DISNEYLAND PARK PROJECTS
“Walt Disney: A Magical Life” show | Main Street, U.S.A.
Project Status: In progress. Announced at D23 2024.
Expected Opening Date: July 17th, 2025.
Project Timeline: Officially announced at D23 2024. “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” has been closed since mid-April 2024 while work on the new show quietly got underway on the new Walt Disney show. The project was immediately met with controversy, even garnering criticism from Walt Disney’s own granddaughter, Joanne Miller. In a Facebook post, Miller said, “Do not let them turn Grampa into a ROBOT! My Mom tried to stop this years ago and they respected her wishes.”
Project Description: The all-new show will feature the first-ever Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics figure. Walt Disney will appear in his office and speak to the audience about his life, career, and his hopes for “a great, big beautiful tomorrow.” Disney Parks chairman Josh D’Amaro said the project has long been considered and Disney has been waiting for “innovation to catch up” to make the show finally happen. The show will debut as part of Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary celebration and will have an exclusive engagement at the Main Street Opera House. After that initial engagement, it and a version of “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” will operate on a rotational basis.
MiceChat’s Dusty Sage visited Imagineering to check on the progress of the new show and filed a full report:
Pirates of the Caribbean Queue Enhancements | New Orleans Square
Project Status: First Steps
Project Timeline: TBD
Project Description: Dusty Sage spoke with Imagineer Kim Irvine at a recent press event about the disruptive overflow line for Pirates, which frequently snakes through the middle of the land. He asked if Pirates of the Caribbean might get a queue redesign to redirect guests through the shops at the exit of the attraction, and was told, “That’s next.”
Port Royal Curios shop and Royal Street Veranda are likely to give way to a new moderately themed switchback queue for Pirates. Pieces of Eight is likely to remain.
Critter Country transformation into Bayou Country | Critter Country
Project Status: Partially complete.
Opening Date: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and two shops (Ray’s Berets and Louis’ Critter Club) are now complete. Everything you need to know about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure HERE
Project Description:

-
- Rumored — Replacement for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh & Pooh Corner Shop: While the Princess and the Frog themed areas of the new Bayou Country are complete, Winnie the Pooh is now strangely located in the middle of the new Bayou Country. A project to replace or re-theme Pooh has not been announced, but it’s clear that Imagineering is floating ideas to make the entire land fit the Bayou theme. With so much planned for California Adventure and Downtown Disney and little for Disneyland, this might soon be a new area of focus.

New Mission for Millennium Falcon attraction | Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Project Status: Announced at D23 2024.
Expected Opening Date: May 22, 2026.
Project Timeline: Announced at D23 2024. Expected to open with the new “Mandalorian and Grogu” film on May 22, 2026.
Project Description: At D23 2024, Josh D’Amaro announced the Millennium Falcon attraction in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge would be receiving a new mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu. This update to the attraction is expected to remove the coaxium smuggling storyline and replace it with familiar Star Wars locations like Coruscant, Bespin and Endor. The new version of the attraction will open alongside the “Mandalorian and Grogu” movie.
Fantasyland Attraction Enhancements | Fantasyland
Project Status: Rumored.
Expected Opening Date: Unknown.
Project Timeline: Fantasyland has been receiving major enhancements to its various attractions since Alice in Wonderland in 2014. Peter Pan, Snow White, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and Storybook Land have all received notable updates since then. Enhancements or replacements for remaining attractions are rumored to be in development.
Project Description: Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride and Pinocchio’s Daring Journey are the two remaining Fantasyland dark rides that have not received major enhancement packages. The two dark rides could receive enhancements or be removed and replaced entirely in coming years. Additional enhancements to Storybook Land Canal Boats are also possible, following the last major addition of Arendelle from “Frozen” in 2014.
New Tomorrowland | Tomorrowland
Project Status: Rumored.
Expected Opening Date: Unknown.
Project Timeline: A new Tomorrowland project has been long-rumored to be in active development at Walt Disney Imagineering. Rumors circulated heavily that Disney would announce plans at D23 Expo 2022 but announcements did not materialize. Rumors circulated again that at least partial plans for Tomorrowland could be announced at D23 2024 but those announcements did not materialize.
Project Description: A significant re-imagining of Tomorrowland with updated aesthetics, enhanced attractions, and returning classics. The visual theme of the upcoming Fantastic 4 film (to be released July 8th, 2025) has a mid-century style that would perfectly fit the classic style of Walt Disney’s early Tomorrowland. Let’s call it retro-modern. If the film is a big hit, we could see the new Tomorrowland greenlit shortly after.

