Chris we just want you to know that you are important, you make the world a better place. We have been watching you for years. We have experienced your highs and lows. As a former cast member (1979-80) and my son was a cast member (Blue Bayou) your constant appreciation for the cast and the parks is heartwarming. My wife and I have just wanted to give you a big hug and tell you that we understand how difficult this trip has been. I used to work for a lighting special effects company that allowed me to do amazing things. For example I designed a lighting effect that was used on Main Street Disneyland. Plus I have driven my personal car down Main Street, all without my wife being able to experience it. I also had to videotape my 1st visit to Disney World, because I was on business and couldn’t bring her because of our children, so I have a very personal connection with your story about this trip. Maybe someday we can meet and tell you many great stories about Disney. Take care and stay safe.

I have to tell you, my husband, who loves to travel within the US but has never had the desire to travel internationally , started looking up flights after we watched your DisneySea Day 1!

You taught us all so much with this video. You taught us all how to persevere, how to make the vest out of a bad situation, and how to smile - even during the storms. Thank you Chis, for an excellent video.

One thing that cant be cancelled is the inspiration that you have provided to me and my family Chris. I grew up in SO CAL and went to Disneyland every year as a kid. last time I went with my family was back in the early 90s. Watching your videos Inspired me to take my daughter for the first time which we did last month in march. We are now planning a trip to Paris Disney and I credit you and Amanda for the inspiration. I absolutely love your positivity, it is infectious. Keep up the great work, you are amazing.

Chris, what amazing videos! I was crying when you were greeted by the CMs at the canoes the first time! They all seem so happy to be there! Travel safely and YOU matter!!

Helpful hint for rain ponchos: When you take it off, turn it inside out. Have a small eco bag or plastic bag to put it in when going in the stores or attractions. Japan also sells a lot of towels because they come in handy when it rains or when it is humid in the summers.

Thank you sooo much for battling the rain for all of your fans!!! So sorry you got all wet, but for me it's neat seeing this park!!! You are awesome!

Chris I'm sorry the weather messed with the plans, but boy did you ever seem to have a good time! I really appreciate your sense of humor and enthusiasm even when your spirits were not at their highest. Thank you as always for sharing your adventures.

MOIST.... 😂😂😂😂 You are a gem! You get tons of credit for your Neverending positivity! And the dad jokes are just so perfect. My family and I are going to Disneyland for the first time this year and we're so excited. We usually go to Orlando so we can't wait to see the OG!

CHRIS! I have a fun fact for you! My cousin was an Imagineer for Disney in the 1960s-80s. The ship in the California version of Space Mountain was originally supposed to me the Palomino from the Black Hole movie, (The Black Hole was also Disney's first PG movie, for what it's worth). Anyway, they had all these lovely drafts of how Space Mountain was supposed to be a fast-paced journey through/around a black hole, with totally different theming to the station and the queue. It was the perfect ride for it, given all the darkness and whatnot. BUT, for reasons unknown to me, they scrapped it relatively early in development of the ride, and decided to make the ship and subsequent theming just like the one in Disney World, sans being a double track, due to space limitations. My cousin thought it was to keep costs down, and not have to create a whole new station and ship sculpture, but one of his closest friends (also an Imagineer) said it was because they knew the movie would come out after the ride would open, and having the Palomino and all the Black Hole theming would be a gamble, should the movie not succeed at the box office. The movie was constantly being delayed for a myriad of reasons, and it didn't release until 1979, despite pre-production beginning in the early 70s. They didn't even START filming until 1976, so if Space Mountain was ever going to be visually linked to the film, it would have been a long wait for guests to have any idea what they were looking at.

When you were talking about how Toon Town was built, I laughed so hard....."What? You want us to do what what with the how how who?" So fun! (It's right around the 28 minute mark). Also, when you say "Canoe believe it?" I love everything about it!!!

I'm sorry you got so soggy! Thankyou for taking one for the team and showing us round. You are a trooper, I love your enthusiasm in the face of adversity ❤

It poured with rain on the first day of our first-ever trip to Disneyland in Anaheim - we were devastated (and cold - it was winter)! We had come all the way from Sydney, Australia, and we thought our trip was ruined. But then the Disney magic kicked in. By the end of that first day, we were having so much fun on the rides and meeting characters that we forgot about the rain and just enjoyed ourselves. I'm glad to see that the Disney magic also found you in soggy Tokyo Disneyland!

