I love your videos so much
It's my second time but first with my wife ๐
Thanks for the info ๐๐๐
Greetings from Korea ๐ฐ๐ท ๐โค
Thank you Chris! I just went to DisneySea Tokyo 2 days ago and thanks to your tips I could get as many rides as possible
I also plan to go to Disneyland this Saturday (thanks to 3 days JPN holiday)
Then during Obon holiday between August 11 – 20th I plan to go to Osaka & Kyoto and definitely visit Universal Studio
So great to see you've just uploaded this video
Peace from Tochigi
i planning on going in February maybe, so excited & also nervous as i've never been to japan before. love your videos!
Love it! Your videos are so comprehensive. When I make my way to the theme parks I'll be well prepared?
Thank you! I'll be going early January. This will help ๐
Hi could you also please do Tokyo Disneyland and Disney sea tips for first timers โค
Great video! I can't wait to go back to USJ ๐
Thank you so much! My family shall be heading to Japan in November! We are thinking about going here for Nintendo World!
Hello what if my timed entry to super Mario is 3pm will there still be timed entry tickets for kinopio cafe left?
Thank you so much! We got our tickets and express passes on Klook! So excited to go!
I'm so grateful for videos like this in part because I'm a vegetarian so I feel like I can experience the non- vegetarian foods lol
Thank you Chris for your videos! We just came back from Japan last week. Spent 2 days at Tokyo Disneyland 2 days at Disneysea and 2 days at USJ. We were wondering that we might bump into you in some park and lucky enough My partner did! He said he met you around Jurassic Park area while I went the restroom. After I came back we tried to look for you but couldnโt find you anymore. Btw Love your videos and pls keep up the great work. ๐
Thank you Chris, We got our tickets on Klook as well. Your discount codes didn't work tho. We were over $100 CAD.
Your videos also will make us well prepared for Japan!! ๐๐๐
Seeing Usopp and Nami on the boats made me freak out a little. Lol One Piece is my favorite animeโค Thanks for these tips!!!
Thank you for all the incredible information! I wanted to know, do they have vegan options as well? Iโd love to go with my boyfriend one day but he has a strictly vegan diet(this also includes no honey)
I have plan to go to universal 20 october and see jurassic parc the ride was closed but also Hogwarts Castle Walk but it's just the line for the attraction in the castle ? I don't really understand what is this.
Thanks for the video, please a video to the Jaws and Jurassic Park Merch ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Yes My family and i are going to Japan it's our first time . we are going soon .

I'm literally going to be there next week! I'm so excited! Thank you so much for your videos!
Thank you Chris for your amazing videos and all your great tip!! ๐๐
omg yay. I'm so happy you made a video on this. ๐
Your channel always makes me so happy and I love rewatching videos. Hope you are doing well.
hi Chris thanks for the tips thank god I do speak Japanese ๐ชผ
Well somebody is fancy, needing Google to ask for some Grey Poupon. ๐
Friend, I have a question, how can I choose the schedules if I buy an express pass through Klook? I did not get the option to choose the schedules as in the official tickets
Hi Chris, We are coming over in November. I didnโt realise that the Thanksgiving holiday was a thing in Japan. Is this public holiday busy for the parks as well. Iโm assuming it is but just wanted to double check. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips! I booked my tickets and express pass today. Had some issues with credit cards but got there in the end. ๐
Hey Chris, I am trying to buy a ticket on the website itself but I need to enter a japanese address what do I do? (I have seen people using hotel address) is this okay?
This was so helpful! Thank you!! If I were to buy an express pass, which one would you recommend?
Thanks for the video Chris! I'm wondering if you could please do a video on the rides at universal studios where you talk about each ride and describe the type of ride it is and the intensity. I'm going in October but am worried about certain rides because I get motion sickness so would love to know more about the rides themselves!
Thanks Chris you are the best!
Just for clarity – if you buy an Express Pass for one of the Nintendo rides, are you all set for the timed entry? Or do you still need to scan your ticket to get your designated time?
On your vid at the 21 second mark the sign shows a VIP experience as a ticket option? What's included in the VIP experience, and is it worth it in your opinion?
I'm seriously planning to go next year to Japan, for the first-time when the Donkey Kong land in Universal and Fantasy Springs in Disney Sea opens!
Hey Chris! Love ur videos, everytime I watch one it leaves a smile on my face and makes my day! One day my dream vacation is to go to Japan hopefully soon! Keep up da awesome videos!!๐
The Best of Jollywood is all days?
THANK YOU CHRIS!!!!โค we love you
Have you eaten at sanjis restaurant? I want to do a reservation but it's all in Japanese
Thanks for all the tips! We are going to the park at the end of August.
Thanks Chris love your videos so much info. We went at the beginning of April this year and went to USJ on a Tuesday like you suggested with an 8&9 yr old. My opinion is you donโt need an express pass itโs not worth the price. Just get there early and go to Nintendo world first, be prepared for a long day. We did it all in one day
Best family hotel for a reasonable price hotel porta vita
Love that snack box! We just went to USJ and we got sun burnt, it was so hot! Next time we're bringing sun hats and parasols. ๐บHeidi
Thanks for the good explanation. Many people say you can get the Super Mario World tickets on the app, but they never show the app. So that was really nice. I have a question an hope somebody can help me. I will be in Japan for an year from october this year. So I want to buy an online day ticket for USJ, but I want to upgrade it to an annual pass. How do I do that? I dont see an option online, so I just go to the entry with my one day ticket and say I want to purchase an annual pass? Thanks for the help ๐
Funny seeing @ordinaryadventures in the background!
