After visiting both Nintendo Worlds in Japan and Hollywood, I feel that both parks are better in their own ways. In Japan, there is a lot more different activities to do, with more variety of different foods that are way better than Hollywood's Toadstool Cafe (Except for the Burgers, Hollywood does them better), they also have their own unique headbands which japan's headbands are better, while hollywood's shirts and hats are better. And rides like Mario Kart, compared to Hollywood, takes less time to line up for than in Hollywood. If you are lucky, you can get in to Japan's Nintendo World as early as 7:30am in the morning. However, unlike Hollywood, there are some days where you MUST book a Timed Entry Ticket (Virtual Line) in order to get to the park, and sometimes you must go to a specialized kiosk to book them. Meeting mascots (except Toad) is much stricter, due to the fact that unlike Hollywood, you are not allowed to have your phone to take pictures with mascots, you must stand in a specific position when you meet mascots, you must pose how the mascot poses for pictures, and you must pay 6000 yen for pictures. While in Hollywood, it's just you interacting with the mascot, the staff are allowed to use your phone for picture taking, and you are allowed to greet the mascots with how you like to greet them (plushies). When I met Peach in Japan, the line takes longer compared to Hollywood (30 minutes in Japan). And she would just interact with the staff member every time and only interact with me based on what the staff tells her to do for the first 30 seconds of the meet and greet to fill in that time. When I even tried to greet her with my plushies, she just ignores them. When I met Peach in Hollywood the line is way shorter (2-15 minutes), and she is even willing to get to know more of my different plushies, and with Toadette being her favourite, she would always be happy to hold her and hug her for the picture-taking. The meet and greet is straight to the point and no nonsense.

Heya Eileen! Love the video and thanks so much for the tips! You're partially one of the reasons why I'm so excited for my upcoming trip. I was wondering if I was carrying a backpack with me which is big enough for a gimbal and a mirrorless camera, would I be able to take the rides? Would they have lockers big enough to fit a backpack in each ride or should I just forget about making a cinematic vlog there?

From my experience, I didn’t need the express pass. Initially we wanted to buy the express pass and decided against it when we saw the price 😅. But again, I went on a rainy weekday in April. If no timed entrance ticket is required, I ASSUME, that’s an indicator that the park won’t be SUPER busy, and most likely wont need the express pass.
Hello Eileen. So if I get an express pass am allowed to experience all the rides for free and others which are mentioned in my pass in express line? Or should I get a one day pass in addition to an express pass?

Hello, It may sound stupid but, With a studio pass (park entry ticket) I can get on any ride without additional expenses, I just gonna have to queue for the rides. Am I right?
@eileensworld
9 ай бұрын
Greetings 🖖, that is correct. With a regular Studio Pass (normal ticket) you can ride any ride without extra fees. If you don’t want to wait in the regular line, you can buy an Express Pass (on top of the Studio Pass) which will allow to ride SELECTED rides (popular ones) using the Express Pass line, which will be a lot shorter than a normal line. Not all rides have an Express Pass line. USJ sells different Express Passes with different combinations of rides and the price will vary depending on how many ride your pass includes.
