Katie is new to the podcast and coming to you all the way from the U.K. to talk about her upcoming trip to Tokyo with her husband Adam and brother-in-law Ryan.  This trip was initially planned to attend the big Star Wars Celebration expo that was scheduled to be in Japan in 2025, but of course it's hard to think about traveling that far and not stopping by Toyko Disneyland, Tokyo Disney Sea, and Universal Studios Japan!  With so much to see and do in Japan, outside of their park and expo time they are prioritizing time in Kyoto, trying as much of the fresh Japanese cuisine as they can lay their hands on, and visiting at least one shrine.

- The biggest news this month was the opening of the Donkey Kong Country expansion of Super Nintendo World and Universal Studios Japan. This long awaited expansion opened on December 10th, and has had rave reviews from visitors. While POVs of the Mine Cart Madness coaster, look fun, but not super thrilling, the feedback on the ride has been very positive. Similar to the Mario Kart ride that anchors Super Nintendo World. This is not a thrill attraction, it is a family attraction. The best thing from what I can see from this expansion, is just adding space to Super Nintendo World. - Here in Australia we have had two massive openings in the last month, with both Movie World and Dreamworld adding their new lands, the Wizard of Oz Precicnt and Rivertown. - Starting with Movie World's new precinct dedicated to the Wizard of Oz, it opened on the 20th of December, without a soft opening period, with it's two new coasters: - Kansas Twister: A Vekoma Family Boomerang Racer, twin tracks with a top speed of 58km/h and a 95 cm (37-inch) height requirement - Flight of the Wicked Witch: A Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster, with a top speed of nearly 67km/h and 105 cm (41-inch) height requirement I've seen really mixed reviews of the lands so far. People have been damning for the lack of shade in the outside portion of the land, which is a danger for any Summer opening of a Theme Park land in Australia. They have routinely praised the indoor queue elements of the two rides. The rides themselves haven't been big hits, but I'm going to hold my judgement on them for now. - Over at Dreamworld, we have seen on the 23rd the opening of Rivertown. This new land takes the place of ABC Kids World, that kind of half merged into Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland when Dreamworks IP licencing deal was finished. Amusing that are of the park was originally known as Rivertown, so it's kind of return. Not really though. I'll get to that in a second. The new land brings one new, and one completely refurbished attraction. The new attraction Jungle Rush Vekoma switchback coaster with a low 95 cm (37-inch) height requirement, and high top speed of 80 Kmph. This is the first of it's kind of coaster in the world. The second attraction Murrissippi Motors, is a significant revamping of the Vintage Cars, that were previously on the other side of the park. - Elsewhere in theme Parks, Disney has announced that beloved Australian cartoon dog Bluey is coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World, as well as being added as a meet and greet to the Australian sailings of the Disney Cruise Line from next month. This comes on the back of Bluey's World, opening here in Brisbane at the start of November. Exactly what is going to happen at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, remains to be seen. I would expect to see meet and greets happening fairly quickly. - Universal Orlando has filed permits for Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit to be removed, and replaced with a proposed new attraction. They have stated the existing ride will close in September 2025. The submitted plans, showed that the entire ride footprint plus some backstage area's near the New York area of the park, have been marked for the removal and replacement permit. The plans are obviously silent on what will replace the ride, but it is possible that this new area, might mean that the ride replacing it could be entered to from the New York area, rather than the current entrance near Minions Land at the front of the park. The wild speculation at this point, is that it could be a long awaited Ghostbusters attraction, running out of the New York section. - Disneyland have opened a new Haunted Mansion themed gift show, Madame Leota's Somewhere Beyond, which went in the space of the former Splash Mountain Fastpass distribution area. - Six Flags has submitted plans this week to "ALTER" rather than "Demolish" their "KINGDA KA/ ZUMANJARO" rides, which have been announced as being removed.

¡AkeOme, japonista! En Japón hay parques temáticos para todos los gustos, con lo que en este primer Japón a fondo del año hacemos un pequeño recorrido por varios de ellos para que decidas qué tipo de parque se adapta mejor a tus gustos viajeros. Desde clásicos como Tokyo Disneyland (y su compañero Tokyo DisneySea) y Universal Studios Japan en Osaka (con sus zonas dedicadas a Harry Potter o Super Nintendo World), a otros dedicados a atracciones como Fuji-Q Highland. Sin olvidarnos del reciente Ghibli Park, que ha pegado fuerte. Pero también los hay tradicionales (y seguro que el más antiguo de Japón no lo conoces), otros dedicados a aguas termales, o a Lego, a Hello Kitty y otros personajes de Sanrio, etc. Luego, en Japonismo mini hablamos de algunas noticias de comienzos del año en Japón como el terremoto que tanto afectó a la península de Noto y el accidente en Haneda. Tras leer algunos comentarios de japonistas, os traemos la primera palabra japonesa de este 2024, que encaja con cómo nos sentimos tras nuestras vacaciones a finales de año (que no fueron a Japón, además). ¡Mata ne! ¿Quieres colaborar con el programa? - Colabora en Patreon - Únete a la Comunidad Japonismo - Reserva hoteles en Japón (y en todo el mundo) - Consigue seguro de viajes (¡no sólo para Japón!) - Busca los mejores vuelos - Lleva Internet (pocket wifi o SIM) - JR Pass para viajes ilimitados en tren ---- Continúa la conversación en: - Web: https://japonismo.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/hZrSa57 - Facebook: https://facebook.com/japonismo - Twitter: https://twitter.com/japonismo - Instagram: https://instagram.com/japonismo - Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/japonismo - Newsletter semanal: http://eepurl.com/di60Xn

