Disneyland's Expansion Approved, Set to Transform Anaheim Resort
The Anaheim City Council's unanimous vote paves the way for Disneyland's largest expansion since its opening, enhancing visitor experiences without enlarging its physical footprint.
- The expansion, named 'DisneylandForward,' allows for the development of new themed areas like Arendelle and Zootopia, capitalizing on popular franchises.
- Disney plans to invest $1.9 billion in the first decade, with additional funds allocated for local infrastructure and housing.
- No public funding is required for the project, which aims to increase the resort's annual visitor count significantly.
- Proposed new attractions include immersive environments based on 'Avatar' and potential lands like Wakanda, enhancing thematic diversity.
- The expansion will utilize existing land more efficiently, converting parking lots into themed attractions and improving overall guest flow.
