Have you seen Tokyo Disney Sea? From the videos I've seen, Its a Jules Verne / Victorian Sci-Fi lovers dream.

Heck yeah! I went to Japan in 2009... Tokyo DisneySea is freakin' AMAZING. The Jules Verne content is found in Mysterious Island, which is based on Nemo's base in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and has both the 20,000 Leagues ride and Journey to the Center of the Earth ride, which are tied for my favourite Disney attractions ever. The other rides and areas of the park are nothing to sneeze at either, all centred on the theme of the adventure inherent to exploration. My other favourite ride there is Sindbad's Storybook Voyage, which has a heck of an earworm for a song.

There's no Tiki content to speak of though. The equivalent to Adventureland in DisneySea is Lost River Delta, which has an import of Anaheim's and Paris' Indiana Jones rides (both of them). For anything Tiki you have to go over to Tokyo Disneyland, which has a version of the Enchanted Tiki Room with Stitch raiding the show and a version of the Jungle Cruise that has more of a serious story to it. Tokyo is that one-off case where the "second gate" park actually outshines the "magic kingdom" park. My wife has never been to Japan so we're saving up to go in the next year or two, and if it wasn't for her never having been there, I'd probably skip Tokyo Disneyland altogether and just do DisneySea now that I've done it once already.
