Nautical Kingdom: Mermaid Lagoon

 

One of two family areas located in the park, this area brings guests to the nautical world of The Little Mermaid. With two areas, the land and sea, guests can immerse themselves in the world of the film. While this may not be the most thrilling area, it is a good area for little kids.

When walking over from the Fortress Explorations, guests first see the spires of Atlantica. In front of it is where guests can find a spinning ride called Scuttle's Shufflers, where guests are pulled by crabs around a beach area. Then, they can go inside Atlantica, where an indoors area is. This is where they can find the kiddie rides Jumping Jellyfish, a small drop tower, Blowfish Balloon Race, a spinning balloon attraction, and The Whirlpool, a teacups-style ride. Also here is Ariel's Playground, a kids' play area, and Ariel's Grotto, where guests can meet Ariel. Sebastian's Kitchen is a restaurant while Whoosits and Whatsits is a gift shop.

Going around Atlantica, guests come to the "land" portion of the area. Here, guests find bridges to Ancient Delta and Arabian Coast as well as a border to the Marine Life Institute. When entering the section, they enter a Mediterranean village, home to Les Poissons and the Village Market. The key attraction here is located near Prince Eric's castle. This is where guests can ride Voyage of the Little Mermaid, an extended version of the ride found in Disney's California Adventure and the Magic Kingdom. Inside Prince Eric's castle, guests can eat with the princesses at the Palace Dining Room.

When deciding on a family area, I looked into what Disneysea already had. One thing they had was an indoors area with kiddie rides themed to The Little Mermaid, so I took that idea and expanded on it by adding the land section. While it may be more for little kids, I do think this is an improvement from past versions of this I had.

    I love this! I think it’d be very popular. It’d be really cool to add in an aquarium of sorts somewhere in the sea area too.

Dream Kingdom: Main Street, U.S.A.

Image
  Like most castle parks, guests enter the park through Main Street. Recreating a Midwestern American town at the turn of the Twentieth Century, this area takes inspiration from Walt Disney's childhood home of Marceline, Missouri. What sets this apart from other Main Streets is that it has tunnels into nearby lands that are not accessible from the hub. After going through the main gates, guests will come across a floral Mickey below the train station. They will then enter the town square through one of two tunnels on both sides of the hill. On the left side is City Hall, where guests can find help and services. In the town square, they can also go up to the train station and board the Disneytopia Railroad, which departs to Frontierland. On the right side of the square is Mickey and the Magic Hat, an original stage show. Guests can also meet Mickey himself in Mickey's Magic Room near the theater. Near City Hall is the Firehouse, where guests can pick up wands and sign up for Dre...

  Across the river from Mermaid Lagoon is another family area, Arabian Coast. Inspired by the mythology of the Middle East, specifically Aladdin, this land immerses guests in an exotic location with many fun surprises. When crossing the bridge from Mermaid Lagoon, guests come into a bazaar. To the right is a large Arabian Palace, home to the Sultan's Palace restaurant as well as a double decker carousel, the Caravan Carousel. Going into the bazaar, guests will find things such as 3 Wishes and Enchanted Bazaar, both of which are shops, and Open Sesame, a restaurant.

Going further to the left, guests find a large, Arabian fortress overlooking the water. Here is where they can ride Sinbad's Storybook Voyage, which relates to a ride in Tokyo Disneysea.
