Location: New Orleans Square, Disneyland
In the past we have discussed how at times Disney
uses things like forced perspective to help give guests the
impression that items are taller or further away than they appear.
In New Orleans Square in Disneyland, Imagineers have used the idea
of layering to give more depth perception to the land than most
guests probably realize.
As we know, New Orleans is set beside the Gulf of
Mexico in real life. While we have the Mississippi River being
represented by the Rivers of America on one side of New Orleans
Square, some guests may be curious as to where the main body of
water may sit. While we can't actually see the water in person,
Imagineers have given us a subtle reference as to where it is in the
area.
While standing near the entrance to Pirates of the
Caribbean and looking towards the streets of New Orleans Square,
take a look above the roofs to find ship sails in the distance. In
reality they are placed on the roofs of the buildings, but this
trick of the eye helps give us an idea of where the port in town is
located!
