Disneyland Files 9 Demolition Permits for Avatar Land at California Adventure

The filings move Hollywood Land’s overhaul into formal pre-construction under DisneylandForward.

Overview

  • Disney filed nine confidential demolition permits with Anaheim for Hollywood Land, covering the Monsters, Inc. show building and the nearby Hollywood Lounge.
  • Disneyland confirmed the area will be replaced by an Avatar-themed land inspired by The Way of Water that includes a boat ride.
  • Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! will stay open through 2027, and Disney says the extension will not change the project schedule.
  • The clustered permits point to utility relocation and other site prep for a large build, but the filings list no demolition start dates.
  • Outlets expect an opening around 2028 or 2029, though Disney has not announced a timeline and permit trackers describe the filings as early-stage.