Wow, what a champ for pushing through! We really appreciate you. You are such an amazing human. We need more people like you in this world. I can only imagine how cold and wet you were. I've had many rainy Disney visits and can see your love for Disney that you didn't give up sharing your visit. I absolutely loved Beast's Castle. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies. Would love to see that in person. Be safe. ❤️🤗

Chris you are a trooper!!! No amount of rain stops you from making a fun, informative video we smile with you all the way through. 🎉👏 Thank You for being You🤩

You asking us to do something, liking the video if we liked it, is a very fair favor. Thank you so much for the content. Your videos make me smile for sure, and your excitement is infecting. Since I'm being honest, there was a time I was in such a bad mood, and I put a video of yours on. And then you said that thing you say "You watching, im talking to you. You're special and you matter" You actually made me cry. It was exactly what I needed to hear, in the state I was in. Thank you for your videos, so much. I love your channel!

So fun to see you at Tokyo Disneyland. I live in the US, and I went to Tokyo Disneyland once, waaay back in 2008 when I was on a student exchange program. I had already been to the original Disneyland a few times before, so it was wild to compare the two parks. Watching you walk through a Disneyland full of Japanese language speech everywhere fills me with such nostalgia for that trip 15 years ago with friends I don't talk to as much anymore. Thanks for going through all the rain and homesickness and stress of visiting another country for us viewers!!! Gambatte!! ("You can do it!!")

Buy something at the store and get a large and small plastic bag. Keep the bag in your backpack. Then you can pull the large bag out when you need to take off the poncho and umbrella. You can also put the plastic bag, now wet, in a smaller plastic bag (Gallon ziplock bag works best) in your backpack to keep the backpack dry. Pro tip... cut a small hole in the bottom corner of the large bag for drainage.

I love this series! This is a great way to travel the world and still feels like home when you go to a Disney park! Thank you for staying positive rain or shine!

Thanks so much for bringing us along despite the crazy rain! We visited Tokyo Disneyland in July 2018 and the heat was miserable. Hoping to get out there again when the weather is just right. But you brought the happy Disney magic with this video, thank you! 😊❤

Thank you so much Chris! What great host you are. Share with us your soggy adventures at Tokyo Disney😂 really appreciated because I could vicariously enjoy the trip without getting my feet wet 😂 haha! Thanks for persevering. You're a champ❤

Chris thanks for the great tour of Disneyland Japan!! You really made the day of the cast members at the canoes. What a trouper you are in that weather. 💖

You just continue to do such a great job with so much love in your work for us. I love the canoes, but I really would love to go on the beauty and the beast ride. It’s so sad that the anniversary is rained out but you have taken this with you on this lovely journey and I thank you.❤

Chris, you rock! Thank you for taking us along on your trip. It’s hard to keep a smile and positive attitude when things get tough, you are awesome. It has been very neat to experience Tokyo Disneyland through your videos!!

Hi Chris! I'm a brand new subscriber. Over the last few days since finding your channel, you and Amanda have brought me a lot of joy. I am planning my first visit to Disneyland in CA for my birthday and your videos have been so helpful! That's how I found you. I really appreciate how informational your walk and talks are! I am a huge Star Wars fan and I will be going to Disneyland alone for my bday because, let's just say, I didn't have much of a childhood and my family has fallen for the weird and gross rumors going around lately about Disney and stuff. Anyways, I tear up every time you take a minute to say how much I matter because life has been hard. I haven't given up and have really done a lot of healing and growing into the adult I want to see in the world. Also, I'd like to thank you for being kindly honest about your Japan trip. You show that even when things don't go perfectly as planned and life gets you down, there is always something positive to take away from any situation. Thanks to you and Amanda for bringing sunshine even on rainy days. Safe travels and enjoy the rest of your trip!

What a trooper!! SO sorry it rained on your big trip!! You poor guy!! Thanks for sharing your experience, keeping a positive attitude and powering through! 💗

Way to push through!! You are awesome! You definitely took one for the Disney team! Loving the video's they are definitely giving us exactly what we need to plan our trip to Tokyo Disney!

