We were there, of course, when they released the merch for Donald's 90's bday. While we were a the Disney Store in Shibuya, I found this chart of the Duck family tree. I asked if they had a poster of this for sale, but they didn't. I took a snapshot of it instead, so here it is for future reference. I haven't heard of at least 3/4 of the names on Donald's family tree.
I've cropped the image, but kept the original resolution so that you can zoom in without much loss of the writing.

The most prominent part of Tokyo DisneySea is the volcano situated in the Mysterious Island land. But it isn't just a volcano. The caldera inside the volcano has attractions and is themed to the hilt! Here are a few pics of the volcano and the caldera area.
In the caldera, it was hopping. The 20,000 Leagues under the Sea theming was carried out everywhere.
And of course, what do active volcanoes do? They occasionally erupt!

And now for a bit of relaxing sightseeing, this is part of the view from the Electric Railway train at Tokyo DisneySea. It operates between American Waterfront land and Port Discovery land. We rode this several times because it was a convenient way to get from one side of the park to the other.

One of my most favorite attraction in all of WDW is the Tower of Terror at Studios. Of course, I want to see how they adapt such an attraction at other parks. The one at DCA has been transformed into a fun ride, significantly better than the ToT poor cousin when it first opened.
The version at Tokyo DisneySea is also different in story line, since presumably they are not familiar with the Twilight Zone TV series (not many people do anymore nowadays). And just like the one at DCA, recording the actual ride was prohibited, so I will only show the pre-ride show.
The building is quite impressive and it is the most prominent feature, next to the ship, at the American Waterfront land.
And this is the pre-ride show:

Entering Tokyo DisneySea.
The one thing I've always found unusual about this is that all the other Disney theme parks that I've entered in the US, you go straight ahead after entry. You usually walk through the main thorough fare before you turn or branch out into the various lands. For DisneySea, at the globe, you have to make a right turn to get to the main part of the park, which is the Mediterranean Harbor.
Still, it is a spectacular entrance.

OK, this one puzzled me.
This is Snow White Adventure at Tokyo Disneyland. I expected it to be similar to the one we have at the Magic Kingdom, but it isn't. It has a rather puzzling ending to the ride. In fact, it seems as if it ended abruptly and left the story at a cliffhanger.
See if you agree. Here is our ride video.

Seems like a cute attraction, and I liked your video.
With regard to the ending, I can't even recall the ending to the one in WDW MK, as it was closed many years ago. Hence, I don't have much of a (storyline) frame of reference to compare with the Tokyo version -- (although the Tokyo version didn't really seem to have a clear "ending" from my perspective).
I remember that the one at MK had the storyline all the way to the happy ending, meaning Prince Charming revived Snow White from her sleep and they live happily ever after. This one just ended suddenly without any kind of ending.

Where are all the people? It looks so empty.
Most are still being held back till the general admission. We got in 15 minutes early for Disney resort guests.