- Reimagined gateway to Tomorrowland: Announced in 2019 — As part of the New Tomorrowland project, a re-imagined gateway to the land is expected. Plans for a new entry to the land were announced in 2019 and partially constructed but have since been stalled. Rumors suggest the previously-announced gateway may have been scrapped and a new, plussed entry to the land could be in the works as part of a larger New Tomorrowland project.
- Reimagined Space Mountain: Rumored — Space Mountain is expected to be getting major updates and upgrades as part of a larger New Tomorrowland project. Space Mountain last received a major overhaul in 2005, as part of Disneyland’s 50th Anniversary. The project included a complete rebuild of the track and brand new show and audio. It has since received temporary overlays including Rockin’ Space Mountain (2007), Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy (2009-2018), and Hyperspace Mountain (2015-2022).
- Return of the PeopleMover: Rumored — Unsubstantiated rumors have long hinted that a PeopleMover-type transportation system could be returning as part of a New Tomorrowland project. However, recent murmurings may suggest plans for a PeopleMover revival have once again been scrapped due to slashing of budgets.
- New E-Ticket Attraction to replace Carousel Theater: Rumored — The area occupied by the Carousel Theater (Innoventions, Star Wars Launch Bay) is rumored to be the planned future home of a major new E-Ticket attraction. This major new attraction could also take over the Alien Pizza Planet restaurant footprint.

DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PROJECTS
Avengers Campus expansion / Avengers Campus
Project Status: Announced at D23 Expo 2022. Plan was expanded at D23 2024. Groundbreaking has already begun back stage, with the Red Car Trolley barn demolished and ground clearing underway. The path between Avengers Campus and Cars Land will be closed for a portion of the construction timeline.
Expected Opening Date: Unknown.
Project Timeline: Disney announced the major E-Ticket attraction for Avengers Campus at the 2019 D23 Expo. In March 2022, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said the attraction was in a “holding pattern” due to “cash flow” issues related to the extended park closures. At D23 Expo 2022, Disney officially announced a new attraction for Avengers Campus, which would feature a new concept and ride system than the previously-announced attraction. At D23 2024, the Imagineering Behind the Dreams pavilion featured a display that included a rendering of King Thanos and a model of the attraction’s ride vehicle. It was revealed in D23 2024’s Disney Experiences Showcase that Avengers Campus would receive a fourth attraction alongside the major E-Ticket.
Project Description:

