The project represents the opening phase of an Eastern Gateway transportation hub intended to redesign guest arrivals.

Overview

  • The application was submitted to the City of Anaheim on December 22, 2025 for 1585 S Manchester Ave, and the resort is awaiting the construction permit to be issued.
  • Plans indicate capacity for about 6,000 vehicles and 302 electric-vehicle charging stations.
  • The permit calls for “construction of a new core and shell” for an eight-level, 3,247,394-square-foot structure.
  • The hub design features rideshare and shuttle areas, security screening, a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard, and dedicated access via Disney Way.
  • Construction is expected to begin in fall 2026 as a multi-year build that lays the groundwork for DisneylandForward expansions including Avengers Campus growth, a Coco-themed ride, and an Avatar destination.
