(Redirected from American Waterfront (Disney))

American Waterfront is a "port-of-call" (themed land) at Tokyo DisneySea in the Tokyo Disney Resort. It represents the Northeastern seaboard of the United States in the early 20th century, and features two themed areas, an Old Cape Cod section, and a New York Harbor section with an elaborate backstory.[1]

Theming

edit

The American Waterfront is themed to resemble a New York City enlivened by new immigrants, and the New England fishing community of Cape Cod.

New York is depicted as a bustling city during the 1910s, complete with an elevated railway, a classic American Theater and a harbor displaying a large range of boats, including the massive S.S. Columbia. This city's backstory revolves around the wealthy Harrison Hightower III, whose power grew stronger amid New York, as one can guess seeing his Hightower Hotel, symbol of his might until he mysteriously disappeared after retrieving a cursed African idol. His business rival Cornelius Endicott, owner of the S.S. Columbia ocean liner and a vast shipping empire has since picked up much of the slack, though his effort to tear down Hotel Hightower was blocked by his own daughter Beatrice. The Cape Cod area of American Waterfront is home to Disney's Duffy the Disney Bear character and his friends.
