Tokyo DisneySea is the perfect version of DisneyLand. Not too expensive while still maintaining the magic. Just been there recently twice. It’s that good.
I went twice in the 10 YEARS I LIVED THERE. Everyone wanted to go to freaking Disneyland. Don't get me wrong! Disneyland is dope! But disneysea was sooo much cooler. You had journey to the center of earth, 20,000 leagues olunder the sea, (before it got dismantled,) this really cool hurricane hunters ride and I'm pretty sure Indiana Jones was there as well! Tower of terror was also featured there, and God. I freaking loved the raging spirits roller coaster.
As a bigger guy I was super touched by how helpful the staff at Disney Sea Japan was. They came and found me in the lines and took me back stage so I could see if I fit on the rides.
Were you able to fit on most things? I know Disney in America is pretty generous with their seats and people only really have issues with the Avatar ride due to the leg locks
@@alpaca6462 The only thing I ended up fitting on was Soaring and the Nemo ride. I couldn't fit on the Journey to the Center of the Earth ride which was the main one I wanted.
That's so kind of them! That way, it saves the embarrassment of not being allowed on the ride in que, time wasted in vain and making sure safety protocols are followed. I just know the operators must have been so anxious to ask as well because they worry of being offensive. It sounds like you appreciated it, though, and showed class, so that's good. 😊
@@Random_Kitten252im surprised they even let them buy the rights to use their name. There must be details in the contract requiring them to not poorly represent the brand.
You also forgot to mention that people don’t cut in line!!! I see entire families in US Disney cut in line. The Japanese people have much more politeness and respect. And Japanese people are super enthusiastic to take your photo. I got like 10 different angles from this Japanese girl when I asked her to take my photo. Such a gem ✨
That’s an issue in the US? Where I live no one cuts lines, aside from children who had to go to the washroom & then come back in line with their parents, I’ve barely seen people cut in line
i remember being a hostess and a group of elderly ladies asked me to take their photos and i did (happily) and they were surprised by how long i took and i remember their eyes widening when i sent over a whole bunch from different angles 😭🙏 (this was in the US)
@@emmaleebuzzard1023 i'm in the US and half my disney group cut the line. it's definitely a thing unfortunately. hard to believe those people had no guilt whatsoever. rise of the resistance if anyone was wondering, which can have a wait of two hours.
It used to be the other way around when they used to have an annual pass. Mom's would bring their kids to keep them entertained and chat with other moms.
Worth noting, Disney Sea is more marketed for college students and adults largely (maybe high school too?). Lots more rollercoasters and beer is widely available, unlike Tokyo Disneyland. It was my favorite. I'm also their target audience, so makes sense.
Another interesting thing is that Japanese law Requires certain food to be sold as advertised, which probably includes quite a few food stands. Companies doing that in the US would likely triple the price :(
Its advertised mainly for COUPLES on dates and highschoolers. Thats why when you ask a local, theyd tell you that disney land is mainly kid friendly while disney sea is more on adult version.
She ate at most of the food stands and she spent $30!!!?? Plus the food there ACTUALLY looked like the food advertised!!!?? 🤯 😂😂😂😂 seriously, this is so sad for other theme parks.
I mean, Japanese yen value is driven to the ground so most stuff over there is a steal. I've been there this summer and a bag of chips that would normally cost $3-4 here in America are like 180 yen/$1.20 in Japan.
Tristan, 🙄 People like you have to argumentative just for the sake of being argumentative. There is no theme park that is reasonable on food prices. Except maybe this Disneyland she's talking about. If you're eating at almost all of the food places for around $30 at any other theme park you must be digging through the trash cans. 😂😂
Maybe for one person. But just chips on a stick is already 8 euros for two and waffles too around 8-10 euros for two people. And expect everything else to be around the same price. And lets not talk about parking price, ticket price and expensive merch. Been there last year. Total expense about 100 euros. @@Tristan-mc4wm
I love Tokyo Disneyland !!! Been there twice already and i cant get over it. Foods are very good and priced reasonably, not too expensive for a theme park. Adult guests even dressed up their favorite characters it’s so awesome to see!!!!!
When I was 8, I went to Disney in Florida. While we were waiting for the fireworks, we sat on the sidewalk near some Japanese dudes. I don’t remember a thing they said, but I danced with them since they also had bubble wands. Great memory 👍🏻 Hope they’re still out there living their best lives 💕
What a nice memory , I feel some type of nostalgia when I remember people that I only saw one time but made my day fun , is weird how we never get to see that people again 😢
When I was there with my partner (she was pregnant, couldn't go on rides) I discovered a thing called the single rider line (First time at a theme park). You skip to the front of a seperate queue and when there is an odd number of people in a group 3, 5 etc. You take the spare seat. 2hr queue skipped 5min wait instead.
