Gorgeous. Love the tone of this reporting. Disneyland Resort owns plenty of land that is zoned for parking and hotels. They are very nicely communicating to the community their need to use that space for theme parks, and doing so respectfully of local residents and businesses. They aren't asking for taxpayer dollars or for anyone to make any sacrifices on their behalf. Great approach and I hope it works out.
Certainly hasn't been like that in the past. Plenty of contentious actions in the past. Look up the story about the new hotel they were planning on building in the Downtown Disney area.
If they want to remove parking to add more attractions, then they should advocate for good public transit around the city. There will be less parking for the guest and so they would have to park farther away from the park. And if you invest in public transit, it'll make it easier for guests to get to the park.
In addition a to a new parking garage that they already have land north of Gardenwalk, if the city would allow them, they could connect all three parks via an actual “Peoplemover.”
Maybe Country Bears and the Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh could for once co-exist----keep WtP at its current locale, replacing the Bears, who can in a new locale, or, more obvious, restore the Bears to their original locale, moving WtP to a new local. Oh, and also, Nightmare before Christmas could be, moved to this new area,too, so ,instead of re-skinning the original HM with Haunted Mansion Holiday, that could be changed to the new area planned, if and when it DOES open, as an all year round Jack Skellington allowing the OG HM to be the 1969 same, with the usual updates like modern day Hatbok Ghost,etc. Who knows? Maybe it'll be as big as Walt Disney World! 😎 Oh. and one final thing. I would love to see the replaced iconic structures (since early 2001) like the resturants and candy store that fell by the wayside when Downtown Disney and Cal.Adv.opened at that time.
A TERRIFIC idea!! Huge Simba, and Toy Story lots can be turned into new park / attraction areas. New MULTI-STORY parking can be built similar to Mickey and Friends lot.
Give it to them. If it is their land...just make the change to the zoning restriction. I mean, as a city. Anaheim will get more tax revenue from more more park attendance than it will from cars in a lot. It's really a no-brainer.
I really hope they allow Disney to continue growing and adding more parks... Disney is the only reason why Anaheim still isn't farm lands... oh and they employ over 29,000 people from Orange County
@@disneyguy3116 yes. Especially at the shoreline area. Hotel with a quiet romantic restaurant on the side. Near is a pier with amusement rides and partially underwater aquatics amusement. Can do so much with partially underwater stuff as long as there's no floating garbage. Unless u double dome it.
I'm interested and excited to see what's in the blue sky for imagineers! Yet the only part is, what about nearby small businesses and likely noise complaints? Granted also, it's a smart idea to use the parking spaces. Thing is, with how their crowds are already, how would that help with less parking? It's a bit up in the air for now but I'd love to see what they do. Edit: I think perhaps it could be dealt with by multi-story parking, but that might cause a bit of crowds for a few months.
Honestly was not expecting a comment section like this, over on Orlando’s side it’s all negativity but here there seems to be genuine support where it’s deserved of course, comments advocating for things like public transportation are cool to swe
The city of Anaheim may want to allow Disney to proceed with expanding. If not, Disney could get disenchanted with California and build a better park out of state.
@@kadinseimet8570 plus florida and southern california are always sunny and warm. That’s also why you don’t see disney parks in northern states like new york.
Yeah I agree with that. Those structures should have a higher rail or use a fence that alerts security right away. Even have security guards posted on each corner for shift purposes.
If Anaheim govt will let them expand. The land is already Disney's what's the sense in making them keep it as a parking lot. More taxes, more attractions, more guests, more capacity, more money flowing through the economy.
It still annoys me that there's a BIG NASTY FREEWAY right next to Disneyland Park. All that pollution and noise. I don't even think the state of California knew Disneyland was going to be what it became, in terms of tourism revenue for the entire state. Of course it also blocks the park from expanding.
I remember a few years back living in Anaheim they sent brochures to everyone in town to try and get us to approve of some expansion I think it was a proposal for a Zootopia land and a Frozen land.
@@MinerMends Well if anything Disney already has the land they'd just convert parking lots they own which are frankly ridiculously sized. And most likely use their remaining parking lots and put parking garages on them. There might be more traffic going into those garages and more foot traffic to be honest all the resort hotels are near disneyland and there aren't many homes in and around the Disneyland area in the resort district so it shouldn't be TOO bad but.. the traffic going to may be problematic.
If they open an additional land. That means more jobs for the residing residents. I’m for it. Especially if it is on thin property. I can understand the neighbors might not want it due to the noise but Disney does a great job about it. Maybe no fireworks or parades on that side to accommodate its neighbors? Shutting it down by 10pm?
