World Showcase At Night.. The American Adventure

Let's continue on our little journey around the World Showcase at night time. It really is a beautiful place to wander - and our next focus is delightful at night.

The American Adventure is a beautiful building, patriotic in nature, with an historical and informative attraction within. Although I am not an American, I would like to think that Americans are very proud of this being their pavilion. In my opinion, it very much reminds me of a culmination of buildings from Boston and similarly historical cities.

Let's have a look at the Imagineering Field Guide's detailing of this building:

Our building's edifice is an example of English Georgian architecture, prevalent during the 18th-Century reigns of King George I through King George IV, and therefore common in colonial America as well. This style expresses itself in the Greek-revitalist porticos, the stone-quoined corners implying strength and solidity, and the characteristic clock and bell tower above the roof. This look carries over to the American Gardens Theatre, designed as a fitting compliment to the main building.

The colour palette at the American Adventure is very tightly controlled. One can see in all of the concept art throughout its development that this was always on the minds of the design team. The red, white, and blue colour scheme repeats itself throughout the pavilion. We see a red promenade, white pilasters on the marquee, and a blue-tile fountain. We have 110,000 red bricks, white architectural trim, and the blue sky backdrop. The flowers are always planted in red, white and blue groupings. And there's always a layer of banners and buntings declaring the patriotic learnings of the place.
