Absolutely Incredible Magical Disney Experience!

[minnie mum]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed your visit to TDL and TDS. Sounds like your experience was very similar to ours. But if you think that the way the girls and boys (teens/young adults) dressed was unusual, you should see what it's like at Halloween! In the days just before Halloween everyone was allowed into the parks in full costume (no hard ticket Halloween parties in Tokyo). And these costumes were incredibly elaborate. I'm sure many of them cost over a thousand dollars and were professionally made. Lost track of the number of Minnie Mouses (Mice??), Alices and Peter Pans that we saw.

There's no doubt in my mind that the Japanese parks are the best in the world. I just wish it didn't cost me several mortgage payments just to get there!

I always hear how amazing the Japanese parks are. I'm a little jelly.

What a great video! Sounds like a fantastic trip, thank you for sharing it with us. Americans could really learn a thing or two from the east, that's for sure!

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Yes, I'm in USA. I'll try accessing it from my computer and see if that works any better.

I am afraid that after this experience that I must whole heartedly agree with your statement. My mind is completely blown. WDW is a beautiful enormous property BUT TokyoDisney blows WDW out of the water and to the moon as far as cleanliness, maintenance and service are concerned by a long shot..not to mention uniqueness in so many ways. Glad I did it..it'll never happen again.

I just had another friend tell me she couldn't access it either but others have no problem. I have no idea whats going on but its worth a view if you can manage.

I don't know why that sometimes happens. People have viewed it from all around the world. Try again from another location. It may have to do with the computer you are on..I have no idea..sorry.

I'm in the U.S. and just watched it with no problem. Very nice work on the video Tim, add me to the list of "jealous" Dis-ers. Thanks for sharing your terrific experience. Did you buy any merch? I can imagine the quality and variety must be extraordinary (and expensive!)

 

[Planogirl]

It comes up for me and I'm glad because it's great! Thanks for sharing.

It all looks so amazing. I did note that one of the resorts looks almost exactly like Universal's Portofino. I love that style so that's fine with me!

Thank you. i am so happy to share my silly little films with nice people who share the same interests. Actually Tokyo Disney Resort was about 30% cheaper in every aspect compared to WDW where they squeeze you big time. In TokyoResort the only thing that was expensive were the two onsite hotels I stayed at…but heh the Poly and the Contemp are in that range too!!! But as far as food, merchandise, drinks,park tickets, transport etc….less than Florida if you can believe it. And the quality is no match from service to cleanliness its the gem of Disney Parks.

thank you for sharing!!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing!! We love Tokyo Disney. The thing besides the great Disney parks, detail and cleanliness that come to mind is the people!!! No screaming children, politely waiting in lines, eating what was served! And I did not see one person throw down trash and expect someone else to pick it up! Would go to TDL again in a heartbeat!!! Great video!!!

 

[AliceandAriel]

Absolutely wow-worthy right there. Thank you so much for sharing!

And IOA reminds me of Disney Sea. Like you, it's fine with me!


That amenities tray in the bathroom. Dying here. And is that your info packet in the first shot? I love nice packets of info!

What a great trip report! We almost made it to TokyoDisney this summer but the trip fell through. We thoroughly enjoyed Hong Kong Disney though. Mystic Manor should be held up as an example of what a new ride should encompass.

I agree! My second trip this January was not crowded, and we didn't see any line cutting or pushing - except the brief period of running at rope drop, gotta get out of the way! LOL! Our first trip on March 2013 it was much more crowded, but still the lines were pretty orderly. Every place you looked it was spotless at all times. We did encounter a number of Americans, many from nearby military bases, and one nice family from Australia. I hope to get to go back someday.

Absolutely cool.

I totally agree with you on the service--I've never been to Japan, but I was in Epcot last night for some Flower and Garden snacks and the girl that gave me my Frushi was seriously the nicest person ever...like you said, two hands on the plate, little bow after...I only wish that kind of respect and gentleness was a little more present in our American culture, especially after going to WDW so many times and seeing people almost fight over dresses and the old Fastpasses!
