As you know, we keep a close eye on any news involving Disney theme parks. Recently, you may have heard about a new theme park in development for Frisco, Texas.

Which popular brand made the announcement? Let’s take a closer look!

Is Disney Coming to Texas?

To put it simply… nope.

There are no plans as of now (that we know of) for Disney to build a park in Texas.

Will Disney Ever Leave Florida?

But, what about the recent conflict between Disney and the State of Florida?

This unprecedented feud continues to escalate. So, there’s no doubt that some Disney World fans have recently asked themselves if Disney would consider leaving Florida.

Still, Disney World is a Florida icon that employs approximately 75,000 people in the Sunshine state. With 40+ square miles of infrastructure comprising four theme parks, an entertainment district (Disney Springs), water parks, and more, it would be no small feat for Disney to pack up and move.

Many experts (including theme park architects and engineering consulting firms) agree that leaving Florida is likely not feasible. The financial cost alone would be in the billions.

So, Where Does Disney Have Theme Parks?

There are twelve Disney parks in the world across six different resorts. Here’s a brief summary:

1. Magic Kingdom

This nostalgic park features real classics such as Carousel of Progress.

What Theme Park Is Coming to Texas?

Universal Parks & Resorts plans on expanding its lineup of theme parks by building a BRAND NEW experience in Frisco, Texas!

Utilizing 97 acres of land, Universal wants to build a theme park that is aimed at younger children. Since Universal Orlando Florida seems geared towards teens and adults, this park concept will be fun to explore.

What’s in the Works for Disney?

And while Disney hasn’t announced a new theme park (and they are no longer moving their headquarters to Florida), there are plenty of new projects in the works.

Housing Community

Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney community, will feature a lot of extra Disney details, unique amenities, and Disney touches in California’s Coachella Valley.

Park Projects

First up, we’re sharing ALL the closures and refurbishments that are happening in Disney World in 2023. And there are some big opening dates coming up, like the official opening of the Moana-themed Journey of Water and the completion of the EPCOT transformation.

And there are plans for an expansion at the Disneyland Resort. In short, DisneylandForward is a collaborative project between Disney and Anaheim to expand Disneyland Resort. Before heading to Disneyland in 2023, you’ll want to know about possible closures.

We’ve also seen concept art for some upcoming Tokyo Disneyland additions and the Zootopia-themed land planned for Shanghai Disneyland.
