(7/18/11) A gigantic photo update from the Tokyo Disney Resort, starting off with great pictures from Tokyo DisneySea has been posted to Theme Park Review, with some great pictures of the Lava Monster from Journey To The Center of the Earth in action.. because he works unlike some lazy Yeti that I know of…
(7/1/11) It’s a fairly widely accepted fact that Tokyo DisneySea may very well be the most beautiful and well designed Disney park of all time, and now iPhone and iPad users can take a piece of it with them wherever they go with the TDS Wallpapers HD app, launched by our friends over at the Disney & More Blog. The app includes 117 high-res pictures of Tokyo DisneySea, all for just 99 cents. Check it out here.
(6/6/11) According to the Sentosa Theme Park Blog, the Tokyo Disney Resort will cut the price of child tickets in half from July 8th through to August 31st in order to spark up attendance following the closure after the March 11th earthquake.
(4/21/11) OLC has confirmed that Tokyo DisneySea will open once again on April 28th. Even better… the park’s new Fantasmic! Show will premier on the same day, as the park will resume a normal operating day schedule.
(3/4/11) I came across a great behind the scenes video this afternoon showing off the unique 20,000 Leagues attraction at Tokyo DisneySea from a new angle… above the ride system on the catwalk over the track as guests are evacuated frolm the attraction.
(2/16/11) The Disney & More blog has posted a nice update focusing on the attractions posters created for Tokyo DisneySea. They are quite large, so it will take a bit for the page to load.
(12/16/10) Time for a rare treat for you DisneySea fans. It seems a rock band by the name of Moochie Mac & Superfriends has posted a song called “Shiriki Utundu” to their official Facebook page, a tribute to the “cute lil critter” from the park’s Tower of Terror ride.
 2012 - Toy Story Mania - Confirmed - (12/19/11) Tokyo DisneySea has set July 9th, 2012 as the official opening date for their new Toy Story Mania dark ride. They have also confirmed that Toy Story Mania will be a FastPass attraction.

(5/8/09) The OLC confirmed today that a copy of the popular Toy Story Mania attraction will be built in DisneySea, in the New York themed area of the American Waterfront. The new ride will be built for an estimated 11.5 billion Yen.
(2/23/09) According to Blue Sky Disney, the next major attraction slated for Tokyo DisneySea will be a new version of Toy Story Midway Mania that will be placed in the American Waterfront section of the park. They also mention that this idea will delays the previous plans to build a new version of Soarin for the time being.
2013-2015 - Soarin’ - Rumor - (2/23/09) The latest word is that the Soarin’ project has been put on the backburner for now while they look at adding a couple of other projects to the park first.
(5/7/07) The latest rumor claims that we likely wont see Soarin’ show up until 2011 or 2012 now, possibly as part of DisneySea’s 10th Anniversary (Sept. 4th, 2011). Between now and then, Oriental Land Company will be focused on plans for Tokyo Disneyland’s 25th Anniversary (April 15th, 2008) and the opening of the Monster’s Inc. ride in 2009. Again, Soarin’ is apparently just one of a few different attraction ideas under consideration for the park’s 10th Anniversary, so don’t count on it just yet.
(5/4/07) If the latest rumors are true the Oriental Land Company is looking to add a custom version of Soarin’ somewhere in the park’s Mediterranean Harbor area. Obviously this version of the ride would have to feature a brand new ride film that would appeal to Japanese audiences.
