Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro Discuss Adding New Lands to the Disney Theme Parks
It was mentioned yesterday in Disney’s First Quarter Earnings call that Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro got together to discuss expansions at the Disney Theme Parks. Now that Tron Lightcycle Run is complete, Moana’s Journey of Water in EPCOT and Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland are about halfway done or more Disney is looking at the future for Disney World and Disneyland Parks.

One of the big items discuss was adding Avatar: The Way of Water to Disneyland. While no details were mentioned Bob did mention wanting to see growth at the Theme Parks and adding a big name like Pandora would accomplish that.

I am sure the LAND expansions discussed between Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro were the Blue Sky Concepts that were mentioned at the D23 Expo this past summer. At the expo, it was announced that Disney was looking to add Coco, Encanto, and Disney Villians to the Magic Kingdom.
Over in the Animal Kingdom, they shared details on adding Zootopia and Moana possible to replace the Dinoland USA area. Keep in mind Blue Sky Concepts are typically just ideas in their very early stages.
If Bob and Josh did get together to discuss adding more franchises to Disney World and Disneyland I would expect they would fall in line with what was mentioned at the D23 Expo.
I expect sometime this year Disney will have some big announcements on expansions at both Disney World and Disneyland. Till then stay tuned to Chip and Company for all the details.
