Marker Disneyland: Harbor Square

 

This is a smaller section compared to others in the park, but it's still interesting to see. It is based on San Francisco at its height prior to the 1906 earthquake. Here, guests can see a city on the rise before its fall.

This area is split into two sections: Chinatown and the wharf. North of Big Thunder Mountain is where guests pass underneath a dragon gate and enter the Chinatown area. Here, they can eat at the Mandarin Kitchen, located on the right, and the Jade Teahouse on the left. On the left side is the Garden of the Twelve Friends, which represents the Chinese Zodiac as Disney characters. On the right side is Secrets of Chinatown, a trackless ride. Chinatown Market is a gift shop nearby.
Walking into the harbor, guests come across Ghiradeli Chocolates and Golden Gate Gear, which are connected by an overhead bridge. Mission Street Cantina is a Tex-Mex restaurant located on the other side of the road. On the side of the wharf is Fisherman's Place, a seafood restaurant, and Museum of the Weird, a gift shop. Near a cable car house is a manor resembling the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, where the Haunted Mansion is housed.

I created this area just so I can use the Winchester Mystery House for the Haunted Mansion. I know that it clashes with the Chinese cultural area (Chinese culture has a different view of the afterlife than ghosts), but I thought I could make it work by segregating the areas.

    Love the idea of Winchester as the Haunted Mansion! I’d be interested to hear more about the trackless rude and what it’s like.

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...
