Anaheim gave Disney the last approval needed for the entertainment giant to move forward with its expansion plan for its Disneyland park in California.

Disney received final approval on Tuesday to move forward with its nearly $2 billion expansion plan for its Disneyland theme park in California.

The Anaheim City Council said the company’s proposal – called "DisneylandForward" – received its second unanimous approval from all seven members.

The plan "shifts development amounts already approved by the city to other land Disney now operates on," the city council said.

The zoning changes Disney sought for the project "would allow for the building of additional theme park and other visitor attractions in Anaheim," according to the council.