This would be great for Anaheim and California. If this goes through, it means more jobs and more taxes paid to the city and state from Disney. Not to mention more tourist money for Disney and the local community.
This is why Reedy Creek was born in FL by Walt and Roy Disney. Zoning must go through Anaheim City and Anaheim communities to be voted upon. I can remember in the middle of the "Carousel of Progress" when I was little, the building would stop and the audience was ushered to the second floor where E.P.C.O.T was all mapped out per Walt Disney's ideas of the future in FL. Within parts of FL, there are remnants of EPCOT buildings that were started for the Prototype Community. There is still so much land that Disney still owns in Anaheim as well. Just now they have buildings on some of their land space and along with parking lots, etc. Need to get the Imagineering/Architecture hats on now.
They should building massive parking lot at toy story lot and expand on the Mickey and friend lot for a third park. Though getting visitors to and from parking could be a problem as they currently use a bus for Toy Story lot
Do what Universal Studios is doing in Orlando -- acquire land not far from the park. It won't be right next door, but it'll only be a short distance to another site.
There's two sections that they'd build. That shopping district across from the Anaheim convention center you're thinking about which is not connected to the parks. Then big expansions to the left of the parks behind the Disney hotels.
Walt Disney knew he didn't have enough land for the future in Anaheim (500 acres) which is why they bought 30,000 acres of undeveloped land in Orlando which became Disneyworld. The land owners around Disneyland aren't selling their land so they have no choice but to use parking lot space.
If it should bring about more jobs and more revenue for the city, it should be seen as a win-win. I know the area and many of the old buildings and restaurants along Katella have been torn down for the Convention Center; sad to see Tiffy's Family Restaurant is now gone too; that was my go-to breakfast place before going into Disneyland.
Expensive to go in!!!!!!!! You need to take out a loan to bring your family!!!! Too overrated and so are the people that go!! I prefer the way Disneyland used to be back in the 60’s and 70’s!
RIGHT! There’s no where ANYWHERE around Disneyland to expand! There’s neighborhoods on two sides, hotels and businesses on the other two sides. They would have to take out a few neighborhoods to expand-$800,000 houses! I use to live right there on Ball Road within walking distance. Disneyland has no where to go.
@@josecarranza7555 The Toy Story parking lot is ~300,000 m^2 of space that's flat parking right now. It's about the same size (if not larger) than the entirety of California Adventure. There's a link in the description of the video breaking down their proposed expansion plans (which take place entirely on property they already own).
In the Toy Story parking lot, kind of like when the removed parking lots and a monorail to build California Adventure. The space they want to build on was included in the video above.
Yes and no. Anaheim didn’t want to approve the expansion on DTD. Disney wanted a cut off their taxes for several years and Anaheim said no. So Disney haunted the plan but it seems that they came into an agreement because now they are remodeling DTD
The neighbors should not have squat to say they all chose to buy next to a major theme park and let’s face it they would not be successful if Disney was not there
Honestly the neighbors and crappy hotels and businesses, you should just leave. Let them pay you out and go. I know its rude but alot of the stuff around disneyland on harbor blvd is trash and we are all over seeing it. I would rather they expand and alot of habor blvd roads be closed and rerouted. We want a bigger park and less riff raff. We would prefer the park be expanded and the surrounding stuff take a hike. Its good for the state and the cities for tourism and jobs. Let them have it.
Honestly, replacing Simba and rest of the west side parking is just silly. Disney should just buy Gardenwalk and build a third gate in the current Toy Story parking area while constructing a new massive parking garage at Disney Way.
Lol, have you seen all the tech and entertainment companies fleeing the state of California…so much so, that the state is billions in the hope and will cut services. 😂

they should bring all the money making jobs and Disney businesses from Orlando and Bring it to Anaheim.
Anacrime, no good
Where could they possibly afford to live?
Anacrime
Walt Disney World is in trouble with Florida right now, they might leave Orlando and move to North Carolina.
I don't really understand how much more the Disneyland area can expand. There's also plenty of homes in the vicinity.
Bring old Tomorrowland back. It was so cool.
A new park would be awesome plus they should add transportation like another monorail or the sky liner from Disney World
BRING BACK SPLASH MOUNTAIN! 💦⛰🐰🦊🐻

Well they gave up a big piece of their property when they built California Adventure right next to it, which is about half the size of Disneyland.
Great idea😊
I hope Disneyland expansion becomes top priority for parks in light of what’s happening with Disneyworld in Florida.
