Port Disney

Port Disney was a planned property of The Walt Disney Company that was to have been built on 443 acres surrounding Queensway Bay next to the Port of Long Beach in Long Beach, California, United States. The property was to have featured a marine-themed amusement park, a marina, a cruise ship port, a specialty retail and entertainment area, and hotel accommodations. It was to be built on land occupied by the RMS Queen Mary and Hughes H-4 Hercules aircraft , which Disney acquired as a result of acquiring the Wrather company in 1989.
Port Disney was announced in July 1990, first presented to city and port officials in closed meetings, then revealed in a public meeting on July 31, 1990. This was followed by the publication of The Port Disney News, which was mailed directly to homes in 1991 to drum up public support. The project was canceled in December 1991 in favor of the planned WestCOT theme park in Anaheim. Some elements of the theme park that was to have been built at Port Disney were later incorporated into Tokyo DisneySea, which opened in 2001. On March 6, 1992, Disney announced that it would end its lease on the Queen Mary, Spruce Goose, and surrounding property; and that it would relinquish development rights to all its Long Beach properties.
