Disneyland's $1.9B Expansion Plan Clears Crucial Hurdle in Anaheim

Disneyland's $1.9 billion expansion plan, DisneyForward, has cleared a crucial hurdle after a contentious public meeting, with the Anaheim City Planning Commission voting 5-1 to send the plan to the full City Council for approval. The plan aims to transform the original theme park over the coming decades, adding mixed-use amenities and attractions. Disney hopes to have the project reviewed by the Anaheim City Council and receive approval before the end of 2024. The development agreement would last until 2064, and Disney would guarantee the city millions for affordable housing, parks, and road improvements in return for loosening zoning restrictions. The expansion would significantly impact air quality and noise but have minimal impact on transportation and neighborhood aesthetics, and Disney projects creating thousands of jobs during construction and operations.

Disney's Florida Campus and Hotel Shutting Down Amid DeSantis Feud.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says there's "zero" chance the state will back down in its year-long feud with Disney, even after the entertainment giant dropped a $1 billion plan to build a new campus that would have brought 2,000 jobs to the state. The dispute began after DeSantis pushed through the state's "Don't Say Gay" law, which bans teachers from talking about sexual orientation and gender for all public school students. Disney opposed the law, leading to lawsuits and countersuits. The moves by DeSantis against Disney have been criticized by other Republican presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump.
