Of course all the old details remain around the Sailing Ship Columbia’s dock, including the nod to Admiral Joe Fowler at Fowler’s Inn.

The addition of Pelican’s Landing only builds on the story of the area surrounding these older details, and we’re excited to see that thematic integrity was respected while adding more seats to Harbour Galley at the densely-packed Disneyland Park.

I really like this. It was just foliage there before, so no walkway room was lost, and the Harbour Galley has needed more seating for a very long time. And Disney did a great job with the theming and story elements.
