I Tried the Japanese Vacation Package at Tokyo Disneyland 🇯🇵

It’s the day before Fantasy Springs’ grand opening, and I’m at Tokyo Disneyland! This is part one of a two-part grand opening series!

I am using a Japanese vacation package for the first time and would like to share my experience with you! I bought the 2-day/1-night package at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.

The main reason for the Vacation Package is to get the “1-Day Passport Fantasy Springs Magic,” which guarantees entry into Fantasy Springs and unlimited rides on all the attractions inside the new area.

In part two, I’ll explain how this ticket works. But first, let’s spend a day at Tokyo Disneyland and look around the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.

Hi, 👋🏽 My name is Chris, aka TDRExplorer, and I started sharing my theme park adventures. Over the years, TDRExplorer has become a resource for passionate theme park fans looking to make the best of their trips to Asia. Including Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan!

one of the last times I ride the Space Mountain this one does not have English on it it does save you a lot of hassle it really does come and spend the day with me explorers here at Tokyo Disneyland the day before Fantasy Springs opens at Tokyo Disney C it’s a beautiful sunny day today we’re just you spending you know a very casual day at Tokyo Disneyland I’m actually on a Japanese vacation package that’s what I got um so I can get the special magic day ticket for Fantasy Springs tomorrow so I will have a video on that but but for today we’re at Disneyland and um just for context a Japanese vacation package is a little different from the English ones so to book a Japanese one you have to have a Japanese address and a Japanese Disney account um you know just just for your information it’s 12:30 and for the vacation package we picked the seating area for Harmony and color so we’re going to sit down and uh watch Harmony and color is the line to get into the vacation package area so we’re going to be sitting right here I’ve never actually done this before so see how the vantage point is our seats are right here 13 and 15 not too shabby this a look at our vacation package like I mentioned this is the Japanese one so if you do the one in English all the stuff will be printed in English this is the only one available that I could find for Fantasy Springs with the Fantasy Springs tickets so that’s why I booked this one so they have like the different attraction tickets so we’re doing be and the Beast after along the Space Mountain we get to pick up our shoulder bag later and our original merchandise popcorn holder all that I’m looking forward to it I do have a video that I did the vacation package in English like an English version one so you can watch it once you’re done watching this because I go through the basics of how to get a booking and how it all works exactly and I show you everything so yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] my life [Applause] we just around [Music] [Applause] [Music] just for foree [Music] Chas [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I’ve never actually watched a show from that vacation package area before I’m a fan so now we have our ticket for Beauty and the Beast so we get to use the Priority Access line for that and then right after we’re doing Space Mountain so let’s go to that so be and the Beast is currently at a 75 minute wait time or we’re not doing that we’re doing the party access entrance with our tickets right here so this line is for Disney PR access and vacation package regular line is on the left so you kind of skip a lot of the queue on the inside which I think you should do at least once the regular queue so you can see the inside cuz it’s really well done [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] those [Music] [Music] foree foree [Applause] [Music] I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of beating in the Beast that ride is just so good I can’t believe I I can’t believe it’s been 4 years that ride’s been open for 4 years now so we waited maybe about 10 minutes through the Priority Access line so I don’t think that was very long at all and we met this lovely family from Australia they were right beside us and uh they were telling me that they watched our what to do within the first hour video and it made their day so much better so that they made me very happy and if you’re watching hi also I’ve met so many explorers already today so thank you so much for saying hello um another Explorer she stopped us and said she used our guide books that makes me very happy like we put so much work into our guide books so if you are planing a trip to Tokyo Disney Resort make sure you check out our guide books up on our website at tor.com books I’m not even joking it has everything you need to know to plan your trip hotels what to eat attractions how everything works like Disney Premier access standby pass entry request how the app works where to eat it’s jam-packed full with so much information scan the QR code it’s going to pop up on the screen right there for you I know your phone’s in your hand so scan it okay oh wait our next pass is for space Mountain which is