HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

The government also said that the Marvel expansion is a full-scaled themed land that will not only have one thrilling attraction (Spiderman ToT) but also supporting attrations just like WOF.

And they are much more open to discuss the 2nd park expansion although they have no plans now. The land is still available for Disney at this point of time.
Which is why I'm actually excited for whats to come to HKDL in the next 10 years. I can't even imagine it.

They also said earlier the Marvel expansion will not only host attractions but stores and restaurants too!

No. They went back to the legislative counsil to present the FY2024 results and updating future expanaions.

(but the meeting was held on 1/4. So....😂)

The expansion pad they have is much bigger than a TOT needs.

They could easily fit TOT, a QSFB and gift shop and another flat ride in the space they have

It’s also good to know that the land is still functionally Disney’s. It was basically always that way. The penny’s bay planning design prohibited a lot of things from going there and the only things that could go there wouldn’t want to be right opposite Disney anyway so it was basically a ploy to make Disney pay more to buy the land back when they were ready

They said Marvel is an ALL NEW expansion. I supppse they refer it to the Autopia plot. Stark Flight Lab can fit well next to Iron Man but they may go with another Avenger.

And they still talk nothing about the reimaginated attraction. It may just be the PhilharMagic upgrade.

That’s positive. At least it is the government occupying the space currently as opposed to a third party operator right now who might throw opposition to being forced out.

I can’t imagine the modular quarantine facility has that long of a shelf life left sitting.

None of its very limited pool of potential clients would benefit from being built opposite Disney with the chance that Disney could absorb them at a later date

About the only things that can go there are an aquarium, botanical gardens or some other kind of low intensity recreational facility or government buildings. The government doesn’t want to be that far out of the city and the others like I said don’t benefit in any way from being next to Disney

Omg how many stores and restaurants does Tomorrowland needs? Already got 3 stores selling the same thing and 2 restaurants.
Merchandise is the park’s biggest driver. It’s overperforms the other parks on merchandise sales relative to attendance by an incredible margin, no other park comes even remotely close

It doesn’t surprise me their goal is more merchandise stores. The current layout of the south side of the park doesn’t leave much space for them anyway so putting more in Tomorrowland makes sense

They shd rlly consider building a Disney Town along the Park Promenade, or at least a World of Disney store opposite to the HKDL MTR station.

Tahitian Terrace in Adventureland will be reimagined into a Moana-themed restaurant

Does anyone know if Disney owns the retail corridor land between the park and the MTR or is this like the second gate land? It would be interesting to know how the land ownership in the wider resort works

They own the retail land

Disney currently owns (and have exclusive control over)

-Disneyland
-the 3 existing hotels
-the one hotel space between Disneyland and explorers lodge
-the promenade
-the retail land on BOTH sides of the promenade

Disney owns but does not control

-the Disneyland carpark
-the Disneyland bus loop

Disney doesn’t own but controls

-the road system south of the roundabout

Disney neither owns nor controls but has significant influence

-inspiration lake
-penny’s bay public services such as the fire department and electrical station
-the ferry terminal

Disney has no influence or control over

-the MTR station
-the second gate land
