Lining up at 3:30-9 am is crazy!! What an incredible husband & dad 🥺

" so, my husband left at 3:30 am..." , you can stop there, too expensive.

Japanese YEN is really cheap right now and the US dollars is very strong. So the currency difference can benefit you hugely.

We did the same thing. We decided if it’s less expensive to go to Japan than the mainland, that’s where we’re going. Tokyo Disney and Disney Sea wowed us!!!

Its the $512 flight for me. Last month I went to Boston from Florida, one round trip ticket was $450pp. It was six of us. Her entire vacation was cheaper than my plane tickets.

Went straight to the comments when she said "flight for FOUR = $500" LIKE what magic did you cast????

It would be appreciated if you mentioned using travel points for those flight tickets. This is absurd 😂

Where are you finding an international flight for $500 for 4 people?

How in tarnation did they fly their entire family to Japan for $512? Was this in 1972?

First, flights aren't $500 for a family unless you're flying free or SUPER discounted as an airline employee. Tickets to Japan from US/Canada start at about $1200 per PERSON. Second, This is DisneySea not Disneyland Tokyo. We just got back a month ago, so I know the prices. Food in Japan, is cheap. Food in DisneySea Japan, is not cheap. Those Toystory dumplings are not $2, they are about $5. The Mickey Icepops are about $4. Second, there are no 6 BEDROOM suites at tokyo hilton near disney. It SLEEPS 6, which is VERY different, and the room starts at $946 a NIGHT. At least you got the admission tickets right at 50/30.

Everything is cheap in Japan but the line to get in was ridiculously long in the hot weather. Customer service there was top notch. Everywhere is sparkly clean. Everyone is so respectful of one another. Cannot compare to the U.S.

I can't say i've ever been interested in going to disney in usa but this one in japan has got my attention!! definitely looking into that one more.

I live so close to Tokyo Disneyland I can hear and see the fireworks go off every night at 8:30.

23 and still have vivid memories of disneyworld at 6 years old can’t wait to go back

This got me........I tried to look at trips to Tokyo Disney, the airfare alone from NC is crazy. Then I realized you were in Hawaii which happens to be the cheapest state to fly to Tokyo from.

We were there right before you in early June of 2024. Tokyo Disneyland is currently an excellent value (with the strong dollar), especially when contrasted with Disney's avaricious American parks, and it's perfectly maintained, and has many wonderful cast members.

It's even worse if you go to WDW in Orlando, and the weather is the WORST there 9/12 months of the year. I honestly can't comprehend why people even bother.

We are family of 4 as well we live close to Disney World in Orlando and always had spent almost 500 on just a day pass. We went to Japan last year and was there for Halloween and took the kids to Disney, literally cheap day passes for us and food and line was super short and fast. Everyone was so friendly! Miss it so much

That's disgusting. I started going to Disneyland in 1959. Our family went twice a year. Every summer AND every winter. My parents always allowed each of us kids to take a friend and they paid for them too. What it has become is an absolute shame. It's so sad that there are kids who will never get to go to Disneyland because of the greed of the Disney company.

Totally agree! I was there with a family of four adults. I don’t know how many times it was mentioned that everything was so cheap. Loved it!

Hats off to the husband waiting in line for 6 hours then spending the day with the kids! What a man

As a mom of 5 family of 7 this would be a job my family is fixing to dress up like disney characters and experience a little magic at home lol 😂

I just couldn’t stand in a line for that long to get on some rides!

Wow Keloni queuing up from 3:30am what a great dad and partner it looked so beautiful too xx

I love watching vloggs who talks about prices and budgeting the tour..this is how a travel vlog should be...money is true essential to travel..thanks much..I have my pen and pad ready to list all of this

Our group a Disney Anaheim was 5 adults, one child and one Infant. We drove from Arizona and stated with relatives. Our one day one park tickets were purchased on lone and cost over $200 each for over $1,000 dollars. We spent an average of $60 on food for over $350.00 and another $100 for kids clothes and souvenir. Total was over $1,500.00

I think i would stand in line, too, for hours, so we could have an awesome vacation like this for the low price!

Next Disney trip, try the Paris one and compare prices to the two other 😀😀🥰❤️

That is so amazing! What a beautiful experience!

$500 for 4ppl for flying from Hawaii is impossible. Zipair is the cheapest airline from Hawaii but it still costs $500 per person. and you wont get wide seats like the ones in this video. also zipair's seats are black and not grey. so they didnt even use zipair. other airlines cost $1000 per person.

Welp, I just added this to my family's bucket list!

