Future Disneyland Attractions
Can someone let me know what Disneyland’s future attractions are within the next 5 years? As well as the dates they are expected to open? Thank you!

Thank you, Robert! If you were to guess, when do you think the rides at California Adventure will open?
This year, Disneyland and DCA will be debuting upgraded versions of Smugglers Run and Soarin', respectively, with the former opening this spring (alongside additional enhancements to Galaxy's Edge) and the latter opening on July 2nd.
All known future projects of note are taking place over at DCA. The first of these likely to open is the Avengers Campus expansion, which will feature a motion base dark ride similar to Tokyo DisneySea's recent Peter Pan attraction and a second small-scale thrill ride using robotic arm technology. Construction is underway, and while no timeline has been announced yet, most indicators point toward a 2027 target (potentially coordinated with the release of Secret Wars in December 2027). Second is a boat ride themed to Coco that will be added to Pixar Pier. Most indicators are that the attraction will be similar in scale to the Rapunzel boat ride added to DisneySea a couple years ago. It is due to begin construction at some point this year and will most likely debut before or alongside Coco 2, which does not yet have a release date but is expected in 2029. Lastly is Avatar Land, which will be taking over the bulk of Hollywood Land as well as the current transit drop-off area (which is moving across the street as part of the Eastern Gateway project). What's known about this one is that it will be based on environments from films 2 and 3 and will feature an E-ticket of some sort (strongly speculated to use the same technology as Battle for the Sunken Treasure). This one is still quite a bit out...most are speculating 2031, which would be both DCA's 30th anniversary and the year the Avatar franchise concludes.
There are rumors that Disneyland park itself will be getting something for the 75th anniversary in 2030 that has not yet been announced. However, there are two frontrunners for this project. The first is a Tomorrowland overhaul, which would see (theoretically) a new version of the PeopleMover installed, rethemes to Buzz Lightyear and/or Star Tours, an additional new attraction (not a clone of Tron), and a general redesign of the land to represent Sci-Fi as a genre rather than specifically the future. The other frontrunner (which is probably more likely at this point) is the addition of Frozen to Fantasyland, which would likely consist of replacing the Fantasyland Theater with a clone of Frozen Ever After. If either of these projects (or something else entirely) wind up coming to fruition, I would expect an announcement at this year's D23 event.
Thank you very much AJ for all that information!
Disneyland Forward. In addition to AJ's 'Avatar' west news there is talk about 'Frozen' and 'Coco' attractions.
'Coco' attractions - don't tease me..
This is one of me favorite Disney movies along with UP.



We have a list at https://www.themeparkinsider.com/construction/
There's nothing major under construction at Disneyland itself, though the OG Star Wars characters come to Galaxy's Edge on April 29. And Bluey takes over the Fantasyland Theater starting March 22.
At California Adventure, the Avengers Campus expansion is under construction, though Disneyland has not announced an opening date for that yet. The Coco and Avatar rides will begin construction this year - again, with no opening dates announced yet.
