More changes could be coming to the lands within Disneyland and Disney California Adventure following the revamp of Bayou Country, formally known as Critter Country.
The “Happiest Place on Earth” is apparently considering ways to “amplify” areas such as Frontierland, Adventureland, and Star Wars: Galaxy Edge following the changes made at Bayou Country.
Along with the retheme of Splash Mountain, Disney also reimagined the former Hungry Bear Restaurant, now known as Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, and two retail stores when the land temporarily closed during the summer.
Similar changes have also been made at Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland and San Fransokyo Square at Disney California Adventure Park.
Disney content creator David Vaughn made a video discussing the potential changes, citing Disneyland President Ken Potrock. KTLA reached out to Disneyland Resort but didn’t receive a statement in time for publication.
The potential land revamps coincide with the plans Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and Bob Iger, Walt Disney Co. CEO, have teased for the parks’ future.

At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in August, D’Amaro announced that a new “Avatar” inspired land would be coming to DCA, in addition to the first-ever “Coco” attraction and an expansion of Avengers Campus.
Over at Disneyland, a Walt Disney audio-animatronic will be coming to the Main Street Opera House as part of the new Walt Disney: A Magical Life experience. Beginning in 2025, it will rotate with the existing Great Conversations with Mr. Lincoln.
A new ride experience is currently in development for Star Wars: Millennium Falcon – Smugglers Run, inspired by the upcoming film, “The Mandalorian and Grogu.”
The announcements came after the Anaheim City Council approved the resort’s $1.9 billion expansion proposal, known as Disneyland Forward proposal, in May.
The Disneyland Forward proposal is a 40-year agreement that would guide where and how future developments would occur. It would allow new attractions, shops, and restaurants to be built within areas of the resort that Disney already owns and operates.
Potrock referred to Disneyland Forward as the resort’s “legacy project” and reaffirmed that Disney is committed to spending at least $1.9 billion on the resort over the next decade,
A timeline of what lands could be “amplified” and when wasn’t released.
