Disney doesn't own the majority of the parks in Japan. Japan seems to really care about their parks and the cities. Sadly the United States and Disney don't seem to care about things the way Japan does. The people are so respectful over there as caompared to here. I love your videos and you 2 make me smile watching them. I hope to run into you both someday. Until then I will always keep watching.
Japan does everything better regarding packaging and presentation. For example, in my grocery store's international food section, even just plain noodles are trimmed and perfectly aligned in the package and wrapped in portions with paper bands.
@@BernardManansalayou are correct it’s a licensing agreement with OLC. The resort is not owned by Disney. I was a cast member at Disney and it’s the park we cannot get into free because it’s not owned by the Walt Disney Company
Imagineering still creates the Disney parks in Japan, but yeah OLC does a better job of maintaining it all and I think the Japanese crowds are more considerate and less destructive and also all the rides have sponsors to pay for upgrades and maintenance
@@OrdinaryAdventuresWhen you watch the ‘Behind The Attractions’ shows, the Imagineers flat out say that the Asian parks (specifically Japan) the OLC said to build the attractions like they would have wanted to if there was an unlimited budget. So they did!
Maybe it's just me but it seems like so many more movies and characters are represented here. I loved the parade especially seeing the Princesses and Princes walking!
Kitra-san, Peter-san: Very happy you had a wonderful time in my homeland. Please come back soon. There are so many more Ordinary Adventures await you in Japan. Arigato gozaimasu. xoxo
I really appreciate these videos. Im a stage 4 cancer patient and realistically i know ill never get to do something like this, so you guys providing me with video to see you guys do it means SO much to me...thank you guys
This makes me feel so good. To know that someone, somewhere, truly cares about preserving the magical experience that was Disneyland. In 10 years I’ll take my daughter, once she’s old enough to appreciate it. Until then she can put up with the ever declining Disney experiences that we have stateside. The Disney company need to be better stewards of what was left to them, for their sake and ours.
So much fun! It's really interesting how the international parks randomly alternate between English and their native language! It's also interesting how Tokyo has the earlier version of things that had been changed in the US parks. Oh, BTW- WDW never had Stitch in the Enchanted Tiki Room, they actually had a version called "Under New Management" which featured Zazu from The Lion King and Iago from Aladdin. I worked there for a bit as a CM about 20 years ago. It got a lot of flack, but I always thought it was fun- it was the first version of the show that I saw. I never got around to going to Disneyland's Tiki Room as a kid. Stitch actually makes more sense with the tropical theme though! Under New Management was there for many years...they finally switched it back to a version of the original show several years ago after one of the Iago audio-animatronics caught on fire.
Japan really keeps the magic of Disney alive! The dream Walt Disney had in his heart for Disneyland expanded so far, I don’t know if he ever dreamed his parks would be all across the world, but Japan truly keeps the magic of Disney alive and you captured it so beautifully! ❤
Those luggage tags. Would make a really nice Christmas present tags. Something that the person would get to keep forever not only the present but also the tag. An aunt gave me a little elf on my present instead of a bow. something like 55 years later I still have that elf.
That Haunted Mansion Holiday is so cool!!! Seeing so much more of Sally was so neat. And the parade was amazing!! Thanks so much for always taking us on your adventures. I'm going to be sad when the Tokyo content finishes, but I'm also excited to see what's next! :D
Peter and Kitra you are the best! Ordinary Adventures is the best channel on TH-cam! You make life so fun and our whole family loves all of your videos. I have been so inspired by your Japan videos that I bought airfare yesterday for us to go to Japan in 6 months and I can't wait. We might be crazy doing it right after they open Fantasy Springs, but life is short. Happy Holidays! Thank you for spreading so much joy!
Have so much fun at Walt Disney World. I think you’ll find Magic Kingdom is very similar to Tokyo Disneyland but not as amazing. The rest of the parks are very different though
Been loving your tokyo disneyland coverage guys! As a huge Stitch fan tho, i would be crying if i got the chance to see Stitch's tiki room. The songs from the movies and show are my everything.
