Ask kids about their happy place and the answer will be — Disneyland! A theme park by The Walt Disney Company, it has gained popularity over the years. Recently, there have been rumours that Australia may get its first Disneyland in Melbourne! Here’s everything you need to know about whether Australia will get a Disneyland.
Disneyland To Come To Melbourne?
While Disneyland has long been a fantasy vacation destination for everyone( adults included) everywhere. However, it has never been close to home for Australians. In reality, the most recent news of the Disney cruise line’s arrival in Australia is the closest thing that Aussies have experienced. However, rumours are already circulating that Mickey and Minnie may move to Melbourne!
Without a doubt, Melbourne folks would leap at the chance to ride Space Mountain, embrace our favourite characters, eat pretzels (that are the size of a human head), and take cute pictures in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle. And we can completely picture it happening! However, grab onto your Mickey ears since for the time being most of the talk seems to be speculation.

Lord Mayor Sally Capp asserted that they should have a Disney theme park in Melbourne as the city is Australia’s capital of fun. She further stated that she knew a Disney theme park in their town would be tremendously popular with locals, including herself, visitors, students, and traders. Melburnians adore a thrilling ride. Thrill roller-coasters might soar over the Yarra as part of a Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, or Animal Kingdom.
For a time, there have been murmurs that the famous theme park may finally open in Melbourne, and potential plans even included Disney executives travelling to Australia in 2005 to study potential sites. Sadly, nothing ever came to pass.