-
- Avengers: Infinity Defense: At D23 Expo 2022, Marvel Studio head Kevin Feige and Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro announced plans for a new E-Ticket attraction that will take riders into the Marvel multiverse. “Every character from every when” will be present, according to Feige. Riders will join up with a multiverse of heroes to defeat a new villain, King Thanos. At Destination D23 in Orlando, FL, in September 2023, Disney officially shared new concept art of the attraction’s ride vehicle. The ride vehicle was described as a “world-jumping vehicle” that features “features a design that combines elements of Tony Stark’s time-suits with Xandarian jump points and Wakandan technology.” In an Instagram post, Walt Disney Imagineering noted more information about the “physical worlds of this epic attraction” will be revealed later. The post said Imagineers are bringing the attraction to life with “a blend of large-scale built environments and immersive media.” At D23 2024, Disney announced the attraction’s official name will be “Avengers: Infinity Defense.” The attraction will take guests on a multiversal mission to defeat King Thanos and will be joined with familiar faces from the MCU. Riders will visit locations such as Wakanda, Asgard, and New York City while on the attraction.
- Stark Flight Lab: Announced at D23 2024, the new attraction will welcome guests into a Stark testing facility to try out new flight equipment. Guests will test out new Gyrokinetic P.O.D.s and encounter different MCU characters on every ride. Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Iron Man for both attractions coming to the land.
-
Avatar-themed expansion / Hollywood Land
Project Status: Announced. Avatar-themed experience is confirmed for a portion of Hollywood Land.
Expected Opening Date: Unknown.
Project Timeline: In development and approval limbo for over a decade, a major overhaul for the Hollywood Studios portion of Hollywood Land has long been expected but repeatedly stalled. On February 8, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced a new “AVATAR experience” would be coming to the Disneyland Resort soon. On March 7, D23 published an article with quotes from AVATAR: The Way of Water cast members reacting to the news of the expansion. The article noted the announcement was “a long time coming, since Walt Disney Imagineers have been working to imagine more ways to bring Avatar stories and characters to life since 2017.” In November 2023, during the “Imagineering Lunch & Learn” event at IAAPA, a Disney Imagineer said the AVATAR project was going into Disney California Adventure but Disney quickly walked back the statement, saying no official statement on the new AVATAR experience had been made. At a state of the resort meeting in Anaheim with new Disneyland President Thomas Mazlum, it was confirmed that that the Monster’s Inc. Mike & Sully to the Rescue ride in the Hollywood Backlot area of California Adventure would close in early 2026 yo make way for a new Avatar-themed land.
Project Description: The project would encompass the redevelopment of a large portion of Hollywood Land, if not the entire land. Various rumored proposals for the space have been made over the years, including a Monsters Inc.-themed Monstropolis area, an extension of the Marvel-themed Avengers Campus, and more. With Bob Iger’s 2023 announcement of AVATAR coming to the Disneyland Resort, rumors and official-then-not-official announcements have been made indicating the AVATAR experience will be added to Disney California Adventure, likely taking over what is currently Hollywood Land. A March 7, 2023 D23 article includes a quote from an Avatar movie cast member that describes the project as an “expansion,” which D23 did not correct or change. The concept art depicts at least one attraction, which appears to be a next-generation boat ride. Rumors and speculation suggest the attraction could utilize the ride system from Shanghai Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. At D23 2024, Disney revealed additional concept art for the new land and signature attraction. New concept art strongly suggested utilizing the Pirates ride system from Shanghai. An Imagineering desk featuring sculpted iterations of the rock work being designed for the new land was displayed in the Imagineering pavilion as well.