Was just at DisneySea a few weeks ago, and it's legit much more affordable than any US park, and just as fun (perhaps better) due to the fact that you can actually eat without taking out a small loan to do so. Oh, and I definitely recommend the chicken quarters that are served there with one of the mango drinks to go along.
@@TheAmpharosFreakOr they just don't overprice their food by outrageous amounts. The US theme parks have no reason to price a kids meal with a cheap fruit cup a bit of fries a small drink and 3 tenders at 12 dollars. Absolutely not.
@@ZippyNarwhal but if yen is weak wouldn't that make prices go up?? I'm genuinely trying to understand because I thought if money loses it's value inflation occurs.
One thing I really like about Tokyo Disney is that its waaaay cheaper than Anaheim Disney.. like half the cost and the people and staff are waaaay nicer too with shorter lines. We never bought merch in Anaheim despite having a season ticket because it was so expensive, but at Disney Tokyo we bought so much merch cause it was like 1/3 to 1/2 the cost.
@@ironqqq The staff is not way nicer, guaranteed. The staff literally train for weeks and sometimes months or years before they are even allowed to interface with the public, depending on their position. It's called Disneyland by the way. Not Disney Anehiem. Odd that you had a season ticket and didn't know it's name, especially since it was the original Disney theme park...
@@DoctorKnox I can call it DLR or Disneyland Resort and DCA, Disney California Adventures but this is not a Disney specific forum. Plus Megan just refers to it as Disneyland in title but in reality it's Disney Sea. The patrons are much nicer and more respectful at Tokyo Disney. It's so nice the staff waive and smile at you. The Japanese hospitality is extended to you which is so nice. I've been to DLR like 40 times, but I'm done with it now. It's just too expensive even with a season pass. I go to Japan about once a year and I finally went to Tokyo Disney and it was the highlight of our last trip. And it's so nice I can just take the JR to Tokyo Disney vs driving to DLR, spending a fortune parking in that giant parking structure and then riding that ridiculously slow to load smelly tram to Downtown Disney.
@@ironqqq Disney California Adventure is a park WITHIN Disneyland, it is not another name for Disneyland. Disney Sea is yet again, a park WITHIN Disney Tokyo, it is not a different resort. That would be like calling Disney World "Disney Animal Kingdom". It's not, it's Disney World, and it has the animal kingdom inside the resort. There is ONE Disneyland, ONE Disney World, ONE Disney Tokyo, ONE Disneyland Paris, etc. They are all their respective names. They can't be used interchangeably. Megan is referring to Disney Tokyo, not Disney sea, Disney Sea is just one park in the resort. I'm just saying, if you start using the names non-consistently people get confused, like you just did.
Those popcorn buckets. We had them. What you do is get it re-filled at the different popcorn stations around the the park. Here’s the thing though. Each station has different popcorn. Chocolate drizzled popcorn. Curry popcorn. Carmel popcorn.
I went last December on a whim and it was so worth it! It really wasn’t that expensive or difficult, the hardest part was psyching my self up to actually just go!! I plan on going back solo honestly. Use the browser Kayak to get the cheapest ticket and then just find capsule hotels and airbnbs nearby and just take a carry on so you can walk everywhere.
I remember my friends were complaining about the prices for the food in usj and I was being like "uuuh these are normal prices. It's the triple in the theme Parks of our country"
The soul of Disney in the US is long gone. It’s just there to take all of your money as humanly possible. Our family can’t wait to go to Disneysea in July 2026 to experience how Japan does Disney and how it compares to the US haydays of the early 2000’s of Disney parks.
Absolutely not. I went this year, and didn't have a bad experience, aside from the entitled park goers. Every cast member was a delight, I had a ton of fun, and my most memorable moments were talking to the people working there, who were just as excited about some of the stuff I had as I was! You'd think working there they'd be used to people walking through with merch, especially if it's as soulless as you describe, but now I'll be saying "Toontown gets all the best stuff" for a good while yet. I'm hoping the refurbishments are being pushed hard for Disneyland's 70th, and that when I go again, I will be able to do even more than before, TBH. And yeah, I'll probably go to Tokyo Disney, because it sounds like a good time too!
For those curious: Japan really wanted a Disneyland. Disney did not really want to build another Disneyland, that sounded like a lot of money and a lot of work. So they told Japan that, look, we’ll build you a Disneyland, but you have to pay for it, and in top of that we get a huge chunk of the profit, so Japan would say no and they wouldn’t have to do it. Japan said yes. So they built a Disneyland in Tokyo. Imagineers from Disney did most of the designing, and teaching the employees the Disney Standards. Source; The Imagineering Story, a Disney-produced docuseries I really enjoy. (It’s on Disney+, give it a watch if you’re bored and have access!)
I went here last year, the Sindbad and Jules Verne attractions were so charming! Kinda wanna go back now they have the new Frozen and Peter Pan sections.
