New Possibilities: A Fifth Theme Park at Walt Disney World?
Discover how the CFTOD's 2045 Comprehensive Plan envisions the potential new theme park expansions at Disney World, sparking excitement and curiosity.

The buzz continues as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) unveils exciting potential futures for the Walt Disney World Resort. Their latest 2045 Comprehensive Plan reveals promising possibilities that have sparked conversations worldwide.
Envisioning Walt Disney World’s Expansion
A cornerstone of the newly approved plan involves the potential development of a fifth “major theme park” and two “minor theme parks”. Reserved for expansion across the next 20 years, these parks could transform Disney’s landscape. Although Disney has yet to officially confirm these developments, CFTOD’s strategic preparation signifies their eagerness to embrace the future.
The Scale of a Dream
The magnitude of the proposed “major theme park” reflects the scale of existing parks, ranging between 400-550 acres, while the smaller parks are projected at 147 acres each. Such meticulous planning ensures these possibilities are readily achievable, without necessitating amendments to existing plans.
A Nod to the Past and a Glimpse of the Future
Looking back, the 2020 Comprehensive Plan already accounted for up to five theme parks within Disney’s massive 17,300-acre expanse. Following a unanimous approval in June 2024, the plan now paves the way for a fifth theme park—a dream waiting for its spark.
Land of Opportunity
CFTOD’s plan highlights available land within Walt Disney World designated for “Entertainment”. This strategic allocation confirms that sufficient space exists for new themes and exciting experiences. With prior projects in consideration, there’s room for even grander adventures.
The Future Awaits
Though Disney has not announced concrete plans for this development, CFTOD’s efforts ensure the possibility is ready for fruition. Such foresight fosters anticipation among Disney enthusiasts and those eager to imagine what magic may come next.
As stated in WDW News Today, the groundwork is prepared. How this dream unfolds is yet to be seen but promises to captivate imaginations for years to come. Stay tuned to witness what might be Disney’s next bold chapter in innovative entertainment.
