For those wondering, our theme park tickets were $223 per person for 4 days. Sunday was the most expensive ticket at $63 and the other days were $53.
Since we stayed off property we took public transport, trains for 4 days from our hotel near the airport came to about $48 per person or about $12 a day.
DISNEYSEA..Is.."THE~THEME~PARK"...Of Theme~Parks To Me ! -- I Was Lucky To My First Visit..During It's Opening Year..And Been Back .. Many Times Since Then ! -- Such Details In Every Land .. Oriental Land Company..Isn't Afraid To Put Money Into Attractions And The Property. --; AND..IT..SHOWS !!!!!
That’s amazing. Did you buy them there or before you left the states. Do they require park reservations
Not bad
Thanks for the pricing updates. I'm trying to visit there in the fall.
Isn't that still cheaper than the prices of the American Disney parks?
This is the best video I’ve ever seen of Tokyo Sea. Your coverage is fantastic and it’s great to see you experience it for the first time! Can’t wait to make a visit myself in the next couple of years!
DisneySea is our favorite! Went there last August for the first time. It was hot, but breezy because you're by the sea. And a lot less chaotic than Tokyo Disneyland. Definitely choose DisneySea if you're short on time in Tokyo. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! You did so much! The Aquatopia ride is different in the summer. You actually get soaked!
Every time you say "Making my way..." I immediately start singing "...downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm home-bound."
Same hahaha.
So glad you finally made it there!! It’s been a big part of my life for so many years. I was on the initial design team starting around 1995 or so. I’ve had 2 or 3 major projects there over the years and I love each chance to be there. It is clearly the most beautiful and extravagant Disney park in the world. Sinbad is such a treasure with the Art Direction of the legendary Larry Nikolai and it was produced by Chris Crump (Rolly’s Son). I was hoping you I could see the Magic Lamp Theater which was my life for 5 years. It IS only in Japanese, however. Maybe another day ;-) I DO hope you can see “Believe! Sea of Dreams” before you leave. Possibly the most amazing spectacle in the Disney collection. There is nothing like it anywhere in the world. I do wish you could hear it in English but I’m sure you’ll get the point of the tale. Looking forward to day 2 there!
HI Ray - I followed TDS's construction in the early days of the net from groundbreaking to opening (I remember the day the water was turned on to start filling the park and the specific funny warnings given to workers). I first visited TDS six weeks after opening and have visited from Australia six times all up. I call it a Wonder of the Modern World and it is the only park I could happily pay admission and not ride an attraction and still feel like I got my money's worth.
@@tulinfirenze1990 I LOVE that! I worked on it for about 5 years in the states before everything got shipped over but was performing at Wizards in Ikspiari and got to visit the installation team during construction. I’ve had many projects over there since then and agree with you in every way~
thank you for your help in bringing the park together! :)
Sea of Dreams is cool,. but it's not Fantasmic.
@@LeftCoastDrones lol … I’m speaking from some experience as I’ve worked on both! We all have differing opinions which is fine as I respect your’s. Let me first just say that I’ve LOVED Fantasmic since it opened lo those many decades ago. I made many trips to the park JUST to see that show and it was a thrill when I finally got to work on it for several redesign challanges. On the other hand, even with the updates and reprogramming which was great, It’s hard to compare to Believe for the sheer spectacle of it. If you’ve seen it live, I hope you speak Japanese well enough to understand the story well as that is such a beautiful part of the heart of the show. Without that, it’s just bells and whistles. If you’ve only seen it online, it’s impossible to understand the magnitude of it as anyone that has been there in person will say.
Dylan we are so enjoying seeing your trip to Japan. You are such a genuine person and thanks so much for sharing you trip with us. Your joy and enthusiasm are infectious !
Glad y'all are having fun! I stayed at the Mira Costa hotel at DisneySea a few years ago and it was ~$900 for 3 day/2 night stay (including passes to both parks, breakfast, dinner, line skips, monorail access, and souvenirs).
I absolutely loved Disney Sea. Garlic shrimp popcorn was the best!!!!
“It’s an art gallery that just so happens to have a few rides.” Brilliantly said
I can’t wait to go back, the park was just so beautiful.
Thanks for taking the time to shoot this great video and to let us visit the park vicariously! I didn't know such a magical and one-of-a-kind place existed in Tokyo.
Happy you loved the videos. Disney Sea was pure magic.
