No, thank you for all the hard work and love that you put on all your videos. This 2023 was a bad year for me. I found your videos. Your personality, quirkiness and ease of explaining inspired me to take some time for myself and travel alone after a hard breakup. It was an amazing experience at USJ! I left Japan energized, happy and a fan for life! 🎉❤ I can’t wait for your 2024 guide
@@mrvandyk Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me. I hope you're doing better!
Thankyou for all that you have done.. Your the reason i can watch disneyland & sea from Australia. :) I'd love to meet you when we come to japan in Nov/Dec 2024. Your tribute to your late partner was so touching.. your really deserve 1 million Subs & many more. :)
Oh Chris, that ending made me tear up a little bit. I just wish you the best and i really hope that million comes as fast as possible because you totally deserve it. Thank you for always sharing the magic. Your community loves you. Happy New Year : )
Thank you so much
Congratulations on 150k! We love living vicariously through your videos🤩. Your 100k video was bittersweet, I know your partner is proud of you 🎉
Thank you
Yay!!! I’m so proud of you and can’t wait for what’s next! I went to Japan for the first time this year and your guides were so helpful in making our first experience to Tokyo Disney and universal studios magical and less stressful!!! Please keep being you! I adore your kindness, quirky personality and thoughtfulness!!!
Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear.
I'm new-ish to the channel but I absolutely love all of your videos. You have such genuine enthusiasm and are such a delight to watch. I especially appreciate your cute aggression! Congrats on 150k and I look forward to your adventures next year. My partner and I were bawling at the end with the second confetti popper - such a bittersweet tribute. Wishing you the best.
Thank you
You honestly deserve it so so much, my dear! Thank you so much for getting me through work, cosmetology school, family passings, good days, bad days, and more. We appreciate you so much more than you think! Cannot wait for what comes in the future for you and your amazing channel. Much love❤❤
Thank you
Love you man, me and my girl LOVE your videos and we hope to meet you one day.
Congrats Chris on the huge milestone!! 🎉🎉 Discovered this channel last year, and with my love of theme parks and anime it easily become one of my comfort channels. I love getting to live vicariously through you as a person in the US, and your energy is really calming to me so these videos work great as sleep aids. 😊 Also I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't do much other than send my best wishes and condolences, but I'm sure your partner is super proud of how far you've come and will continue to go in the future
Thank you
I wasn't breathing. That's why I love to watch you. You can laugh at yourself because us Canadians do that. Chris I'm so happy for you and I wish nothing but health, great happiness and love in your life for 2024. Happy Year of the Dragon. ❤
haha, that was such a fun little blooper and it felt right to share it. Thank you so much, Suzy
Congratulations Chris, I've been a virtual traveler with you for a few years now & I'm so proud of you! Your videos have improved loads. We can't wait to see you again in 204~
Thank you so much
Chris, I finally went to TDR and it’s all thanks to you. I’ve watched your videos, bought your book, and listened to your podcast! Thank you so much for being honest and helpful. Traveling to a new country (and a new Disney resort) is intimidating, but you made it easy. I reread your book a lot, and in the end we had the best trip. I can’t thank you enough. You deserve all the praise and may you have many more subscribers join you on your adventures!
Oh wow, you got everything! Now that's the way to do it. Thank you so much for the support in every way, it means so much. It makes me so happy to hear
Awwwww that made me tear up. Chris, I remember watching videos of you and John together running around in your chip and dale outfits! I felt like for a time after he passed, you were more downtrodden in your videos... But I am glad to see how happy you are and that John's spirit and energy still lives through you 💞💫🌈 we won't ever forget John and I'm sure he's proud of your accomplishments 🎉🎉 Congratulations on the 150k! You deserve it!!!
Thank you for your kind words
Congratulations Chris! The 100,000 video at the end made me tear up. Can't wait to see you make it to 1,000,000.
Thank you so much, Kate
Congratulations! Since finding your channel not long ago, you've easily become one of my top UA-camrs because you're so wholesome and easy to love. Your energy is beautiful, plus your content is entertaining. I got emotional too during the popper! 😢 And you're hilarious for adding that clip of you vacuuming. Never stop being you. Cheers to 150k & a great year ahead! 🎉
Thank you
Huge congratulations to you on this milestone and for creating such an amazing space for Disney lovers! Your videos are always both informative and a lot of fun. I look forward to them every week! May the memories of these last eight years inspire you to keep creating and doing what you love. And Thank you for sharing the special confetti pop with us 🎉❤🥲 Best wishes always 🍁
Thank you!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉 you deserve millions ❤
Thank you!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Chris! Also, thank you for sharing a piece of your past with us! Hopefully, releasing that confetti cannon was cathartic for you. We hope 2024 brings your heart everything it needs. 💖
Thank you, Jarrod
Congratulations Chris! So proud of you! You are such a kind and genuine person. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
The family all had a bit of a cry when we watched this. ❤ Congratulations 🎉 You helped us get through the Covid boredom and gave us invaluable advice when we finally got back there. Thank you so much 😊

You deserve so much more! You're amazing!! 🎉❤
Thank you, Denise
Awww yay!! Congrats! We all love you!❤
Thank you, Allie!
Oh Chris, the ending made me cry! John would be so proud of all you've accomplished. We just got back from our Japan fortnight including 5 total park days between Disney and USJ and your videos helped our family so much (hilariously my son in America - we're Australian - is a Kris, so it got really confusing for my husband when I kept saying "now Chris said we should do this ride at night", and "Chris really recommended this place to eat". I had to switch to saying 'TDR Chris' ;-) ).
We looked out for you at every new place but sadly didn't cross paths - hopefully on a future trip!! Wishing you an amazing 2024 and thank you again for all you do!
Thank you
I’m so glad you did share the belated 100,000 video. How lovely and bittersweet at the same time. I hope to get to Japan in the next two years and your videos are the reason I will be including Tokyo Disney in my itinerary.
Thank you so much for watching and the support, Norma!
Thank you for all the fantastic content this year. I’ve loved it all. Can’t wait for all the new stuff in 24. Have wonderful new year and may 2024 bring you joy and happiness xx
Thank you, Paula! I can't wait to share content with you this year
Me crying while you talk about your late partner and then laughing as you are vacuuming 😂. Thank you for your wonderful and uplifting content!
Nothing like a little bit of emotional whiplash, haha. I tend to do that to help lighten the mood if I can. Thank you for watching and being here and supporting me!
Congratulations!!!
You’re as close to perfect as it gets and I am so ridiculously excited for you! You have so much to give to the world and I’m glad you’re sharing your excitement, knowledge and YOUNESS with us. You’re so wonderful. ❤
Thank you, Gina

You are our favorite Disney/Adventure Tokyo insider adult ever. You say all the things I tend to say in Tokyo. The cuteness overload is real.

(The last part of the video with you vacuuming cracked me up, especially the "I'll be cleaning this up for a year comment." LOL!
Thank you so much, Cindy! Hahah, someone had to clean it up and since I made the mess it only made sense. I was finding confetti for days afterwards in random places.
Congratulations, Chris! 🥳🎉 I'm still currently planning my trip to Tokyo for May 2024! My mom using your guidebook to plan the trip!
