News Disneyland Working on Future Master Plan- includes Theme Park Expansions, Retail/Entertainment Space, and More!

Here is a question- their last Disenyland expansion "Galaxy's Bland" was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Do you really trust these imagineers to successfully pull off this giant expansion?? These are the guys who gave us noooo kinetic energy Luke or Darth Vader in their Star Wars land and make it look like a depressing bombed out town in the middle east and also gave us this:

Would you rather they tear down existing DL attractions or expand across the street? This buys Storybook Land and the Subs another lease on life.

I would rather they fix Tomorrow land and make DCA not suck before trying any expansion

From the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce

>> Today, the Walt Disney Company unveiled DisneylandForward, a multi-year initiative to engage Anaheim residents and officials to update the Disneyland Resort’s development to meet present and future demands for an integrated, immersive entertainment and vacation experience. DisneylandForward will form the basis for future expansion of the Resort.



"This is exciting news, coming as the Resort Area begins to re-open,” said Todd Ament, President and CEO of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. "DisneylandForward’s vision means business growth, more and better jobs, and increased tax revenues to invest back into Anaheim’s neighborhoods.”



“The economic engine of Anaheim is about to become bigger and generate more opportunity and hope for the city,” said Ament.



The DisneylandForward initiative comes on the heels of Disney’s announcement that it will re-open the Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure on April 30, initially at limited capacity but expanding as the pandemic recedes.



If you would like to learn more about these exciting plans for the future, please visit the project website at DisneylandForward.com.<<

How very coordinated.

Operationally, I LOVE the idea of secondary access to Disneyland AND Disney California Adventure. Give Main Street a break! Heck, that new back way might become the preferred way to leave for lots of people.

As someone whose career is related to the development field.....this is often how it goes. Many developers don't green light the cost of putting any serious thought or designs into a plan unless they can get the general concept the preliminary approvals needed first. Get enough approvals in place to prevent future denials and then value engineer the heck out of it.

This isn’t even general concept. It is the most, ridiculous thing they could do if essentially exempt from the development review process.

Also, what is the road clearance required around electrical towers?

That would all depend on the utility easements.

This is basically like since we are right near the (assumed) end of Covid, when everyone is looking forward to life AND Anaheim is hurting for cash, Disney is basically like "You want money and jobs right?"

I think we have to go with the quote on the back for sure. As for the logo I’m thinking a beehive with this guy flying out of it...

I was thinking we could make it Pooh-themed (plenty of bee imagery there), keeping the Disney look without a Disney message. We don’t need our entire title, just “The Hive” with our individual names. The next Disney social club, basically. Lol.

What @raven24 said....

I think it was said by a regular MiceChatter... but I might not be remembering that correctly, so don't quote me on that. Someone else might remember better.

You’re right, it was MiceChat.

Some of us DO know everything, BTW.

DL is being short sighted with only two new overpasses over Disneyland Drive.

Put one giant overpass over DL Dr. and add 20 acres.

DL Dr. will be perfectly fine as a tunnel.

Oh marketing...... I'm so very entertained that they made sure to use the word IMMERSIVE in there. Although, should I be disturbed that the "New Kind of Disney Entertainment" is NOT immersive?

And how can it be truly immersive with the Disneyland Hotel and Paradise Pier Hotel in the middle of the expansions?

In the artist concept, just about every 'land' is surrounded by mountains.

The expansion of DTD has direct views of hotels.

I doubt half of this ever becomes real and if it does..shame on Disney for doing this before fixing DCA, fixing all the issues with Indy, before fixing Tomorrowland. Also also, I find it funny when there is Disneyland news all of a sudden people from the wdw side come over here to give their 2 cents after months of never posting on here or being a regular on this side.

I feel like that would assume Disney see’s all of those things as actual priority issues worth addressing over expanding capacity.

Forever.

How do you hide the Disneyland hotel though? It’s what, 15 stories high?

They could just incorporate the hotel like has and is being done with other park hotels.

How is it being done? Grand California works because it’s not very tall and was built to match Grizzly Peak. What can they do to retroactively make the very tall and pedestrian looking Disneyland hotel towers not stick out like a sore thumb?
