Disney's ambitious plan to expand its Southern California theme parks has been approved by the Anaheim City Council. The expansion, estimated to cost $1.9 billion, will introduce new rides, restaurants, and hotels, significantly transforming Disneyland and its surroundings over the next decade. This project, known as DisneylandForward, aims to create immersive lands themed around popular franchises such as 'Frozen' and 'Zootopia.' The expansion is expected to bolster the local economy by creating more good-paying jobs and attracting more visitors. Disneyland is recognized as the economic locomotive of Orange County.
