Disney Could Make a HUGE Expansion Announcement This August
April has felt like it’s flown by, and ALSO like it’s taken 100 years at the exact same time.

With that, Disney has also made TONS of announcements this month about a variety of different things — Halloween events, Disney Stores coming back (in a way), and some big announcements about upcoming attractions. Believe it or not, though, we don’t feel any of those are the BIGGEST announcements from this month. In fact, the biggest one, in our eyes, has to do with an international Disney park, and a possible expansion it’s getting!
Earlier this month, something was released by Disney that we feel kinda got swept under the rug, but we don’t know how, because it’s MASSIVE news. It’s possible that Shanghai Disney Resort COULD be getting a second theme park, based on new concept art. A pair of images was leaked that allegedly showed concept art for a second park at the Shanghai Resort, and when you look closely, it looks a LOT like EPCOT.

Now here’s the thing: it’s unclear if this is legit. While Disney certainly hasn’t announced anything officially, it wouldn’t be the first time that information has been leaked ahead of a big announcement. It’s possible (but not at all confirmed) that this could be an announcement we hear about at D23 this year, if it is, in fact, true. There is historical precedent for Disney to design a potential second gate based on EPCOT, because years before Disney California Adventure in California, Disney planned to open the EPCOT-inspired WestCot as the Disneyland Resort’s second gate. So, all in all, this wouldn’t be the first time.

It’s also possible that this concept art COULD be legit, but Disney may change their minds and go back to the drawing board before it’s ever officially announced, leaving us in limbo forever. Shanghai Disney Resort only opened in 2016, so at ten years old now, it would make sense, in our eyes, to start thinking about a second gate. There are also rumors of a Spring 2026 announcement of a second gate to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the resort’s opening, but spring is soon coming to a close, so we’re still keeping our eyes peeled.
