DinoLand U.S.A.

**DinoLand U.S.A.** is a themed land at Disney's Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida and serves as the park's home to dinosaurs and other prehistoric life, as well as related modern animals.

## Backstory

DinoLand U.S.A. originally started as a small highway town where an amateur fossil-hunter found some dinosaur bones in 1947. After contacting some scientist friends, they gathered their money together to purchase the site. Since then, scientists, volunteers, and grad students have been living there trying to find answers about dinosaurs. The Dino Institute was founded and opened the site as a "fossil discover park". An old fishing lodge of the property became the Restaurantosaurus. Meanwhile, the Dino Institute and their partners at a research facility called Chrono-Tech discovered how to warp vehicles through time, and thus started doing time tours.

Chester and Hester, two locals, were determined to make a quick buck and converted their gas station into a fossil souvenir shop. Not to be out done by the Dino Institute, they turned their parking lot into a small amusement park called "Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama", featuring their own version of DINOSAUR named Primeval Whirl. They also added TriceraTop Spin and the midway games.

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort

**Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort** is a Disney Vacation Club Resort located in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Designed by Cooper, Robertson & Partners, it opened on March 1, 1996.

## Description

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is a vacation rental accommodation that’s part of the far-reaching Disney brand of timeshares. This property is on a secluded 15-acre (6.1 ha) island in the Shelter Cove Harbour area of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

The mid-island resort has an intentionally rustic theme and this property very much caters to kids. The rooms, grounds & location clearly accommodate a family crowd.

The rooms are spacious, clean and have kitchens and balconies. "South Carolina Lowcountry" is the theme & style of Disney’s Hilton Head Island resort. The grounds are well-kept and modern, with amenities that include hammocks and grills.

Disney Hilton Head is top-heavy with activities for children, including nature programs, campfires, magic shows, “Kids Night Out”, crabbing, art, swimming pool & pool games, biking, kayaking, tennis and more things to do.

The Disney Hilton Head resort is on Hilton Head’s Broad Creek, which is technically a land locked tidal marsh. A shuttle bus transports guests to the Disney Beach House in Palmetto Dunes, which is about a mile-and-a-half away. There guests enjoy a private swimming pool with bathrooms and a snack shop right on the Atlantic Ocean.

The resort does not have a full service restaurant, but there are two spots to eat: The main resort building and at The Beach Club. Both serve lunch, however at the main resort it serves breakfast. Adjacent Shelter Cove has a nice mix of restaurants and a supermarket. HarbourFest, now in its 19th season, runs every Tuesday night from June 5 - August 21 at Shelter Cove Marina, featuring arts & crafts, live entertainment, and fireworks at sunset. There is a special HarbourFest celebration on July 4. In addition, "Summertime at Shelter Cove" features five nights of family entertainment by Shannon Tanner, who plays two shows per night.
Port Discovery

**Port Discovery** is a "port of call" (themed land) at Tokyo DisneySea in Japan. It is hailed as "the marina of the future". It is sometimes called the "Tomorrowland" of Tokyo DisneySea and is somewhat of a cross between the never-built Discovery Bay concept for Disneyland and Discoveryland in Disneyland Park (Paris).

Home to the fictional 'Center for Weather Control', Port Discovery is home to three attractions: StormRider, a large-scale simulator ride; Aquatopia, a boat ride that uses LPS tracking (the 'trackless' technology also used in Tokyo Disneyland's Pooh's Hunny Hunt) to move and spin through a lagoon amid waterfalls and whirlpools, and the DisneySea Electric Railway, an overhead electric trolley that transports riders to and from the American Waterfront.

When StormRider was replaced by the Nemo and Friends SeaRider, the land was given a makeover to transform the Center for Weather Control into the Marine Life Institute and numerous statues of *Finding Dory* characters were placed throughout the land.

## Attractions

**Current**

* Nemo & Friends SeaRider
* Aquatopia
* DisneySea Electric Railway

**Former**

* StormRider

## Restaurants

* Horizon Bay Restaurant

Toon Studio

**Toon Studio** is a land at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris, France. The land, formerly known as **Animation Courtyard**, received a revamp in 2007 to features a more colourful and "immersive," theming.