I really WISH that original Disneyland could really expand I love the nostalgic of our parks here in Cali just wish. But I live thru u guys bring us sooo much content n joy.❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed Tokyo Disneyland! I’m from Japan and always watch Disney TH-camrs for the American parks, so it’s crazy to see ya’ll here ❤ the 40th anniversary is so magical, and the parade is my absolute favourite! Mickey’s costume is to die for!! Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already but the words they keep singing in the chorus of the main song for the parade (NANAIRO) means rainbow in Japanese 🌈 “na-na-na-na-na-nairo, we’ll be living in colour” ❤ come again soon and thank you again for loving on Tokyo Disney!
I was surprised that the parade made me smile and tear up for some reason- I think I was just amazed by wide variety of Disney characters it displayed and I loved the songs…if you guys are still in Hawaii, eat at Curry House Coco Ichibanya 😉 my favorites are katsu curry and curry udon~
I mean, is a Mickey Waffle ever not a 5 out of 5? But that one sounds extra wonderful! Tokyo Disney still looks amazing and I forever want videos from there. You will have to go annually now! 😂😂😂 but seriously, thanks for sharing!
Note the TDL Train is like that because in Japan if you have a train with more than one station it is considered an actual transportation train and they must charge the guest. Same reason why you have to pay for the monorail at the resort.
Your footage from the Mark Twain was so beautiful Peter. I cant believe how clean and nice the animatronics and costumes are. Both at wdw are looking worn and tattered. Belles dress in Festival of Fantasy Parade today looked really bad. After seeing these 2 beautiful parks you will really notice how downhill wdw has become next time you are here. Im just grateful I got to enjoy Disneyland in the 70s and 80s...their golden yrs 💛 and im happy you got to visit Tokyo Disneyland 🥰
Yay! Great timing! Needed something to watch with lunch today. I have to be eating to watch because you always make me so hungry! 😂❤ So glad you had such a wonderful time! I'm having a hard time not looking for all the merch on ebay. 😂 -western NY Aimee
21:20 There used to be a law in Japan where any railway with more than 1 stop had to follow regulations like collecting a fare or having the train cars enclosed. To avoid having to follow regulations it was made with only one stop. That's also the reason why the monorail in tokyo disney collects a fare as it has multiple stops.
The best curry in Southern California is from Coco Ichibanya and I’d always go to the one in Irvine! The chicken katsu curry with veggies and the CHEESE. Omg.
It was a simple mantra when I worked at WDW in the late nineties, exceed guest expectations. Ensure every guest had an excellent experience. Those core values permeated the resort. It is clear that is still the goal in Tokyo. Food prices were more aligned with much higher quality. As a cast member making $7.80 and hour, I could afford to eat in the parks. That would not be possible today even with a cast member discount.
Just loving the vlog series, I love that have more shows, and you can still enjoy it, even though the different language. Then they definitely need bring some enlightenment to CA.
Yeah even though it’s in a different language most of the storytelling is so visual that you don’t feel left on the dark. I felt like I understood 95% of what was going on
You guys, I have been enjoying the HECK out of these Japan Disney videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures--wish I could give you a thousand likes!!
When my wife and I went to the Tiki room a castmember gave us a translator device that translated the show in real time, made the whole experience more enjoyable. For anyone going, see if they still provide those
👍 I’ve since heard that. That’s a good tip. Honestly for me, I’d rather just be looking up at the animatronics than down at a device. I don’t know much Japanese but felt like I understood everything going on.
When they were building Tokyo Disneyland back in the 80s, the Oriental Land Company excutives basically went on a shopping trip to the American parks, picking the best attractions, and the best versions, for their park. Hence why the Haunted Mansion is like a mix of both American versions. Also, the railroad doesn't have multiple stations because Japanese regulation would dictate they have to charge a separate feet for it. To avoid that they just made it a ride with a single station.
The parrots with the little stitch ears 😭💕 I *LOVE* Stitch so seeing all the stitch themed attractions would be a dream for me! They don’t seem to do much with him in America sadly. They got rid of a lot of stitch themed attractions in America Disney.
I'll be the first to say it. ~ Almost totally worth the trip to this park just to hear Big Al sing "Buh-Ludd Awwn Tha Saddle" again! ^ _ ^ Good lord the throwback belly laughs! But also, no surprise personally that the tonkatsu curry there gets five stars. Really, even the most standard tenderized pork cutlet smothered in a good curry sauce found in Japan I'm sure will put so many other imported versions to shame. And that's just some worldly Pomeranian logic there, folks.
