Though it was quietly announced over 3 years ago, Disney has finally begun sharing some details on what guests can expect at the upcoming Marvel Land, which will be coming to Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Paris sometime in the future!
Welcome to the Avengers Campus

Disney has announced that both the new lands at Disneyland Paris as well as Disney California Adventure will be called Avengers Campus and that guests who visit these campuses will become part of an interconnected, global story spanning from California to Paris to Hong Kong, as the Avengers recruit new extraordinary people to join them. An in-story experience that details why the Avengers are building these campuses is part of the “Imagining Tomorrow, Today” pavillion that is a part of the D23 Expo.
A new Spider-Man ride seems to be in the works for Disney California Adventure

Though unconfirmed, a map of all of the Avengers-themed attractions Disney has throughout the globe (including a Xandarian outpost in Florida, no doubt a reference to the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster) shows a W.E.B. Outpost at Disney California Adventure, seemingly confirming rumors that a Spider-Man attraction is coming to this new land. This is a bit of a strange choice as there is already a pretty well-known Spider-Man attraction, but it looks like Disney will be unveiling more about this upcoming attraction during the parks and resorts panel, which could be very interesting considering Disney’s current issues with Sony over the use of the Spider-Man character in MCU films.
Plenty of shopping, character experiences and more at the Avengers Campus

Of course, this is all in addition to prior reports from the Los Angeles Times that indicate this land will include a massive 2,071-square-foot merchandise outlet, with three attached canopies as well as new space for character meet and greets. However, one thing we did not expect to see in these permits was a new microbrewery, that is being built just for Marvel land! Though Disney California Adventure is no stranger to serving alcohol, this definitely seems like an interesting addition to the park, and it will be fun to see how Disney ties this new establishment into the larger Marvel theme.
Though Avengers Campus may be another radical departure from the “California” theme of Disney California Adventure, there’s no denying that this land will be a crowd pleaser, given how important the Marvel franchise is to pop culture right now. Though it has been more than 3 years since this new land was announced, we can’t wait to finally hear more about it later this weekend!
