I was just looking at the pictures of the upcoming Tokyo DisneySea theme park at the Mouseplanet web site and I couldn't get over how much some of the pictures reminded me of IOA. For instance, some of the DisneySea "Arabian Coast" pictures looked to me like images from IOA's "Port of Entry." Also, I wonder to what extent the PBH provided inspiration for The Hotel MiraCosta (at least the "bayside" of the resort) in the new park's "Mediterranean Harbor" section. If nothing else, it seems that IOA has raised the hurdle regarding attention to detail in theming.
The pictures are at the following site:

What do you think? Was IOA an inspiration or am I just imagining the similarities?
The new Tokyo park looks like it will be great (hopefully, someday I will be able to visit ), but I can't see Disney duplicating its design too closely in Florida because it might look like they are just following in Universal's IOA footsteps...and my guess is that is not the image that Disney wants to convey.