If I ever for some reason get a chance to travel to Japan I will have a great reference guide for Disney. But since I doubt that will ever happen these vlogs and the details shared have been so cool to watch. Thanks for taking us on the adventure, it’s been anything but ordinary!
TDLR is well maintained because honor in who you are and what you do is very important to the Japanese way of life. I first noticed this when I went to a McDonalds in Tokyo. By far they have the best McDonalds (food and service top notch).
Your videos always cheer me up! Also with the Tiki Room, the Stitch version is exclusive to Tokyo, MK had a version with Zazu and hosted by Iago which was awful and burned down.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but Stitch’s Tiki Room, is a Japanese exclusive. It was never available in the US. What you are thinking of is the “Under New Management” version with Zazu and Iago. It made a lot more sense because they were both birds, but I could see how the pair might be annoying. It was also modernized with newer songs. What a lot of people don’t know is that Stitch actually had his own animé series. Apparently when Lilo grew up, Stitch decided to leave Hawaii and live with some other island girl, only this was a Japanese island. And for some reason, all the aliens followed him. One episode, the girl ends up going to Disneyland. Stitch was suppose to go with her, but missed his flight. He runs back home, and steals a ship that Jumba was still working on. He ends up crashing right into the Tiki Room, and somehow gets paint on him, tracking it all over the kingdom, which is why you see both the crashed ship and the paint buckets.
I just recently found out that the Japanese love putting corn in pizza. Personally as an Iowan corn is sacred and to me it does not belong in anything. Just cook it and add some butter and salt before eating. It is really sad that the old Toontown in Disneyland is no more, but it still being around in Tokyo makes me very happy. Plus it's in such great condition!
Corn on pizza is a big Japanese thing and I honestly love it! My favorite was the mayo corn pizza at Gusto (or Ga-su-to if you translate the Japanese phonetically) ((also it’s Japanese mayo which makes a big difference - I would not eat a pizza with American mayo 😂). Oh my god, all of the dancers’ costumes in the parade were gorgeous!! New dream job unlocked: dancer at Tokyo Disney 😂 that curry looks amazing!!! Y’all have really re-inspired my desire to go back to Japan and then save up the extra money to go to Disney. Thank you so much again for sharing your journey with us! It’s been so special. P.S. Omg the shot of the train from the boat was so gorgeous 😍😭
Here is hoping that when you return to Dineyland that you dont find yourself getting disappointed in all of the wonderful new changes you found in Japannot being in your home parks. These were amazing videos. Thanks so much for taking us along with you.
So curious about this version of the Mickey waffle cuz I gotta tell you - I just had the best waffle ever at Trattoria al Forno at WDW. I cannot wait to go back. And that sausage. Wow! Addicted!
@@OrdinaryAdventures I read that Disney uses 3 or 4 mixes and sometimes resorts combine them so it may just be right place, right time that day. Anyway, sounds scrumptious!
I'm doing what I said I should have done last video, commenting as I go. I've had a very busy stressful day at work today (Intel), was so excited to see a video of yours. Back to the video. Kitra, you don't need a stylist, your style is on point! Their Toon Town was amazing! I remember when you weren't a ears girls, glad you're on board now.. Love the new ears. Oh my goodness, an Up float, and Moana, Tangled, and Coco!! Toooooo freaking cute. Come on Disneyland, lets do this! I love the customized luggage tags, I want some please. Love the ending song! Oh and the whole video! Thanks for sharing!
FYI you can easily find House Foods brand curry at Asian markets here in the US. I'm not sure if it's the exact same recipe as what you can find at Tokyo Disneyland but I imagine it will be very similar.
@@OrdinaryAdventures I've never had Tokyo Disneyland's curry (someday!) so I'm not sure, but the Vermont Curry they have is one of my favorites for make-at-home curry. Also, House Foods owns the Coco Ichibanya curry restaurant chain and I know they have a few locations in SoCal (and Hawaii, as another commenter said) so you can compare.
