Hi, 👋🏽 My name is Chris, aka TDRExplorer. I started sharing my theme park adventures. Over the years, TDRExplorer has become a resource for passionate theme park fans looking to make the most of their trips to Asia, including Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan!
Which of the attractions are you most excited about?? For more information on how to get INTO Fantasy Springs please check my free guide. tdrexplorer.com/tokyo-disneysea-expansion-fantasy-springs/
Tangled
Peter Pan!
Rapanzel
Frozen
Def Frozen & Rapaunzel. I feel like peter pan was a miss opportunity to be a ground breaking E attraction. It seems very similar to Universal’s dark ride attractions like spider-man, etc. i hope i’m wrong and it blows my mind away when i go on it later in the yr.
Hey I worked for the company that made all of the scenic elements of the Frozen Attraction and outdoor areas! It was really cool to get to paint and texture a lot of the castle walls and roofing even down to the smallest elements.
Imagineering would often come and tour our work after parts were assembled to ensure quality before being taken back apart and shipped overseas to Tokyo. The circular ice staircase that Elsa is standing on in particular was in our warehouse for a looooong time and got in the way. It had to be supported in a particular way while being painted. A lot of these pieces are extremely heavy. The fireplace in the restaurant was on display for a long time as well before being finished and packaged. Several of the attraction facades were assembled. And usually during disassembly the parts would get damaged a bit, so we had to repair and repaint them. I can point out several areas where this has happened. The roof shingles in particular were very easy to get damaged, they are made from strips of 2x4 that were stencil cut by the woodshop, and then we would sand each and every one and weather them before painting.
A lot of hard work went into making these things.
And this was 2 years ago by the way.
I still have a photo from the tags that were attached to each piece before being sent out.
The castle rockwork was even more interesting to make as well. The frames are steel with plywood as a base. Then the rocks are simply wood cut into the various shapes, then plastered on top and stamped with various rock textures. The castle turrets involved a lot of sandblasting to get that weathered wood look. Tons and tons of work went into this project.
Of course, we were not allowed any creative liberties as imagineering had a specific vision for every aspect and we had to follow strict guidelines for painting everything.
Congrats on all your hard work finally entering the spotlight after all this time, the Frozen ride sets were particularly eye-catching! Love it when we can get a peek behind the curtain
If you don't mind me asking, what's your company's name? A job like you just described sounds amazing!
thanks for ur hard work bringing the magic to everyone.jus reading in detail i could tell alot of love and passion went into this project
That's awesome, I'm a ride engineer at a theme park in the UK but it'd be a total life goal to do work for disney or universal!
Fantastic job of detailing. Looks like you guys must have been going at lightning speed to finish this amount of work within only two years. Congratulations on a wonderful creation and job.
Ahhh whoever is in charge of all of this needs to bring this to our US parks I’m blown away this is the Disney I imagine in my head these people know what they are doing this maybe the best Disney park ever!
They can’t. OLC, who owns and runs the Tokyo Disney Resort, has it in their contracts that any original attraction they build stays exclusive to their resort. In other words, it can’t be cloned anywhere else.
I can just imagine the exec team at Disney US just poring over this looking for inspiration.
@@Emplordxiii I thought the exclusivity was limited to a certain number of years. In the case of Shanghai Disneyland Tron, it was exactly 5 years before Tron was opened at WDW.
@@spinetickspressingShanghai’s deal is different from OLC. OLC wants to keep exclusivity to themselves.
Japanese are good at cartoon and anime❤❤❤❤
The layers of details are unmatched here. Everything from the unreal rock work to the custom designed queue stanchions and fencing barriers around the land have lent this to be one of the most spectacular Disney themed lands on Earth!
The art direction is RIDICULOUSLY good. I just can't get over it.
私は日本人です！
外国の方が日本のディズニーに興味、関心を持ってくれるのはとても日本人として嬉しいです！一時間以上の動画でその熱意が伝わってきます！
Visiter le Japon est un rêve pour moi. Beaucoup de personnes sont fascinées par Disney au Japon, notamment parce que vous possédez ce qui est considéré comme l'un des plus beaux parcs à thème Disney dans le monde. J'ai visité Disneyland Paris à plusieurs reprises, et observer tous les détails que vous avez intégrés à DisneySea est tout simplement incroyable ! Fantasy Springs est probablement la plus belle extension de Disney de ces vingt dernières années et l'une des plus réussies de l'histoire des parcs. C'est le seul domaine Disney qui n'est pas directement géré par Disney. Bravo pour cette réussite ! 😍😍😍😍😍
The hotel is STUNNING! I love the Art Nouveau-inspired design.
