Alain Littaye is infamous for collecting gorgeous images from Disney theme parks in Europe and Asia. In honor of Tokyo DisneySea’s 11th anniversary, he presents this collection of signs and posters from this first class theme park. It’s quite obvious that the Disney Imagineers put an incredible amount of time and care into these individual works of art. ~~Rick

Tokyo Disney Sea is celebrating its 11th Anniversary – the park opened on September 4, 2001 – and since then, all the new attractions added to the park have been “over the top” with an amazing quality created by WDI Imagineers at their best.
For many, Tokyo DisneySea is considered as the best themed park in the world. I have done dozens of articles about TDS, whether it was about the WDI TDS original artwork, TDS attraction posters or night and day pictures of this beautiful park. Today, to celebrate this 11th anniversary, I am featuring the TDS signs and attractions marquees as well as other TDS posters. Of course, they all look great like everything in this park.
Special thanks to Daniel Rous for today’s images.
We start with the signs of the Mediterranean entrance, Cape Cod and the American Waterfront (where our first image is located).

We will end at Port Discovery and this great Aquatopia attraction poster.
Have you visited Tokyo DisneySea? Do you agree with the commonly held notion that this park is the height of Disney Imagineering’s accomplishments?

It’s also the right time to remind you about my great Tokyo Disney Sea Wallpapers app for iPhone and iPad, which is a fantastic tribute to TDS. The application includes 117 gorgeous high-definition wallpaper pictures AND will be updated with new gorgeous HD pictures in a very near future. The update will be free for those who will have previously downloaded the app. There are pictures of each “land” of the park and each picture displays beautifully on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The TDS Wallpapers HD app costs a ridiculous $1.99 on the iTunes Store, so don’t miss it!