So cool! So jealous. Adding to the bucket list
You totally have to. It’s a park everyone should get the chance to visit.
Woo hoo!! Living vicariously through your videos!! 😍 What truly amazes me here is the detail of all the theming they have built! I mean, a volcano? Full size steam ship?? Top of my bucket list for sure! Thanks for sharing!! ♥
I love your passion and how emotional you got with your entrance! ☺️ happy things make me cry, too!
This trip was a long time in the making so it just all hit me lol. Was such a great time 😁
This park is unbelievable. Stuff of dreams. Really relate to your being emotional there, would feel the same way. Would feel very grateful and in awe at the same time.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing!
Great vid! Really enjoyed following you. I've been to all Disney parks except Tokyo, so I'm envious.
Well I hope you can make it out to this one soon. It was an absolute blast.
You said it best, Sinbad was basically a spiritual experience lol I almost skipped it because I thought it was a kiddie ride but it captures the essence of all classic Disneyland dark rides, whimsical, detailed and an earworm of a song. Like if Pirates and Small World had a baby.
I feel totally validated having you of all people saying it’s the best theme park. I try to explain to people why I feel that way but you have to be there to understand. I’ve told Best Life and Beyond (in person) that they need to go there. Now they have your stamp of approval. Great video!
It’s really something special, the park has so many beautiful spots that it’s for sure in the number one spot for me. At least for now u til I come across another amazing park. lol
Tokyo Disney Sea looks fantastic!! Great video Dylan!!
There is nothing like your first day at TDS. I can still remember so much from my first day back in 2015. Life changing experience. You never view theme parks the same way again from that point forward
The Best Disney Park
THE video and vlogging experience I wanted to see. The editing was on point to bring us along as we discovered this wonderful park. Pointed commentary about how there is something to see in every inch of the place made this super exciting, like the first time energy is so real. Letting us see those emotions, hearing it in your voice humanized this beyond just a travel vlog. This was a dream come true. And we knew it was important. It was a true sense of wonder made incarnate. The video had everything we needed to know what it was to visit this park, from rides to food to the atmosphere. One of your best, as it had this real genuine story that was moving.
Everyone needs to know and experience this park by the looks of it. It's just amazing looking with cool rides and uniquely Japanese style. I am so happy for you to have made it there.
I am very jelly of those prices tho, lol. It almost looks like it'd be cheaper to go to Japan for this than Disney World.
Thank you so much for those amazing words. It’s comments like this that inspire me to keep improving and keep going. And it’s comments like this that let me know that there are others that share the same joy when it comes to the theme park industry.
Thanks for that!
And yeah the food prices and everything were great. Honestly if you stay off property like we did and just take the train, you can save hundreds. Plus the food, drinks and merch are all cheap so besides the plane ticket everything else is super affordable. Park tickets for the 4 days were a little over $200 so that should give ya an idea.
I love your videos and watching you tear up over some of these sights, just warms my heart. I go to Disneyland once a month and tear up walking in……every single time! 😊
Well thanks so much for all the support. Glad you enjoyed this stroll through Disney Sea, I’m sure you’ll be like me and get just as emotional if you were there with us too. It’s amazing! 😁
im so happy you got to experience this
I can’t wait to visit again!
How exciting! So happy for you guys
I know this might seem like a wierd take because I don't make a profit from it, but I'm actually really happy that the Yen is weaker right now because it gives people a chance to see so much in Japan. I mean imported goods are mad expensive for me, but I love living vicariously through the travel vlogs of foreigners if that make any sense at all.
Also Sinbad ride best ride, best song, please OLC never change this ride to some popular Disney movie. It is a beautiful adventure from my childhood that I want to be able to relive every few years that I can save up money to go to Tokyo!
I was very happy with how affordable things were for us. I’m sure the rate will change eventually but for now it made things really easy.
And yeah Sinbad was beautiful, one of the best dark rides I have been on.
Tokyo Sea is awesome 🤩!!!…
It was beautiful!
Thanks for sharing the magic!!😊
Jules Verne wrote both Journey to the Center of the Earth and 20,000 leagues Under the Sea.
I really really love this video so much. So beautifully done. Tokyo Disney is stunning.
Awe thanks! I always try my best and I’m glad you enjoyed this one.
This park looks worth the visit to Tokyo Disney! Thanks for the great videos Dylan!
It totally is worth it. The amount of details around every corner are pretty darn impressive.
