this is what it's like to stay at a
tokyo disney hotel with your family
[Music]
so this video is a special one for me
because today is my son's
first birthday and i wanted to take all
of you
along on this special moment and share
with you everything that happens
with us on this trip but before i start
if you guys want to see what i'm doing
on the daily then definitely check out
my instagram account if you guys want to
help support the channel
check out the tokyo merch and if you
guys have any questions about japan or
japan travels
then definitely check out the discord
community that all said
let's start from the beginning
tokyo disney resort is located in
maihama chiba
just east of tokyo metropolitan area we
live in the shibuya area so it takes
about 50 minutes by train to get there
and as you can see we'll be still
getting used to the ride
[Music]
since we're staying at the hotel
miracosta inside of disneysea we're
stopping by the welcome center located
just outside of the jr myhama station to
pick up our three-day pass for the
disney resort monorail train loop which
from here
will take us directly to disneysea oh
and you can also drop off your luggage
there and they'll deliver to your room
later in the evening
but since we only have one piece we'll
just bring it with us
tokyo disney resort
one of the reasons why we chose disney
sea and hotel miracosta is that it's the
only tokyo disney hotel
directly connected to the park and with
the one year old we're looking for all
of the conveniences we can get
so this is pretty crazy there is
literally
no one here i feel like we've literally
just kind of like
rented this whole entire place to
ourselves well at least we haven't got
into the park but just
looking around right now there is no one
here
[Music]
what happened oh so he just went crazy
at the countdown
oh yeah my right arm is dying
[Music]
so the room that we're staying in is on
the porto paradiso side of the hotel
the superior room piazza view which is
basically a twin room with a park view
we asked the hotel to put the beds
together in advance so all three of us
could sleep together which is the way
wolfie's been preferring to sleep these
days
and if you need you can also ask for bed
railing by the way the room didn't offer
baby amenities so we brought our own
baby soap
and other toiletries also dish soap and
sponges for his bottles but they did
hook us up with this nifty diaper
disposal bag
you okay
we arrived at the room at about 4 p.m so
we decided to get the party started off
right and let wolfie go for his birthday
cake right away
just before his dinner time
how you doing it looks like preparing to
get rid of a
body okay
we have the cake here the one that would
make it on
time was this big size
the hotel doesn't allow guests to bring
outside food but we told them in advance
about his birthday and they gave us
permission to bring a birthday cake
where do you like your birthday hat okay
happy birthday to you yay
happy birthday hey honey sit here it's
his first time having smash cake so he's
a bit unsure about it
i guess he wants us to try first
thank you
oh look at that
[Music]
not yet
look at that all clean how is this so
far michael
[Music]
how is it so far at the hotel a little
bit stressful
no i need to prepare his food
[Music]
it's really hot i think you turn on the
heater
yeah it's pretty strange
[Music]
apparently the nursing room on the lobby
floor has a microwave so
michael could warm up wolfy's food
[Music]
i like it
so this is the initial check-in period
um it's been a little bit more
challenging that we thought first of all
the cake that he was supposed to eat
we thought he was gonna love and just
like dig into it but
he just didn't take a liking to it as
much as we thought but still
it was fun anyways he got to like a few
and like take all that cake in
and now we're trying to feed him again
this is kind of like out of his
comfort zone he's used to sitting and
eating at home
michael's prepared meals this is like a
special
to go take out like microwavable dish
that michael got
we've been trying to give it to him for
the last week to get him ready for this
particular moment this time since he
doesn't have his chair and he's not in
his like regular setting
he just doesn't want to sit down and he
wants to just kind of like stand just
like this
but i guess yeah that's it uh we're kind
of excited we are
literally right in front of disney sea
like
you're distracted when you talk okay so
i'm gonna cut it
here he needs to finish his food and
yeah we'll leave it here
sorry wolfie
[Music]
we got room service
[Music]
right
[Music]
it's so close dude
[Music]
that's daddy's sock oh yeah gonna give
me my sock
thank you what time did you wake up this
morning like
5 30 40
when he woke up are you tired i'm sleepy
but
what about you i'm okay i slept well
yeah yeah disney opens at 10 o'clock
today so
well we gotta feed him at eight and put
him to sleep at
nine he usually wakes up at 10. good
morning y'all it is wolfy's birthday
yay so it is seven o'clock in the
morning and
before the park opens we're just gonna
take a little walk because he wants to
see this place unfortunately we can't
enter the park until
10. yeah i know we're gonna go out we're
gonna go so
we're just gonna walk around a little
bit
okay okay okay we'll go
[Music]
so we have about an hour to kill go
sleeping so we're just gonna
go around a little bit
[Music]
