This is Tokyo Disneyland after reopening
It's mid July here in Tokyo, it is super super hot
And in the last video I took you guys all around Tokyo to show you what it's really like
But in this video I wanted to specifically take you to Tokyo Disneyland and show you what it's really like to be honest
I'm a bit surprised that Tokyo Disneyland Disney sea is back open but like many other places in Tokyo
Like museums and other amusement parks
It has opened but before I start if you guys want to see what i'm doing on the daily
Definitely check out my instagram account if you want to help support the channel
Check out the Japan merch if you have any questions about japan, check out my discord community
So without further ado, let me show you inside Tokyo Disneyland. Let's go!
First of all, let's talk about getting into the park in order to buy tickets for Tokyo Disneyland in Tokyo
Disney sea, you actually have to buy it online
You can't actually buy it when you arrive here
and when you purchase the tickets online
They'll ask you to enter all of your personal information
That way if there's anything that happens while you're at the park
They can contact you afterwards and also at this time they're limiting attendance if you just look around
There's actually not a lot of people
In the park comparatively speaking the way they do this is that they limit obviously the tickets that are being sold
But they actually offer several different passes now. They have a full day pass
They have a pass that starts from 11am and then they have a pass that starts from 2pm and overall the park now
Opens at eight and closes at eight which limits the overall operation throughout the day
This is what Tokyo Disneyland looks like at the main entrance five minutes just before opening at 8 am
It seems like a lot of people from a far
But it's actually much less since everyone is adhering to social distancing lines
Marked on the ground compared to the number of guests. I see on regular days
There's only a fraction of people today as you watch this video
Let me know in the comments if you think Tokyo Disneyland is taking enough precautions what they're doing, right?
What you think they can improve on and if you'd feel comfortable being a guest during this time?
And then when you finally get to the park, they actually take your temperature making sure that you're not above
37.5 degrees and finally to enter the park you have to wear a mask
So this entire time I will be wearing a mask
And if you didn't bring a mask, they actually sell masks right at the front for a hundred yen
And if you need a smaller size for children
They actually have character masks that you can buy at the store right at the entrance
First of all, just as all park guests are required to wear masks all the Disney cast members are wearing masks as well
And the staff working in food services were wearing gloves along with many of the shop staff working at the registers
Also there seems to be an overwhelming amount of cast members throughout the park cautioning guests to maintain
Social distance I saw them as signs even at the train station and on the monorail just outside of the park now
Let's look around a little bit more
Now when you get into the park, you'll find that the staff are quite proactive about social distancing. They limit people into the attractions
They limit people into the shops and they limit people into the restaurants inside of the park social distance and safety precautions were quite clear
Starting at the park entrance
there were dots on the ground marking where individuals could watch shows tables at the cafeterias were limited as well as
Benches there were even social distancing lines marked off just in front of the bathrooms
at souvenir shops
Some of the multiple entrance shops were closed off and cats were standing at the one open entrance so that they could organize
A number of people going inside the shop also had designated exit locations
So people leaving and entering didn't run into each other
Also restaurant entrances were managed by a staff member and social distance lines marked accordingly
Finally I get to take my mask off having a drink at the restaurant right here
You can see that the tables are properly social distance
And while I take this drink, I wanted to give a quick shout out to our sponsor for this video today
Mobile Japan sim with their support is making these times a little bit easier for myself my wife and our new baby
I know that many of you aren't able to travel to Japan right now
But wherever you are sims are actually a useful tool especially during these times when we're thinking about safety
And keeping in touch with the ones we love but when you finally make it to Japan
Mobile Japan sim is the best way to stay connected for short trips and longer stays when you're using Mobile Japan sim
You can easily navigate to all your destination spots
Find the best transport links translate phrases or menus or update your social media with all the cool things you're doing in Japan
Here are my top reasons why you should go with a Mobile
Japan, sim card one mobile offer free worldwide shipping directly to your front door two
You can choose to pick up the sim here in Japan at major airports and cities all throughout
Japan, three great coverage using the same network provider. I personally use softbank which covers
99% of Japan's population. So get your mobile sim card today by clicking on the link in the description below and stay connected
Alright breaks over time to put the mask back on and show you the rest of Tokyo Disneyland.
One thing that gave me a piece of mind is the regular cleaning and sanitation
Hand sanitizers were basically everywhere like at the entrance of the attractions as well as the exit of the attraction
All shops and restaurants. Also I saw staff cleaning trash bins very thoroughly throughout the day
Which I've never seen before plus the cleaning staff took extra measures to clean the benches and attractions regularly
These days Disney encourages guests to make cashless transactions when purchasing foods and goods to minimize contact additionally
They now use a tray for any interactions with guests and have a clear shield between the guest and cast also
I don't recall having to use a pin code when using my credit card so I could avoid touching a keypad that
Probably been touched by thousands of customers just before me
So let's talk about overall service. The park itself is running at about 80 percent capacity
Not all but some wagon services are closed as well as some small shops and attractions
Like Goofy's paint and playhouse. So you really need to check beforehand if you're really looking forward to an attraction
And because you're limiting the amount of guests at the park the ride lines are super short
You've been getting them one of the most popular rides for about five to ten minutes standby weight
For example a monster Inc only had a 10 minute wait space mountain also only had a 10 minute wait
Haunted mansion was 13 minutes while buzz lightyear's astro blasters. Only had a 5 minute wait
It was kind of eerie being able to walk straight to the front of the line with barely any weight
Since basically there were no lines at the attractions fast fast was closed for the day
I was actually able to ride a space mountain and buzz lightyear back to back in less than 30
Minutes another thing. I should mention is new attractions like beauty and the beast which was scheduled to open April 15th of this year had been postponed
However, you can still kind of see the castle and the buildings from outside with potted plants acting as a barrier for that area
Also a majority of the shows and parades have been canceled
So for example the parade today
The only thing that's actually going on is the one in the morning and the one in the evening at six o'clock
And for the parades that were canceled guess you'll need to keep the social distance followed by markers on the ground
So overall given the current situation. I personally felt a bit safer walking around took to Disneyland when compared to walking around in Tokyo
Eating at its restaurants and maybe even riding the subway, but that's just me. What do you guys think?
Let me know in the comments. Also, do you think opening amusement parks like Disneyland would work in your country?
Oh!
Alright, so as I take a drink break I'm gonna close it out right here
