Massive Disneyland expansion to add new rides, restaurants and hotels wins OK

The Anaheim City Council unanimously approved Disneyland’s multibillion-dollar expansion plan early Wednesday, allowing the theme park to build new attractions, shops and restaurants within its current properties while allocating millions for local projects.

The council voted 7-0 following presentations and public comments from more than 200 people, including residents, Disney employees, city officials, business associations and union groups that ran into the early hours Wednesday.

“Tonight is a decision that has weighed very heavily on [my] mind,” Mayor Ashleigh Aitken said during Tuesday night’s meeting. “As someone that has been quite the vocal critic in the past of some of these projects, I’ve been really surprised in doing my due diligence and reading thousands of pages of documents that this project will bring a benefit to our community, not just in the near future, but decades to come.

“I do believe the success of [Disneyland] provides a really important way for us to build affordable housing, for us to invest in making our parks in every single district better” she added. “It gives us those resources for police and fire and helps us improve infrastructure.”

The motion to approve the project was made by Councilmember Natalie Meeks and seconded by Aitken.

The agreement is a historic moment for the theme park, which has not made major changes since the 1990s, when it added a new park, a downtown shopping and dining district and parking lots.

The council’s vote provides initial approval of the expansion plan, with a second, procedural vote expected May 7. If approved then, the plan would require 30 days for changes to take effect.

Known as DisneylandForward, the plan will give Disney the flexibility to redesign the resort, including Disneyland, California Adventure Park and the Downtown Disney business district into what Disney Global Development Vice President Rachel Alde described as a more “immersive” experience.

The council’s action will lead to a series of amendments to zoning rules so the entertainment giant can add new attractions alongside hotels on the west side of Disneyland Drive and rides and new shopping, dining and entertainment to the southeast on what is currently Toy Story Parking Area at Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard. The park will not expand outside its current 100-acre footprint in Anaheim, according to the plan.
