Disneyland has taken the initial steps to begin backstage preparations for the expansion of Avengers Campus that will add two new attractions and double the size of the Marvel themed land at Disney California Adventure.
Disneyland has submitted a plan to the city of Anaheim for Avengers Campus expansion prep work that is currently under review, according to city officials.

The plan submitted by Disneyland addresses utilities, temporary trailers and parking lots in the backstage area behind Avengers Campus that would be impacted by the expansion.
The prep work plan is a procedural step that takes place before the city grants a demolition permit and before Disneyland submits plans for the Avengers Campus expansion.