Developed by Walt Disney Imagineering, the new land was announced on January 11, 2005 by Euro Disney S.C.A., the owner and operator of Disneyland Paris, as part of a new initiative to add new attractions to both theme parks made possible by a major financial restructuring. The new creative director for Walt Disney Imagineering, John Lasseter, has made it clear he is reviewing all concepts for attractions that have been definitely commissioned, and in particular the Toon Studio is an area he wants to expand upon.

The Toon Studio concept is a spin-off of the Mickey's Toontown idea. Mickey's Toontown is an area at three other Disney theme parks where guests can experience the living environments of Disney characters, whereas the Walt Disney Studios is being publicised as where the Disney characters "go to work" (as demonstrated in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*), producing their animated films themselves using conventional movie-making equipment such as cameras, lights, the clapperboard, etc..

Disney Transport

**Disney Transport** is a mass public transit system of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake, Florida which provides free service to guests of the resort. The transportation system consists of buses, a monorail system, a gondola lift system, watercraft, and parking lot trams. Most of the routes operated by Disney Transport are buses that run along the resort's public roads maintained by the Reedy Creek Improvement District and private roads. None of these modes of transportation charge a fare, which makes the entire network free to use.

## Buses

Except where a transportation service exists or walking is practical, direct bus service is provided from every hotel to every park and Disney Springs, as well as between parks. The buses are fare-free for all visitors to Walt Disney World, which typically start 45 minutes before the park opens and end an hour after the park closes but run from Disney Springs to the resorts until 2 a.m. Bus stops are located near park entrances; near Disney Springs' Town Center entrance; and along roadways inside the resort or near the resort's entrance .

### Features

At the resorts, there are screens that sometimes indicate when the next bus to a given park will be arriving. This technology tracks the buses through GPS technology to give projected wait times, though buses usually run at intervals of no more than twenty minutes. On board the air-conditioned, ADA-accessible buses, announcements are played to indicate points of interest and bus stops. These announcements use GPS to determine which announcements should be played at which locations. All buses are ADA-accessible and can carry two wheelchairs or mobility scooters per vehicle which must be folded before boarding.

### Routes

The four theme parks, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom, as well as Disney Springs, operate as the five primary hubs. Each of the four theme parks has service to the 22 resorts and the other parks. Disney Springs has service only to the resorts, except for one-way service from the theme parks to Disney Springs after 4 p.m. Bus service is not provided on some routes served by monorail or watercraft to resorts on their line.

The non-denominational chapel seats up to 300 guests and is only available through Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons program. According to Disney, the site can host up to six ceremonies at the Wedding Pavilion per day. The Disney Wedding program can host weddings in many locations across Walt Disney Property, but the Wedding Pavilion is the most widely used.

In addition to the chapel, the venue also includes Franck's, a planning studio inspired by Martin Short's eccentric character in Disney's 1991 film *Father of the Bride*.

The Wedding Pavilion is equipped with three built-in video cameras, as well a control booth that allows the camera operators to capture everything that is going on during the ceremony.

Designers at Walt Disney Imagineering set the site so that Cinderella Castle is framed in two views: through a window behind the indoor altar where ceremonies are held, and through a hedge arch outside the chapel.

"Can accommodate up to 250 guests, depending on your chosen Collection."

Disneyland Paris

“*Where Magic Gets Real.*”
―Official slogan.
**Disneyland Paris** is a vacation and recreation resort in Marne-la-Vallée, a new town in the eastern suburbs of Paris. The complex is located 32 kilometers (20 miles) from the center of Paris and lies mainly on the territory of the commune of Chessy.

The entire Disneyland Paris complex features two theme parks, an entertainment district, and seven Disney-owned hotels. Operating since April 12, 1992, it was the second Disney resort to open outside the United States (following Tokyo Disney Resort), and the first to be owned and operated by Disney. With 14.5 million visitors in the fiscal year of 2007, it is one of Europe's leading tourist destinations.

Disneyland Resort Paris is owned and operated by French company Euro Disney S.C.A., a public company of which 39.78% of its stock is held by The Walt Disney Company and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products through Disneyland International, 10% by the Saudi Prince Alwaleed and 50.22% by other shareholders. The park is run by chairman and CEO Karl Holz.