Tokyo Disney is still under the Disney Corperation's thumb. OLC has a license agreement with the Disney Corperation to be Disney Tokyo's management company. The Disney Corperation still maintains a high degree of control over the resort. Disney has non-Disney brands and products in all of it's parks. They add those things that are popular in the areas the park resides, as long as they can get the license for cheap. As for lines... how long have you been away from the USA? because... Black Friday? Heck, a Costco opened up near me and people lined up for the grand opening 68 hours before it opened... Yeah, almost 3 days.
@@cannottea Yeah, seriously. We drove by because the Costco gas station was opened a week before the grand opening. The thing is, everybody that wanted in on opening day got in. There was NO reason to wait!!!! Yeah, I think Americans take the cake for waiting in lines. lol
I've been to Disneyland in California and Disney world in Florida (I'm not American) but when I went to Tokyo Disney I found it to be so much better. And I was so excited to see people actually being able to dress up in costumes. The food was cheaper and better, and I didn't actually mind queueing up for the rides there
When I used to live in Japan(over 10 years ago), I went to Disney land with my family so many times. I remember there was a Jungle boat Ride with very realistic looking animals and my personal favorite being that one ride with dinosaurs. Idk if these rides are still around so pls tell me if they are. There also was submarine ride That I can remember which scared the crap out of me as a child
I guess Japan having rides with nothing to do with Disney is the same thing Disney did with Pirates, Haunted mansion, Space mountain, People mover, Spaceship earth, Dinosaur (originally anyway) etc. They opened with no IP attached to them.
Funnily enough the pirates Version in Disney Land Paris, had a lot of easter egg in it, that later could be found in the Pirates of caribean films too. For example the szene with the dog in the prison
My friends in Tokyo where sooooo excited to take me there... They really were curious what i thought of it. Id never been to any Disneyland so I just was politely enthusiastic😊
TokyoDisney and DisneySea are my favorite Disney parks. I have never experienced anything better than that. Fantasy Springs is gorgeous! I just took my light up Rapunzel popcorn bucket to Disneyland California and everyone was so jealous of it because we don’t have things that cute in America
Disney Japan is one of my favorite places! I don't think I've ever ridden any of the rides. I visit Japan every other year with friends because we have a group of friends there we visit, and Disney Japan is a place I love to visit for the aesthetic, the food, and the really fun interactions I've had there. Truly, such a wonderful place!
The popcorn buckets are perfect though because they’re unique at each spot and some are limited. Plus you get cheap refills for popcorn. IMO w all the waiting the popcorn buckets are the perfect souvenir.
i love your shorts more than any content out there which may seem like an overreaction. but it has created a love and longing to visit and possibly live in Japan, simply because your videos are such a helpful insight to what issues i’ll have and especially all the glories it has to behold. i hope you live long and happily wherever you move next and hope to follow in your footsteps of world exploration in the future! i appreciate your content so dearly, thank you for being so pleasantly you!! ^+^
Just a little fun fact: The app used for ordering the tickets (klook) was designed by one of my teachers old students and klook was actually originally a school project! (According to my teacher)
I remember going to Japan for the first time when I was 8, and it’s one of my favorite memories. We also went to Tokyo Japan and I got one of the popcorn buckets. I got the Cinderella one and still have it to this day.
Just got done with 4 days at Tokyo Disney (as part of a 2 week Japan trip)! It is so cute and so fun. The only thing I’ll say is the bit about “not all the rides have to do with Disney” USED to be true in the US as well, and it was so nice. Gave us things like Small World and Journey Into Imagination, which we now think of as “Disney” simply because they were original things that have been around for so long.
I was there this year and our Disney package was many many pages of perforated paper tickets for everything. Entry, a few rides per day, food, beverage, gifts, etc.

When I used to live in Japan(over 10 years ago), I went to Disney land with my family so many times.
I remember there was a Jungle boat Ride with very realistic looking animals and my personal favorite being that one ride with dinosaurs.
Idk if these rides are still around so pls tell me if they are.
There also was submarine ride That I can remember which scared the crap out of me as a child
My dyslexia butt thought that said “ Dis eh in Japan played Not Like Us” 😭🙏
I guess Japan having rides with nothing to do with Disney is the same thing Disney did with Pirates, Haunted mansion, Space mountain, People mover, Spaceship earth, Dinosaur (originally anyway) etc. They opened with no IP attached to them.
Funnily enough the pirates Version in Disney Land Paris, had a lot of easter egg in it, that later could be found in the Pirates of caribean films too. For example the szene with the dog in the prison
@@pilgerfuchs219 yeah they lifted a lot of aspects from the ride when making the movie
They have splash mountain which is awsome
Not actually owned by Disney?
