Arendelle: World of Frozen: An Introduction

Image
  OVERVIEW: Guests enter a blue portal with decorated snowflakes and an icy spire on top of it with the phrase "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" on it. Guests then proceed through cyan light and enter the world of the film. On the other side, they appear in a Scandinavian village reminiscent of the one seen in the movie. Here, they can engage in three separate attractions, several dining and shopping options, and even interact with the local townspeople, who will recommend certain places for them to see. In addition, the area is snow all throughout the year, so it always has that wintry feel to it. With all it has to offer, this area is fun for the whole family and is worth melting for.

Avengers Campus: An Introduction

Image
  OVERVIEW: Guests go through a high-tech portal with an Infinity Gauntlet on top of it, holding all six Infinity Stones. On the sides of the portal, guests can see the emblems of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man. On top of the portal is the phrase "Avengers Assemble." Guests then go through some red light and enter Avengers Campus. This is a high-tech area complete with screens, futuristic buildings, and nods to several heroes of the Marvel universe. Now, although this is inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it doesn't take place in it. Instead, it is a separate theme park universe where several characters are still alive and events like the Blip didn't happen. Aside from interacting with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, guests can also experience attractions based on them. It is also where some of the most thrilling attractions in the park are located.

Tomorrowland: An Introduction

Image
  OVERVIEW: If Discoveryland was yesterday's tomorrow, this is today's tomorrow. Only, it's seen through the lens of Science Fiction. Space Rangers, aliens, Jedi, lightcycles, all of this create one interesting world. This is one of the most high-tech areas of the park, and one of the more "American" areas too. It doesn't take inspiration from Disneyland Paris or anywhere else, but creates a unique environment with technology and lighting that makes it look out of this world. In addition, this features the first Disney attraction that can take you to another park. The Galactic Transport is a Hogwarts Express-style ride that takes guests to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disney's Blockbuster Studios.

Discoveryland: An Introduction

Image
  OVERVIEW: Throughout time, many people had their own visions of the future. Some of them came to pass while others simply faded into history. However, their ideas were remarkable and deserve to be celebrated. In this land, those ideas are celebrated. This is Discoveryland, a Tomorrowland from yesteryear. Here, guests can see old ideas of the future from people of the past, like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Leonardo da Vinci. In addition, this area is split into two sections: a Steampunx land and a Renaissance village, honoring the great thinkers of those times. Unlike the Parisian version of this land, it doesn't feature Science Fiction characters. Tomorrowland will do that for it.
