American Waterfront is a "port-of-call" (themed land) at Tokyo DisneySea in the Tokyo Disney Resort. It represents the Northeastern seaboard of the United States in the early 20th century, and features two themed areas, an Old Cape Cod section, and a New York Harbor section with an elaborate backstory.

Theming[]

The American Waterfront is themed to resemble a New York City enlivened by new immigrants, and the New England fishing community of Cape Cod.

New York is depicted as a bustling city during the 1910s, complete with an elevated railway, a classic American Theater and a harbor displaying a large range of boats, including the massive S.S. Columbia. This city's backstory revolves around the wealthy Harrison Hightower III, whose power grew stronger amid New York, as one can guess seeing his Hightower Hotel, symbol of his might until he mysteriously disappeared after retrieving a cursed African idol. His business rival Cornelius Endicott, owner of the S.S. Columbia ocean liner and a vast shipping empire has since picked up much of the slack, though his effort to tear down Hotel Hightower was blocked by his own daughter Beatrice. As such, New York Harbor features the main attractions:

• Tower of Terror, inside the Hightower Hotel, guests will unravel the story and fright behind the tragic disappearance of Harrison Hightower III after bringing in a cursed African idol named "Shiriki Utundu"
• Turtle Talk, inside the S.S. Columbia, where guests meet Crush, from the Disney.Pixar movie Finding Nemo, as they look through an underwater window.
• Toy Story Mania!, the popular ride from Disney California Adventure Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios, based on the Toy Story movies, located within the Toyville Trolley Park sub-area.

The Cape Cod area of American Waterfront is home to Duffy the Disney Bear and his friends.