Dylan we are enjoying every video, are you planning on doing a room tour of your Tokyo accommodation? I would like to get some feedback or ideas where to stay besides a Disney resort.
Thanks
I had no idea about this place and how extensive and detailed it would be it's amazing! And I love seeing it through your eyes for the first time and how emotional you are, though I wish it was me instead 😊 Love the video's 💕

Sinbad's Compass of Your Heart is a song written by Alan Menken for DisneySea!🐯💗
There is a video of the English lyrics on UA-cam for those who don't know it!
It is always one of the top requested songs on Disney on Classics in Japan.
I know the water show was on hiatus, but Believe is a very nice show, so please come see it again sometime!
Love this video Dylan!! Can't wait to go in July. I'm probably going to cry happy tears as well. So happy for you.
Yes I am crying with you! YAY! What a magical place!
Magic at its finest. 😁😁
Hi Dylan, awesome video on DisneySea. I will be visiting next month, I just have to ask about the weather. How many layers did y’all wear ? Packing already so I wanna prep well
Thanks! 🎉
hi Dylan I love Tokyo disney sea too is a very unique park and I also love Sinbad you should try shandu tail is delicious 🐨
There’s a lounge inside the ship with food and drinks so I hope you got a chance to go in and experience it.
Oh dang we didn’t even see that! 😦
It just doesn’t look real, I can’t wait to get there one day. So glad you guys went to show it off for us!!
I had to keep pinching myself because I thought I was dreaming.
I prefer Disney sea at Christmas. It comes alive, as do many parks, when the Xmas lights come on at night.
Disney Sea is on my bucket list!
It’s amazing! Totally worth it.
I have an opportunity to go to Toyko in 2025. This has got to go on the itinerary!
Oh you absolutely have to go 😁
The music of Attraction The Adventures of Sinbad composed by Alan Menken‼️
You are EXTREMELY lucky! Tokyo Disneysea looks like a VERY BIG PLACE!!!!
It was huge! Really fun park with amazing details so I’m glad we had two days there.
You did an amazing job covering this park so far pails in comparison to all the other videos I’ve seen great job way to go. Can’t wait for part two.
Awe thanks! I tried my best to capture as much as I could.
Really enjoy your videos. My family and I are going to Japan in May and look forward to seeing the things you and Michael enjoyed.
What an emotional pilgrimage. I love your true love and appreciation of theme parks in general. I grew up a couple miles from geauga lake park and sea world Ohio in aurora oh. Had passes to both every summer. They then became six flags after the buyouts and eventually closed. Broke our hearts.
I'm planning to go in 2 years
That will be good because Fantasy Springs will be well into operation and the crowds should be more manageable for it.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD and I'm going to do what you did and go for 4 days
I need to get on the sinbad ride RIGHT NOW! looks so cool
I visited Disney Sea back in 2020 (just before the pandemic) and am hoping to visit again this June! I just heard about the new Fantasy Springs port so hoping I can plan my trip for the opening.
I think it’s going to be a great time to go after fantasy springs opens. It’s going to add so much more to an already amazing park.
Holy - You know what... LOVE IT!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Disney Sea is my number one park I want to visit. I'm so glad you confirmed that it is awesome!! Some day I will make it there. I may have to be knocked out to fly that far, but I will do it. I am so HAPPY for you that you go to achieve one of your dreams. It looks so amazing!!
You will absolutely love the park. So many things to discover and explore, loved every moment of it. Plane ride wasn’t too bad but yeah it’s long haha
Thanks for posting such a great video! My sister and I are heading to Japan at the end of September and are currently doing our research as to what we would like to do in Japan. With so many things do do, we will definately be adding DisneySea to our list of excursions on our 2 week trip to Japan
Dylan please visit Star City or Enchanted Kingdom in the Philippines, they waaaaay better than Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, I promise. :)
I’ll have to put those on the list 😁
Fun fact: The Disneysea version of Indiana Jones uses electric actuators for the ride vehicles, unlike the hydraulic actuators on the Disneyland version. As a result, the Disneysea version actually has less downtime, because it is easier to maintain and less serious if something breaks.
Speaking of how many days to allocate to the Tokyo Disney Resort, it will definitely be a full four days once Fantasy Springs opens. 😊
I mean even without Fantasy Springs 4 days was perfect. Just because you want to take your time. But yeah once it opens its minimum 4, can’t wait to see all that when it’s done.
