Additionally, during The Walt Disney Company’s first-quarter earnings call for fiscal 2021, Bob Chapek, Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company confirmed that Avengers Campus is still on track to open later this year.
“At Disneyland Resort, the exciting new Marvel-themed land Avengers Campus is currently scheduled to open later this year at Disney California Adventure.”
The highly anticipated Marvel-themed land, which is an addition to Disney California Adventure, was originally set to open over the summer of 2020, however, due to the continued worldwide pandemic and the current closure of both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, the opening date was pushed back. In December 2020, Disney did confirm Avengers Campus would open in 2021 so Chapek’s new statement is reiterating the company is still on track for a 2021 opening date.
At this time, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure remain closed, and we have no opening date in sight for the theme parks. In fact, during The Walt Disney Company’s Q1 earnings call, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Christine M. McCarthy said “Our current expectation is that Disneyland and Disneyland Paris will be closed for the entirety of the second quarter.”
Guests who choose to visit Disneyland Resort right now can, however, enjoy shopping and outdoor dining options at the Downtown Disney District and the partially reopened Buena Vista Street area at DCA.
Therefore, at this moment in time, we are still unsure of exactly when Avengers Campus will open, but Chapek did confirm it would be later this year! Inside the Magic will update you as we get information.