Please keep in mind, they live in Hawaii so it’s quicker and cheaper to fly to Japan. If you live in the mainland, then add $2500 per person for the flights

My husband waited in line at 3:30 am. “100% worth it.” Sounds like my wife! 😂

I'm sooooo glad we went to Tokyo instead of California. We did a vacation package and it was about $1800 for 3 of us for one night. It was totally worth the struggle trying to book that! 😆

I just can’t imagine spending that much on Disney honestly. I know it’s a magical place yadda yadda but the ticket prices for how long you have to stand in line and such just doesn’t make sense to me. I guess I’m not much of an amusement park fan lol bc this didn’t look like fun - this looked like work to me 😂

The foods looked amazing in Tokyo Disney! 😫

Disney in CA is outlandishly expensive 😂 we live in northern CA and drive (or fly if southwest has a deal), bring our own food, stay at a cheaper hotel that has a breakfast included and we spend about 2k all around for some eating out and gas, etc. It’s worth the smile on my son’s face though. 😅 I salute your husband for waiting in line that freakin long 😩 that’s insane lol

That’s insane! Disneyland Anaheim must be now built in gold if Americans are willing to travel to another Disneyland because it’s cheaper. Thanks for this!

It's the same for us in the uk and disneyland Paris, a couple of years ago I priced a trip to Paris for 5 days during school break, it was over £5500. Not including our park tickets which was approximately another £1200 A week later still school holidays fir 2 weeks staying in a private villa with a pool, including tickets to Disney world for 14 days, 2 days in universal studios it cost £4500

Lmao. Thank goodness for the time difference. My husband stayed up till 12:30 LA time... 😅

Oh my goodness the Repunzal ride with the lanterns looks beautiful.

And in California you can show up 30 minutes before open

It’s actually very reasonable price, I live in Mexico and a trip with my family to the beach would be more than that

Thank you for this!!

That is insane!! How is it cheaper to travel to Japan than the US? 🤯

And they are oh so lucky to say they got to go to Tokyo Disneyland. I mean who can say that to often. So blessed.😊

Spending the price of a used car on a family vacation is crazy work in this economy but looking at the lines I guess I’m just the only poor one that’s never been to Disneyland

It’s insane.Out of my price range totally. And l live in SoCal

I just can’t get over that you guys flew there for 500 and something dollars that’s crazy. I think I’m on board of wanting to go there. I’ve never really been to Disneyland and in California. It’s pretty great but I don’t remember because I was like three years old.

I went to Disneyworld at 9 years old. My husband ironically, came to the USA (I’m Canadian and he’s British) to see Disneyworld when *_HE_* was 9 too (we’re 12 years apart in age). Honestly, after seeing the cost, the parking, the lines…..no thank you! Been there, done that!

food alone for 3 days in america was about $2400 that was breakfast lunch and dinner plus snacks for a family of 6

$500 is what is usually cost me for a multi-day Disney trip if I’m traveling cross country. If I’m already in California it’s almost less than half that, Genie included.

Husband : Waits in ride line 5.5 hours. Wife : "100% worth it."

My dad did a similar thing in a completely different situation (waited in the airport line for 3 hours while we sat on the side) but when our time came, the people behind dad kept shouting that 'we cut the line' and started making so much trouble that security had to intervene !

My son lives in Japan and LOVES the currency exchange rate! I can’t wait to go there to visit!

Your husband deserves everything😭😭 3:30am? Good god

If this lady started in Hawaii, I did a check and google says a flight from HNL to HND (Tokyo) is $847 if the person was going in July. And that is on sale. That's for one person. Her $500+ for a family of four isn't do-able for the average person.

Why is the disney waiting in line simulator so popular? What a waste of time!

512 each person or as a family used you points to get it down to 512 together?

Brought my kids to Tokyo Disneyland on a weekday and it seemed like all of Tokyo were there too.. 😂 We didn't manage to go on any rides since the lines were between 3 to nearly 5 hours' wait. Brought the kids a few years later to Hong Kong Disneyland and they got to go on more rides there.

The reason why it’s cheap is because corporations pay a higher tax in Japan unlike the us

Man unfortunately i know so many husbands/fathers that wouldnt even step foot in a Disney land and this MAN got up at 3am to wait in line 6 hours for his family 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🏆. They dont make men like this anymore

Super nice! Half price almost. Save on the food for sure 👍

Good to know! We priced Disneyland California for 2 days 1 park per day for 2 adults and it was $700 before the hotel even! In my opinion that's just Ludacris I will not pay that much to go there However we do want to go to Tokyo so this seems like a better option to get both of those stones out of the way.

As someone who has been to Tokyo Disney Sea I will say it was so much cleaner better and just different than here in America. However, few things also took me back like the amount of people at the park was insane- I feel there were more people at Tokyo Disney Sea than any Disney I have ever been to, and also be aware that the sizes of the chairs on the rides are WAYYYYYYY SMALLER than the ones in America. If you are on the hefty side (I’m not saying obese but hefty) or even too chesty you may not fit on a seat or rides won’t properly secure on your chest unless you wanna squeeze them like pancakes for a couple of minutes and take away your opportunity to breast feed! 😂 but overall Tokyo Disney was awesome- would do it all over again!