The first time I rode Pooh at Tokyo Disneyland was the first time I had ever seen a trackless ride. I was blown away thinking, "This is Japan!" Thank you for these videos. I know it must be rough shooting all day then going back to the hotel to edit then doing it all over the next day. Please don't forget to just stop and take a moment to enjoy the fact that you are in Japan. You are awesome!

Happy 40-year anniversary🎉 you're the best thank you for showing us everything at Disneyland😊❤ don't get yourself down when Tokyo was canceled I do not want you to get sick keep happy and keep smiling I'm praying for you

Chris we appreciate you hanging in there with the rain and cold weather just so you can share your visit with us. Thanks again

All the rain and cold and cancelled activities and still you celebrated and had a fantastic day and shared it with all of us, thank you! You are amazing and much loved! 🤗

You are hard core Chris! Laughed and loving this! Get dry stay warm!

"I just know I like the way it tastes," well that's all I need ... on my way.

Beauty & the Beast Castle was so sweet!!

Chris, thank you for pushing through all the rain to share this adventure with us! It reminds me of trips to Disneyland with my parents when it was raining. Even in the rain, great memories are made❤

Wonderful vlog Chris!! That Monsters Inc attraction sounds really awesome, very similar to Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Instead of blasters, you have flashlights. These Tokyo Disneyland vlogs have been so amazing to watch and I hope to experience this park one day. Thank you for continuing to bring me great Disney content and teach me many new things!! All of these facts about everything that is Disney is just phenomenal.

Talk about making lemonade out of lemons. 👍👍👍 Love your positive outlook. After a 4 year hiatus I finally made it back to Disneyland last month for back to back trips, first with my family and then 3 day later with my BFF. Ten days in Disneyland and of those we only had 2 days without rain 🤦‍♀️. Crazy but what are you to do. ☔️

It’s good to see how Disneyland is when it rains! You’re a good example of what to do.❤

You’re a trooper Chris! Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventures!

Hi Chris! I hope you treated yourself to one of those Mickey ties! It would definitely be a useful souvenir, plus deserve it! Thank you for sharing your Tokyo adventures with us!

Chris, In all honesty your facial expressions alone tell me exactly if you like the crepes or not! Your facial expressions alone are worth a thousand words. Thank you!

GREAT job Chris!!!! No rain can bring your videos down because you light up every video you do and make it special. You're a card! ☺️ Thank you for all you do!

Chris! You are the best. Thanks for braving the rain to bring us smiles…and we totally smiled. You are the best and the Haas family loves you!

What a wonderful day, tagging along with you in Tokyo Disney! I loved every minute of today! I'm from Seattle; lots of rain some days; but this was worth it. Thank you for sharing this day; I know you were cold and wet. The food and snacks sound yummy, the folks seem friendly, and the canoe cast members were so nice. In my dreams I can now go there - with your friendship. Best wishes; eagerly awaiting even more from this trip!!

I could tell you were so wet and cold but you stuck it out to give us, your fans a great video. Thank you for the sacrifice of a warm place and dry clothes. We appreciate you.

Your positive attitude and genuine love for Disney turned rain clouds into rainbows. Loved the video so much! Thank you for sharing your adventures.

You are such a trooper for going as long as you did in the rain.....i do love how excited you get for the canoes, makes my heart happy.

I’m sorry it’s raining Chris I hope it stops soon and thank you for going to Japan I always wanted to go to all the Disney theme parks but not able to so thank you for sharing your experience with us and I had no idea Japan had canoes that’s awesome 🤩

Your face said it all about the strawberry pistachio crepe😍😍 also you do food eating/critiquing on camera just fine!! love hearing about the curse!!

Chris, it looks cold and miserable, but you put on a smile and did your best, thank you so much

Thank you so much for hanging in there Chris! It still made me laugh and smile, even if it was sopping. I had to ‘ring’ out my phone! 😆

You are awesome!! Thank you for taking us along, especially with the weather so bad. You are always so positive even during trying times. We love your channel, you make us feel special. When we feel down we put you on and we feel good again, you have a gift. Veronica and Todd

I felt so sorry for you in this terrible downpour. But, you certainly made us feel like it was a bright sunny day with your sunny disposition! And riding the canoes twice, holy moly!! What fun. I loved getting to see Tokyo Disneyland being a Disney World family. It’s just beautiful!

This is incredible. Thank you for going thru the weather for all of us that can't be there.

