What will Disneyland build first in theme park expansion?
The Anaheim City Council gives final unanimous approval to the DisneylandForward proposal.
By BRADY MACDONALD
UPDATED: May 9, 2024
"The Anaheim City Council gave final unanimous approval to the DisneylandForward proposal on Tuesday, May 7. The newly approved plan goes into effect in early June."
...
"The DisneylandForward plan includes an already approved 17,000-space parking garage on an employee parking lot along Disney Way. The new Disneyland garage — which would be one of the largest in the world — would be connected to the parks via a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard.
"The DisneylandForward plan also calls for the eastside parking structure to have direct connections from the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway — a complex project that would require cooperation from Caltrans and other state officials.
"The parking garage, pedestrian bridge and freeway connection projects would likely need to begin before or in tandem with any World of Pandora."