這集Podcast請到多次年票持有者,住過大阪多年現在到東京還是買年票的Nobuhiro的台日任意門來和大家聊聊我們這次去大阪環球影城的心得!到底應不應該買Early Entry通行證?快速通關券有快七和快四,如何選擇?任天堂世界的手環該不該買?園內購物退稅要注意什麼?為何我們這次選擇買1.5日券?最近要去環球影城的朋友一定要來聽這一集喔! 大阪環球影城萬聖節開賣了!目前都是開放兩個月內的日期,比方說8月11日最遠可以訂到10月11日國慶連假期間。 大阪環球影城門票: https://reurl.cc/nDqnDn 快速通關4: https://reurl.cc/nDl7jl 快速通關7: https://reurl.cc/XEaLr0 1.沒有人敢和妹妹坐好萊塢美夢‧乘車遊~逆轉世界~,老爸只好捨老命相陪了。可以選歌真讚,泰勒絲的Shake it off還有幾乎全程閉眼讓我撐過去了。腳一直懸空,我個人覺得可怕度的確是超過正向的,但咬緊牙關就過去了,人生沒有過不去的坎呀。下次你找你自己男朋友啦! 2.剛剛有人提到飛天翼龍才是大魔王?我這不是來了嗎,接下來馬上挑戰飛天翼龍。Nobuhiro一直強調這真的很好玩,他玩過很多次,反而倒轉的好萊塢他坐過一次之後暈到不行以後不敢再坐。所以說服了姐姐,這次四個人一起。但他沒有說的一句話是,飛天翼龍很明顯是最恐怖的。我的天啊我到底坐了什麼可怕的鬼東西!可是其他3個人都好開心完全沒有尖叫耶,你們的前庭跟三半規管是不是有什麼問題啊!而且他們都從頭到尾睜著眼睛,我覺得閉著眼睛比較不會暈,你們覺得呢? 3.小小狸妹小朋友,今日戰績 好萊塢美夢乘車遊~逆轉世界~:一次 好萊塢美夢乘車遊:白天一次,晚上兩次 飛天翼龍:一次 為何這麼多次?因為狸貴妃不敢坐,我fast pass多買了。科科。她晚上的最後一次好萊塢美夢乘車遊還是自己一個人去玩的。而她的好玩刺激度排名是: 飛天翼龍>逆轉世界>一般的好萊塢美夢乘車遊。 你說那可怕程度呢?不不不,她根本不怕雲霄飛車類的。她只怕鬼。哈哈。 4.環球影城園內商店購買是可退稅的(園外的那間則不行),不過要統一到出園前左邊那間商店退稅,奉勸大家不要像我一樣9點半才開始排隊退稅,因為那時候絕對是退稅的最高峰,結果我排了40分鐘才退到稅。好累.....帶著一家老小的話,肯定大家體力都不勝負荷。這時候就會感謝自己訂了離環球影城最近的這間旅館:The Park Front Hotel,如果這麼累這麼晚了還得搭電車提著戰回到大阪市區的旅館,實在是心累啊!我們五人訂了兩間房間,三人房在28樓頂樓,小朋友們都說讚! 日本環球影城園前飯店(The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan) https://reurl.cc/OvWAKr 歡迎追蹤林氏璧孔醫師的發聲管道,了解最新的日本旅遊訊息! 我的電子名片 https://lit.link/linshibi 日本優惠券大平台和近期活動資訊 https://linshibi.com/?p=20443 歡迎贊助04b喝咖啡 https://pay.firstory.me/user/linshibi

請你跟我這樣買。環球影城入場券1.5日券五九折! 正在如火如荼準備七月底要去環球影城的種種安排。正好這幾天KLOOK有活動,和大家分享一下我的心得。 https://linshibi.com/?p=15528 1.從6/26(一)11:00到7/2(日) 23:59,有一個Klook Stay+飯店套票方案限時快閃活動。其中買部分大阪飯店送日本環球影城買一送一! https://reurl.cc/XEZeVa 2.於是我先下訂了疫情前住過,全家人都念念不忘的日本環球影城園前飯店(The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan)。這間根本就在環球影城門口呀!但請注意看該飯店要有環球影城買一送一之標籤才行,點進去的所有房型都適用此案型優惠。 https://reurl.cc/11Xgep 3.訂購後Klook系統會自動發送優惠碼至使用者帳戶,我馬上就收到了名為"Stay+一起購特價"的優惠碼。注意,每個帳號只會收到一組優惠碼。優惠券上寫適用於一日標準門票X兩位成人。(每人收到的碼都不一樣,所以輸入圖上那張碼沒有用喔) 4.再來就來訂環球影城票券了。我昨天和Nobuhiro討論過後,我們想買1.5日券,前一天3PM就進場悠閒地逛,隔天再用fast pass。我姑且試試看,哇!還是有折價!我去的日子是票價C,KLOOK上1日券是NT2088,1.5日券則是NT3384。我買兩張1.5日券折價了NT2481,一人NT2143,約9740yen。在官網原價是15400yen,打了六三折! https://reurl.cc/nDqnDn 5.KLOOK現在有超多信用卡合作的。但很多結帳優惠碼都不適用環球影城。我最後是用國泰世華Cube卡,登入CUBE App領取Klook加碼回饋4%,加上原本切到趣旅行權益方案3%,最高7%小樹點回饋!(加碼的部分每季上限回饋200點)如果我的理解沒錯,我的NT2143等於還可以折到1993,也就是打五九折。(好,我知道你頭都昏了
