Introduction:

On October 17, 2007, the Disney
Company finally made it official
and announced a "significant
multi-year expansion plan" for the Disneyland Resort – most of
which looks to involve major changes to Disney's California Adventure.

Disney's
California Adventure
would not just get new attractions, but
a signature nighttime spectacular plus a whole new land – "Cars
Land"!

Here are the major items announced:

Cars Land – The expansion will culminate with an entirely new,
12-acre addition: Cars Land, immersing guests into a world inspired
by the hit Disney/Pixar movie, Cars, playing to America's love affair
with automobiles. The new land will include Radiator Springs Racers,
a major "E-ticket" attraction as well as two additional immersive
family rides, featuring Luigi and Mater.

Paradise Pier will host major new attractions beginning next
summer with the opening of Toy Story Mania, and a major ride
based on Disney's classic The Little Mermaid comes to the park's
Paradise Pier with leading-edge animation and special effects. The dramatic
and unique Disney's World of Color will bring new nighttime excitement
to Paradise Pier.

A new Entry Plaza and Gateway – A new visual icon in the tradition
of Los Angeles, California's great entertainment palaces will draw guests
into the heart of the attractions.Red Car trolleys reminiscent of the
old Pacific Electric Railway will travel up and down the main street.
New dining and shopping experiences and a slate of unique, live entertainment
will bring energy to the Walt Disney Plaza.

The "Golden State" area of the park will see the addition
of numerous new dining opportunities tied to the incredible bounty of
California's farmland and its rich ethnically diverse food heritage.

A Preview Center located on San Francisco Street in the Golden State
region of the park will feature models, Imagineering concepts – giving
park guests a sneak peek at the excitement that lies ahead. The Preview
Center is scheduled to open in late 2008.
