A little sleuthing suggests that it&#8217;s specifically the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mysterious_Island_%28Tokyo_DisneySea%29\">Mysterious Island<\/a> portion of the park, which is all themed around the works of Jules Verne.<\/p>\n<p>Having worked for the Mouse for several years I never thought I&#8217;d want to set foot in a Disney property ever again, but suddenly I really want to go to Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Having worked for the Mouse for several years I can also say that the Imagineers who design the look-and-feel of the Disney properties don&#8217;t miss a trick.  There are all kinds of fantastic ideas for decorating in the High Steampunk style.  (The photos aren&#8217;t labeled as to exactly where in the park they were taken, but from the nautical details I&#8217;m going to guess that it&#8217;s probably the queue area of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction.)<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a Tokyo Disney fan site with some more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tdrfan.com\/tds\/mysterious_island\/index.htm\">good photos<\/a> of the Mysterious Island area of the park, and <a href=\"http:\/\/dejiki.com\/2014\/04\/tokyo-disneysea-mysterious-island\/\">Dejiki<\/a> has several others.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been thinking about adding some steampunk elements to your decor, EPBOT&#8217;s design series and the Mysterious Island theming would be an excellent jumping-off point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jen of EPBOT is renovating one of the rooms in her house into an amazing steampunk rumpus room, and has a fantastic series of posts on her build progress.
