Disneyland Forward is a $1.9 billion expansion plan for Disney’s theme parks in Anaheim, California, KNBC reported. It will determine how the parks will be developed over the next 40 years.

“For nearly seven decades, Disneyland Resort has made a unique, irreplaceable impact on hundreds of millions of guests from around the world. How exciting to know our best days are still ahead – I can’t wait to show you what’s to come,” Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock said in a statement Tuesday night, according to CNN.

The Disneyland property consists of the original Disneyland park which opened in 1955, Disney’s California Adventure and the Downtown Disney shopping and entertainment district, both of which opened in 2001.

There are also three hotels owned by Disney: the Disneyland Hotel, the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and the newly-remodeled Pixar Place Hotel.