It's ok, we all miss Splash Mountain. I'm still not happy its getting a make over. Hoping some of the animatronics are still kept at least. Least the American Sings animatronics, but glad you guys got to experience the ride again. < 3
Cool that the day was clear enough to see Mt. Fuji. There’s a photo of Space Mt. with Mt. Fuji behind it. It’s great because they’re the same shape! It’s probably online somewhere.
You need to go to Disneyland Paris, best thunder mountain, then Disneyland. We are going to Tokyo in May and sad that their Thunder Mountain will be closed but glad that you said not better than Disneyland. You’ve shared so much that we haven’t seen before on other vloggers. We appreciate you!
I've watched all of your Tokyo Disney vids and some about Hong Kong Disneyland, and I'm impressed. I'm hoping that the comparison (pseudo-competition) will allow and encourage Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at WDW to realize they need to make things better. I know I'm never going to get that far out, not just from budgetary concerns, but because I'd really want to speak the language in order to hear everything going on. Also, there's so much at the domestic Disney parks that I have not seen, especially to which I haven't take my kids and grandkids. Which brings me to another point. I really enjoyed watching your Japan series, but I've also been watching a few of your older videos, mainly because I realize that I also enjoy watching your reactions, that you are fun and entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work.
Peter and Kitra FYI-you can buy House brand curry here in the USA at Asian markets to make curry stew, it’s SO easy to make if you make it in an Instant Pot and follow Just One Cookbooks recipe.
What does it take to get you two to review Disneyland Paris for us?! I would donate to a fundraiser for that trip for sure!!! ❤️ Thank you for taking me to a park I’ll probably never get to go to myself.
Love, love, love it! I told my mom we need to go, and she said when we win the lottery 😂 But in all seriousness, I’m going to start putting money aside for a trip to Japan and to visit Tokyo Disney while we are there.

I get a sense that the Oriental Land Company just pays a licensing fee to use Disney IPs and they just do their own things.
Japan does everything better regarding packaging and presentation. For example, in my grocery store's international food section, even just plain noodles are trimmed and perfectly aligned in the package and wrapped in portions with paper bands.

My favorite piece of Disney trivia is that Steve Martin worked in the magic shop at Disneyland. It always makes me smile. I ❤ Steve Martin.
Love that
Know one does Disney like Ordinary Adventures, Kitra and Peter! Your sincere enthusiasm is magical, thank you! Sue
🙌 thank you so much

The Big Hero 6 / San Fransokyo float was EPIC!!
🙌 loved it
That parade! Wow wow WOW!!
It was incredible and that song is still stuck in our heads
The milk for things like ice cream, whipped cream, butter etc. is what makes things better in Japan. Their milk from Hokkaido is truly AMAZING!
Good point
Been loving your tokyo disneyland coverage guys! As a huge Stitch fan tho, i would be crying if i got the chance to see Stitch's tiki room. The songs from the movies and show are my everything.
It was interesting and fun but just not as good as the original. I wish stitch was more a part of it
I really WISH that original Disneyland could really expand I love the nostalgic of our parks here in Cali just wish. But I live thru u guys bring us sooo much content n joy.❤
Someday they will

Tokyo Disney still looks amazing and I forever want videos from there. You will have to go annually now! 😂😂😂 but seriously, thanks for sharing!
Haha I guess that’s true but this was better than the ones in the states. Not sure why. Maybe because it was so freshly made?
The mickey waffles at storytellers Cafe are like a 3
Thank you for showing so much of that gorgeous parade! I have to admit hearing all those great songs made me tear up.
Glad you enjoyed it

When my wife and I went to the Tiki room a castmember gave us a translator device that translated the show in real time, made the whole experience more enjoyable. For anyone going, see if they still provide those
👍 I’ve since heard that. That’s a good tip. Honestly for me, I’d rather just be looking up at the animatronics than down at a device. I don’t know much Japanese but felt like I understood everything going on.
Another great video! Thank you! I feel like if disney parks in the states did just a fraction of what Tokyo does it would blow people minds!
Agreed
Daisy doing that body roll in that Club Mickey scene was everything *chefs kiss*
💃
After watching your vdos on Tokyo Disney, hubby and I decided to celebrate our 20th there in 2 yrs. Yay!
