Disneyland Forward Unlocks a Universe of Possibilities
The Anaheim City Council has unanimously approved Disneyland Forward, a groundbreaking .9 billion expansion plan that will transform the beloved theme park resort.
This ambitious project is a comprehensive 40-year agreement that will guide the future development of Disneyland, allowing for the creation of thrilling new attractions, enchanting shops, and delectable dining experiences. The expansion will unfold within existing Disney-owned areas, bringing fresh enchantment to every corner of the resort.
Where Magic Comes to Life
The heart of Disneyland Forward lies in the expansion of the resort’s west side, where a vibrant new district will emerge alongside Disneyland Drive. This area will be home to cutting-edge park attractions nestled amidst a vibrant blend of hotels, shopping havens, culinary delights, and immersive entertainment.
Imagine exploring the enchanting realms of “Tangled’s” Rapunzel, embarking on a thrilling adventure through “Zootopia,” or whizzing through the futuristic world of “Tron.” Disneyland Forward whispers the promise of bringing these beloved stories to life like never before.
A Legacy of Enchantment
“Disneyland Forward is our legacy project,” declared Ken Potrock, Disneyland Resort President. Disney’s unwavering commitment to pouring at least .9 billion into the resort over the next decade paints a vivid picture of the magic that awaits.
Beyond the theme park’s boundaries, Disneyland Forward extends its transformative touch to Anaheim. The plan allocates millions of dollars to infrastructure enhancements, including improved sewers and roadways around the resort area.
Community Enrichment
Disney’s commitment to the community goes beyond the theme park. The company has pledged million for affordable housing, million for city parks, and the continuation of workforce programs in Anaheim. This investment demonstrates Disney’s dedication to enriching the lives of those in the surrounding community.
Whispers of New Lands and Attractions
While official plans for new attractions and experiences have yet to be revealed, Disney enthusiasts and company executives alike have hinted at tantalizing possibilities. Could we see the vibrant villages of Arendelle from “Frozen,” the captivating kingdom of Wakanda from “Black Panther,” or the enchanting town of Santa Cecilia from “Coco” brought to life at Disneyland?
Exclusive glimpses of these upcoming additions may be unveiled at the D23 fan event, taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center from August 9-11.
A Shared Vision
Disneyland Forward is a testament to the shared vision of Disney and the City of Anaheim. This collaborative effort will create a legacy that will inspire generations of families and thrill-seekers, solidifying Disneyland’s position as “The Happiest Place on Earth.”