“Coco”-themed boat ride attraction
Project Status: Announced at D23 2024.
Expected Opening Date: Unknown.
Project Timeline: Disney announced the first-ever “Coco”-themed attraction would be coming to Disney California Adventure during the Disney Experiences Showcase at D23 2024. Construction will begin backstage on the far west side of Pixar Pier in late 2025.
Project Description: The all-new boat ride attraction will take guests on a journey through the Land of the Dead with Miguel. A location for the new attraction was not announced but our best guess is Pixar Pier. Concept art for the entry facade of the new attraction was released on the evening of June 5th, 2025th showing a location approximately where the parade gate is positioned. The nearby Paradise Gardens dining patio is transformed into the Plaza De La Familia every holiday season. A portion of that name also appears in the concept art below “Casa Museo De La Familia,” leading us to believe that Paradise Gardens will likely also receive a re-theme to match the new ride.
More details are expected soon.
DISNEYLAND RESORT HOTELS PROJECTS
Disneyland and Grand Californian hotels both have new Concierge Lounges under construction.
Additionally:
Disneyland Hotel – Rumors – There are rumblings that plans are in the works to finally bring a resturant back to the old Steakhouse 55 space now that the Broken Spell Lounge is so successful (located just outside the front door to the long defunct steakhouse).
Grand Californian Hotel – In Progress – Napa Rose resturant is in the middle of a major retheme. A reopening date has not been set.
DOWNTOWN DISNEY & BEYOND PROJECTS
Downtown Disney Re-Imagining and Expansion
Project Status: In progress.
Expected Opening Date: Various dates.
Project Timeline: Closures in Downtown Disney’s west side initially got underway in 2018 when Disney planned to build a major new luxury hotel on much of the space occupied by the west end of the shopping district. That hotel was eventually canceled following disputes between Disney and the City of Anaheim over tax breaks related to the hotel’s construction.
The shuttered venues, including AMC Theater, Rainforest Cafe, and ESPN Zone remained in limbo for some time. The closed Earl of Sandwich and Starbucks locations temporarily reopened after the hotel project was canceled. A portion of Rainforest Cafe reopened as the Star Wars Trading Post in February 2021 and currently remains open. ESPN Zone has been used for pop-up events, exhibits, merchandise events, and other various backstage uses.
Demolition of the AMC Theater got underway in February 2022, with a new outdoor stage and lawn opening on a portion of the former AMC Theater site on November 10, 2023. The stage features a “soaring sculptural tower” by contemporary artist Nikkolas Smith. An all-new guest entry and security checkpoint opened on the back portion of the former AMC Theater site on May 31, 2024. Additionally, an all-new Din Tai Fung restaurant was also built on a portion of the former AMC site. The Chinese dumpling restaurant soft opened in late June 2024 and officially opened July 1. Another major addition on the former AMC Theater site, the new Parkside Market food court, is still under active construction as of August 2024.
Elsewhere in Downtown Disney, the long-standing Tortilla Jo’s restaurant closed on March 31, 2024 to make way for two new dining concepts. In early May 2024, the new Paseo, Centrico, and Tiendita family of contemporary Mexican restaurants opened. These locations replaced the long-standing Catal and Uva Bar restaurants.
Downtown Disney will continue its evolution throughout 2024 and 2025 with the opening of new dining locations as well as the start of construction on new additions.
Project Description: Major changes continue to transform the entirety of the Downtown Disney District. These changes include shop expansions, relocations, new dining offerings, and a major expansion of the shopping district’s west side. The reimagined west end of Downtown Disney is designed in the Southern California mid-century modern style and features new shopping, dining, a lawn, and a new performance stage. Popular offerings including a return of Earl of Sandwich, the addition of Din Tai Fung, a quick service food court with a rooftop bar, and more will be part of the reimagined complex.

- All-New Earl of Sandwich and The Carnaby Tavern: Temporary location, New construction — Earl of Sandwich returned in February 2023 in the former La Brea Bakery location. A new sit-down “Earl of Sandwich Tavern” version of the restaurant also opened in the same location, with a new menu featuring salads, sandwiches, prime rib, and more at higher price points. On January 22, 2024 Disney confirmed an “all-new, two-story” location featuring “a quick-service Earl of Sandwich shop on the ground level and a table-service gastropub upstairs” was in the works for Downtown Disney. Disney did not specify a location. Earl of Sandwich opened a temporary pop-up location near the Star Wars Trading Post in early August 2024, after several months of delays. As of early August 2024, the temporary location in the former La Brea Bakery building remains open. On August 30, 2024, Disney announced the existing Earl of Sandwich location in the former La Brea Bakery would close in 2025 to make room for Porto’s (we have since learned the final day of operation will be July 25, 2025). The August announcement also included concept art for the new two-story Earl of Sandwich location, which will include a table-service pub upstairs called The Carnaby Tavern and be theme to the 1960s “British Invasion.”