Then it might actually be REALLY GOOD...🙄
Nice ad for that app ... many people don't even realise they watched an ad and that's perfection ❤.. bravo
So cute ❤❤❤❤
Those soft buns yum! and light up box. Gorgeous
Tokyo Disneyland is way BETTER than the US versions
Smooth ad roll.
They do Walt Disney better there than Disney does here.
Okay but why is the food so cute ☺️
I got the Winnie Puuh popcorn bucket. It is cute.
That big Ben bucket is SO COOL!! I want one 😢 😭
Around $30 bucks for two to three meals (including snacks here). Sign me up.😁
We're going to be there in 2 weeks!!! You're doing all the things that we are planning to do!!!!
She’s pretty 🤩
I’m actually going to Disney Japan pretty soon so I’m really excited
Tokyo Disneyland was awesome. The food is affordable and looks exactly as advertised. The rides are well maintained too
My friends in Tokyo where sooooo excited to take me there...
They really were curious what i thought of it. Id never been to any Disneyland so I just was politely enthusiastic😊
TokyoDisney and DisneySea are my favorite Disney parks. I have never experienced anything better than that. Fantasy Springs is gorgeous! I just took my light up Rapunzel popcorn bucket to Disneyland California and everyone was so jealous of it because we don’t have things that cute in America
omg you shoulve tried the curry popcorn I had to top up so many times since it was so good
“Disney Adults” is such a polite way of calling those people 😂
I love watching your videos!! You seem like such a fun person to be around ❤️❤️
Disney adults is the weirdest lamest thing ive ever heard.
Disney Japan is one of my favorite places! I don't think I've ever ridden any of the rides. I visit Japan every other year with friends because we have a group of friends there we visit, and Disney Japan is a place I love to visit for the aesthetic, the food, and the really fun interactions I've had there. Truly, such a wonderful place!
That is a Disney park not owned by Disney, that has to be illegal
The popcorn buckets are perfect though because they’re unique at each spot and some are limited. Plus you get cheap refills for popcorn. IMO w all the waiting the popcorn buckets are the perfect souvenir.
i love your shorts more than any content out there which may seem like an overreaction. but it has created a love and longing to visit and possibly live in Japan, simply because your videos are such a helpful insight to what issues i’ll have and especially all the glories it has to behold.
i hope you live long and happily wherever you move next and hope to follow in your footsteps of world exploration in the future! i appreciate your content so dearly, thank you for being so pleasantly you!! ^+^
As someone who plans to go to Disneyland Japan next year, this was very helpful! :)
Btw they don’t really do physical tickets at any disney parks anywhere anymore
Loved it and cannot wait to go back!
This is why i love Japan. Everyone is fun and pocket size
i love your videos i really really do
As a full grown male adult 33, i absolutely loved the beauty and the beast ride. It was incredible, i did that today and it was genuinely magical.
That light was cute!
having actually affordable snacks is a big plus for a theme park
I would buy alot of the fun trinkets that the food or drink comes in . I'm a Big KID at heart ❤🤭
Omg! Sindbad!! I used to love that show as a kid
Omg not the light up popcorn bucket THAT IS SO COOL
Just a little fun fact: The app used for ordering the tickets (klook) was designed by one of my teachers old students and klook was actually originally a school project! (According to my teacher)
Disney Tokyo also has the OG splash mountain
I remember going to Japan for the first time when I was 8, and it’s one of my favorite memories. We also went to Tokyo Japan and I got one of the popcorn buckets. I got the Cinderella one and still have it to this day.
I have to get that popcorn bucket, I'm a sucker for anything that lights up and clocks. 😂❤❤
Just got done with 4 days at Tokyo Disney (as part of a 2 week Japan trip)! It is so cute and so fun. The only thing I’ll say is the bit about “not all the rides have to do with Disney” USED to be true in the US as well, and it was so nice. Gave us things like Small World and Journey Into Imagination, which we now think of as “Disney” simply because they were original things that have been around for so long.
Their Mike melon bun was so good. 🤩
I need to go back to disney land it felt so magical when i went as a child ❤❤❤
WHY IS THAT POPCORN BUCKET SO CUTE I WOULD KEEP THAT FOREVER
I buy a ton of Disney Tokyo pins and collectors stuff online, it’s always way cheaper and they make great gifts for throughout the year
I was there this year and our Disney package was many many pages of perforated paper tickets for everything. Entry, a few rides per day, food, beverage, gifts, etc.
I’d love to see a full Vlog on Disneyland in Japan!
That popcorn bucket/lantern is cute AF.
I love love love Tokyo Disney Sea. Imo it's some of the best work the imagineers have ever done.
I was there in April. Magical ❤
She has to be one of the prettiest people ever born
This talk about japan, makes me want japanese food!!!😂😂😂😊😢 All of that food looks soooo good. I actually never been to Disneyland in America either!!😢
