Heading away from Mt. Crumpet, guests happen upon the Welcome to Whoville entrance way. A lot of inspiration for this area was taken straight from Dr. Seuss’s book with no straight lines anywhere in Whoville. The buildings are misshapen but extremely colorful, and this Whoville more like the a “real” town instead of just a collection of buildings. There’s a clock cleaner hanging near the top of the clock tower, and at night, the silhouettes of the resident Whos can be seen in the windows. There is also a town hall where guests can register to become citizens of Whoville (guests are transformed into Whos on thier picture ID) or pick up a Birthday Bird Button so everyone can greet you like a true Honk Honker.
Guests will notice familiar street signs like Mulberry Street and Bliss Street and see familiar characters like the Mayor, Old Doc Whovey, and Sargent Mulvaney wandering the streets. Special entertainment can be found in the re-enactment of
Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now? in the main plaza, and the audience participation heavy
Wacky Wednesday sketch performed, of course, on Wednesdays.
Ever wonder what the inside of a Who’s house looks like? Well Old Doc Whovey is having an open house. Wander inside his home, peak inside his refrigerator, and snoop through his closets on this interactive self-guided tour before heading upstairs to see his Who-Who Scope. Lucky guests will be able to hear the voice of Horton as he talks with his old friend, Doc Whovey.
Green Eggs and Ham
Over in the car park, is the flat ride dedicated to the story of Green Eggs and Ham. Similar to the MegaWhirl, this ride has guests (up to four) take a seat in one of 12 different cars ready to whipped around "random" mild or intense curves creating the illusion of near misses and 360 degree turns. As the riders are whipped around, the screens situated around the outer ring will spring to life and Sam I Am will appear to convince everyone to try green eggs and ham in increasingly amusing situations.
The Cat in the Hat Cleaning Service
One of the most unusual services to be found in Whoville, that for certain, but no one can complain that the Cat in the Hat doesn't get the job done. Just ask Sally and Conrad, and they tell you true, the is nothing that the Cat in the Hat can't do! Except maybe control Thing 1 and Thing 2.
This simple chair swing takes on a who new dimension as the upper portion of the ride and the rotating top would be themed to the Cat in the Hat's cleaning machine and all the seats would look like an extension of its arms. A big yet simple Cat in the Hat animatronic that only moves its head would be located at the on the rotating top of the chair swing and made to look like he was sitting in his cleaning machine while adding commentary throughout the ride.
The bottom half of the flatride will have pictures of Thing 1 and Thing 2 doing various messy activities that light up and disappear along with light up blotches, scratches and other messy stuff that would slowly be cleaned up as the ride goes on and by its conclusion would completely disappear. The ride would be narrated by The Fish from the Cat in the Hat as he warns you that you must hurry up and finish cleaning before the children's mother gets home. The Cat in the Hat will also chime in from his cleaning machine at the top of the ride and add funny(yet unhelpful) snippets to entertain guests.
Food Options
This quick service dining location is the premiere dining location for the Whos of Whoville and all of their visitors because of Mr. Ish's famous wish dish. He can make anything he wishes appear on his special dish, and he has graciously offered to use his dish to provide the greatest delicacies of the Dr. Seuss world.

There's a Wocket in My Pocket - Interactive Adventure
Throughout Suess Landing, guests will be able to meander and trek through the vast, colorful forests of the land, on a scavenger hunt themed to the classic Dr. Suess tale - "There's a Wocket in my Pocket"
Common in continental US Disney Parks, in-park scavenger hunts have become quite popular among children and families as a way to 'interact' with the environment, creating a kinematic theme park experience. Throughout the children's book, a boy finds strange creatures throughout his house. In this theme park experience, you'll be walking throughout the land, finding all sorts of bizarre and eclectic creatures in hidden locations. Through an interactive "wocket" you'll walk throughout the land following rhymed clues based on your location throughout the land, to let you know something is close.
For example:
Have you ever stopped hot on the spot?
Like the Yot in the Pot?
A small pot would be hidden among the trees and a small animatronic "Yot" will pop out as you get close to it.
There will be a grand total of 7 locations to find throughout the adventure - additionally including - yeps on the steps, the nooth grush on his toothbrush, the wasket in his basket, the zamp in a lamp, the yottle in the bottle, and Nureau in the bureau.