-
New Earl of Sandwich now well under way on the west end of Downtown Disney in the former AMC Theater footprint - Parkside Market: COMPLETE — A new indoor food court featuring a “curated collection of diverse culinary concepts” by Levy has made its debut as part of the Downtown Disney expansion. The Parkside Market will feature four offerings at opening including: Seoul Sister (Korean menu inspirited by bibimbap), Sip & Sonder (signature lattes, fresh treats, and Caribbean-inspired bites), GG’s Chicken Shop (chicken sandwiches and salads by James Beard Award-Winning restaurateurs), and a new second-story Vista Lounge featuring craft cocktails, mocktails, and Downtown Disney views.
- Porto’s Bakery & Cafe: New construction — Porto’s is a Southern California chain of bakery-cafes serving Cuban-American pastries and cuisine. The existing La Brea Bakery building will be demolished starting in 2025 and an all-new facility for Porto’s will be constructed in the same location, near the esplanade. It appears that work is finally about to begin as Disney has filed demolition permits for the old La Brea Bakery building and Earl of Sandwich has notified most of its employees that they will be laid off.

As of August 2024, the Tortilla Jo’s building remains shuttered but a nearby fountain was removed to accommodate upcoming construction.

DisneylandForward & Third Theme Park
Project Status: In development.
Expected Opening Date: Various
Project Timeline: Disney announced DisneylandForward in March 2022. On May 7, 2024, the City of Anaheim unanimously approved Disney’s plans for a $1.9 billion, 10-year investment in the form of DisneylandForward.
Project Description: DisneylandForward is a large-scale proposal by Disney to re-imagine the Disneyland Resort’s property zoning for future theme park, hotel, dining, and shopping experiences as well as a major parking structure. As available expansion space has become increasingly limited, Disney had to work with the City of Anaheim to rewrite the way the Resort property is zoned. With city approval in May 2024, the DisneylandForward proposal allows the company to more freely utilize their property and maximize its potential. The project is expected to be realized in the following three phases:
-
-
-
- Resort East-Side Parking and Transportation: A new parking garage on the Pumbaa parking lot and several old office buildings and hotels East of the resort. A pedestrian bridge over Harbor Blvd., which was previously blocked by Anaheim but now back in the mix, will connect the new transportation hub to the existing Disneyland Resort theme parks, Downtown Disney, and hotels. This project will start in the fall of 2025 and needs to be completed before the Avatar project can be completed. The Toy Story bus load/unload area is directly behind Disney California Adventure’s Hollywood Land. The Avatar project will require all of that huge load/unload area… which means the new parking structure and bridge will need to be built first, freeing up the Toy Story lot for future development and making the buses unnecessary. (The removal of the buses will also help the Disneyland Resort meet its environmental targets, so there are multiple reasons why the parking structure and bridge need to be built soon.)
-
-
-
-
-
The new parking structure, bridge, and redesigned entry to the Esplanade are now approved and construction will soon begin - Toy Story Parking Lot redevelopment: A new multi-use shopping, dining, entertainment, and hotel complex targeted toward convention visitors would be built where the existing Toy Story parking lot is currently located. This project could start construction after the new east-side parking structure is complete.
-
-
-
-
-
This is what could happen to the old Toy Story lot - Third Theme Park: Although the initial description simply mentioned attraction expansions for the Disneyland Resort theme parks, Disney has told local residents it is working with local community groups, businesses, and the city on a framework for building a 3rd theme park on the land that runs on the far west end of the resort, surrounding the Disneyland Hotel and Paradise Pier Hotel. Unlike the previously canceled hotel and parking structure projects, Disney is spending a significant amount of time and money to build community support for this project.
-
-
Disney showcased projects such as Shanghai Disneyland’s upcoming Zootopia land and Tokyo DisneySea’s Fantasy Springs attractions as possibilities for expansion under the DisneylandForward project banner. These attractions as well as entirely new concepts could be built. DisneylandForward encompasses more than just expansion on the Resort’s west side, it spans the entire resort area as everything has now been rezoned to allow mixed-use development. Meaning, some of what Disneyland has proposed to residents, such as a new Frozen land, could be built almost anywhere in the resort. We won’t need to wait for a 3rd park to see the expansion benefits of DisneylandForward.