Art noveau fits so well with Disney fairytales ❤
There is so much detail I can’t take my eyes off the screen.
I love the lounge in the lobby so much
No, the stone work with all the princesses did not make me cry bc it’s so beautiful 😭
Crying at the lantern scene just watching it...can't imagine how much I'm going to cry when I'm actually riding!
Without a doubt, this land has reset the standard in themed entertainment. It was Harry Potter, now it's Fantasy Springs
Japan is the best😍😍😍😍😍
I think Nintendo is the new standard. This is very good but the interactiveness of Nintendo land is something else.
Nah, DisneySEA has always been the standard since its inception. The Harry Potter section at Universal Studios around the world has never even come close to the level of DisneySEA
Correct. No better theme park on Earth than DisneySEA. The hotel and new land proves this. It Absolutely looks to be the most amazing resort and land to exist in the Disney portfolio. Rightfully so. OLC does Disney like no other and they pay for it dearly thus passing on value to their guests unlike the parks stateside.
@@meanderingmouse Disneyland park in California is great too
The hotel: Art Nouveau on steroids. Wow. This dreamy style and the predominant color choice of lavender and grass green lends an air of fantasy in itself. Even the mirrors and tv frame have sinuous edges. Lovely. Dream on. Thanks for the tour!
I'M SO JEALOUS!!! Congrats on getting invited to the previews!
I hesitated to watch and spoil things for myself but-- let's be real-- I'll have to wait for a couple years until the crowds subside and get in without a reservation anyways lol
What a dreamy hotel?!!! The stunning pastel color scheme with the wisteria is so magical and elegant.
God this new area is gorgeous. The smooth movements of the animatronics are so impressive, I’m just blown away by what Disney can do with their new rides. And all the quick service restaurants?! They were gorgeous as well, I can’t get over the attention to detail. Thanks for taking us along 💕
Thank you for watching! Everyone did such an amazing job with this area.
Ah, the beauty that arises from having a healthy budget and imagination. Looks awesome!
Omg! You’re so lucky to be one of the first to visit here. This blows away nearly anything the US Disney parks did in the past 10 years.
The Japanese parks have always just really nailed that Disney feeling. This new land is outstanding! It feels so classic and familiar yet totally new and innovative. I hope the US parks kick it into gear!
I don’t think they will sadly, the Japan Parks’s are own by a different company and they are allowed to use the ips. But tbh I wished they own the Florida park it would be so pretty if they did. 🥲🥲
I am absolutely GUSHING over the hotel architecture!! It's truly hard to find any modern building take on the art nouveau aesthetic let alone do it to such a fantastical degree but of course TokyoDisney pulls it off. What a dream hotel!!!
I love sharing Disney vlogs with my mom and Peter Pan is one of her favorite Disney movies. Thanks for giving my family something to connect over ❤
You are so welcome! I'm happy I was able to show this to you!
I think I am most excited for VIBES! DisneySea Imagineers are maniacs with detail and based on what I have seen so far, this is off the charts with detail and creativity! I think I'm most excited for Peter Pan? Live Chris Reactions are my favorite though, and I'm a sucker for merch. SO GLAD they gave you a VIP invite- you earned it!!!
The little pastry in the plastic frying pan looks like a mini Dutch Baby. I'm in awe of the millions of little details in this park! I'd love to visit 1000%!
When I went to Tokyo DisneySea for the first time last year I was BLOWN AWAY!! Best Disney park- it's my favorite anyway- by far!! I love the unique merch, the rides, the theming, everything.
So happy they invited you! If anyone deserves it, it’s definitely you!
Can’t wait to share all the videos on opening day. The queue and rides are so beautifully made and japan does it better as always.
OMG just finished watching the video. Hopefully I bump into you on Opening day! :) Thanks for the amazing video 1 Hour too!! Did you not get to see what it looks like at night?
