History

Mickey Mouse Club "Adventures of Spin & Marty" segments in the 1950s.[3] The company bought the 315-acre (127 ha) ranch in 1959 for $300,000 (~$2.32 million in 2023).[2][4] Subsequent purchases of adjacent land increased the area of the ranch to 890 acres (360 ha).[4]

A

business district set and residential street set were built on the ranch by 2012. The district set has 42 stores, while the residential set has 23 houses all with separate architectural style.[5]

In May 2013, Disney announced plans to redevelop 58 acres (23 ha) of the property into a new film and television production studio, consisting of six new

ABC Studios at The Ranch.[8]

The project was approved by Los Angeles County in August 2013.[3][9]

In October 2017, a second extension for the new studio's construction permit was granted, extending the permit to January 2019.[4]
