Im calling it now. Not certain on location but is there space to the right of New port Bay? They'll stick a tower there that looks over the 2 parks for the fireworks
This is Paris not Orlando 😁

Theres a plot for the fourth hotel reserved since 1992. It’s quite telling - the promenade wall has a sticky out bit like Sequoia that’s opposite where the entrance should have been.

Looked absolutely stunning. We had a trip booked specifically for this and unfortunately had to cancel earlier this week.
Well done to the entertainment teams, they're making us dream brighter for sure

This is one resort where another park in the near to medium term seems like a mistake. They're still digging themselves out of the hole opening an under-cooked second park got them into and the two existing parks both have plenty of room for expansion and aren't really bursting at the seams yet.

Seems more like something that would be considered way down the path after they added the second new land to WDS, some new capacity to Parc Disneyland, fixed Disney Village, added a new hotel, and had some time to evaluate the impact of all those additions.

Lion King land will be built.
However, about the 15 Billion 😂 Let's just say: keep your expectations low, very low.

Why? Just look at the mainstream news about Disney of the past 18 months. Massive failures at the box office, Disney+ losing Billions of dollars, stockprice crashing and burning ... And no sign on the horizon on how Disney is gonna turn all of this around.

I agree. A 3rd park really isn’t necessary.

Surely Lion King would be better off going at the back of Disneyland park near the pride land show? A dark ride or 2 in that park too.

Then Flesh out Avengers Campus more and go back to a Star Wars land and Pandora for the WDS expansion.

A lot cheaper than €15 billion and would probably satisfy most

Don't worry.
The deal between DLP and the French government states that they'll only build a third park if a certain amount of visitors has been reached.
DLP's strategy today = rising prices to attract less visitors who spent a lot more money. So will they ever reach the necessary number of visitors? Probably not.

That site was originally going to be a Las Vegas themed hotel designed by Robert Venturi.
I remember from an old podcast that Tony Baxter was in part responsible for it being cancelled when imagineers came up with the idea of building Disneyland Hotel at the entrance. This blog has some good images


I can’t see this being built now so it would be interesting to see what we would get if the site does get built on

Wow...thank god it was canceled 😂 but interesting piece of history nonetheless.
What's really interesting though is the hotel OPPOSITE of it?! That structure where Sequoia currently is.
Looks very modernist.

The Vegas hotel was one of a number being banded about in the mid to late 80s. When the DL became a real hotel IIRC the 4th plot resort was proposed to be New Orleans themed.
