This question comes from Micheal, who asks “We recently heard that Disney has been in talks with government all around Australia about pieces of land and I was wondering if there was anyway to find out what there up to.
Thanks
Michael: Thanks for reading Chip and Co and for sending in your question. Thank you as well for being patient about getting this answer.
Unfortunately I don’t have a definitive answer for you, despite the rather fun logo pictured above. There’s no doubt that Disney has looked into building in Australia. In fact, the rumors center around a specific parcel of land next to Sydney Harbor. This has been pretty widely reported, however when asked, Disney spokespeople have remained mom, merely acknowledging that the company is always looking for room to expand. This isn’t surprising given that Disney is generally pretty tight-lipped about these matters. I would guess that for the time being that Disney will concentrate on Disneyland Hong Kong, which hasn’t done as well as expected, and Disneyland Shanghai, which is being built right now. Keep in mind that the company also owns property in places like the suburban Washington, D.C., area, but have yet to announce any concrete plans for this as well. Final decisions on these matters can take years–or in the case of Disneyland Shanghai, decades–so don’t expect any solid evidence that they’re building in Australia any time soon.
We’re fascinated by the idea of a Disney park in Australia, so if you hear anything, please let us know.
