Disney is seeking approval from local officials to expand its California theme park offerings over the next four decades
Walking through the frosty, snow-covered hamlet of Arendelle from “Frozen,” or the bustling, critter-filled metropolis of “Zootopia” might be possible one day for visitors to Disney's California theme parks. That's only if Disney wins approval from local officials to expand its Anaheim resort over the next four decades. The proposed expansion wouldn't increase Disney's 490-acre footprint in Southern California or change what the company already has permission to build.
The company said it doesn’t yet know which stories would be central to the new developments, but the idea is to create areas like “Zootopia” in Shanghai Disneyland, where animal characters walk through a vibrant cityscape that resembles the setting of the film.
