The American Adventure – The American Adventure is an attraction that takes audio-animatronics to the next level, coordinating them with scenes and footage, which takes place on the 72-foot wide projection screen behind them.

The scenes are presented in still images, animations, movies, and over 35 audio-animatronic figures.

Shopping in the American Adventure Pavilion

The Art of Disney – Collectibles, framed artwork, and sculptures. This shop displaced the original Heritage Manor Gifts during the 5-year long construction at the front of the park.
