As of 2026, there are no official plans and no credible evidence to suggest that Disney is building a theme park in Colorado. Rumors about a "Disneyland Colorado" or a third U.S. Disney resort frequently go viral on social media, but they are consistently debunked as hoaxes or "April Fools" jokes. Disney’s current strategy, as outlined in their recent capital expenditure plans, focuses on expanding and "reimagining" its existing properties—specifically Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California—rather than building an entirely new domestic gate. Colorado's climate, characterized by harsh winters and heavy snowfall, would also make operating a year-round outdoor theme park financially and logistically difficult compared to the year-round sunshine of California and Florida. While Disney does occasionally invest in smaller regional entertainment or "Storyliving" residential communities (like Cotino in California), the "Disneyland" brand remains anchored to its two legendary coastal locations for the foreseeable future.
