I spent the day at Tokyo Disneyland to partake in the new winter event, Minnie’s Funderland! 🎀 This event is happening from January 10 through March 29, 2024. This park day visit was on January 15, 2024, when the crowds were lower since it was the start of the off-season and was pretty cold outside!

Do you think one day we could get a tour of your Disney merchandise collection at home? Show casing all the relics, dishes, etc. you've collected over the years? I think it would be really beautiful to see what you consider the best items you've collected over the years and any fun/interesting stories connected to the souvenirs! I'm sure alot of other fans would love a video like that too!
Everything is so cutesy and pink, as a lover of the color pink I can confidently say that the entire park looks like pink heaven
I am constantly blown away by the attention to detail in Tokyo Disney and the distinct and elevated food offerings. Definitely a bucket list item for me to visit hopefully in the near future 😊
Why did I read the title as "for Minnie's funeral" the first time omg... I really hope they have those lemon cheese waffles at DisneySea too!

Lmao I read it like that too💀😂
I really appreciate that you take the time to blur out people in the background. It's very considerate!
I keep thinking this scoring system is out of 10, and keep mentally gasping every time I hear Chris review one of these foods! Lol, it's totally my fault and I fail it each time! Also, I'm always impressed by how the Disney Staff can get these event decor up, up quickly, and with so many details.
I went to Disneyland (Tokyo) for the very first time ever in December 2023! Of course it was the best day of my life! But the QUEUES omg 😵
I’ve been really looking forward to this video, I love Minnie Mouse 🎀 ! The food looked delicious omg, I get so excited for the seasonal waffle every time! The merch is so darling, I loved all the keychains. Pooh’s Hunny Hunt is such a gorgeous ride. Your hat is so cute btw! Glad you had a fun winter day 🩷❄️
❤❤❤ Japan has some of the best looking stuff not just at disney
Love the way you do your videos! Very polite and inviting. I also love the way you include your cameraman in your videos by talking about him or her. It’s nice to be acknowledged.
I always want a waffle after watching you eat one. Lol Sorry if that sounded strange. Also, Minnie's outfit on the stickers and clearfile was so adorable. ❤❤
Love your paddington bear coat!

I was thinking the same! Adorable!🥰
33:41 penguin Chris! I adore your reactions eating things and this one was really adorable
The excitement for the ice cream ❤ The blankets at the restaurant remind me of when I got caught in a downpour in Japan 5 years ago. The hostess flagged me in to the restaurant, I sat down and ordered some food(I was hungry anyways), and she brought me a blanket which was such a nice touch
Minnie is my favorite character. I can't attend this event but I'm happy to see all the offerings 💖💝
Just love your energy
Nevermind Pluto: look at that brilliant blue sky!!!!!
I love Minnie ❤ love that they are celebrating Minnie
The aqua/teal and pink for Minnie's event is so perfect! Definitely one of my favorite color combos. 🩷
ミニーのファンダーランド すごくピンクで可愛いですよね!🩷
The waffle! It looks so good. I'm sure I'll add a bunch more comments bc so far? this little bit is so fun.

19:24 Not at all Chris you always bring fun and informative videos and we wouldn't want it any other way
The tote bag is so cute! I like tote bags and candy in the store so far
I love those collar pins as there were basically so many of these at Disneyland/ Disneysea that it's difficult to try and collect all of them and it makes you stand inside their stores for a long while if you are contemplating which designs to really buy. I used to buy them at 800 yen too and haven't been to both parks for some years! Hope I can withstand the temptation to get many of them on my next visit! XDD
We will be there in 4 weeks. So excited and hoping it will be a little warmer by then as we are travelling from summer in AUS