Awesome Disney Sea vid, you guys. Journey to the Center was ok. Sinbad totally blew me away. I could easily see how you teared up. ( I saw the full length ride on a Ride You tube video). The ambiance is beautiful. Thank You.
This only proves that Japan values its people and their money by creating and producing an attraction that is far more superior than the ones in the United States. It only proves how much the Disney Corp. the man running at appreciates its customer and the hard work it takes a family to save money to come to any Disneypark.
I noticed they don't have ticket that include 2 theme parks. Do you have to come back the second day for the other park?
The boat is actually a replica of the Queen Mary in Long Beach as a homage to where Disney was supposed to open their nautical theme park in Long Beach, CA but the plan ultimately scrapped!!
I wish we ended up getting a version of Disney Sea. That would have been amazing.
Looks sooo much better than when we went when it was raining!! Great coverage, Dylan!!
I was bracing for snow but we got lucky for sure. Thanks so much for tuning in!
This park looks amazing!
Tokyo Disney definitely looks incredible
As someone living in the US it's so annoying how cheap Disney parks are elsewhere in the world, I mean I get it Disney doesn't directly influence pricing in Asian parks they're simply hired as a "consultant" effectively, but man Tokyo Disney is dirt cheap compared to the US, even the hotels are affordable. Where as in the US I feel like Disney parks are used to prop up all the other Disney ventures, like Disney+ or the movie aspect that keeps squirting out stinkers, I even recall way back when hearing an excuse for raising the cost of US parks was because they had to pay for Euro Disney... SMH.
It’s unfortunate for sure and I think overall it’s just more of an incentive for folks to travel to other parks around the world. 😁
I cried for three days when I got home last month because I NEED to go back.
You didn't do the wave goodnight? It's tradition when leaving TDS to wave goodnight to all the guests up in their rooms in the Mira Costa. They will be at their windows and balconies likewise waving and wishing you a lovely rest of your evening. It's a TDS tradition and we never fail to do it.
Oh we did. They had their phone lights on and we waved walking out. 😁 Was super cool how everyone was doing that.
After going to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea, returning to Anaheim will be a let down. All you'll be thinking about is going back to Japan!
We are already thinking about possibly going back haha. Those parks were amazing.
Back home this would cost at least... A million dollars 🤪🤪😆😆
This theme park is beautiful 😍
It’s next level for sure!
The Best Disney Park?!?! Facts😭
Ohhh yeah. It was amazing!
Nice video, Dylan.
Thank you thank you!
@23:18 💁🏼♀️How dare you, sir, how dare you. Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout is a solid 10/10 !!
Other than the insanity of that particular moment, I’m really enjoying your TDL/TDS vids🙌
Oh I was referring to our old version of tower of terror. Haha we had the total budget version because Eisner wanted something thrilling in the park but built super fast.
Guardians is a great ride for sure. 😁
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD 🥂 Ah, k…that makes more sense. You are forgiven! 😁
Hello there! I'm looking to travel solo and visit DisneySea. I'm looking for rooming suggestions outside of the park, do you have a video or info on that? Also do you suggest November for this year? Thanks so much for your insight!
We stayed off property and I briefly covered that in my travel vlog to Tokyo. We booked it through Booking.com and got a really good deal.
Booking, Expedia or Google will be the best when looking off site from Disney.
Yeah, this is definitely on the bucket list 🙂
You gotta do it! It was amazing.
Thank you, Dylan, we wished we could make it.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m sure you can make it out there soon. 😁
the food you guys have is much better than hotdogs and fries...
The food at Tokyo Disney was great!
Great video 😊
Tokyo Disneysea is on my bucket list
And you’re going to love it when you go. 😁
I sure will
Do they have a genie + or fast pass to purchase & if they do, did you guys buy it?
They call it Premier Access and no we didn’t. Since we were there for two days we didn’t need to rush through things and didn’t mind waiting for some of these rides.
😁
The animatronics in Sinbad are astounding
They all move so smoothly, really well done
Looks amazing.
It was! I can’t wait to go back.
I love Disneysea. Ive been twice. Disneysea is the best THEMED Disney park. But sorry, their rides aren't that great. Paris's Tower of Terror is better. They don't have a life sized Millenium Falcon or Rise of the Resistance. It's a great park, but if rides matter to you, Disneyland Anaheim is still King.