Me watching so closely at the glasses reflection on the Peter Pan ride😂😂thank you for taking us on this journey with you! Can’t wait to go someday~🌟
my heart was racing watching your video. The first thing I am doing once I'm done with nursing school is plan/book my trip to Japan just so I can see Fantasy Springs!!
Oml me toooo
😭😭 this is the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever seen
It makes me wanna dress as a princess all the time 🥺
Tokyo Disney is killing the game! The Disney Parks in the States better step it up!
Anaheim is allowing Disneyland to expand further so hopefully we’ll get more quality attractions and rides
12:02 imagine getting married in that hotel with all that beauty 😍 😩 😳 🥺😭 You need a wedding dress that compliments the venue or simple and elegant to stand out
I’m so sad that this isn’t coming to the American Parks. It’s so beautiful. My inner child is screaming rn because of how gorgeous the new land is. I want this to be in the American parks.
Anyone else shouting at Chris to breathe ? lol. Absolutely wonderful video. The attention to detail in that park was incredible
This looks beautiful. Did anyone else notice the detail of the pink and blue rocks used for Auroras dress? ❤
UGHHH the Frozen area/Arendelle looks FANTASTIC 😭 The castle WITH the North Mountain in the back?? The quality is just chef kiss.
I love to watch your childlike joy at everything you see. ❤️ you have also shown me over and over that the Japanese do Disney better than the Americans FULL STOP! The attention to detail is amazing. I hope I can visit someday before I'm too old to enjoy it.
I want to thank you for this channel. While i may never afford to go to Japan let alone Tokyo Disney or DisneySEA, I love watching you get excited over every new thing and leaving no stone unturned. I feel like I'm experiencing it with you! Thank you!
I can't find my words anymore this land is THE BEST land they have ever created! Everything is so so so beautiful and the amount of details everywhere is insane! The frozen attraction is incredible! Wish we could have gotten this one in Paris but no... Really love the Rapunzel one too (the lanterns scene made me cry...)! The hotel is the most gorgeous hotel I've seen! I wanna live there! 🤣 Thanks Chris for the giant amount of work you've done for giving us this video as soon as you have gotten back home. I love your videos the most cause it's like being able to be there through your eyes so thank you! Can't wait for the opening to be able to discover this magical land even more!
Planning on going to Tokyo next year and this is a MUST DO, please release more videos on this, I want to be informed of everything since this will be my first time in Japan
It is incredible. I shed a tear during the Rapunzel ride. Fantasy Springs is even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you for sharing it was all so amazing and detailed.
I wish they cared about the USA parks like this
I went back to the US two years ago after having been to TDR six times in a row. I was SO disappointed (yet not surprised) at the dumps the US parks have become. Won't ever be going back - TDR for me only again for the future!
Walking on the Jolly Roger is awesome “un tell the captain we want to put to sea! See!” lol love that scene in the movie
Gosh Tokyo Disney just knows what we want! I really hope our park will learn from them!
This is insane, seeing this in person I'd probably cry...
I am in tears ❤ We are going in June and I have been following your page since we first decided we were going last summer. Your videos always bring a smile to my face. I appreciate your spirit and am.a forever fan. My boys also love watching your first Nintendo World video on repeat. Just wanted to share some love and positivity as you have certainly brightened our lives with all your videos. Thank you!
now when you said last night on your instagram story that you were uploading a fantasy springs video soon, i thought over the weekend 😭 not the next morning! lol THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US THIS EXPERIENCE! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!
Chris, I'm so happy that my first virtual "trip" to this land was with you - your joy is so contagious! The park and hotel are both jaw-droppingly beautiful. Thank you so much for doing such a great job filming and making us feel like we were there hanging out with you!
Thank you so much! I'm happy that I'm able to help make you feel you're there.
Thank you!!!!
It’s gorgeous I love everything about it. Beauty and the beast rock work/ water fall 🥰🥰 the hotel amazing, the art work is beautiful. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to go. I’m happy Pocahontas is represented in the park, she needs her own ride. Hearing “The Bells of Notre Dame” in the lobby I could cry 😭😍
think this is the most enchantingly beautiful area i have ever seen in any theme park. cant wait to experience it myself one day! hoping to go to tokyo next april :D
I always thought the Disney parks look amazing and couldn’t be more pretty and better designed and then Japan went and built Disney Springs 🤯❤
I am LIVING for the hotel music, it was WDW’s hotel tv music for the longest time until they made individual hotel music tv screens.
