 » Port of Entry

 

 

 

The Port of Entry is the first island guests encounter upon entering the park. Much like Main Street, U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom, the Port of Entry mainly consists of shops, restaurants, and guest services, although there is one attraction located at the edge of the island. The area is themed to be a fictional town in which merchants from the four corners of the globe have gathered to sell various and assorted goods. Consequently, some of the most unique souvenirs can be found in one of the island's many stores. The buildings that make up the island are modeled after many different cultures including such places as Venice and Timbuktu. The park?s main icon, the towering lighthouse located just outside the entrance, shines the way to an adventure filled day. While attractions are lacking in this island, the bustling marketplace-type atmosphere complimented by architectural wonders, incredible shops, delicious dining experiences, ominous music, and helpful guest services make up for it to create a unique and amazing island.

 

 

 

 
  • According to "The Adventure Comes Alive" video, the lighthouse is 133 feet tall.
  • The lighthouse is modeled after the Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria, Egypt, which is one of the “Seven Wonders of the World.”
  • Don’t just breeze through this Island—Port of Entry is actually the home to some of the most detailed scenery found in the park. From the special touches such as the creaking of a bridge as you walk underneath, to the signs, names, and even conversations coming from the buildings around you - this island is full of hidden Easter eggs and details that can only be found with a look around.