right here got a ticket it’s at 115 minutes oo but this we get to to skip that and Space Mountain is closing forever yes this version is closing forever they’re getting rid of it uh July 31st is when it’s going away and they’re building an entirely new one and so going to open in 2027 so this might be one of my last times I ride this this version let’s go one of the last times I ride the Space [Music] Mountain skape pod I’m good we’re doing this [Music] a little girl [Music] a few moments later that’s not as rough as I remember I think because the last space m that I did you know up until this very recent ride was uh the one in Disney World and that one’s rough that was rough I’m excited to see what they’re going to do with the new one when that opens in 2027 so we’re going to be heading to the hotel right away but I want to make a little stop a little snack at pangalactic Pizza Port ended up getting the green alien Mochi a classic as always [Music] so it’s 3:00 we’re going to head over to the hotel I’m going to show you around the room and everything so before we came to the park we went to the Welcome Center which is right in front of my H station and we were able to drop our bags off and we can pick it up at the hotel so we don’t have to worry about lugging them around and we didn’t have to take them directly to the hotel either it’s nice and convenient do it right at my Hama station at the Welcome Center I love doing that when you’re staying at the Disney hotels it does save you a lot of H so it really does before we go though we have to pay our respects to Tony saleron the owner of pangalactic be support hi Tony I think they still saw the plush of him I it’s so kitchy I love it see I wasn’t lying there is a FL of him listen I keep getting distracted okay I forgot that these were re-released it’s a kitchen timer but it’s the standby entrance wait time sign for Space Mountain it’s 3200 y that is expensive but I have to get it I’m getting it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah you’re coming home with when I bought the timer she gave me some stickers Space Mountain and then these Mickey balloons it’s cute these are definitely a collectible looks like a bunch of the characters are out they’re usually roaming here in the front of then also inside at the World Bazaar I think I saw Scrooge over here yeah Scrooge is over there oh here comes the cavalcade got Flynn Cinderella mattter I’m assuming Alice is there [Music] somewhere where’s Alice Alice Alice who the I won’t finish that here we got Belle Snow White is over there cute it’s so quick to get the Tokyo Disneyland hotel from Tokyo Disneyland the entrance of the park is just over there on the other side of the station mon station and then here we are we’re going to pick up our bags and then head into the room [Music] let’s go so comfortable in here our room is right over here so we have our digital key right on our phone let’s check out the room shall we so this is a superior standard room hi so here’s the bathroom area it’s always so beautiful and this door actually slides shut I love sliding doors it just it saves so much space you know doors that open like that you know just takes up space I love the amenity kits they haven’t changed these in a while and I’m not mad at it little mini kit toothbrush little cups and yes you can keep these see you can take the these home can’t take that home I mean they’re just regular glasses why would you anyway hair dryers down there there’s a little basket no no that’s a garbage can that this you can put like your uh towels and stuff on and then we have the toilet room where there’s the light over here and of course it comes with a washlet this one does not have English on it washlet can’t live without it oh I just noticed the the glass oh okay that’s the Rose from Beauty and the Beast there we go this is the bath bath room so you got your bathtub and you got your shower you can let the natural light in very nice then over here we have the closet extra pillows blanket hanger brush put your luggage on there and we have some slippers you can take these home take all of them if you like those are yours to keep oh we have cogsworth in lumere little bar here kettle that’s for the ice teacups a green tea this a bit coffee and then down here little fridge got some nice complimentary water that’s nice here’s the room it’s been a while since I’ve been like in a standard room cuz I’ve done the being the Beast room here and also the aliceon Wonderland room so I have videos on those you can watch those later if you want to see those themed rooms you got Mickey and Minnie on there on the wall their Silhouettes that’s very pretty and it’s wardrobe I put my bags there there’s pajamas in here for you to wear you don’t get to keep these these are not yours to keep you can wear them but you don’t keep them they’re not included I believe this turns into a bed yeah the carpet in here is really cute too we got the two two beds there they’re a little firm like beds in Japan are usually a little firm but I that’s my preference honestly then we have the echo bag so they’ve been giving these out now instead of the paper bags they used to give so I have one from Hotel miror Costa when I did my vacation