Oh Chris I absolutely love all the decor for Minnie, and so excited to purchase both guide book for this year since I'm hoping to visit this year.
New decs are very valentines aswell to be honest. So they've achieved a double wammy. Love your content and look forward to every one of them ❤❤❤❤
I swear by the vest too! Best way to stay warm
Thanks for the free chapter, so super useful at the moment! Looking forward to the updated guides & the newsletter. Think we’re actually doing this trip in 2025, want to be as prepped as possible. ❤️ your vlogs Chris, they’ve been comfort watching for a long long time, & maybe now we get to plan a visit! 🤗
Growing up we had cake n ice cream on our birthday plates and ate both with a spoon. Thanks for that little memory❤😊
You braved the cold! 🥶 Glad you still had a good time and your last meal was better than the ones earlier in the day.
Disneyland Tokyo is another level. 😊
Love these types of chill videos lol
I feel like the Tokyo parks have way more festivals or events than any of the other parks lol
I was just watching some of your videos on my lunch break today at work! Thank you for giving us a detailed tour of Japan Tokyo/Universal!
I KNEW YOU WERE CANADIAN! lol. When you called them smarties. Wasn’t sure incase Japan sold smarties. Until you mentioned Alberta Canada. Fun fact… I am actually going to get a personal shopper to get me that Pooh honey and ship it to me in Ontario. Lol! It’s a cute bottle. I have watched a few of your videos over this past year. But recently became a subscriber to your channel. Sorry it took me so long. :)
Fabulous as always Chris
I absolutely LOVE the ears!! That would easily cost $35-40 in the U.S. 😅
I am constantly amazed by how cheap everything is there! And so much cuter 😍 at WDW the prices would be 2-3x more. There's no way you could get those muffins and desserts for $7.50. It would be AT LEAST $15 😭
Look forward to your content!! Thank you for all you do ❤
Happy new year! I love all the souvenir items you can get in Tokyo Disney, I'd need a whole extra suitcase for everything I'd get there.
I loved the Bow Blanket❤❤❤ And the food at Grandma Sarah's Kitchen was right up my alley! Yum! Also, the Hot Orange Drink, hmmmmm❤
Love ❤️ the decorations for this event!
I think you should start selling your own mousse. It has become such a thing on your channel. The TDR mousse🤣
You’re hilarious. Love from Cali ❤️ Gonna be there in 4 weeks :D
I love looking at bags and home goods when I shop Disney 🙂
I remember that in one of your past videos you showed that Tokyo Disney now sells packets of hot sauce/harisa. Why not store 1-2 packets in the candy toybox (the ones that come with a small pack of smarties in them) so that whenever you feel that something you ordered is bland you always have the Disney "spicy upgrade" option stashed in your bag. 😉 It would also be a helpful tip for the new subscribers who like spicy food.
Chris .. you looking really healthy and happy. Your skin is glowing. ❤ love this video. Well done
Thanks for the coverage! The special food looks outstanding, especially that set at Plaza Pavilion.
YUM. so many good food options! I wanna try that pastrami sanger. All the flavoured drinks look so yummy to!
Thank you for your videos and the tips! I’m finally going to Japan and the Tokyo Disney parks next month. I want to get plush keychains and clear files. 😄
I use the little cups when I cook. For when you need a bit of water or mixing thickeners, melting butter etc.
So jealous, this event looks really cute! Hopefully will be going to Japan again soon, and will definitely be planning a Disney trip while I’m there! Tokyo Disney and Disney Sea are my favorite parks by far!
❤❤❤ i feel like i was there! You’re a great guide
Omg a dream ❤
Soo cute
Ok I seriously need to hang out with you one day at Disneyland. Tokyo or Anaheim you name it!
Counting down the days, heading back in march the 26th to japan ^^
I think the whipped cheese ice cream is probably like cheesecake filling, the same with the lemon and cheese waffle
Yum.
Watching you eating, drinking and enjoying time there during this cold and windy month makes me so jelly, Chris No popcorn bucket just like X-mas last month? Peace from Tochigi
I never realized the Samus is so UwU
Chris I’m waiting for a pin video! I’ve been watching you for years and I’m obsessed but waiting to see what pins the parks usually have!
The event looks really cute, the colors are very much a vibe. Though, wondering about the name...is it a combination of Fun and Friends...?? Thanks for All your hard work ❤!
OMG SO EARLY HEHEH
I am weird, but I LOOOOOVE pressed coin machines. Would you want to do a video on covering some of the new/unique designs?
May I ask where you purchase the admission ticket at Disney or online ?
I hope they do something for Donald this June. He’s turning 90 this year.
Those are relatively long wait times for a January week day. Perhaps because it’s a Monday and a nice day for January.
Idea for the mugs, put pens or pencils in them and change them every season like you do the plates.
I keep trying to get the Sherpa, Mickey hat. Everytime my cousin goes there it's sold out😢. I wish I'd bought a tomika tdl bus or train when I was there. It's so cute. I loved the plush hats and the ursula eel bag! I should have gotten that also back in the day but I already had bought the hamburger backpack and coin purse 😅
What a fun event, love Minnie Mouse. The Winnie the pooh ride is so cute. I would get the pin and the plush from the gift shop
With the online ordering in the disney app, do you need a Japanese credit card?
Did you change your glasses? Nice new look ✨✨
i looove the color scheme of Minnie, pink, blue, white and purple is always a GREAT color combo, also reminds me of the trans flag☺🏳⚧, the food also looked so DELICIOUS as always s2s2
Muffin with icing? Sounds like a cupcake to me

