DisneylandForward Receives Final Approval, Setting Up Disneyland's Future

The DisneylandForward initiative received its final approval from the Anaheim City Council at the May 7, 2024, meeting (watch on YouTube).

Disneyland President Ken Potrock expressed his gratitude and excitement on the Disney Parks Blog:

We’ve worked closely with city staff, neighbors, and our local community over the past three years to make sure DisneylandForward is a win for everyone – I’m grateful the city council agrees and voted to work with us on this legacy project that will set up Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim for an incredibly bright future.

DisneylandForward updates the Anaheim city plan from the 1990s. The plan allows Disneyland to expand within its 500-acre footprint over the next four decades. The project was first publicly announced in March 2021, and since then, Disney has collaborated with the city to refine the plan further.

In early April 2024, Chairman of Disney Experiences Josh D’Amaro connected the proposed Avatar experience with DisneylandForward.
