Marker Disneyland: Frontierland

 

This is a land that tributes the story of American settlement. Here, guests get a glimpse into American history and folklore and see how it was like in the days when America was still being expanded. This is an outlier of the four main lands because it shares open borders with another land, Harbor Square. However, they flow together well because it represents turn-of-the-century San Francisco, which also ties into American history.

This area has two sections, a Wild West village and a forest settlement. Guests pass by signs going into Frontierland. There is no gate so that the parades can go through. When they enter the area, they come across the village. To the left is the Silver Horseshoe and Western Wares, a restaurant and a gift shop, as well as a path to board the Davy Crockett Riverboat. On the right side is Prospector's Plate, a restaurant. The unique attraction here is The Age of America, a 30-minute audio-animatronic show about American history, starting with the Native Americans and pilgrims and ending with the end of World War II. It is narrated by three people, Benjamin Franklin (representing the Eighteenth Century), Mark Twain (representing the Nineteenth Century), and Walt Disney (representing the Twentieth Century). Past this is Pioneer Parlor, a shop, and the Frontierland Shootin' Gallery. Ahead of the town is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the classic rollercoaster. A path from there goes to the start of the parade route, as well as entrances into Harbor Square and Fantasyland.
Going west from the area and an entrance to Adventureland is the woodland area. Native Post sells Native American souvenirs while Grandma Sycamore's is a restaurant. This is also where guests take rafts to Tom Sawyer Island in the middle of the Rivers of America. At the end of the area is the Marker Disneyland Railroad station, where guests board trains to Fantasyland. Nearby is the towering woodland-inspired Splash Mountain, which takes inspiration from the Tokyo version of the ride (sadly, the last version of the ride still in existence.) The ride exits into Splashdown Store.

This area went through some minor development. I wanted an American Show, but I didn't know where to put it, so I did it here. I know that Splash Mountain is a nearly-extinct attraction, but I wanted it here. It was my second favorite ride behind Big Thunder Mountain, and it's arguably the most iconic log flume ride in the world. However, we live in a world where controversy ruins everything, so now we have to lose it and get the woke, out-of-place attraction they call Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Although I've had to accept it because I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening, I'm dearly going to miss my Splash.

    I’m also going to miss the original Splash Mountain. It was one of my favorites too—along with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I’m glad they’re both here.

Marker Disney Studios: Buena Vista Street

Image
  When guests enter the park, they enter a recreation of 1923 Los Angeles, how it was when Walt Disney first came to the city. With many fictional businesses referencing his life and early career, this tributes the man who started it all. This street is shaped like an inverted 'L,' making it an interesting shape. When guests first walk into the studios, guests see a small park in the front of the street. This is where a statue of Walt and Mickey is known as "Storytellers." It is inspired by the statue seen in DCA, Tokyo Disneysea, and Shanghai Disneyland. On the left, guests can find help at the Studio Building. On the right, guests can learn more about Walt Disney at the One Man's Dream exhibition. Also nearby is the Celebrity Spotlight building, where guests can meet Disney characters. As guests go down the street, they see several shops and restaurants. On the left is The Studio Store, which is the largest store in the park, Clarabelle's Ice Cream, Disney B...

Marker Disneysea: Arabian Coast

  This Middle Eastern area is another family area, even though its rides are more family-centered than the ones in Mermaid Lagoon. This area has a theme based off the Arabian Nights stories, most especially Aladdin. When crossing over from Mermaid Lagoon, guests enter a Middle Eastern port. A dhow (Arabian boat) is seen nearby on the left. Also on the is Aladdin's Flying Carpets, a spinner ride where guests may get squirted by camels. Closeby is the Sultan's Palace restaurant, where guests can eat an authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, and the Caravan Carousel, a two-story carousel where guests ride camels. Guests can also shop at the nearby buildings, Open Sesame and 3 Wishes Bazaar. A snack stand known as the Eats of Agrabah is also nearby, as well as the station for the Marker Disneysea Steamer Line, which goes to Forgotten Rivers. Further up north past a second bridge to Mermaid Lagoon is a small, Arabian building where guests ride Sinbad's Storybook Voyage, a dark ride s...
