Tokyo DisneySea is without a doubt the pinnacle of theme park design and the fact that it exists at all is a miracle, with us almost getting a lacklustre studio theme park instead of the meticulously designed seven-seas masterpiece.

Yes. I was in Toyko Disney Resort in 2017 and damn DisneySea is on another level. It's truly perfect. I'm looking forward to visit this place again in some years. It's just unbelievable and no Video or Picture can really capture the Scale and Beauty of this Park🥰
Man, you guys kill it every single time. Keep up the great work on your videos about the history of parks.
Such a wonderful park! I live in Tokyo and visit Disney Sea at least once a year. It is absolutely stellar. Even their version of Soaring is MUCH better than the American versions with a wonderful theme and backstory. I am curious about the new expansion that will add Peter Pan, Tangled and Frozen. I hope it's not another Epcot situation where the park eventually loses its vision due to shoehorned movie IPs.
Favourite park!! I wasn’t able to get on too many rides with it being extremely busy, but like you say, it’s nice enough just to walk around all day!
I’d love to see Disneyland Paris Resort expand even more like this
Absolute bucket list item for me
I haven’t been to any other Disney parks except the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World (Of course this one was when I was little), but I would like to see other Disney parks around the world. So, I can know what to expect and what not to expect.
OLC should take over the American parks. They can start with Disneyland Tomorrowland.
Thank you for another great video, Y’all. Tokyo Disney Sea videos are my favorite. I’ve been to the TDR 4 times , twice during the 35th anniversary celebrations, and have loved it more and more every single time.
Thank you so much for this great video. I loved every minute of it!
I have visited the Tokyo Disneyland Resort on three separate vacations so far. I was planning to visit it even more but the blasted covid-19 pandemic delayed my vacation plans unfortunately. I loved Tokyo Disneyland but DisneySea completely blew me away every time that I visited it.
I was watching DisneySea's progress from afar (I'm in California) since it was first announced and I was so afraid that my overhyped expectations would set me up for epic disappointment when I first visited the park in 2016. My lofty expectations not only were met, they were completely blown out of the water! Just when I started to lose faith in The Walt Disney Company being able to create a theme park where high quality for the guests is the most important factor, I found out that that concept is still alive and well at a Disney theme park…I just had to go all the way to Japan to experience it.
My suggestion is that if you are a Disney theme park fan you must, must, absolutely MUST visit DisneySea. There is no other Disney theme park like it. This video does a fantastic job of showing how incredible DisneySea is but to be totally honest, no video can do justice to the quality of DisneySea and the park simply must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. I will warn you that once you go there, your expectations for any other Disney theme park will set a bit higher and you will notice how the other parks are just not quite up to your new higher standard. (Note that I cannot comment on how this "increased standard" effects Disneyland Paris or Walt Disney Studios because, unfortunately, I have not been to the parks in France yet. Hopefully I will be going to them soon though.)
I just wish that the heads of the US Disney theme parks would go to DisneySea and take notes on how to successfully manage a theme park in a way that does not alienate (or flat-out upset) your most loyal guests. It seems that the US parks go out of their way to purposely not borrow ideas from the Japanese parks and that is a shame. In my opinion a good idea is a good idea, no matter where it originally came from. This is just my 100% pure speculation since I do not work for The Walt Disney Company in any way, thank goodness, but I suspect that the guys in charge at the US parks do not borrow from Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea because they feel that the two Japanese parks are inferior because they are not "The Original" or "The Biggest." That arrogance is a shame for the most important people in the equation…the guests. As I said, that is just my pure speculation though and I really do not have any idea why the US parks continually ignore the Japanese ones.
I did not know that the second gate park for The Tokyo Disneyland Resort was going to be yet another Hollywood movie studio type park like Disney-MGM Studios. Movie studio type theme parks were absolutely revolutionary and changed the theme park landscape…back in 1964 when Universal Studios first opened to the public in Southern California. The concept had become so tiresome and overdone by the time it was suggested to OLC. Thank goodness the guys at OLC turned that old and stale idea down! The Walt Disney Company did not follow OLC's lead when it became their time to develop a second gate park next to Disneyland Paris. (I will save my opinions about Walt Disney Studios for after I visit it for the first time.)
Thank you again for the excellent video. It will have to keep my appetite for DisneySea under control until I can finally visit the park again.
I’ve been blessed enough to visit all 12 global Disney parks, and Disney Sea is my favorite… so I agree with you it was fantastic! Can’t wait to take my kids one day!
I live in Japan so I tend to go to Disney at least a couple times a year (pre pandemic)
Every time I go to TDS I find something I haven’t seen before. It’s astounding. Can’t wait for the expansion!!!
This park is on my bucket list. Just like with Magic Kingdom, I know I'll cry as soon as I step on the property because I'm so happy
That kid in that commercial sounded like hi my name is Spencer and I am dying ( instead of I am 9)
I went a few years ago and I can’t wait to go back. Definitely the best theme park I’ve been to anywhere. We went during the Halloween villain season and spent one of our three days doing a good tour. There’s a lot of great themed food.
After Disneyland in California, Tokyo DisneySEA is my favorite Disney Park in the world! It feels utterly unique but absolutely with the magic of being transported into a new and fantastical world! It’s a beautiful park down to the walkways! Compass of Your Heart for Sinbad is iconic! And I have never been more fascinated by simple walls than in the Mermaid Lagoon! I’ll be making a beeline for the park when Japan reopens to tourists!