The complex was a subject of controversy during the periods of negotiation and construction, when a number of prominent French figures voiced their opposition and protests were held by French labour unions and others. A further setback followed the opening of the resort as park attendance, hotel occupancy, and revenues fell below projections. In an effort to improve its public image, the complex was renamed from **Euro Disney Resort** to **Disneyland Paris** in 1994. From 2002 to 2009, the resort was named **Disneyland Resort Paris**, before reverting back to Disneyland Paris. In July 1995, the company saw its first quarterly profit. A second theme park, Walt Disney Studios Park, opened its doors on March 16, 2002.

Disney's Haunted Halloween

The first Halloween event at Hong Kong Disneyland was Disney's Halloween in 2006. The event featured a mini-parade with the characters in costume, a band, and dancers.

In 2007, Disney's Haunted Halloween featured some haunted experiences including a haunted maze called “Main Street Haunted Hotel”, the new home of the former Rocky Point Haunted House in Salt Lake City, Utah. Also, a nighttime parade called Glow in the Dark Halloween Parade was added, which featured five brand-new floats. In addition, there was a Ghost Galaxy layout for Space Mountain (since imported to Disneyland for their Halloween activities) and a talking haunted tree in Sleeping Beauty Courtyard akin to Disney World’s much friendlier talking palm tree at Animal Kingdom.

The park continued to celebrate the Halloween with some new scary experiences in 2008, including two new haunted attractions in Adventureland: "Demon Jungle" and "Adventureland Haunted Trail". Also, some add-ons were introduced in "Main Street Haunted Hotel". Tomorrowland was invaded by "aliens" in 2009. In 2010, Disney's villains were "taking over" as Maleficent hosts a "Scare in the Sky" fireworks spectacular and Main Street became even more haunted. The Headless Horseman will be the central theme of the 2011 activities, including rides in the park, and a theme area in Adventureland.
Costa Rica Pavilion

The **Costa Rica Pavilion** was a proposed pavilion for EPCOT's World Showcase initially developed in 1979 as a potential opening day pavilion. However, Imagineers were unable to secure a sponsor and the concept went unused.

## Design

The Costa Rica pavilion would have featured two mixed environments, with the scale model featured a mix of the San Jose city environment and a greenhouse containing rain forest vegetation, a waterfall. and a tropical beach. it also would have featured an aviary and a fishing location, as well as at least one restaurant and shop, such as a jewelry store, a tourist center and a painting demonstration. There was also a room called The Garden Room
Disneyland Park (Paris)

**Disneyland Paris** is a theme park which is a part of Disneyland Paris. Owned by Euro Disney S.C.A., it is one of two theme parks in the complex just outside of Paris, in Marne-la-Vallée, France.

The park is based on a formula pioneered by Disneyland in California and further employed at the Magic Kingdom in Florida and Tokyo Disneyland in Japan. Occupying 566,560 m² (140 acres) it is the largest Disney park based on the original in California. The park opened as **Euro Disneyland** on April 12, 1992.

## Dedication

*To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Once upon a time... A master storyteller, Walt Disney, inspired by Europe’s best loved tales, used his own special gifts to share them with the world. He envisioned a Magic Kingdom where these stories would come to life, and called it Disneyland. Now his dream returns to the lands that inspired it. Euro Disneyland is dedicated to the young, and the young at heart... with a hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration for all the world.* - Michael D. Eisner, April 12, 1992

## History

As the fourth park to be based on the original in Anaheim, California, modifications were made to the concepts and designs of the park. Among these changes was a shift from Tomorrowland to "Discoveryland", giving the area a retro-futuristic theme rather than futuristic, which would be difficult to keep current. Other elements that were altered include the Haunted Mansion, which was redesigned as Phantom Manor, and Space Mountain. The park's location in Europe brought forth its own challenges. For instance, the castle is said by its designers to have been necessarily evaluated due to sharing a continent with real statues.

Modifications to the park were made to protect against changes in weather in the Parisian climate. Covered walkways were added and Michael Eisner ordered the installation of 35 fireplaces in hotels and restaurants. “People walk around Disney World (sic) with humidity and temperatures in the 90s, and they walk into an air-conditioned ride and say, ‘This is the greatest,’ ” said Eisner. “When it’s raining and miserable, I hope they will walk into one of those lobbies with the fireplace going and say the same thing.”

The park, as well as its surrounding complex, initially failed to meet financial expectations. This resulted in an series of changes in which the word "Euro" was phased out of several names, before settling on its current name; Disneyland Paris.

