Port Orleans

 

Come on down to New Orleans for a jazzy good time. In Big Easy, get all the things from shops to restaurants and maybe even some Mardi Gras stuff. You can even stay by the charm in the nearby hotel, Disney's Mardi Gras resort. From here, you shall access all of the other adventures in the World of Wonders.

When first walking in, you enter what looks like the French Quarter of New Orleans. On the left, attached to the hotel, you can find the Big Easy Office, where you can get help and services. On the right, you can go to Mardi Gras Confections, a gift shop. In front of you is Cafe Orleans, Cristel de Orleans, and Louis Armstrong's Jazz Club, behind which you can find a bridge to Volcanic Isle. To the right, you will find French Quarter Store, the largest store in the park. To the left, you will go along the hotel on the left, and on the right you will find Wilderness Explorer sign-ups, French Market, and Jazz Shop. If you keep going, you will cross a bridge over to Magical Highlands.
Continuing left from Cafe Orleans, You will come to a bayou place. If you go north, you will find Tiana's Celebration Tour, a ride that serves as a sequel to The Princess and the Frog where Tiana and Naveen prepare for their first-ever Mardi Gras performance. The ride exits into Mama Odie's Voodoo Shack. To the west of the Bayou is Tiana's Palace, which resembles the restaurant seen at the end of the film. If you continue on, you will go into Chinese Bay.

This area was a total problem solver. I had three problems before this came into my mind: 1, I wanted the Princess and the Frog ride and Splash Mountain to be two separate attractions so I could keep the latter the same, and then I took New Orleans out of Frontierland, but then I needed somewhere else to include Princess and the Frog, 2, I was conflicted on what to make the opening area of Disney's World of Wonders and my original idea, basically another Fantasyland, wasn't working for me, and 3, I wanted a new theme for a built-in hotel. When the idea of New Orleans came to my mind, all three of those problems were solved. The name came from the hotel duo in Walt Disney World. During my first trip to Disney World, we stayed at the Port Orleans--Riverside Resort, so the name has some value to me. By the way, this turned out pretty great. Fun fact: the storyline of the ride here is actually what the re-imagined Splash Mountain's story would be, but I don't see a thrill ride with a storyline like that. I decided to make it just a simple slow-moving dark ride where you ride in a tiny steamboat. By the way, I threw in Wilderness Explorers at the last possible second because I thought it would provide a fun park-wide experience. Plus, it kind of fits with Up being involved in the park. There will be four more places to sign up, but Avengers World, Star Wars: Spaceport, and Magical Highlands will not have them.

    I think the MartinGras feel will be very fun for this section. I hope to see a parade themed to it as well.

  In the southwestern corner of the park is a world of superheroes. Here, you can embark on adventures with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and those beyond the rim.

Here, you can take in the sights of Wakanda, visit the Avengers' new headquarters, discover a lost sanctum, or come to the Nova Empire's first recruit facility on Earth. When you come in from Amazon Delta, you enter the largest sub-area of the land, which is based off of Wakanda as it is seen in Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. You can also see a giant panther statue on your left as you enter, which recreates the statue seen in the films. Also on the right is Wakanda Traders. If you walk further into the town, you are immersed in a marketplace.
