I attended a community outreach event in Anaheim on Saturday where I was able to learn a few things about the current status of Disneyland Forward and what the possible timelines might be for the near future. Issues with zoning and the city of Anaheim. What Disney can build and can’t build. How long will this take?

Disney is being smart by not annoucing plans to purchase GW yet. They also dont want to annouce anything else about that because once rumors start other parcels and prices will skyrocket too. Once they can get zoning figured out… I bet they will buy GW. I highly doubt the current owners are "happy" with GW performance. π
Would the add the monorail to transport people across the street? Or am I wrong about where this is.
Great info as always! Thanks Dave!
Hilarious that the owners of Gardenwalk are happy, cuz that βmallβ is trash, mist of the shops are empty, itβs got a ton of those cheap quarter rides, and the only reason to go there is House of Blues.
"Disney Forward"….but do it slowly…lol! As someone who has worked with city planning in Los Angeles, all of what you said makes absolute sense. It's not delays – it's normal. Thanks Dave! I appreciate this update!
Love the restaurants at the Garden Walk.. Always our Valentine's go to β€
Thank you as always, David
Do the other businesses on Harbor really get that much business from Disney guests? As a tourist, I never patronize any of the other businesses on Harbor besides our hotel. I would LOVE to skip Harbor altogether.
You saved our vacation plans with your news updates! We booked our trip with Get Away Today for the week of the 13th and two of the nights we would have had to leave early for the After Dark event. Get Away Today helped us get our reservations moved for the hotel and all is good! Thanks David! Freshbaked. β€
Do you remember? We were asked by Disneylandforward to give feedback. What do we want to see at Disneyland forward? I did share my suggestions with Disneylandforward. I suggested a Yosemite Valley theme for the expansion for California Adventure. With the Merced River running down the middle. With River raft rides going down the middle with peaceful waterfalls and cliffs surrounding Disney fans. I also suggested an indoor βLove Bugβ ride at the California Adventure Expansion. The original βLove Bugβ movie was filmed in San Francisco. Here is a great example of the Merced River in between Yosemite Valley. https://youtu.be/DIjD9A5MLq8
It makes a lot of sense to build indoor show buildings against the backside of the Disneyland Forward areas, not just in order to reduce noise in residential areas, but also because Disney usually mounts forced-perspective scenery on top of show buildings at the back of lands.
Where is everyone going to park?!?
Hi how are you doing
Disneyland Forward will never happen. You can't just keep expecting the park to always expand either. At some point Disney will start going backwards and shrinking. Nothing wrong with going backwards.
I don't for a second believe that they haven't spent anytime imagineering what the expansions will looks like/consist of and probably have started plans.
I really wish Disney would stick to making magical places and experiences…
You see where the Orange Band is connecting to the expansion on Disneyland Forward? Is it me, or is that basically saying they are going to use the gap between Pirates and Mansion to connect them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the New Orleans Square train station? Wonder if that's maybe a consideration on whey they are taking their time on rebuilding? Probably way off base here.
Thanks for checking that out for us, Daveβ¦β¦.and, as usual, only time will tell.
Pay people off and be done with it
Eastern gateway could have worked if they dug a tunnel under Harbor and directed resort foot traffic under the street and businesses on harbor would still get foot traffic
I was considering getting annual passes for my family of five, BUT NOW IβM SERIOUS CONSIDERING BOYCOTTING DISNEYLAND!!! I canceled my Disney Plus subscription, but was okay with the park because it wasnβt super woke. I think Iβm done with Disney. I prefer my escapism to as untouched by modern mass psychosis as possible!
I wonder where we are gonna park for downtown Disney after they close the simba parking lot.
Me wondering if I am going to be alive in 30 years π’ to see it
That garage on harbor was a horrid idea. It alienated all of the hotels and many people canβt afford disneys hotels, nor can Disney handle all the guests. And that hotel in downtown Disney was super special. Closed so many buildings for nothing
6:32 why not a new version of a people mover around the area that would be great π
