This innovative legacy project will set up Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim for an incredible future. The company seeks to build new entertainment experiences, create thousands of new jobs, and bring in new revenue streams.
DisneylandForward Kicks off the Next Era of Disneyland Resort
Last night, the Anaheim City Council officially approved DisneylandForward, and kicks off the next era of Disneyland Resort.
Walt Disney opened Disneyland almost 70 years and changed the face of theme parks and experiences everywhere.
The growth and expansion continues today with expansions in Disney California Adventure Park, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Downtown Disney, and more.
Now, it’s time for the next chapter and with the approval of DisneylandForward, the future is bright!
Investing in Anaheim
Disney will be investing $1.9 billion in the resort over the next 10 years. Cal State Fullerton’s economic impact study projects increased revenues of about $15 million for Anaheim from each $1 billion invested.
These funds will help in a variety of community services, including additional fire and police, parks, and libraries.
Disney is also providing a unique benefits package for Anaheim and its residents. $30 million is allotted for affordable housing, $8 million for parks, $85 million in traffic improvements and pedestrian safety, and continued investment in workforce development programs.
In addition, DisneylandForward will bring over 4,500 operational jobs to Disneyland Resort with nearly 9,000 construction jobs within the first 10 years.
Disney further commits to making a positive impact on their Cast Members with affordable healthcare and childcare, more mentorships and training, and assistance toward educational goals.
Disneyland Resort has always made unique and positive impacts on hundreds of millions of guests from around the world, and mow there is even more to come.
