Disneyland is getting a new Tinker Bell attraction according to resort president Ed Grier. Scheduled to open in October, the same month that a Tinker Bell DVD is set for release, Grier offered no details other than commenting "we know how special she is to all our guests."

The first attractions to open following the previously announced expansion of the California Adventure theme park will be "Toy Story Mania" and the "World of Color" watershow. Attractions based on "Car's" and "Little Mermaid" are in the works and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and letters spelling "California" are slated for removal. The Golden Dreams attraction is also going to be shuttered.

Disneyland's Grand Californian has begun construction of the 253 rooms and Disney Vacation Club units. Additionally, Disney may be managing two of the hotels being built at the nearby Garden Walk complex.

Grier also made reference to a third theme park some time down the road when stating "We do see a tremendous opportunity on our 88 acres of land."