Chris I have a teenager whole dreams of going to Japan and your videos EVEN through the rain had me watching and dreaming. Thank You for sticking it out all day. I am sure it was a huge challenge for you. I know I couldn't have done it kudos to you.

YOU ARE THE BEST CHRIS!!! Thank you for taking us with you on this adventure. I hope you have the best time and I sincerely hope that Amanda can join you.

Hi Chris. We felt sorry for you being there and it rained so much. I often carry a plastic bag with me to put our slickers/raincoats in to keep from putting them in my backpack. Just an idea. Hopefully, you won't get sick from being cold and wet! Thanks for sharing your experience with us and not letting the weather deter you too much. You are a trooper. ❤

You are so awesome to go out in the nonstop rain and still show us a great video. Thank you. 🤩🙏

Dear Chris: We were so thrilled to bump into your Apr 15, 2023 filming of your experience at the Tokyo Disneyland, because, you know what, WE WERE THERE ON THE SAME DAY!!! My husband purchased tickets to Tokyo Disneyland for April 15, because he knew that it was its 40th anniversary (we came all the way from Hong Kong; that was our first family trip to Japan); but, we were met with rains there! (All our shoes were soaking wet like yours!!!) We actually purchased tickets to the Land for two days and April 15 was our second day there. When we searched for videos on what happened on April 15, 2023 at Tokyo Disneyland, we wanted to find out whether they had the parade going on as scheduled; we missed seeing the "parade" because my son wanted to utilize the waiting time to get onto the Buzz Lightyear Ride. So, by the time we finished with the ride, we noticed that people already dispersed and we were wondering if there was a parade going on or not. So, from your video, we found that the parade was cancelled. We felt good that we didn't miss the parade because of our detour to the Buzz ride. We love your talking about the history of some of those rides! Did you stay there until the evening! They did have the fireworks at night as scheduled! Also, they had the alternative Nightfall Glow parade, an rainy-day alternative to the Electrical Night Parade that evening. The fireworks was SOOOOO good! And there were so many people staying there until late to watch the fireworks after the whole day of rain! Well, we look forward to watching more of your videos in the future!

I loved hearing that your son connects with Tiana as his first Disney Princess and Baymax as his one of his favorite characters. They hold a place in my heart as well! Thank you for your dedication and perseverance with this entire trip. You have brought joy and love for many of us who enjoy the parks but can't be there. Love and hugs from San Diego Mr. Chris!

I am new to your channel & I love the way you do what you do! I first became aware of you in another vloggers video very recently & so I've been checking out your channel. I must tell you that out of 100's of Disney vlogs I've watched, this is the FIRST one to make me tear up in a very good way!! Not only because you are such a loving, kind & caring man, but because of the cast members too! Your 1st ride on the canoes was a very special moment for me & I'm sure it was for you to experience. Your joy, the CM's joy, the kindness & enthusiasm that both you & the CM's shared was priceless! It was just a perfect moment & I thank you for sharing it with us!!!

You tried your darnedest to make it though that soggy day with a smile on your face, and we appreciate the effort. It is really a great park, and the Beauty and the Beady ride was gorgeous. For that alone, thanks so much for sharing. Your enthusiasm for the canoes was a joy to behold!

Great job on the video Chris keep up all the great work I love and enjoy watching your videos

Well, I see you're talking about me in Tokyo. Throwing shade across the Pacific, huh?! Glad you are having fun though!

YOU are the BEST!!! Seriously such a trooper to go all over in that rain! You need to find Olaf and he'll give you a nice warm hug after all that chilly rain! Hope you're able to change your park days so you get a nice dry one!

Only half way through and you have had me smiling and laughing! Sorry it was such a dang wet day for you and missed out on all the specials. But, Disney is Disney and you still had a fab time! Thanks for bringing us along!

Oh, no! So sorry about the weather & cancellations for your special day. You sure made the best of it, though! Hope you were able to dry out & warm up later.🤞 Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! ❤️😊

Go Chris! Thanks for being authentic and showing us how to persevere even if it's hard to look on the bright side sometimes.

Thank you Chris for showing us a positive attitude. Your a great example of what you promote. Your the BEST❤

Another GREAT show, Chris. You are a true Trooper! Gotta go back w/Amanda!

