Locations

Hong Kong Disneyland

[edit]

On November 22, 2016, the Walt Disney Company and the Hong Kong Government announced plans for a multi-year, HK$10.9 billion[4] expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland. The proposed expansion included World of Frozen, Stark Expo, Castle of Magical Dreams, multiple new attractions, and live entertainment.[5][6][7]

The land would be the fourth expansion that opened as part of the park's multi-year expansion from 2018 to 2023.[8] It opened on November 20, 2023[9][10] and is located between It's a Small World (in Fantasyland) and Toy Story Land, which is in honor of the film's 10th-anniversary celebration and part of the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration.[11] It officially opened to the public on the 20th of November 2023.[12]

Tokyo DisneySea

[edit]

On April 29, 2015, the Oriental Land Company revealed that the eighth port in development at Tokyo DisneySea would be called Scandinavia and was scheduled to open in 2020.[13] This area was to be located to the south of the Lost River Delta port and will be roughly the same size as the Arabian Coast port. It was also supposed to feature multiple new attractions, shops and restaurants. However, the Scandinavia port has been cancelled in favor of expanding the Mediterranean Harbor with Soaring: Fantastic Flight as well as New Fantasyland in Tokyo Disneyland.[14]

On June 14, 2018, Tokyo Disney Resort announced an expansion called Fantasy Springs would open in Tokyo DisneySea in 2023.[15] Taking the place of the originally-announced Scandinavia port, Fantasy Springs immerses guests in the worlds of beloved Disney films, namely Peter Pan, Frozen and Tangled. A new luxury hotel will also be connected to this port.[16]

In October 2022, it was announced that opening date would be delayed to Spring 2024,[17] later announced to be June 6, 2024.[18] It was also announced that the area would be called Frozen Kingdom.[17]

Walt Disney Studios Park

[edit]

On February 27, 2018, the chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company Bob Iger announced plans for a 2 billion euro and multi-year expansion for Disneyland Paris alongside French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palais de l'Elysée in Paris. The multi-year expansion will also include the transformation of the Walt Disney Studios Park. Aside from Kingdom of Arendelle, the park is set to receive the Avengers Campus, along with multiple new attractions and live entertainment experiences.[19] It is projected to open in 2026.[20]
