First you cross a rickety old footbridge, lined with primitive masks, shields, weapons, and human skulls The great thatched sign welcoming you to the land glows eerily at night as nearby bamboo torches light up the surrounding darkness.

=== Tomorrowland ===
== Disney's Hollywoodland Park ==
Disney's Hollywoodland Park is the second theme park of London Disney Resort and is a reverent celebration of Hollywood – not as a place on a map, but as a state of mind. The notion of Hollywood is alive with sights, sounds, glamour, fame, adventure, and mystery. For that reason, Disney Hollywoodland Park is also an movie studio.
Hollywood is a place of enduring hope where stories come to life and viewers escape into impossible worlds of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy. That describes Disney's Hollywoodland pretty well, too.
=== Hollywood Boulevard ===
Passing under the soaring, teal Pan-Pacific Gates (modeled after the iconic entrance to Los Angeles’ loved-and-lost Pan-Pacific Auditorium), guests enter not into a film set or a studio backlot, but into Hollywood in the 1920s to the 1990s. This is Hollywood Boulevard. Hollywood Boulevard operates as the Main Street U.S.A. central point of the theme park and is loaded with tons of interesting shops and sights, filled with the nostalgic era of an Los Angeles avenue, an era of entertainment and art. The boulevard is brimming with excitment, welcoming guests into the world where the movies come to life.
=== Animation Courtyard ===
Animation Courtyard is a land devoted to the business that has made Disney what it is today - animation. Walt Disney was an innovator, a dreamer, a conceptualist, a designer, but had started his influential career as an animator. Ever since he was a child, he was a drawer and loved the process of putting together images to simulate moving pictures. He had studied all sorts of information regarding this new kind of art. He had created some of the most beloved characters, such as Mickey Mouse, whom he had drawn and provided the voice for in the earliest years of the character. Animation Courtyard used to serve its' purpose as an actual studios where animated features used to be produced.
=== New York Street ===
Welcome to the city that doesn't sleep. Welcome to New York City! This area will bring you through some eras of New York. See the Statue of Liberty, the beautiful shops, the most attracting restaurants and the happiest New York citizens. One of the tricks of New York Street is that most of the buildings are actually facades built with framework to simulate a canvas for the directors and set designers to work with. Most of the buildings are facades or flat sets made to "simulate" a city for production purposes, rather than "build" a city. That will change. Largely inspired by the New York section of the American Waterfront at Tokyo DisneySea & New York in Universal Studios Florida. The buildings along New York Street will be turned from flat sets to actual buildings. This will help breathe new life into the area of the park, and create a more immersive experience for the guests.
=== Backlot ===
The Backlot area will show us the magic behind the movies. Backlot will have movie making equipment all around the area and different directors and actors can be seen. These characters will be interacting with the guests of Backlot in Backlot Movie scenes. The area will be all about stunts, effects, strategies and backstage adventures.
=== Production Courtyard ===
Production Courtyard is the place where we will get the feeling that the movies or TV shows are being filmed. Backlot, New York Street and Production Courtyard have a connection since Backlot is the behind the scenes area of what is actually happening in Production Courtyard. Production Courtyard will be connected by studio building and film producing props.
== Port Disney ==
Port Disney is the third theme park of London Disney Resort. This theme park will be a theme park similar to Tokyo DisneySea, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Alton Towers and a Disney version of Universal's Islands of Adventure. Near the entrance is another square.

The first area will be The story of the park will be that Mickey found a powerful sorcerer called the Writer, who creates worlds by the use of his pencil. The sorcerer now has created several kingdoms for us, guests to discover so that we can the heroes of our own stories. The park will have 10 themed areas. They will be Adventure Harbour, Tongzhai Valley, Storybook Forest, Star Wars Outpost, Marvel Superhero City, Arabian Coast, Discovery Island, Vulcania and Mythos,
=== Adventure Harbour ===
Start and prepare for your journeys in Port Disney here in Adventure Harbour. This will be the heart of this realm of magic where you can start to experience the unique atmosphere.

The area will be build up similarly to Mediterranean Harbor at Tokyo DisneySea and Port of Entry at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The buildings will be build in a new style as if a whole new culture exists here. The town will be a seaside town near the central body of water of the park. Every themed area is connected to this body of water and this is also where the nighttime show will play. Adventure Harbour is where explorers come to refresh and prepare themselves for the great adventures ahead in the world of stories. This Harbour town will have architecture from Italian, Spanish, Greek, American, Austrian, French and British influences.
