Disneyland Abu Dhabi

Disney have said it’s still in the design phase that typically takes 2 years ish and 5 years for construction based on Shanghai. Will be 2032 at the earliest. Previous projects on Yas island have taken a good while from announcement to being built and opened. Harry Potter expansion to WB was announced way back in 2022 and construction is yet to start on that.

Seaworld was announced back in 2016 and opened in may 2023. Warner brothers announced 2007 and opened 2018- although the 2008 recession delayed that project.

2032 works fine with me. Will definitely get back over there again and most likely wait until there's some more new attractions and this Disney park to experience.

I'd imagine it's going to be rather spectacular knowing how much money these people have. Wouldn't surprise me if they come up with something that rivals Disney Sea in Tokyo.
 
The good thing that also often comes from these type of projects where budgets are not so much of an issue (ie Tokyo and likely this project) when another company is paying- is that it is not Disney paying for Imagineerings research and development costs, which we then usually see tech that’s been developed for resorts like Tokyo get used at the company’s own parks as the expensive r&d stage has already been done.