As with the rest of the resort, Disneyland Park was temporarily between March 12 and July 15, 2020 in an effort to prevent the spread of Covid-19, and again on October 30.
Mexico (pavilion)

The **Mexico Pavilion** is a part of the World Showcase in Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort. The pavilion opened on October 1, 1982.

## Layout

The pavilion resembles an ancient Mesoamerican pyramid. Once you enter the pyramid first you stroll through a museum area which contains traveling exhibits on Mexican culture and history. As you exit this museum area you enter a plaza on the shores of a lake set at night time. The plaza has vendors selling their wares from carts as well as some buildings with shops on the bottom floor. Also on the waters edge there is a romantic Mexican restaurant, the San Angel Inn. From the opening of the pavilion in 1982 to 2007, El Rio de Tiempo was a boat ride that encompassed the culture of Mexico. In 2007, El Rio de Tiempo was given an overhaul to suit the current generation and thus the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros opened on April 6, 2007.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

**Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge** is a themed land at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It is the second *Star Wars*-themed land, following its Disneyland equivalent.

## History

*Galaxy's Edge* is replacing the majority of the park's Streets of America, including the *Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show* and *Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure* which closed on April 2, 2016, as well as the surrounding backlot facades, restaurants, and shops. Together with the previously closed The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow attraction, *Galaxy's Edge* is part of a major expansion of the park that includes Toy Story Land. The remaining operating portions of Streets of America (containing Muppet\*Vision 3D) were left undisturbed and renamed as Muppets Courtyard (later Grand Avenue). The land will be accompanied by the Star Wars Hotel. Both the land and the hotel will be connected by a specially-themed transport system that will take guests between the two.

Morocco (pavilion)

The **Morocco Pavilion** is part of the World Showcase in Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. It opened on September 7, 1984, as the first expansion to be added at the World Showcase.

On December 10, 2020, since Tangierine Cafe is now temporarily closed due to lack of Demand, and Walt Disney World reopened after being temporarily closed in late-March, EPCOT had announced that all restaurants and shopping are temporarily closed for a short period ahead, due to COVID-19 pandemic.

## Layout

The Morocco Pavilion, designed to look like a Moroccan city with a realistic Minaret, features the only pavilion in which the country's government aided in the design. Guests to the pavilion gain insight on lifestyle and culture of the Moroccan people through the Gallery of Arts and History. The Fes House shows guests the typical Moroccan house. Inside the pavilion, North African plants including citrus trees, date palms, and olive trees. The pavilion plays hosts to entertainment, including a belly dancing show in the evening. Restaurant Marrakesh, along with the Tangierine Cafe, and serves Moroccan fare, including roast lamb in tajine, couscous, and harira soup. Spice Road Table, meanwhile, serves small Mediterranean dishes such as harissa chicken roll. Six shops adorn the pavilion, selling patrons everything from rugs to leather goods, and traditional Moroccan clothing.

Some of the major defining structures of the pavilion include Chellah, a replication of the necropolis in Rabat, and the Koutoubia, a replica of the minaret of the same Marrakech. A replica of Bab Boujeloud, the gateway to the Fez medina leads you to a Bazaar area.

King Hassan II actually sent Moroccan artisans to design and create many mosaics. Due to Islamic religious beliefs on the content of art, the mosaics contain no representations of people. The government also sponsors the pavilion, while a corporation holds sponsoring rights on every other pavilion.

Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Genie from the Disney film *Aladdin* can be met in this pavilion.

Discovery Island

**Discovery Island** was a zoological park lying on an island in the middle of Bay Lake, behind Disney's Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World. It was closed shortly after the opening of Disney's Animal Kingdom.

## History

The island had a history long before Disney's involvement. It was originally known as *Raz Island*, named after the family that once lived on it. Later it was bought out and named Riles Island and used as a hunting retreat. Then in 1965, Disney bought it as part of its strategic property acquisition, which would later become Walt Disney World.

When the park opened on April 8, 1974, it was given the name **Treasure Island**, with boats offering free passage to its docks. Prior to the decision to fully commit to developing it as a zoological park, concepts were drawn for experiences based on the *Treasure Island* film featuring caves of treasure and encounters with ghostly pirates. However, beyond location names, the only element that would make it to the park was a shipwreck set up on the beach. The shipwreck was utilized as a set in the film *Treasure of Matecumbe*.

