Beach Village

 


OVERVIEW:

When guests first enter the park, they come across a group of surfboards spelling the name of the island. Near that are some bouncing floor fountains that guests can try to catch, and beyond that is the gate. This gate has a straw roof and is held up by wooden poles, making it look like a hut seen in the coastal areas of Southern Mexico.


When proceeding into the area, guests find wooden huts and buildings all around, rather than the traditional tiled stone buildings that Spanish areas are known for. This is done to add a further emphasis on this region, which is not what most people think of when they think of Mexico. It adds a further interest in this type of design.


Over the lazy river is where guests will find the wave pool, where guests can float in. Towering over that is the mighty Mountain of Kukulcan, which looks like a serpent is curled up at the top of it. This is what tells guests that they have entered a new place.


Around the village, guests can find most of the help and services of the park. Also around here is where all of the restaurants, shops, and non-attraction places are too. The people here add to the experience, helping guests feel more immersed in the culture of this part of the world.

Here, they are presented with three separate programs. In their SeaRider program, guests will shrink down to the size of a fish and explore the ocean. In their Marine World program, guests will learn more about the life inhabiting the world’s oceans. Finally, in their Turtle Talk program, guests will interview a voluntary sea turtle and learn about his world, while he learns about their world too. This may be a smaller area compared to the rest of the park, but it is still worth seeing. Here, guests can even spot some sea lions down by the bay. (Possibly Fluke and Rudder from Finding Dory. ) Other notable sights include a lighthouse, some seagulls who say “MINE!”, and a boat, which is parked near a pier sticking out of the base.