resort liner is now arriving please stay
clear
while mommy sleeps wolfie and i'll take
a look around japan this is kind of what
him and i do every morning these days
[Music]
we are now arriving
[Music]
so now we have a few hours before the
park opens at 10 later than normal due
to covert but it's perfect for us since
we still need to feed wolfie and give
him his morning nap
which will also give us time to prepare
so quickly before we continue on i want

good morning
it was a birthday boy
how was your birthday boy yeah
can i put it on your shirt this is your
birthday card from
mickey yes that's not mickey
and then you also got a sticker
do you want to put it on
[Music]
so the hotel presented wolfie with a
birthday sticker so when you walk around
the park
every time a disney cast member sees it
they greet him with a happy birthday
which is pretty cool
so we just got through the gate it is
so so empty right now at the park it's
pretty crazy
[Music]
this is amazing so much fun can you even
even sunny
the whole month was raining i kept on
saying that it was supposed to rain
today
right i am so happy
there's our room over there
[Music]
it's pretty crazy it's 10 30 right now
and there's no one here it's just us and
a few other people which is pretty cool
so
oh the family's over here if you haven't
noticed by now
just by looking at the crowds going on
wolfie's birthday was a bit special
since the park is limiting the number of
park guests which is why there's barely
anyone at the park and
probably safer than walking around
shibuya's crowded streets so he didn't
have to wait for rides
at all on the day dad being dead though
didn't remember how twenty thousand
leaks under the sea ride was like
and thought it'd be calming ride
watching fish under the ocean
well we quickly found out that something
wasn't right when the alarms and
flashing orange lights
started going off
sorry wolfie i guess we'll always
remember your first ride at disney
[Music]
after that we decided to play it a
little safe and let him walk around the
aladdin area
and just enjoy the sights well michael
and wolfie look like they're having fun
walking around
[Music]
so what do you want to do we need to go
change this diaper
also he needs to be fed he's gonna go
dead
since the baby centers were far from
here we decided to use a multi-function
bathroom in the area so there are two
baby centers in disney sea
one at mermaid lagoon and the other is
right next to the miracosta park
entrance here's the general lay of the
land
if you're interested
[Music]
oh what did you find here we are we are
at
one of the restaurants here this is
aladdin's i forgot the name of this cafe
we brought wolfies food we're having
some lassie here and just kind of
hanging out
one thing to note is that these places
do have high chairs but i think
it's still a little bit too big for
wolfie like there's not a lot of
backing to it so i mean it works we just
need to put like a little bit of padding
just behind it
okay i guess wolfie wants to feed me
stickers now let's do this and then move
on
this is the mermaid lagoon the little
mermaid themed area
probably the best kid-friendly zone in
the park it has rides for the little
ones
and even kids merchandise you really
like pink huh he likes to pink
[Music]
okay so we are back at the hotel it is
super nice being
this close he needs to take a nap maybe
for a couple hours if we had to go at a
different hotel then he would have to
like get on the tram
and then just like travel a little bit
but we are just like seriously on a
disney sea property
so it's pretty pretty convenient um put
him to sleep and then after he wakes up
again
then we'll take him back out so i should
mention in order for us to have a place
for wolfie to take his two hour
afternoon nap on the park day we had to
book two nights at the hotel cause
disney is limiting park entrance during
covid if we stayed only one night can
only get park tickets for the day we
checked out so we decided to book two
nights
a little more expensive than we had
anticipated but hey we had to yolo for
wolfy's first birthday
so after he woke up i was just gonna
take it and go out yeah
and then i realized that i have to feed
milk so i made this
and then he spilled all the water on his
shirt so i've changed him
in diaper and then forgot to bring your
sweater so you pack your sweater and
everything
let's get some of this hey dude how you
feeling
yeah you're good
we are back on the prowl when you're
here with the baby
he has to take naps he was steeped in
later so
you don't get to enjoy disneyland as
much but still it's pretty awesome just
being able to kind of like hang out with
him
and show him this new world
the rest of the day we took it easy
walked around the park and let wolfie
take it all in
you want to get on wolfie
[Music]
okay
so it's funny recently with wolfie if
you
like say are you okay he starts to cough
because i think
are you okay
[Music]
so right there that is a trick constant
snacks throughout the day
throughout the day when he gets fussy
yeah
[Music]
all right so i think we're just gonna
end it here we are having dinner at the
hotel
aside from eating in your hotel room
this is probably the easiest place to
eat
inside of hotel miracosta there's an
italian restaurant overlooking the park
a mediterranean buffet and a chinese
restaurant guess which one we went for
okay it looks like wolfie is set to go
