Everyone Thinks Disney Is Building A Mall. They're Not!

Rumors are flying that the Toy Story Parking Lot is about to become another shopping center, but does that actually make sense when Downtown Disney is still struggling to define its own future? In today's Disneyland update, Hey Brickey explores what the slow evolution of Downtown Disney can teach us about Disney Expansion, Disneyland Forward, and the next chapter of the future of Disneyland. By looking at stalled projects, changing priorities, and Disney's recent development patterns, we ask the question that matters most: What will Disney build next? Will the Toy Story Parking Lot become another retail district, or is Disney quietly setting the stage for something much bigger? If Disneyland Forward truly represents Disney's final major move on the Anaheim chessboard, this may be our best clue yet at what comes next for the Disneyland Resort.