Chris this is great. TIP: for your feet when it is raining. Put your sock on, then put a ziplock bag on your foot, now put another sock over the ziplock bag(this will keep the bag on). Now put your shoe on. The shoe and out side sock will get wet but the inside sock and your foot will stay dry and warm.

Chris I love your videos, you are my go to KZfaqr for anything Disney related. I just got back Monday from Disney World. I’m still missing Disney so I needed this joyful video this morning. Thank you for making the video in the rain, you held up great, so positive and gave us all. Great perspective of the park. 😊 I know you missed your family but it was truly a great video. ❤

You are sunshine on a rainy day! Great vlog! Thank you.

Your attitude is everything!! 🥳✨

Love every video you make. So amazing, always uplifting even in the rain! My family also loves the canoes and have to ride them every time we're in the park. We panicked a while back when we heard that they might be closing the ride and rode it five times on that trip. Needless to say our arms were useless afterwards. So glad they kept the canoes! Hope you warm up. Thanks for showing some of the Tokyo merch. My friends bring back such awesome stuff that's only sold at the Tokyo Disney.

Chris, it's been fun watching these Tokyo Disney vlogs. Your happiness at the canoes yesterday was contagious. My favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast and the ride was amazing!! I wish we had that at Disneyland. I had a rainy day at DL once and it was different but still fun. Thanks for taking us along. The food looks so good too!

Hey Chris good vlog and thank you and keep up the good work you do love jari and you are the best blogger ever love jari ❤

Chris, please take care of health especially in the rain and cold ! Would hate to see you get the flu . Thank you for all you do ! 🏰💗

Great video. "My underwear is moist" made me laugh.

Wow! The Transformation of the Beast to a Prince is amazing !

You are a trooper! So sorry ☔️🌧️🌧️🌧️ I hope you get some pretty weather🥰

I love being in Tokyo with you and in Paris with Nate this week. I'm living my best life through both of you!

Your positive attitude is awesome Chris! Thank you for sharing your journeys with us! When I am feeling down just watching your videos gives me a boost! Thank you for all you do! You had me laughing at MOIST, hahaha.

my heart goes out to you with the rain. enjoy your trip

Such a great video. You persevered through the “Disney curse” rain. I love that you went back to canoes. My family loves the canoes. I can’t wait to see the video about how you planned this. Because of your videos, my husband have started talking about going to Japan and experiencing these parks.

Nobody knows how to review food until they do it. Like you just did. Nicely done.

The CURSE! Thanks for hanging in there for us!!

Thanks for hanging in there but I couldn’t help but notice your sadness sometimes ,your a sweetheart thank you for all you do for us ,be well,love and light to you and yours ❤️

I’m so proud of you Chris! I love seeing provost park pass get these opportunities! And I get to benefit by learning more about Tokyo disney

What a great video. Thanks for taking us along. So sorry but it was raining and got soaked. I hope you drank some nice hot tea when you went back to your room.

Thank you for getting soaked for us ❤ the video made me laugh and smile so, thanks 🎉

Thanks for sharing Tokyo Disneyland with us!

Thank you Chris ..... We LOVE YOU! You are so awesome and thank you for doing this adventure for all of us! :) Amanda! I hope you are on the way. 💜.... Chris did you give the stickers to the Canoe Cast Members?

Chris, you are the greatness of joy and perseverance. Others would have given up but you found the fun even on the rainiest day. Canoes and Beauty and the Beast were definitely highlights. Thank you so much being such a light!

Thank you for sharing this great video, taking us to places some of us may never go to. You are Special and Amazing person bringing such joy and happiness!

I am so glad you finally got to Tokyo!! Sweet see you on the live!

So glad you got to ride Pooh! It's so much better than any of the Pooh rides here in the US. I hope you smelled the honey in the line. They have aromatic machines pumping out the honey smell and it makes you hungry for the treats in the gift shop you exit :)

I lived in Florida most of my life, moved out in 2015. You give me a Disney fix I need. So happy for you to go to Tokyo, I’ve been wanting to go for years. Your videos make me smile. Thank you🙂

Love your videos and amazing attitude. Thank you for sharing your rainy adventure with us!

Thanks Chis I recently decided to go to Disneyland Tokyo and was very happy to find you videos. I have seen you Disneyland videos and these were just as great thank you 😊
