Cell Wall The wall that surrounds the park is open and welcoming to visitors entering “Cell”ebration. Please come in and buy your tickets for your day long experience here at Disney. This wall is the outer barrier to show the size of our park and can be entered at any time by anyone who wishes to preview our park.

Cell (Plasma) Membrane The security checkpoints will be located along the sides of the park along the gate. The checkpoints ensure the interior of the park’s safety. We want all of our visitors to be safe and healthy. The security checkpoints help to maximize interior safety and minimize exterior “bacteria” from getting in. The cell membrane will let in all that have passed the security test. Thank you for your patience at the gates.

Nucleus When you first enter our lovely establishment you will notice Cinderella’s castle where all of our main activities are run. You will find most of the history for the entire theme park located within this attraction. It is located in the center of the park and it is the celebrity of the park. Inside the castle we have park maps that are free for your convenience. They are direct and proportionate copies to the park so that you can easily find your destination.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Disney’s theme parks have a new piece of technology that all other parks crave. The monorail is a train that is lifted above the park so that it can conveniently take passengers, food, and anything that can enter the park through the rest of the attraction areas. The monorail saves time and energy so that people don’t have to walk across the whole park, and it also enforces speed so that riders can get to their destination in a timely manner.

Ribosomes Located throughout the theme park, and often along the pick-up and drop-off locations of the monorail, are snack vendors. The snacks vendors all have different snacks so that no matter where you go you are bound to find a vendor with a different treat. You will know that you have located a snack vendor when you see one LARGE cart with food items, and one SMALL cart with drink items. The vendors will be located in areas other than near the monorail as well to enhance your travel experience here at Disney.

Mitochondria Disney’s theme parks are always running and giving people a magical experience here at Disney. The way that we continue to do this is with a back room at the end of the park that has a breaker for each of the rides, restaurants, and attractions within the park. It also has a large generator that all of the breakers are connected to. We have our own power plant that directly supplies Disney with electricity. We want to provide you with a wonderful experience while at Disney, and we can guarantee you that your stay here will be so much better knowing that you will always have lights and power to help you continue through out your day.

Chloroplasts We want you to keep going all day long so that you can visit as much of the park that is open as is absolutely possible. The way you can do this is by getting energy at our conveniently located Cafeteria of Life that will reboot you for your day. Disney is extremely environmentally aware and concerned; therefore, we use solar power to generate the energy the cafeteria needs. We are confident that you will enjoy this convenience as much as we do.

Vacuole We want all of your personal items to be safe throughout the day and easily accessible to you. To make all of this possible, we have a large locker bay that our customers can use at absolutely no cost. We want your trip to be happy, safe, and healthy, and this can all happen when you lock up your items and can go off to enjoy the rest of the park carefree.

Cytosol Here at Disney’s “Cell”ebration, we keep our lawn and sidewalks easily accessible and clean. We feel this is very important because all of our shops and rides are built along them. Also, we try to have many sidewalks so that they are not too crowded, but because of our large number of guests, it is sometimes difficult to get around. Please see our Endoplasmic Reticulum page for alternate transportation options.

Lysosome We also have trash cans conveniently located all around the park so that you don’t need to worry about having excess trash and waste on your hands during your park experience. We have these cans regularly emptied so that there is no buildup within the trashcans causing sickness of travelers and breaking down the entire system of the park.

Golgi Apparatus Along our streets we have many gift shops that will carry anything your heart can desire. There are often many in a row or stack so that if you can’t find something at one store you continue on to the rest of the stack. Many of the stores are near the exit/entrance for the monorail so that those entering/exiting the monorail can purchase goods and think about the souvenirs they want to take home with them. We also have complimentary gift-wrapping when the gifts are purchased. We know that many things which you will purchase at our store will continue on to see many people, and maintaining their appearance is, of course, important to you. The gift shops are also responsible for the trash cans that are located in and/or outside of the stores. If there is a problem or trash build-up, please notify the shop nearest the trash can. Disney!

Flagella/Cilia The cars and buses located in the parking lot are capable of moving most of the contents of the park to a new location. They can be loaded up and then transport everything to a new spot. When you see the HUGE buses outside, don’t be surprised; it could just be us getting ready to go on another road trip! Look for our show coming soon to a city near you.
