Disney Buys 25‑Acre Former Yamaha Campus Near Disneyland for $115.3 Million

Shifting non‑guest offices, storage and parking offsite could free constrained Anaheim acreage for the DisneylandForward redevelopment.

Overview

  • Public property records show Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S. Inc. closed the purchase of the 25‑acre Yamaha campus at 6555 Katella Avenue for about $115.29 million, with the sale recorded on September 23, 2026.
  • The Cypress site includes office, industrial and warehouse buildings that served as Yamaha Motor Corp.’s longtime U.S. headquarters and sits roughly six miles west of the Disneyland Resort.
  • As part of the deal Yamaha negotiated a temporary leaseback so it will continue operating on the campus while it relocates, but reporting conflicts on the exit date with some outlets saying Yamaha leaves by the end of 2026 and others reporting the lease runs through the end of 2028.
  • Analysts and local coverage say the parcel is likely to be used for non‑guest functions such as administrative offices, costume/prop storage, maintenance yards or parking that would let Disney reclaim land inside Anaheim for new attractions under DisneylandForward.
  • Disney has not announced specific plans or a timeline for the property’s use and any phased moves will depend on the final leaseback schedule, so watch for official statements about occupancy, phased relocations, or reuse plans over the next year or two.
