Hotels at Markerland

 There are three different hotels at Markerland, each one catering towards a different budget. Markerland Hotel (Deluxe Value) Done in a mid-century futuristic design, this hotel is a tribute to the Markerland Park itself. It features ten floors of hotel rooms and five themed sections based off the live "lands" of the park. It also features an indoor pool, a buffet, a gym, and a sports complex where guests can engage in active fitness. Marker's European Resort (Moderate Value) Inspired by the beauty and charm of Europe, this old-time resort brings its most iconic cities to life.

Markersea: Mysteria: World of Magecraft

Image
 For the first time ever, guests get to enter the world of the Magecraft stories. This draws primarily from the films adaptations of the books (assuming there would be some) and recreates the village seen there, but there are references to the books too. When guests go on the trail out of Asian Waterfront, they can either follow it back to Victoria Bay or take a branch off and head off to Mysteria. They go through a tunnel in the Might of the Naga and exit into the Emerald Forest on the other side. There, they go through the gates and enter into Sorcerer's Square, where the statue of Magnus Canimoor is. On the left side is a recreation of the City Hall, as well as the Golden Moose Inn. On the right, guests can find more shopping at Lilac's Salon and Snorty's Joke Shop. Ahead of them is the lake, where guests can see Mysteria castle in all of its glory. If guests choose to go left, they will find the Snoring Hog restaurant. Also here is Spruce's Wandmakers, where guests ...