DCA 1.0, WDSP, & DisneySea back-to-back-to-back….YEESH. If that ain't widest range of developments from one company you've ever seen 😂😂
Man Disneysea is one of the best parks in in the world but I love USF, USJ, and EPCOT.
My thought on TDS: same as you, best theme park in the world. I have visited it once and all I dream is to come back there and spend several days in it to explore more. I am just waiting for the new fantasy springs extension to go back because japan is far from where I live and expensive. Btw i live in France and when I see videos on TDS and think of what we get as the second gate, I am crying inside ^^. We got the best castle park though, too bad that the European were not ready for it ^^
Tokyo disneyland will do their 20th anniversary grand finale soon.!!! I sure liked that place.!!
10:32 I've Been To Tokyo Disneyland Resort's Tokyo DisneySea Theme Park In Tokyo Japan Back In April 2018 And Met Some Of Those Cast And Crew Teams From Disney's The Little Mermaid And Disney's The Lion King And It Was Super Awesome. Thanks Mate. X
I've been to Disney SEA 5 years ago. It is as you say the best. Thank you for the great video. There are a couple of things that I noticed make the Japanese visitors really happy: Big Band Beat musical show and SS Columbia a full size ship filled with bars and restaurants and amazing views of Tokyo bay. -Frank
the first time I visited disneysea, I didn't really research much about it. all I know: run straight to get lottery ticket for disney big band beat (didn't win it), then to tower of terror and then to journey to the center of the earth (which unfortunately closed)
when I entered the gate? the reveal took my breath away, I couldn't believe what I saw. is that a mountain!? I fell in love with this theme park straight away.
I went to japan twice, and went to disneysea both times! didn't even consider of going to tokyo disneyland. I will do disneysea and disneyland the next time I visit japan
Great video! I love what they did with Tower of Terror at Disney Sea tying it in with the S.E.A. story that you can also find with Hong Kong's Mystic Manor (another fantastic ride). I agree you can totally spend a day just walking around Disney Sea exploring. The level of detail and theming is unlike any other park I've been to. Will definitely go back when the new lands open.
I went to the grand opening of DisneySea with virtually no planning. I bought my airline ticket rather last minute, and stayed at a "backpackers" hotel because my budget was pretty small. I did not even know if I would be able to get into the park, having had heard rumors that it was sold out. After queuing up early and after going through the gate, standing in Aquasphere Plaza, I cried.
I stayed in Tokyo a week, spending four days at DisneySea and Disneyland (I had visited TDL previously for its 10th anniversary). Is it the best theme park in the world? There is certainly an argument to be made. I would say that when I went to the grand opening of Disneyland Paris (then known as EuroDisney), it had the same level of attention to detail as TDS later got. But of course "best" is more than about the imagineering.
On my flight home, I met a Japanese couple who was on their way to WDW, and always wonder what happened to them, as the 9/11 attack occurred during their trip.
I went in 2019. I was awestruck. I still think about how beautiful this park is, truly the best of the Disney parks.
I also think about the cold noodles I had for dinner. Man, so delicious after a hot humid day! Yum!
I really want to visit but it sounds like it’s 10k minimum before you’d have a really great time there
Can’t wait to watch this, you should just become a straight up Disney sea channel 😂I wouldn’t mind!
I think the CEOs from the parks in the states need to go to Tokyo Disney sea because since galaxy's edge I have not really been impressed with anything except maybe guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind but even that could of been better
I have mixed feelings about Fantasy Springs, if only because it doesn't really continue to water theme (and the waterway wasn't routed into it) and seems more like an IP grab, which is what Disney has been doing everywhere else. DisneySea has weathered the (I assume required) increased inclusion of IP pretty decently, but Fantasy Springs is just a strange Fantasyland add-on that they decided to tack onto the park.
The worlds best theme park which most of the world will never visit, LOL.
Great information…thank you…I love Tokyo Disney Seas overall concept and archetypal merit!❤👍🤩😇
Really enjoy your video! Have you ever considered making a video about How OLC make the Disney Bear into Duffy and then became huge success? I think it would be interesting!
Sigh..one day. Great video!
I’ve been so fortunate enough to have been twice (2008 and 2017) and it’s everything an more. Videos are nice, but nothing compares to the in person park experience.
Ps. You should do a video in the TDS live shows and entertainment. Don’t forget the original Little Mermaid Show!
Was first at TDS in 2019 and was absolutely blown away. Growing up going to and working at WDW I was so excited to visit Tokyo and it didn’t disappoint. Just went a week ago and even the terrible heat and humidity didn’t ruin how amazing it was.
Tokyo DisneySea has always fascinated me and has been sitting at the top of my theme park bucket list ever since I first heard of it. The theming seems beyond incredible, and I love parks that you can just get lost in.
In a perfect world, Tokyo DisneySea, and the originally conceived complete versions of Disneyland Paris and Disney's Animal Kingdom are three parks in the greatest Disney resort ever.
Visited, really enjoyed it but they stopped the ride and told me off for having my umbrella up on Aquatopia cos it was raining!
I just like to believe that they gave the park designers a mountain of cocaine and told them to go nuts on the design
it’s weird to think that tokyo disneysea can legally drink alcohol in the us
Manifesting that they get a cool coaster one day 🙏 I know that everyone says this is the greatest theme park, but I think that an awesome coaster would get me to pull the trigger on going to DisneySea.
