ParoDeeJay description on YouTube:

Parody. Cruise. Music. Travel. Cooking. Shenanigans. Repeat. Salutations! We are Dee & Jay of the House ParoDeeJay, first of our names, makers of songs, cruisers of ships, the sometimes-sunburnt, creators of nonsense, vloggers of randomness, and parents of kitties. We started our YouTube journey in 2013 as a way to release homemade, no-budget parody and cover songs, and eventually added videos on cooking, challenges, gaming, travel & more. Basically, our channel is a big ol' mixed bag of things that we enjoy, and we hope you'll join us for some crazy adventures!! :D

I am like 0% a fan of this. I'll I'll be on the record. I'm probably about 0%.

🥈ExpertParoDeeJay

The perks are essentially the same as before if you're used to how their program worked. But there's several things that went missing. They're gone. Gone forever.

🥈ExpertParoDeeJay

I would never order this again in my whole life I mean it wasn't terrible but it was overcooked

🥈ExpertParoDeeJay

It was kind of blindsiding everybody because everybody was like, 'Oh, hey, they're going to make an announcement about the loyalty.'

🥈ExpertParoDeeJay

they're saying they are offering wheelchair service to remove people from the dining room if you feel that you cannot walk out of the dining room on your own

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for ParoDeeJay.

  1. Be careful with the toilet buttons to avoid getting soaked.

  2. Try the black eggs and curry bread at Owakudani.

  3. Book a group tour with Shore Excursions Asia for a fun-filled day.

  4. Book a lowlight tour to avoid crowds at popular attractions.

  5. Allow extra time at the Golden Pavilion, but expect a rushed experience.

  6. Try the yuzu gelato with tofu whipped topping for a unique combination.

  7. Check the size of tour groups before booking, as they can grow larger than expected.

  8. Be prepared for language barriers with guides in Japan, as English may be limited.