Yay have fun!

Our pleasure!
The parrots with the little stitch ears 😭💕
I *LOVE* Stitch so seeing all the stitch themed attractions would be a dream for me! They don’t seem to do much with him in America sadly. They got rid of a lot of stitch themed attractions in America Disney.
The Japanese and Hawaiians love stitch
Love, love, love all of this❤ Thanks for putting such great care into your videos😊 You make us feel that we are apart of your adventures 🎉
You are so welcome!
Loooool I’m dying at daddy oh daddy! Did y’all ever figure out what that is?! 😂

The luggage tags are so cute!!! Wish we saw them when we were there!
Such a cool Souvenir
Your videos always cheer me up! Also with the Tiki Room, the Stitch version is exclusive to Tokyo, MK had a version with Zazu and hosted by Iago which was awful and burned down.
Oh that’s what I was thinking of!
y'all are really the experts... there have been so many things you've done at the parks I had no idea existed!

I’m always amused by what is done in Japanese or English!
It’s interesting. I don’t know the reason they choose which
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I really enjoyed the mouse club show. Great job illustrating an editing this video.😊
Thanks Emily!
@@OrdinaryAdventures U welcome! 🤗
Not sure if it was mentioned, but Stitch’s Tiki Room, is a Japanese exclusive. It was never available in the US. What you are thinking of is the “Under New Management” version with Zazu and Iago. It made a lot more sense because they were both birds, but I could see how the pair might be annoying. It was also modernized with newer songs.
What a lot of people don’t know is that Stitch actually had his own animé series. Apparently when Lilo grew up, Stitch decided to leave Hawaii and live with some other island girl, only this was a Japanese island. And for some reason, all the aliens followed him. One episode, the girl ends up going to Disneyland. Stitch was suppose to go with her, but missed his flight. He runs back home, and steals a ship that Jumba was still working on. He ends up crashing right into the Tiki Room, and somehow gets paint on him, tracking it all over the kingdom, which is why you see both the crashed ship and the paint buckets.
Had no idea
I just recently found out that the Japanese love putting corn in pizza. Personally as an Iowan corn is sacred and to me it does not belong in anything. Just cook it and add some butter and salt before eating. It is really sad that the old Toontown in Disneyland is no more, but it still being around in Tokyo makes me very happy. Plus it's in such great condition!
Interesting. Has no idea about the corn
Corn on pizza is a big Japanese thing and I honestly love it! My favorite was the mayo corn pizza at Gusto (or Ga-su-to if you translate the Japanese phonetically) ((also it’s Japanese mayo which makes a big difference - I would not eat a pizza with American mayo 😂). Oh my god, all of the dancers’ costumes in the parade were gorgeous!! New dream job unlocked: dancer at Tokyo Disney 😂 that curry looks amazing!!! Y’all have really re-inspired my desire to go back to Japan and then save up the extra money to go to Disney. Thank you so much again for sharing your journey with us! It’s been so special. P.S. Omg the shot of the train from the boat was so gorgeous 😍😭
Thanks so much Paige
15:48 it looked like Tweedle Dee recognized you from your videos
🤔
So wonderful how everything is in such great repair! I remember when Disneyland used to be like that- sigh...
💯
AND that Nightmare Before Christmas ride looked so incredible!
So good!!
Just a magical place
🙌
You gotta go to Paris Disneyland one day. I will be “With you” along for the ride 😊
Maybe one day!
This channel always makes me happy. I got a job rejection and had a 9 am doctors appointment and I’m still applying for more things
You’ll find something!
Here is hoping that when you return to Dineyland that you dont find yourself getting disappointed in all of the wonderful new changes you found in Japannot being in your home parks. These were amazing videos. Thanks so much for taking us along with you.
Haha I don’t think I can be disappointed in Disneyland but Japan is a whole nother level
So curious about this version of the Mickey waffle cuz I gotta tell you - I just had the best waffle ever at Trattoria al Forno at WDW. I cannot wait to go back. And that sausage. Wow! Addicted!
I can’t explain why it was so much better but it was. Maybe because it was so freshly made?
@@OrdinaryAdventures I read that Disney uses 3 or 4 mixes and sometimes resorts combine them so it may just be right place, right time that day. Anyway, sounds scrumptious!
