World of Enchantment: Adventureland

 

Welcome to a land of adventure, where guests can travel to exotic places in the world. This area, located in the northwestern corner of the park, features several bold attractions that place them in amazing locations. Aside from that, they can also see glimpses of Polynesia, South America, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia.

When coming in from the hub, guests first enter a Polynesian village. In the center is where the Liki Tikis will spray guests on hot days. On the left side of the village is Tangaroa Terrace, an outdoor restaurant, and the Island Supply gift shop. On the right is Aloha Isle, famous for its Dole Whip ice cream, and an updated version of the Enchanted Tiki Room. On the far side of the area is a covered pavilion where We Know the Way: A Celebration of Moana is found. It is a stage show recreating Moana's journey with authentic Polynesian dances, stage performers, puppetry, and music.
To the left of this Polynesian area is an outpost in the Amazon rainforest. This area features two gift shops, Adventureland Travelers and Amazon River Traders. Also here is the Explorer's Club, which serves as a restaurant. Located towards the edge of the area is a port for the Jungle Cruise, a new version of the attraction with new jokes, a journey through the Mekong, Nile, Congo, and Amazon, and a few other new additions. There are even nighttime cruises where the areas are lit up and some other surprises come, such as fireflies, fires, and more.
Going north, guests enter a Southeast Asian village reminiscent of Kumandra, the land seen in Raya and the Last Dragon. Boun's Shrimporium is seen on the left side of the area, serving Asian food. Here, guests can catch a glimpse of passing boats on the Jungle Cruise, beginning their journey into the tropical jungles of the world. Talon Market and Ongi Plunder Shop are gift shops nearby, as well as a Thai/Vietnamese food restaurant called Dragon Bites. Located in the back of the area near a recreation of the Heart arch is Raya and the Dragon Journey, a motion simulator ride where it's supposed to feel like you're running on raindrops. The ride exits into Talon Traders.
In the center of the area is Treasure Island, a Tom Sawyer Island-esque area that guests can explore. Located on this island are such attractions like the Swiss Family Treehouse and Pirates Beach, a treehouse attraction and a children's playground. This area is accessible through bridges from the South America, Southeast Asia, and Caribbean areas. North of the Polyenesian area is the Caribbean area, which recreates a Seventeenth Century Spanish Caribbean fortress. Treasure Trove is a gift shop while the Pirate's League allows guests to become pirates or mermaids. The Jolly Roger is parked near the fortress, and it is a pirate ship that guests can explore. Inside the fortress is Pirates of the Caribbean, a new version of the ride. Guests can also eat at Blackbeard's Bounty, a restaurant where they can see boats passing by from the ride.

In the Disney Parks, Adventureland is one of my favorite areas. It's because there's a lot you can do with the idea of exploring exotic lands. For this one, even though it might feel like a rehash of previous Adventurelands I've done, I've centered a lot of the attractions around the theme of water. To an extent, each attraction features or references water in some way. Personally, I think the theme of water helps this area flow better, and it is in the center of the land with a moat surrounding Treasure Island, so there's that.