That's good to know!
I love the art nouveau inspired architecture and elements
We’ve been watching your channel for a few years, we love it. You are Awesome! This video was great. We wish we can go to Japan, but my husband doesn’t fly. We live near Disney World but your Disney puts ours to shame. These new lands are amazing so much detail. They didn’t forget anything. We need this in our Disneys in America, you guys are so lucky. Keep up the good work, big fans, Veronica and Todd
Oh my god 😮 watched the whole video. Love your Style. And what an awesome and beautiful new chapter for DisneySea. Cant wait to visit again!
The Frozen Attraction is GORGEOUS!!!! ( As is all of Fantasy Springs!)
As if Tokyo Disney Sea wasn't already the best theme park in the entire world, they did this. It literally blows every other Disney establishment out of the water. I just wish the US parks would invest in the magic like the Oriental Land Corporation has done.
So amazing!! Fantasy springs was just absolutely magical 😭 it was so nice meeting you too ❤
It looks like you had a wonderful time too! It was great meeting you
okay i am sooo beyond jealous you are here at the Media week!!! ahhhhh!!!
Hi flying the nest are to exotic for mora
The hotel is GORGEOUS. I wish Disney World would be even a fraction this nice.
The hotel? Whimsical.
The land, so very very detailed! I loved everything from the magic mirror behind the waterfall to the ride queues.
My favorite part? Watching Chris react to it all!❤ thanks for the share!
Thank you for watching, Audrey!
What a wonderful opportunity to have a preview of Fantasy Springs! The animatronics is just exceeding all expectations. Can't wait to check out the merchandise vicariously through you!
Definitely would check out the lantern scene in Tangled. Even through the screen, it blew my mind, so I can imagine how much more spectacular it was in person😍
This was breathtaking, what an opportunity!
Sooooooo beautiful and yes please do a vid on all the ins and outs about how to access fantasy springs! Thank youuuuu I loveeeeee all your vids. When I went to Japan last year, your guides and vids saved me for exploring all things Disney and universal. Sooo helpful!!!
The hotel theme so sweet n cute flowers..huge peacock so beautiful..the room so cute..the fountains sooo cute omg❤❤❤❤❤
I am so happy you got this VIP experience. Thank you for taking us all along with you! I’m visiting Japan in Oct and I cannot contain my excitement for this stunning park. I cannot wait to be able to see more of the merchandise and gift shop when it opens.
Have fun traveling in Japan.
Thank you for uploading this video! Im so happy my girl Rapunzel finally FINALLY gets the attraction she deserves!!! Every part made me cry even if it was short it was still amazing! My dream is to go to Disney Sea and this definitely is going to be my first stop if i ever go! Also the snuggly ducklings AHHH SO SO adorable i loved that they even played some music from the Series too! I love seeing my girl get the land shes been way overdue for! Thank you again! Great video!!💖🥹😭
I almost fainted at the mousse cup with a souvenir cup, $4.25!!!!! At Disneyland that would cost $18 - $22
I just had to pause for a minute, to say that I'm delighted I found this vlog in my 'feed.' I'm an 'oldie,' from London, and I'm a Disneyphile through and through, since I first visited DL Anaheim in 1971 (showing my age)! This new park looks incredible, just my British 'cup of tea.' I paused just after you came off the Tinkerbell ride, she has always been a favourite of mine. I was thinking it would have been so cute, if somehow the 'imagineers' could have made some of the flowers appear to sneeze, just like in the film Hook. That part always brings a smile! Thank you for sharing your visit, and I'm looking foward to watching the rest 9f the vlog. Also going to 'click' and subscribe!
Love that on the tinkerbell ride you get to see cheese the mouse and he is so cute.
Its lavish, gorgeous, dreamy and relaxing! My goly i still can't get over those animatronics like what the heck🤯 it's sooo stunning the quality and work put into FS!
This land and resort SETS THE BAR. Period! Just wow! It’s so properly situated in the best theme park on Earth. DisneySEA. Excellent work by a properly funded Disney Imagineering team thanks to OLC.
