Anaheim, Calif. – Today, the Anaheim City Council is set to greenlight the transformative Disneyland Forward project, poised to inject new life into the iconic theme park and its surrounding areas.

Expansive Plans for Disneyland Forward

The multi-billion-dollar Disneyland Forward initiative promises an array of enhancements, including additional rides, hotels, and entertainment venues. The proposed expansion aims to revitalize both the western and southeastern sectors of Disneyland.

Last month, Anaheim’s Planning Commission gave the project its seal of approval following a series of public engagement sessions. The development blueprint entails:

• Introducing more theme park attractions and hotels west of Disneyland Drive.
• Creating a new entertainment district, featuring shopping and dining options, in the current Toy Story Parking Area.
• Exploring the possibility of new themed lands and even a third park.

Comprehensive Infrastructure Upgrades

In addition to the entertainment enhancements, Disneyland Forward entails substantial infrastructure improvements:

• Increased parking facilities east of the theme parks.
• Potential construction of pedestrian bridges spanning Harbor Boulevard and Disneyland Drive.

Disney’s Commitment and City’s Perspective

While specific plans remain undisclosed, Disney pledges a minimum investment of $1.9 billion across various amenities within a decade of project approval. City officials emphasize their focus on evaluating the project’s broader impacts, rather than individual components.

Anaheim’s officials underscore the symbiotic relationship between the city and its visitors. Tourism contributes significantly to the city’s revenue, funding essential services and debt repayment.

Future Prospects for Disney Parks

With over 1,000 acres earmarked for potential expansion, Disney’s vision for Disneyland Forward hints at vast opportunities for growth and innovation.