Some of the locations will be found in restaurants and shops as well, as the book takes place in a house, and Suess Landing takes place in a forest setting. The locations scattered throughout the forest will tend to hold many of the locations - but you'll have to find out for yourself on this interactive adventure!
Oh, the Stories You’ll Read is the Who’s bookstore stocking all of Dr. Seuss’s works and even his biography. Displayed behind the cash register is the prominent Dr. Seuss quote: “Open a Book, Open Up Your Imagination”.
The local pet shop,
What Pet Should I Get, is the best place to take home a very own pet from the wacky world of Dr. Seuss. With so many to choose from it seems quite impossible. Guests can choose from an oversized Yent, a seven hump Wump, a horned Zans, a singing Ying, a boxing Gox, a one haired Zed, a ring loving Gack, a hopping Yop, or a sleeping Zeep. Or, incredibly, if none of these are suitable, guests are invited to make their own pets. Similar to build-a-bear, guests can choose a pet to be stuffed and customized to each guest’s specification. Each pet comes with its very own carry home basket.
At the crossroads near the center of town, guests can either choose to go left or right. Both directions will take guests out of Whoville, but one is definitely friendly than the other. Guests choosing to go left will see a sign thanking visitors for visiting Whoville. But as guests leave they notice a strangely out of place wall. At the end of this stone barrier are two snack stands that are only separated by that strange wall. At first glance it looks like these stands are nearly identical but guests will notice that one of the snack stands is staff by people in blue with a banner proudly declaring Butter Side Up! and the other is staffed by orange clad workers who declare that Butter Side Down! is the right way to go. Guest have unknowingly stepped into a battle, a butter battle!
The Great Yookeroo's Right Side Up Vegemite Butter and
The Great Zookeroo's Right Side Down Vegemite Butter
Based on one of the more controversial books Seuss has ever written, these two snack stands serve up an Australian delight, Vegemite butter. Although, both stands offer different Vegemite based snacks, be very careful when "crossing" the wall as the Yooks and the Zooks are ready to fight over who is right.

(crackers with butter and Vegemite)

Toast with Vegemite Butter
Guests who decide to hang around and relax with their Vegemite snacks may be treated to the re-enactment of Dr. Suess's Butter Battle Book. A yook and a zook meet at the wall with increasingly bigger and better gadgets in show of force that always ends in a stalemate. Those lucky few may even be treated to the sight and sounds of the Right Side Up Song Girls as they march through. Although this battle always ends in a stalemate, the simple but large scale props are sure to keep guests wanting to jump over the wall to see if this time, the battle will end.
For those guests wishing to leave this silly battle behind, they may head back to Whoville or head onward to Sneetch Beach (opening Summer of 2023).
Back in Whoville, guests who decide to go right will see a sign pointing to McElligot's Pool. This pool is just outside of Whoville as most guests begin to notice that old boots and broken parts litter the grass leading to the pool. Surely this can't be the town dump?! But no, there's the pool, and it looks like there are poles already set up.
McElligot's Pool is a fishing game where guests can fish for different parts to make a fish. Each guest gets six casts to collect the various (plastic) body parts like a checkerboard belly, sail fins, long saw snouts, colorful heads, wacky tails, and other accessories. But be careful you don't accidentally catch a boot or an old tire. As guests continue to fish, images of the strange looking fish from the book appear in the water, tempting guests with what could possibly be down there. At the end of their fishing session, guests can opt to take their creation home with them for a small fee.
Just beyond McElligot's Pool is a snack stand featuring some definitely fishy options.
Another Great Australian favorite, this snack stand offers fish-shaped Arnott’s Shape crackers in a variety of different flavors and combinations.

Opening in the summer of 2023, a kid's play ground called As Wet As You Can Get will allow guests from McElligot's Pool to head straight into a new area called the Jungle of Nool. But for now, guests are invited back into Whoville and continue their visit.
As guests leave Seuss Landing via the main road through the Truffula Tree Forest, they notice one last Seuss poem on the back of the Seuss Landing sign.