The detailing is umatched! I feel like you could spend an entire week there and still miss things! Thank you so much for showing us such beautiful detailing! ^_^ One day I hope to go visit!
Holy moly!!! Everything looks phenomenal!!! They truly outdid themselves!
OMGG the hotel is stunning! It’s everything! The pastels the fairy and princess vibe. I skipped the end because I didn’t want spoilers so thanks for the warning🧚🌷
TDR. Fantasy Springs, you would have to rate the whole area 12 out of 10. Cheers, Chris Perry.
I’ve never been so excited to click on a video! This is so beautiful. I wish we had something like this in the US.
Thank you for watching!
Absolutely made my day! Can’t believe Fantasy Springs is finally here, can’t wait to go see it! Love the video as always Chris, great job :)
Chris, I can't tell you how I thoroughly enjoyed this video!!! I'm soooo excited for Fantasy Springs opening and I deeply relate on the level of your excitement you had! So I applaud you for providing excellent shots and commentaries, really showing as much details of the park and hotel!!
OMG YES everything is so beautiful
Just amazing! Thank you for sharing Chris! That shows me so much why I felt in love with Disney Parks!
I absolutely love everything! It's so gorgeous it makes me want to cry.😭 FS hotel is my dream home aesthetic.
One day I’ll be bawling happy tears thru this all
Oh my goodness it looks AMAZING. Coming from australia, yes please to break down on how we have to enter, Tokyo Disney is all very different and confusing. Thank you for sharing
the quality and attention to detail herer is mind blowing. So much better than what we have seen in the US parks as of late. Guess I have to head back to Japan for the next trip!
What a treat to be able to visit the park where you basically have it all to yourself. I didn't know they made this park, it's absolutely amazing and stunning. Looking forward to your video on the Grand Opening. Safe travels!
Thank you truly a tremendous thanks! Seeing the completion of this work is glorious! Hallelujah!
Halfway through the video and loving it! You make it fun! Thanks for showing us around!
I’m so happy with how Fantasy Springs turned out. That rock work alone is fantastic and beautiful. 🌸
It's so good! I didn't expect to get emotional over the rock work, haha
All of this is just so beautiful and well themed…love that the attractions are all family friendly
Wow, this was Fast! Wasn’t expecting this video for a few days! So excited for you!! I’m so stupidly looking forward to seeing this next year!!
Yay! Thank you!
It seems to be true to Walt's original vision. I love the ambience; the peaceful, adrenaline free Safe and friendly place.
I love how whimsical and fantastical everything is, it's so detailed and fits the Disney theme in a very nice classy way. Mind blowing!
"A whole strawberry? In this economy?!" 😂😂😂 i loooveee it! ❤
I want my whole house to look like this hotel. Good Lord it's beautiful!
I never thought that the Lantern Festival from Tangled will be possible. Just thinking about it makes me wanna tear up a bit. Now i have to plan and book my visiting to Tokyo Disney Sea!
I was just thinking that when the US Disney parks become a seperate entity, that the people who do the Japaneese parks should take them over. They've been doing such an amazing job!
Thank you for posting this so quickly! I love your take on the theme parks. Looking forward to your merch video! 😊
Thank you
Oh em geeeee thank you for this peak into fantasy springs!! I can't believe they fully included the Tinkerbell movies into the park: there's even Cheese the mouse??!! I can't wait to go in here because Peter Pan, Tinkberbell and Tangled movies are my absolute favs!❤❤❤
I noticed it was based off the movies after hearing some of the sounds and gasped !!
I wish the parks in the us would involve it more like this
Everything was so cute
I love how detailed the Tinker Bell ride is!
All I kept saying while watching your video was "WOW"! The hotel alone would be worth a trip to Tokyo. Thanks for taking me along, Chris
The detail in everything is amazing! Hope we get something like this in the states lots of Easter eggs hidden throughout the land and rides, I love it. The man running from the bouncing ball painting could be a clever Indiana Jones reference 😊
Absolutely stunning!! Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure with us! Can’t wait to see it in November! Got your guide to help plan everything!
Aww. I love the joy you have at discovering all of the details.
Thank you
Omg the Beauty and the Beast fountain! ❤ 😭 They did so good! The rockwork is so impressive. I wanted to cry. The rides look so incredible. 😍
