Goofy Plans Scaled Back

Disneyland has dramatically scaled back plans for a $2.75 billion expansion, deciding not to buy 20 acres of land it had deemed key to a resort project.

The expansion plans had called for a world’s-fair-type theme park with new hotels, a 5,000-seat amphitheater, a six-acre lagoon and a shopping, dining and entertainment complex.

The plans also called for two of the nation’s largest parking structures, with 12,000 spaces between them.

Disneyland still plans to build a new theme park on the 130 acres of its current parking lot, Pressler said. The exact nature of the attraction hasn’t been decided, he said.
