Excitement is building in Anaheim as the D23 Expo returns this August, promising to unveil a slew of thrilling projects set to transform Disneyland. The $60 billion earmarked for theme park investment will finally be detailed, giving fans a glimpse into the future of the “Happiest Place on Earth.”
One of the most anticipated reveals is the potential addition of an Avatar-themed land. With Disney executives hinting at its inclusion contingent on the DisneylandForward expansion approval, this mesmerizing world might soon find a home in the Hollywood Land studio backlot at Disney California Adventure. The Lightstorm Pavilion at D23 will offer fans a taste of what’s to come, complete with an immersive experience inspired by Pandora’s captivating culture and bioluminescent wonders.
Frozen fans, rejoice! The success of Frozen-themed lands in Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea suggests that a similar icy kingdom might soon grace Anaheim’s landscape. The DisneylandForward Westside expansion area looks poised to host this enchanting realm, allowing guests to wander through Arendelle’s snowy streets.
But that’s not all. Speculation is rife about additional themed lands based on popular franchises like Zootopia, Tangled, and Black Panther. Meanwhile, the long-awaited Marvel E-Ticket attraction at Avengers Campus promises to take visitors on a world-jumping adventure across the Marvel multiverse.
Lastly, as Disneyland gears up for its 70th anniversary in 2025, this year’s D23 Expo might just unveil plans for an extravagant celebration. With new parades, fireworks, and special events on the horizon, the milestone year is set to be nothing short of magical.