package video there so I’m going to get the Tokyo Disneyland one let’s see what our view is oo the weather is so good today I hope it holds out for tomorrow for Fantasy Springs okay so we kind of see semi Park View I guess love it I want to see what this bag looks like oh it’s pretty look at that that very pretty and you get one for each guest in the room so it’s very nice I like that I much prefer these over the paper ones the paper ones I feel like you get to use it twice and it’s destroyed use with this you can use it for a little while so the vacation package as I mentioned at the top of the video we’re doing one from the Japanese website if you’re visiting Japan you’re going to want to go to the English website and book it there so the one that we got the vacation package this one is not available in on the English side it includes the attraction tickets plus uh we got the priority seating for the different shows so that’s why we’re in the vacation package area for Harmony and color and we also have it for tomorrow as well for the belief SE of Dreams show but the biggest reason why I got this was because I was able to get this vacation package for Fantasy Springs so we can get the special one day ticket but I will have a video showing exactly how all that works in my next one so if you’re not subscribed make sure you do so you don’t miss that video okay I still need to pick up our special merchandise so we’re going to go and do that in in a little bit here but I I’m going to take the rest of the day very chill might go back into the park later I just want to enjoy the room you know I’m always rushing around and not spping to enjoy the room so I’m going to also just take it slow a little bit as well but I do need to pick up this this merchandise that comes with the vacation package because I want to see it there’s also postcards that you get to keep they’re in the nightstand I forgot to show them earlier you get two and then there’s this one here very pretty I love a good postcard it’s the back and if you send postcards from here you can buy stamps um I think you can buy them the convenience store here but you can also buy them in the park and then when you mail things here you can also mail them overseas they’ll put a special stamp on it that is for I believe they change it monthly is this a postcard no it’s not a postcard this is just uh advertising Duffy and his Myriad of friends over at Disney C there’s so many of them wait a minute I see something right there how did I miss that okay we need to investigate what is this what is this how did I miss this I I I don’t know how I saw it out of the corner of my eye I just happened to look and I saw these two little brown figures and it’s my boys they’re on the wall I I’m sorry guys I missed you when I was looking earlier and plut is up there too look at Pluto hi Pluto we’re going to head inside the shop here inside the hotel to get our special merchandise we picked up our items so we each got one of these shoulder bags so it looks like they got rid of the pass cases and now it’s these little shoulder bags which I guess makes sense cuz you can put your phone and stuff in it this is really adorable and then there’s original marchandise you get to choose from there’s also a little Toma I didn’t pick the Toma I got I chose this this is what I got this is it’s a little bag but there’s also a blanket inside that has the same pattern I kind of wanted that who doesn’t like the nice little blanket and then the other one my cameraman got this it’s the vacation package tote bag that is very nice this what the inside looks like so it’s nice and lined and there’s a little pocket there that’s nice that’s really nice I am back in the park I want to get something to eat and then need to get ready for the Drone show that’s actually happening tonight so I’m going to get gestone that’s where where I’m going to eat I’m going to get dinner there good old La Tavern the geston I got the French toast chicken sandwich again because I I think I’ve eaten this like a million times at this point and by a million I mean like seven it’s really good I love the cheese and the chicken and the French toastess of it all it’s really good you can see the sugar on the top such a good sandwich I haven’t tried this yet this is an apple spritzer a wine cocktail is it going to be better than my Apple tea soda which I still need to get by the [Music] way it’s very Apple forward there’s jelly in this it’s a little strong too I’m a fan I’m a big fan of this so they’re doing a special drone show right for the grand opening of Fantasy Springs they’re only doing it tonight so it’s on at 8:30 I’m going to head on over to Bayside Station I think and see if I can watch the Drone show it’s a one time only show they’re going to be streaming it too so I’ll put a link in the description for you so if you if you miss it you can go and uh watch it later I love this mon rail station it’s so beautiful and that’s the Tokyo Disneyland hotel that’s how close it is to Tokyo Disneyland a hop skip and a

live and you can watch it on YouTube uh it obviously watched the YouTube version because it was the whole production I only got to see the drones and some of the fireworks at the end there which were