It had nature trails to show off endangered species which the island helped repopulate. After its recognition as a zoological park it was renamed Discovery Island in 1978 and most of the pirate elements were removed. The island was known as the home of the last dusky seaside sparrow before it died in 1987. When Disney's Animal Kingdom opened in 1998, it was decided that Discovery Island had outlived its usefulness and the park closed to guests on April 8, 1999. Over the next few months, the island's animals were moved to Disney's Animal Kingdom and the park's central hub, originally named Safari Village, was rebranded to Discovery Island in tribute to the original park and as a response to early guest confusion over the location of the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction. The move was completed on July 9, 1999 and the island has sat abandoned ever since.

There was only one plan to bring it back: Disney teamed up with the developers of Myst to develop a cutting edge experience known as Myst Island; however, the plans never got through the concept stage.

The structures on the island can still be seen today, but are very hard to see due to the overgrowth of vegetation. The island itself can easily be seen from the upper floors of Disney's Contemporary Resort and Fort Wilderness Lodge.

Liberty Square

“*"From this Gateway stirs a new nation waiting to be born. Thirteen separate colonies have banded together to declare their independence from the bonds of tyranny. It is a time when silversmiths put away their tools and march to the drums of a revolution, a time for gentlemen planters to leave their farms and become generals, a time when tradesmen leave the safety of home to become heroes. Welcome to Liberty Square!*”
―Entrance Plaque
**Liberty Square** is a themed land at Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Themed after colonial America, replicas of both the Liberty Bell and the Liberty Tree can be seen here. One of the most popular attractions in the Magic Kingdom, the Haunted Mansion can be found here, placed to evoke New England's history of ghost stories with authors like Edgar Allen Poe and Washington Irving. The centerpiece of the land is The Hall of Presidents, an American History show featuring an audio-animatronic figure of every President of the United States. It has a long waterfront on the Rivers of America and the Liberty Belle Riverboat steamboat departs from a landing here. It affords excellent views of the river and Tom Sawyer Island in adjacent Frontierland.

## Layout

The United Kingdom Pavilion, designed to look like a typical British village, looks like 1/100 villages that are in the UK, although it could be argued that it is more stereotypical, with buildings based on different periods of British architecture. There are British gardens (including a hedge maze). The shops sell British items, such as tea, toys, clothing, and The Beatles merchandise. There is also a band called "The British Invasion" that performs hits from acts such as The Police, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Blur, and Led Zeppelin, daily in the Pavilion. The Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room serves traditional British food, as well as beer and ale. There is also a quick-service counter serving traditional Fish and Chips. There is also a sport shop selling British sport equipment, including Chelsea F.C. and Liverpool F.C. shirts, along with a shop selling traditional British confectioanry.

At the 2019 D23 Expo, an expansion to the Pavilion based on *Mary Poppins* was announced, with a new neighborhood based on Cherry Tree Lane serving as the facade for a Mary Poppins dark ride.

Disney's Hotel Cheyenne

**Disney's Hotel Cheyenne** is a hotel located at Disneyland Paris. Designed by architect Robert A. M. Stern (who also designed Disney's Newport Bay Club), it is devised to create the illusion that it is a Western town in the archetypal Hollywood style rather than a single hotel complex. This is accomplished through façades and other decor inspired by popular representations of the American Old West. The façades feature the names of such Western institutions as "Saloon", "Jail", "Billy The Kid" or "Annie Oakley". It shares an area of Disneyland Resort Paris with Disney's Hotel Santa Fe, located on either side of a man-made river called the "Rio Grande". (The actual Rio Grande forms the border between Texas and Mexico.)

The hotel opened with the Euro Disney Resort in April 1992.

Around 1997, the hotel was surrounded by white "desert" sand and the streets were still largely covered in this sand, giving it the feeling of a quiet desert town. A few years later however the streets had been paved and the whole town was surrounded by pine trees. There is also a fort on the outskirts of town.

Before the pine trees were planted, Hotel Santa Fé was clearly visible from this area, because they were only separated by the Rio Grande.

Hotel Cheyenne is 10-minute walk from the resort's parks and there is a regular free shuttle bus between the hotel and the parks.