I think disneysea has better rides. Most of the stuff at Anaheim is either 50 years old or kinda low budget
@@1ronEntertainment Disneysea doesnt have Rise of the Resistance which is the absolute best ride in all of the Disney parks. Disneysea also doesnt have Mickey and Minnie's runaway railway. Disneyland Anaheim has the best Space Mountain and yes I've been to Paris. The loop and corkscrew are great, but it's too short overall. The only rides at DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland that I wish Anaheim had are Sinbad, Aquatopia and of course Beauty and the Beast. Other than that, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout has way better drops than Tokyo's Tower of Terror. Radiator Springs Racers is way better than Journey to the Center of the Earth.
@@LeftCoastDrones ur comparing 2 parks to 1. Disney sea should either be compared to DL or DCA. Not both, Tokyo Disneyland should honestly be compared to DLA, and they are getting a new tomorrowland with a bunch of new rides. Anyways. Journey to the center of the earth is better than rise (honestly it’s overrated), and the theming of Disneyland is lackluster in half the park ( Tomorrowland, fantasyland, etc). Disneysea is just so much cooler
So, because this is DisneySEA, the areas of the park are not “lands” but “ports”. Each area is supposed to be a different sea port.
Yeah they were all really beautiful. Can’t wait to go back to Disney Sea.
what is real funny ITS NOT A DISNEY PARK...they don't own it, the park's name is RENTED by a better company that runs it BETTER!
OLC needs to buy all of them off of Disney.
I was waiting for this video
Hope you enjoyed it!
Hey Dylan, are you using a gimbal in these Tokyo Disney videos? I’m going for my first time on a solo trip and wanna make sure I can bring one into the parks to take photos. Appreciate the help!
This is all handheld. I filmed everything from Tokyo on an iPhone 14 Pro Max. 😁 No other equipment used at all.
Ok so I know you said you were looking forward to 20000 leagues under the sea but..did you like it??
It's one of the few rides I found underwhelming but curious what others think.
We really enjoyed it, went on it a couple times throughout our trip 😁
I can understand why many people refer to this as the best of Disney "Noncastle" parks. I'd almost be prepared to call it "Tokoy Disney's Islands of Adventure."😄😄
Just found you for the first time on these Japan videos. I have been saying the theme park vlogger space has been missing a cute guy😂 found him! 🎉
Awe thanks! I try and present myself as nice as I can lol thanks so much for the support.
OLC is willing to spend the money to get the first-rate results. DisneySea even recreated a mock version of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, Ca, which is where the park would have been originally if the DisCo's budget & the LA/American consumer could have supported it. The details in the Tokyo park make you go, "how the heck did they do that?!," whereas the details (or lack of such) at Disney's other park from 2001 makes you go, "why the heck did they do that?!" If Walt Disney were alive, he'd be amazed by DisneySea. Then he'd look at the park built across from his park of 1955 and go, "uh, er, uh, well, hmm."
As for the Japanese consumer, their personal lifestyle is more modest than the American one---eg, smaller houses, no dryers, no ovens; adult women living with parents, etc. So they're more willing to shell out for a great theme park.
Note TDS and DCA opened the same year.
Yup, ain’t that something haha. Too bad DCA didn’t get the proper funding it deserved.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD OLC knew they needed a second park on par or better than the first park next door. Disney thought anything with the Disney name would be a hit. They ended up paying more to fix DCA that still isn’t on par with the TDS.
Lmao You guys must have brought some jinx with you from California because I've never seen the Temple of Crystal Skull breaking down 🤣
Hold that boys hand
So happy for you ❤
Thank you very much. I hope everyone that watches can visit one day too. It really is a special park.
And to think, back in the day, we almost had a theme park like this in Long Beach.
Right?! That would have been amazing.
こんにちは！今週末ディズニーリゾートに子供たちと行ってきます！あなたの動画拝見してワクワク(っ ॑꒳ ॑c)がとまりません✨🏰🌋
ありがとう!!
Hope you have a great time! I can’t wait to go back 😁
Your like a kid in a candy store when you get in. ;)
Tokyo DisneySea opened the same year as Disney California Adventure (2001). One was funded by Disney, the other wasn't....care to guess which one was which?????
Isn’t that crazy to think. Goes to show what greed can do on return of investment.
I apologize for my grumpy post....I am glad you are enjoying your vacation and I hope to visit Japan one day. ;)
Thanks for coming my country.
Can’t wait to come back!
Team Chandu 🐯 its a shame that you didn't play the beautiful song on sinbad that was witten by Alan Menken