A muffin and cupcake are different
I'm curious, did you get to taste Disneyland Paris, France, Mickey waffle? Because I went to TDL in early january and I like the french one better now!!!
> Never cared much for Minnie .....- The Polka Dots are just a bit too much ! - -- lol -- --- But really now --- \ Luv u Chris ! -
It’s Minnie funderland valentine event coming to USA
Does this mean that theres no more merch for the 40th anniversary? 😢
I put plants in cups I don't use. Or even fake succulents
Is Minnie funderlander the same event as totally Minnie event but with a different name?
So because Christmas isn't a holiday in Japan, does that mean the Disney parks are open on Christmas Day?
I wish ears in the states were as affordable as Tokyo.
Love you your videos & content ! I know your stuff is mostly Disney but just curious would you ever do like Pokemon content ???
Grandma Sara like 👀
interesting
5500 yen for that tote bag? it is so so so cute so i would totally get it, but isn’t 5500 a lil expensive?! that’s roughly 40 usd…
I'm assuming sometimes the cheese is just cheese and sometimes the cheese is cream cheese?
45:06 is there so much cheese is because Minnie Mouse is a mouse who probably loves cheese?
would you say that going to Japan in Nov 2024 is a good idea? a few videos I've seen have said NOT TO GO, cuz you wont get in, because of the new park expansion. its becoming a bit discouraging. HELP! I love your videos and trust your input. is this a bad idea or will we be ok?
May I request you make a video for halal food in Disneyland If it’s not too much to ask 😅 or at least a vegetarian version 😢
Do u buy any Disney merchandise & sell it to ur fans on your KZread channel?
Do you think this event with Minnie will continue into the summer (June)?

I heard that it’s going to be a different Pal Palooza. I’m really hoping it’s Donald, since he’s turning 90 this June, and OLC tends to do special stuff for him on those special milestone years.

The little sugar balls are called draggys
Minnies Funderland looks like a valentines day celebration. surprised that wdw and dl anaheim havent copied this.
あぁ…英語が得意じゃないのであなたの感想を全て理解できないのが残念です😢 東京ディズニーリゾートを楽しんでくれている姿がとても嬉しいです。
I have heard that guests staying at the NEW Fantasy Springs hotel will be allowed to skip the queue and just ride over and over again if they wish!. Several You-Tubers are saying don't visit in 2024, you WON'T get in. What are your views on this and will 2025 be any better?. I was thinking May 2025.

There's a special one-day ticket for Fantasy Springs Hotel Guests that allow them to skip the lines for Fantasy Springs attractions. It's a bit confusing, so I also have a breakdown on our website: tdrexplorer.com/tokyo-disneysea-expansion-fantasy-springs/
