DISNEY fans are thrilled to learn a brand new theme park could be set to hit the US.
It would mark the creation of the fifth attraction as part of the franchise.
Comprehensive Plan 2045, from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, understands plans are already in motion.
Documents revealed there’s a sprawling 400 to 500 acres ready for construction.
It is thought there will be two smaller attractions in the form of water parks, around 147 acres each.
Walt Disney World has not officially confirmed a fifth Florida theme park.
Despite this plans show the park requested permission to build underground networks.
These are usually used by staff and cast members to navigate around the site unseen.
The last new site to open was Animal Kingdom all the way back in 1998.
This news comes as Disney fans threatened to boycott the theme park.
Uproar was sparked after the company revealed plans for a Cars land that would replace Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland.
Fans can mark the last day of Tom Sawyer Island on July 6, 2025.
Outraged visitors expressed their frustrations on X, with one penning: “Canceling my trip in October and sadly, will never visit that park again.”
“This is an abomination and a real disservice to all those who booked summer trips hoping to enjoy all this one more time,” added another.
A third agreed: “Never going back, I have a lot of happy memories there, and I’ll keep them.”
“Huge mistake. Huge,” and “Largest downgrade”, echoed others.
This comes as Disney revealed plans to open a brand new theme park – in Abu Dhabi.
The huge new park will be in Yas Island, and a “groundbreaking resort destination” on the huge waterfront.
Little-else is known about the theme park including how many lands and what rides it will include.
However, it will have themed accommodation as well as dining and retail experiences, it has been confirmed.
It states it will combine Disney’s “iconic stories, characters and attractions” with Abu Dhabi‘s culture and architecture.
An opening date is yet to be confirmed.
Robert A. Iger, Chief Executive Officer at Walt Disney Company, said: “As our seventh theme park destination, it will rise from this land in spectacular fashion, blending contemporary architecture with cutting-edge technology to offer guests deeply immersive entertainment experiences in unique and modern ways.”
Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences, added: “The location of our park is incredibly unique – anchored by a beautiful waterfront – which will allow us to tell our stories in completely new ways.
“This project will reach guests in a whole new part of the world, welcoming more families to experience Disney than ever before.”
Yas Island is currently home to a number of other attractions including Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, once the largest indoor theme park.
Inside are six themed zones, with 29 rides and experiences.
Warner Bros Complex is the central land that celebrates the “Golden Age of Hollywood” with shops and restaurants.
