Anaheim is going to get their pound of flesh and jot of blood as well, Relations between Disney and Anaheim are 'not good' to 'bloody awful' at the moment so what is Anaheim getting. If Disney thinks 'nothing' well this project is dead in the water
Um...Anaheim will get money in the form of tax revenue so they can pay back the $200M loan they just took out.
Relations between Disney and Anaheim are currently good. Not sure what you are talking about.
CorrectIf I'm understanding this correctly..... none of these plans are concrete, right? This whole announcement is just Disney trying to pressure the City of Anaheim to change the zoning for these areas?

Oh yeah,I know these plans are only preliminary, but I don’t like this direction. I’d rather see them develop the area around the hotels with retail, dining, and entertainment and leave the strawberry field for a third park.
What I think Disneyland is gonna try to do is copy Santana Row which is a shopping district in San Jose CA and try to put more stores and restaurants as an addition to Downtown Disney and perhaps build a fourth hotel to go with it. I mean Universal Studios has the exact same thing with the Universal CityWalk and Disneyland got inspired by them to do it. I think the retailers that will possibly be featured will be Best Buy Kohl's a two floor Target Apple Store and many other stores and I can imagine how new restaurants will do in this shopping district expansion for Disneyland and most likely it will feature a supermarket such as Ralph's in it too. Because for some reason some shopping districts in cities like having supermarkets in them too. And as for entertainment I think Disneyland will put in a huge theater for concerts and have clubs geared for adults too. But however the plan goes for this expansion it will surely bring a lot of money to Disneyland and gain a new audience
No way will Disney do anything remotely like this. There are already numerous shopping centers a stone's throw from the parks that feature all these stores. Disney would have no reason to be a landlord for yet another Target or Best Buy. Anaheim is suburbia. It's not a major city.
The closest thing that they might try to emulate is something like a food hall or an open air marketplace style set up. In this kind of setting, they can have dedicated spaces for live music or other live entertainment (like a small fountain show or similar).
