Anaheim releases a 17,000-page Environmental Impact Report for Disney’s expansion initiative known as DisneylandForward.
The biggest impacts of the project involved air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and noise — but not transportation or neighborhood aesthetics.
Compared to the 1990s, Disneyland has reduced the number of vehicle miles traveled through employee carpool programs, shuttle services, telecommuting and public transit. The Main Street Railroad Depot, Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and Hungry Bear restaurant are already listed on the California Register of Historic Places, according to the DisneylandForward EIR.
Ken Potrock, president of the Disneyland Resort, talks about Disney expansion plans during an OC Forum luncheon at the Grand California in Anaheim, CA, on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. Since DisneylandForward was announced in 2021, Disneyland has reached out to 100,000 Anaheim residents and neighbors atto answer questions about the project and provide information about the process, according to Disneyland officials.
