help of your guidebooks!
Thank you for watching and for getting the guidebooks! You're gonna be well prepared come October.
Great video again Chris I love getting to the end of the week! It's also my birthday today so I'm so excited to watch this today
Happy Birthday!
Japan has such cool merch ❤
I like watching your merchandise haul. This way, you can see the items better.
I hope you keep us showing the merchandise in the parks, too.
❣️✨️
I don’t care what type of video you make, because I guarantee you that I’ll watch it no matter what. Please keep being you.
Great video review for the Fantasy Spring Disney merchandise haul my favorite piece is the Tangled pin badge thanks for sharing this 👍❤️
Thank you for watching!
By the way, the shirt looks amazing on you! 🎉
Thank you! I really love the shirt and it matches so well.
Really enjoyed ths video. I like your usual content too, but this is a nice change of pace.
I really like the pins and the postcard! I also just wanna say thank you, watching your videos really bring me joy since losing my dad last winter. ❤️
Thank you for watching. I'm sorry for your loss
@@tdrexplorer Thank you so much ❤️
Like I said your videos bring me joy so I’m gonna keep watching them :)
I love your videos! I also bought your guide book and it really helped with my trip in May! Thank you so much!
I Love your Video's and all your great information about everything we need to know. I also appreciate all your hard work...
If I got to shop there, I would probably grab all the clear files and post cards too! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing! ❤ Wonderful haul video!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video
I love the haul videos
If you ever NOT buy a clear file we will know to call an ambulance for you.😂😊
Thanks again
If you don't see me buying a clear file, that means I'm in trouble, haha.
Tinkerbell postcards! FS postcard holder. Gotta love a cd
Those postcards are so beautiful!
I love your videos so much. You do such an amazing job and are so informative. I think Japan and Hong Kong really does Disney so much better than America. The detail in everything they do in Japan and Hong Kong is so beautiful. Take care Chris💜💛💚💙👍😀
Thank you for the kind words, that means a lot! I try my hardest haha.
Konnichiwa! I love your energy and your videos! They are so entertaining and informative.

Fairy Terry should be a TDR explorer Easter egg on Busy Buggies.b😛💕 Love the whole color palette of Fantasy Springs. Completely my vibe! 🥰
I'll have to talk to someone about Fairy Terry, haha.
I know it's not part of your merch haul, but I adore the Small World pillow in the background! Small World is one of my favorites!
I love watching these merch hauls because I get to see the details of the merchandise! I especially enjoyed getting a close up of the Tomika vehicle collection! I've never seen/heard of those before and those are sooo cool! Please make more of these :) (I love all your Disney videos regardless hehe!!)
Feel like u should do a video of ALL your merch
ALL HAIL FAIRY TERRY 🧚
I think he needs to be a regular character
@@tdrexplorer absolutely!! Spot the fairy terry!
Thanks for this … can’t wait to go in March. Would never have thought about getting postcards, but they are nice.
Have fun in March!
@@tdrexplorer thank you ☺️

Loved this video! Would love to see mini tours of some of the Disney things in your house (mug collection? Soft toy collection? Etc?)
Love the new popcorn bucket design
It's just not right how much better the merch is in Japan 😂😭
great merch haul! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
YES, that was FUN‼️☺️
Thank you for watching!
I enjoy these videos!
Before you opened the bag, I guessed you would have clear file folders and postcards. I was right! 😁
I'm that predictable aren't I haha
Everything is so cute. ❤ thanks for merch vid
Thank you for watching!
I definitely get nervous to use cards if they're very pretty. It's in the same nervousness family as not wanting to use a notebook because it's "too nice." 😅
Merch vids are always good
wow!!!!

You could use the postcard folder for 6x4 photos
I only eat popcorn at the movies when I have the rewards go through giving me a free birthday popcorn

Aww I love Cheese!

