Tuesday, March 12, 2024 4:42PMDisney is one step closer to getting its expansion project approved. The company wants to buy city streets around the Anaheim parks.Walking through the frosty, snow-covered hamlet of Arendelle from "Frozen," or the bustling, critter-filled metropolis of "Zootopia" might be possible one day for visitors to Disney's Anaheim theme parks.With the proposed, the company wants to spend $1.9 billion to develop the property over the next 10 years.
Disney's goal is to create what it calls more immersive experiences for tourists, similar to the attraction Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which opened in California in 2019. The company said it doesn't yet know which stories would be central to the new developments, but the idea is to create areas like "Zootopia" in Shanghai Disneyland, where animal characters walk through a vibrant cityscape that resembles the setting of the film.
The project "will allow us to continue Walt's legacy of bringing Disney stories to life, right here in Anaheim," Ken Potrock, president of Disneyland Resort, told the planning commission on Monday. Disneyland was founded in 1955 by Walt Disney.
