American Waterfront: New York

American Waterfront: New York

American Waterfront is divided into two distinct districts: New York City (circa 1900) and Cape Cod. Reminiscent of the turn-of-the-century, New York features red brick buildings with elaborate facades. Shopping in New York is an event at McDuck’s Department store, where Scrooge McDuck has opened a retail establishment. Piles of gold coins rise to the roof and a statue of the proprietor sits atop a mound of money.

The imposing S.S. Columbia (which closely resembles the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, California) is actually dry docked and serves as an area to explore rather than ride. It features the Teddy Roosevelt lounge and acts as a stage for a show, which is changed out from time to time.

The S. S. Columbia Dining Room is an elegant sit-down restaurant. We did not try this restaurant and opted for Magellan’s in Mysterious Island instead. However, the ambience of the Columbia’s restaurant, with its grand piano and chandeliers, evoke a truly elegant atmosphere.

We almost ate at the Sailing Day Buffet restaurant off to the left of the S.S. Columbia, but we felt that an all-you-can-eat meal would bog us down too much. However, if you are in the mood for some gluttony, this is the only restaurant in the park that will satisfy that craving.

Restaurant Sakura is housed inside a cannery-like building along the New York waterfront. This is where one can go for sushi and other Japanese dishes.

The New York Deli offers counter-service sandwiches and snacks, while down the street, the Broadway Theater provides full-scale stage entertainment. If your time is limited at Tokyo Disney Sea, you may want to skip this show in favor of other attractions.

Adjacent to the Broadway Theater is the Electric Railway depot. The short ride from the depot to the Port Discovery station is enough to give your feet a rest. The monorail style ride lasts approximately 3 minutes.

Giving your feet a rest should be a priority, considering how much walking this park demands of its visitors. Another option is the Big City Vehicles, similar to the ones you might find on Main Street USA at Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom. We rode the classic fire truck, complete with a brass bell at the rear of the vehicle. The fire truck picked us up from the station outside McDuck’s Department Store and dropped us off in front of Aunt Peg’s in Hurricane Harbor.

If you have time, explore this area, especially if you like the Tower of Terror free-fall types of attractions. If you are short on time, there are other areas in the park that are much more compelling. However, I enjoyed relaxing and taking it easy here.