That's an eye opener I usually fly from UK to Orlando and all in flights Disney hotel tickets and meal plan it is around £4000 for 1 person

Great memories!! Summer of 1984!! 😂

wow.. i moved to tokyo last year, can’t wait to visit disney

I'm glad I live 5 minutes away from Disney California and my cousin works at Disney so I go for free and I spend about 100-150 for food.

Ok so I know it may seem cheaper but when you factor in airfare for a family of 4, a place to stay, and then finally the trip to Disney I'm sure you would spend less just go to California

How ridiculous is it that it cost twice as much to go to Disneyland here in the states as it does to go to Disneyland all the way across the Pacific Ocean in Tokyo, Japan?!? 🤬🤬 that tells you a lot about the greed here in the US!!!

I have not been to Disney since the 70's, and I have not missed the long lines at all. 😮

I’m sure it was crazy cheap because of how incredibly weak Japanese Yen is right now.

Your husband is a wonderful father!! That’s what good husbands and fathers do. Sacrifice for their children’s happiness. This vacation will have wonderful memories for them to hold onto in the future.

I live 40-45 min away from Disneyland California so I just need money for tickets, parking, and spending money for food or extra things if I wanted to buy anything else. 🤷 That's why living in California, LA is nice because there's places to go to as in Disneyland, Universal studios, Knotts Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Lego Land, is not to far, LA Zoo, San Diego Zoo is not bad of a drive or distance, there's other places too here in California

I do a lot of international travel. The cheapest Honolulu to Haneda ticket I could find from the last 12 months was $400 and $300 to Narita, which would also hace additional travel costs to the resort. That's per person. The math ain't mathing. Even still, I believe that Tokyo Disney was cheaper for them than going to Disneyland, but in my opinion I couldn't enjoy the new/different rides because I didnt understand them (obviously everything is in Japanese) and I love the shows at Disney which I couldnt enjoy with the language barrier. That was just my experience. I'm fortunate to live in California, so it's an obvious choice where I would go.

This family of 4 just spent way less for Tokyo Disneyland than I did going solo at Disneyland California...

One of the reasons Tokyo Disney is cheaper is because Disney doesn’t own it. The park is owned by another group, but they lease the rights to use the characters.

Not to mention you receive higher level of hospitality at the Tokyo branch!! AND better merch!

$2,358 for Disneyland room and board, amusement park and food.for entire family!!. it cost.about that much just for tickets, parking pass and one small pizza at Disneyland in Anaheim.. waking up 0300 and waiting six hours relates to LA traffic

Wow thanks for sharing!

Just added up for 3 days and it would be over $5800 from NJ.

Disneyland is only 15 min from my house so I don’t need the air or hotel so it’s way cheaper for Californians to go to Disneyland here.😊

100% worth it, bit he waited in the line 😂😂

Husband wakes up at 3am. Wife: worth it while I slept in

Wow! You guys really got more bang for your buck. Food looked better and was far more than you'd get in Californis!😊❤😂

And the cultural experience is next to none! There's such an amazing world out there!! Its a shame to stay locked into one place when theres an awesome world to explore

I've been to Japan twice, the flights were $1,500 the first time and $2,500 the second, and it's been at least 8 years since I've last gone. Train rides aren't cheap in Japan either.

I live in California and would have no hotel expense and my guesstimate is that one day in Disneyland would be about $1500 to $1800 for a family of 4 without air or hotel

NOTHING IS WORTH THAT LINE !!! GROW UP PEOPLE !!

I wish i could afford ANY vacation for my family. That looks amazing. Teaching income for 4 just doesn't allow for one, let alone two trips to Disney. Pretty cool to know there is a significant price difference, though.

So it's cheaper to go to Tokyo. Now I see why my brother is ALWAYS GOING THERE!!!❤❤❤ IM HIDING IN HIS LUGGAGE ON THE NEXT TRIP 😂😂😂

Would love to know what airline you took? It looks like the seating is two by two and has larger seats. I have been looking for one like this for a long time! I could actually fly again if I use this airline!!! TIA!!

husband waits in line at 3:30am and she says “it’s worth it” hahahahah no shit it’s worth it TO YOU 😂

$512 for round trip for 4?!?! Did you have seats? 😂 I need to see receipts of this $512 for 4 to Tokyo, because US to Asia is anywhere from $800-1000 per passenger.

$25 for the whole family to eat!!! I haven’t been to Disneyland (California) in a while but I’m sure a lemonade is probably around $15….

I’ve gone to Europe for vacations instead of NYC because of the cost, And Im flying from California.

God you guys went at an aweful time, tokyo disney sea right now being over crowded because of the new section. Having to wait at 3:30 am is insane. Last year my cousin, her kids, and I went and we arrived at the gates at around 8:30 am? Got to be close to the front in one of the lines. Though had to wait a bit because there’s people who pay extra to get in before everyone else.

Anything in the US is more expensive than Japan. You get more for your buck at Japan. Also countryside japan, worth even more for your buck.

🤯That’s it! Next time we go to Disney we’ll go to the one in Tokyo 😬🫠😅🤗
