Disneyland Bought 25 Acres in Cypress, but the Space It Frees Isn’t Where You Think

Disney just bought a 25-acre campus seven miles from Disneyland, but the backstage space it frees up isn’t where most people expect. We walk the entire Disneyland Resort perimeter, zone by zone, and put every backstage area through four tests: DisneylandForward zoning, physical barriers, nearby planned expansion, and whether its operations can realistically move to Cypress. In this video: • What Disney actually bought: the former Yamaha Motor U.S. headquarters in Cypress, about 25 acres and 279,000 sq ft, for $115 million, to support back-of-house operations • Why Disneyland’s north backstage, from Team Disney Anaheim to the roundhouse and parade buildings, can’t simply be cleared for rides • The one Galaxy’s Edge corner that could change, and the Kalikori Club that never got built • Where the real expansion space comes from: the Toy Story lot and the West Side lots approved under DisneylandForward CHAPTERS 0:00 Disney’s $115M Cypress Purchase 1:16 What Disney Actually Bought 3:02 Disneyland’s North Backstage 6:09 The Southeast Corner 6:48 DCA’s Edges: Eastern Gateway, Avengers Campus & Coco 7:57 The West Side & Disneyland Drive Crossing 8:45 The Galaxy’s Edge Pocket 9:46 Where DisneylandForward Makes Room #Disneyland #DisneylandForward #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure RELATED VIDEOS A Third Gate at Disneyland?