3:33 Wow the Force is strong with this one. Imagine them doing this in Star Wars. It would be overpowered!
I’d love to see that
I'm doing what I said I should have done last video, commenting as I go. I've had a very busy stressful day at work today (Intel), was so excited to see a video of yours. Back to the video. Kitra, you don't need a stylist, your style is on point! Their Toon Town was amazing! I remember when you weren't a ears girls, glad you're on board now.. Love the new ears. Oh my goodness, an Up float, and Moana, Tangled, and Coco!! Toooooo freaking cute. Come on Disneyland, lets do this! I love the customized luggage tags, I want some please. Love the ending song! Oh and the whole video! Thanks for sharing!
The luggage tags are such a cool gift
FYI you can easily find House Foods brand curry at Asian markets here in the US. I'm not sure if it's the exact same recipe as what you can find at Tokyo Disneyland but I imagine it will be very similar.
Will have to check it out. Wonder if it’s the same.
@@OrdinaryAdventures I've never had Tokyo Disneyland's curry (someday!) so I'm not sure, but the Vermont Curry they have is one of my favorites for make-at-home curry. Also, House Foods owns the Coco Ichibanya curry restaurant chain and I know they have a few locations in SoCal (and Hawaii, as another commenter said) so you can compare.
Can't beat Ramune flavor ice cream when in Japan!
Don’t think we tried that
It's ok, we all miss Splash Mountain. I'm still not happy its getting a make over. Hoping some of the animatronics are still kept at least. Least the American Sings animatronics, but glad you guys got to experience the ride again. < 3
I hope the new splash mountain is using the cosmic rewind ride system
@@OrdinaryAdventures Oh that would be cool actually. I could see it
Cool that the day was clear enough to see Mt. Fuji. There’s a photo of Space Mt. with Mt. Fuji behind it. It’s great because they’re the same shape! It’s probably online somewhere.
The just be one cool photo
So much fun in one video. Great adventure as always 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks V!
always the best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks
Thanks for sharing some Disney magic with me.
Our pleasure!
That parade is amazing 🤯
Agreed! So good!
You need to go to Disneyland Paris, best thunder mountain, then Disneyland. We are going to Tokyo in May and sad that their Thunder Mountain will be closed but glad that you said not better than Disneyland.
You’ve shared so much that we haven’t seen before on other vloggers. We appreciate you!
We want to go to Paris! Maybe in 2024?
I've watched all of your Tokyo Disney vids and some about Hong Kong Disneyland, and I'm impressed. I'm hoping that the comparison (pseudo-competition) will allow and encourage Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at WDW to realize they need to make things better. I know I'm never going to get that far out, not just from budgetary concerns, but because I'd really want to speak the language in order to hear everything going on. Also, there's so much at the domestic Disney parks that I have not seen, especially to which I haven't take my kids and grandkids.
Which brings me to another point. I really enjoyed watching your Japan series, but I've also been watching a few of your older videos, mainly because I realize that I also enjoy watching your reactions, that you are fun and entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work.
We want to go to Hong Kong. Maybe next year
Peter and Kitra FYI-you can buy House brand curry here in the USA at Asian markets to make curry stew, it’s SO easy to make if you make it in an Instant Pot and follow Just One Cookbooks recipe.
We’ll have to look into that and see if it’s the same recipe
This is all so amazing! Can’t wait to go to Japan now!
Thanks Hannah. I hope you get there, it’s an amazing place
@@OrdinaryAdventures hoping to go for our honeymoon in October!!!
What does it take to get you two to review Disneyland Paris for us?! I would donate to a fundraiser for that trip for sure!!! ❤️ Thank you for taking me to a park I’ll probably never get to go to myself.
We want to go there badly but might be getting to the Asian parks before then. Hopefully next year 🤞
Love, love, love it! I told my mom we need to go, and she said when we win the lottery 😂 But in all seriousness, I’m going to start putting money aside for a trip to Japan and to visit Tokyo Disney while we are there.
You’d be surprised. With the right plane deal you can do a trip to Tokyo Disneyland for cheaper than you could do a trip to Walt Disney world.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome video!
🙏
