As for bad cast members there... I met a few stern and/or angry
cast members at DL and DCA when I was there in 2016. But that doesn't
negate the whole resort for me.
(Pardon for the sidebar, here.)
It has the worst of everything. It's full of rude, obnoxious french people. Always seems to have lower standards in every way (mainly cleanliness and staff). And it's in France which isn't a good start!
Anyway, Tokyo Disney is awesome. I think DisneySea has to be my #1

^Awwwwwwww cute, you clearly haven’t been to Shanghai yet.
Love everything about your TR! I really should explore Shanghai Disney’s Adventure Isle a bit more. And can’t wait to return to Tokyo Disney Resort sometime!

Great pictures! Can't wait for my next visit to TDL only 6 months away!

Our trip continued with our second day at Tokyo DisneySea... Still my favorite theme park on the planet! On this day we spent more time focusing on the smaller attractions and taking in the theming, entertainment, shopping and dining of the park.
- Attachments
-

- Another morning rush at rope drop and still the most polite rope drop rush I've experienced.
-

- It still astounds me that this is a theme park.
-

- With as popular as SeaRider is at the park we avoided experiencing it during our first day at DisneySea but I'm especially glad that we revisited it during our second day.
-

- Stormrider was an odd attraction, one that I couldn't really explain or describe in 2006, so I wasn't overly disappointed to see it replaced. The preshow experience for Searider is much more impressive...
-

- As is the Searider experience in the ride vehicle. The ride sequences are fully animated to the same level as the Finding Nemo films and the randomization eclipses that found in Star Tours with seamless transitions between several different ride paths. We rode three times thanks to our Fastpass usage and each time we had entirely unique set of sequences.
-

- We absolutely loved Searider!
-

- And I wasn't going pass up the chance to try more themed treats like this orange creme churro or the pineapple jelly slushie!
-

- I'd waited over a decade to ride Aquatopia once again!
-

- And it was just as fun as I remembered!
-

- So many neat little nooks the ride paths can take you to!
-

- I absolutely love Aquatopia!
-

- With the arrival of SeaRider in Port Discovery, the land has seen some subtle but adorable added touches.
-

- So freaking cute!
-

- Like too freaking cute!
-

- Hello beautiful!
-

- I fell in love with the American Waterfront all those years ago and I was overjoyed to revisit it years later.
-

- Not a corner or side left unthemed.
-

- The chicken roll was quite tasty!
-

- This was new since the last time I was here.
-

- I love the Palisades Park/Coney Island inspirations that went into integrating Toy Story Mania into the American Waterfront.
-

- I can dig it!
-

- And my favorite...
-

- Still the best Tower of Terror story out there.
-

- The preshow is an experience in and of itself.
-

- The stained glass effect is incredible.
-

- And Shiriki Utundu is the best.
-

- Unfortunately the Shiriki Utundu merchandise is much less plentiful than it was the last time I was here. I still stocked up on what I could!
-

- It still blows my mind that there's a life-size steamliner parked inside of Tokyo DisneySea.
-

- The SS Columbia is another example of the park's above-and-beyond design.
-

- The Pork Roll (definitely bacon wrapped) was awesome too!
-

- We found a hidden Hank from Finding Dory in Port Discovery!
-

- And more impromptu performances throughout the park to be found! Seriously, Tokyo's entertainment game is unrivaled!
-

- Thank goodness for Fastpasses!
-

- I want the Lost River Delta closer to home!
-

- Fans of the Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Magic will recognize this statue in the Cape Cod area of the park.
-

- Still love this nod to Indiana Jones and Star Wars' film connection.
-

- Out of Shadowland was a unique show not featuring any Disney characters telling the coming-of-age story of a young girl in the woods. The story was a little odd but the projection mapping nature of the sets was a neat approach.
-

- Raging Spirits was a fun coaster that had been entirely retracked since my last visit.
-

- For a pretty standard layout, the theming and fog effects make it a step above.
-

- The way the coaster cuts through the fog is a pretty neat effect in person.
-

- Another new addition since my last visit.
-

- Something neat that is unique to the Tokyo Disney Resort is the games of skill that they offer... It isn't the fact that the games exist that is unique, rather that if you win you get the normal prize but if you lose, you still walk away a winner...
-

- If you lose you're able to choose a pin to take away. So in this sense, either way you're a winner.
-

- There's no bad angle when it comes to looking out Mount Prometheus.
-

- Mermaid Lagoon is still one of the coolest environs here.
-

- So cool!
-

- The Sea Salt Ice Cream Monaka was unique and really delicious!
-

- I want this tateside.
-

- Neat to see this as a walkthrough scene as opposed to something passed in a ride.
-

- I could stay here all day!

I was really wanting to get something Journey related while I was out there, but I was kinda disappointed that all they had was a die cast toy vehicle replica. If they made Lava Monster versions of the plush keychains or those plush hats, I'd do pretty much anything I could to get my hands on them.