Yes yes
Omg I’m goin to faith I saw you in the park but I’m a like shy I’m a big big fan I’m Carlos ong I’m at Starbuks inside the park I love your videos

Hey Chris! Thank you for the amazing and helpful videos you are sharing about Tokyo Disney! After watching them, I just purchased your book to plan for my trip.
I was wondering whether the vaccation packages do have any rooms with a large double bed (170cm +) or not. I couldnt find any.
WOAH! ❣️
Those are so cute! I'm going there this September. Btw where did you get your Disneyland shirts? I love them.
I need to go to the Tokyo Disney parks and I need to go to Fantasy Springs! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes you do!
Hi Chris! Just watched the D23 video and now your Fantasy Springs haul video. In both your shirts are fantastic! Are they custom made or from a Disney park? Thank you!
I think I met Fairy Terry at a bar in Minneapolis. ;)
I think we've all met and have been Fairy Terry at one point, hahah.
Is it just me or does the ride vehicle toy cars remind anyone wlseof hallmark christmas ornaments ?

Yep!
@@tdrexplorer omg thank you so much!
I look forward to seeing any new content from you soon
The pillow from it’s a small world, where did you buy it?
Amazing video as always!!!
Tokyo Disneyland and thank you for watching!

You'll be fine, just get there as early as you're comfortable with! My other video is still relevant.
@@tdrexplorer thank you !!
Hey, im happy Japan still does CDs i enjoy the convenience of digital music but at that point I just listen to it on TH-cam Music
I enjoy having physical media, worst case scenario someone can rip thr cd back online if it becomes lost
Love the commitment to Fairy Terry, they’re my favorite character 😁
Fairy Terry needs to be a character in the attraction haha
Please show your collection ❤
Hello~
I was wondering if purchases at both the restaurants and stores can be made at Tokyo Disneyland/Sea using the Rakuten Pay or Point app?
I tried looking it up several times and couldn't find an answer, this is the only place I could think to go for answers 😅
Hai I’m from Japan and gay who loved Disney !!! I’m going to go to Disney sea with my friend on 15th this month .
Do you think it’s going to be a lot of people there ?!?!
❤
Do you ever frame the pretty postcards you want to keep or one from every set in one big picture frame?
4:55 question kind of answered with the postcard holder
How many postcards fit in the holder book? I can’t seem to find a definitive answer online :0
Do you know the stock levels of merch? I saw on a different video someone said things were sold out. I’m going mid October and am scared my must haves will be sold out :/
Some things will sell out and then be restocked, other items won't be restocked at all. It's impossible to tell unfortunately what they will choose to bring back or not, so checking the store is your best bet. They are also going to start selling select park merchandise on the Disney Store Japan website so you might be able to find things there.

So, it's kind of a pain. What Michael said in the other comment is also correct!
Do you know if the monorail stations have stamps after the rally (on a normal basis)?
This is the first time I've seen a stamp rally
Is it true that Tokyo Disney does not do t-shirts large than LL? I am a 3L in Japan and have never been able to get shirts
That's not true, entirely. Some shirts go up to 3L but it's not for every t-shirt design.
Why is the address on the Fairy Terry ride the Banks residence and not the Darling residence? Do all of the carts have different addresses?
Not sure, it's a good question for those who worked on the attraction! I think they're all the same but I honestly didn't pay close attention.
Duffy merch please!!
I would do a haul but I haven't bought any Duffy merchandise in a while
I will be waiting patiently
hi Chris I would buy almost everything you bought except the pins the bears ones I´m not a big fan of that show 🦂
Thank you for always watching!
Clear file he is cheating on you with postcard😂
Hi Chris, i have to apologize to you. I was calling you Peter...Sorry..
Maybe its because I didnt grow up with the jamboree bears 🐻 but they are wuite frankly kind of ugly to me.
The art is a bit better but then again I grew up with Chuck E. Cheese when he was still a creepy ish fat rat instead of more mouse esc the early 200p's to now is a huge difference
