Locations
Hong Kong Disneyland
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 includes a Frozen-themed land, a Marvel-themed land, a redesigned Sleeping Beauty Castle, multiple new attractions, and live entertainment.[5][6][7][8]
The land will be the fourth expansion that will open as part of the park's multi-year expansion from 2018 to 2023.[9] It is projected to open in December 2021 and will be located between It's a Small World (in Fantasyland) and Toy Story Land.
Tokyo DisneySea
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.[10] 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.[11]
On June 14, 2018, Tokyo Disney Resort announced an expansion called Fantasy Springs will open in Tokyo DisneySea in 2022.[12] Taking the place of the originally-announced Scandinavia port, Fantasy Springs immerses guests in the worlds of beloved Disney films, namely Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. A new luxury hotel will also be connected to this port.[13]
Walt Disney Studios Park
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 Arendelle: World of Frozen, the park is set to receive the Avengers Campus Paris and a Star Wars themed land, along with multiple new attractions and live entertainment experiences.[14]