How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before
it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the
time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
Coming in the summer of 2023, is PHASE 2, and the unveiling of two additional areas for Seuss Landing: Sneetch Beach and the Jungle of Nool.
Sneetch Beech
Sneetch Beach will open with several new experiences such as The Problem With Sneetches, a meet and greet opportunity at the Sneetches frankfurter roast, and the chance to shop at the one and only Sylvester McMonkey McBean’s.
The Problem with Sneetches
This is a dark ride through Dr. Seuss’s story about forgetting who has stars upon thars and getting along despite the differences. The ride cumulates in a ride through Sylvester McMonkey McBean’s machines and using pepper’s ghost technology, be given temporary stars. (The number of stars may vary for each guest.)
Sneetches at the Beaches
Guests looking for some one on one time with these funny creatures need only wait until the parade Sneetches makes their way to the beaches. Once they have arrived, the will intermingle with guests near the Frankfurter Roast to have their pictures taken. Meanwhile, other Sneetches will walk around to enjoy the beach by sitting under beach umbrellas and playing simple games.
Sylvester McMonkey McBean’s
This gift shop is dedicated to those funny creatures, the Sneetches. Pick up a plush sneetch with any number of stars on their bodies, grab a copy of Dr. Seuss’s The Sneetches, or even try on a yellow sneetch hoodie.
The fluffy top Truffula Trees begin to fade away and give into thick trees and brightly colored plants and vegetation. Here guests can wander through the home of Horton the Elephant and the other creatures who call Nool their home.
Horton Hears a Who
Shrink to the size of speck on this new simulator ride that take you through the classic story of Horton who much so that a person is a person, no matter how small.
Wickersam Brothers Co.
This gift shop has all the things a Who in the Jungle of Nool could need. Although many of the books by Dr. Seuss can be found here (Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches the Egg, Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose, and Yertle the Turtle), it is also the best place to get your own Horton egg to hatch, a tub of Oobleck, and Thidwick Moose plushes.
The Jungle of Nool Theatre
This theatre set deep within the wilds of Nool hosts guests in a open air theatre with a tree lined canopy. Guests may sit in any of the wooden bench seats to take in seven 15 minute shows all featuring the stories of Dr. Seuss. Shows will alternate days to provide variety and allow for upkeep of the props and actors.
Featured shows will be
Gertrude McFuzz,
Horton Hatches the Egg,
And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,
Daisy Head Maisy,
Yertle the Turtle,
Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose, and
Bartholomew and the Oobleck.
The Big Brag Trail
This walk-through attraction follows the story of a boastful bear and a proud rabbit as the try to prove who is the best of the beasts. This trail uses button activate pop ups to tell this story of the two biggest fools ever seen.
Clover Cliff
At the end of the Big Brag Trail is Clover Cliff. Guests can marvel at the field of clovers that seem to go on forever. However, set against the backdrop of Mt. Zorn, guests can barely see the statues of two stubborn Zax. Using one of lever activated Zax-a-scopes (telescopes) pointed at the Zax, guests will get a closer look at these creatures and hear their story. Once the telescope is engaged, the guest pulls the lever to change the scene to make certain cutouts appear around the two Zax. For instance, after the lever is pulled, a cut out of snow seems to engulf the Zax up to their chest, and in another scene, cardboard rain cut outs appear over their heads. As the lever is pulled and the scene changes, the story of the Zax is told in its entirety.
Wet As You Can Get
In the middle of Nool sits a small pond named Lake Winna-Bango and in the middle of the pond is the small island of Sala-ma-Sond where Yertle the Turtle sits proud a top of his long suffering subjects. Beware though, as the disgruntled turtles will spit out water at unsuspecting guests. This wobbling fountain is interactive as well as when you push on the bottom turtle named Mack, the rest of the stack shakes and twirls around. They all shout in alarm and guests can even hear King Yertle yelling from the top. Other water works include Horton spraying water from his trunk, a vat of “beezlenut oil” spouting up big plums of water, and the many color and fanciful fish of the Dr. Seuss world, joining together to make a long chain of jumping fountains.
Bird Brain Lane
Tessa Toucanella is at it again! Hang around to hear her whisper all of the strange and amusing news from the Jungle of Nool to all of her gossiping, flighty friends.
