Disneyland Paris unveils major expansions

16 Apr 2025
Comments | 0

Disneyland Paris has announced plans for new themed lands and attractions, as well as hotel makeovers and retail revamps.

By the end of the transformation, 90% of the park’s offerings will have been refreshed, nearly doubling its footprint.

Walt Disney Studios to become Disney Adventure World

The second park at Disneyland Paris is getting a new name – Disney Adventure World.

‘World Premiere’ replaces Studio 1

The long-standing Studio 1 will reopen as ‘World Premiere’ on May 15.

This reimagined entry point will immerse guests in the glamour of a Hollywood red carpet, complete with palm-lined boulevards, themed restaurants like Hollywood Gardens, and the vintage-style Mickey’s of Hollywood boutique.

Outside, World Premiere Plaza will be a vibrant hub for Disney and Pixar stage shows.

‘World of Frozen’ and new nighttime show

Slated for a 2026 debut, ‘World of Frozen’ will bring the Kingdom of Arendelle to life, complete with a new attraction, meet-and-greets with Anna and Elsa, and themed shops and eateries.

A new nighttime show featuring water effects, fountains, drones, and projections will also light up Adventure Bay's new central lake.

Up-themed ride coming to Adventure Way

Adventure Way – the promenade linking various immersive lands – will welcome a flying carousel inspired by Disney-Pixar’s Up in 2026. The flying carousel will spin in the air, offering a bird’s-eye view of the park’s scenery.

It will join the Raiponce Tangled Spin and themed gardens showcasing stories like Tangled and Toy Story. The new Regal View Restaurant & Lounge will offer character dining with Disney Princesses and views of the lake show.

Immersive Lion King attraction

After ‘World of Frozen’ opens, work will begin on an all-new Lion King-themed area. It will be anchored by a major water-based attraction with cutting-edge audio-animatronics and immersive environments, and guests will journey through iconic scenes from the 1994 film – including a 16-metre descent.

Construction will begin in this year’s European autumn.

Hotel upgrades

Starting in 2026, Disney Sequoia Lodge (1 010 rooms) will undergo a full refurbishment, with brighter interiors and nature-inspired theming featuring forest-dwelling Disney characters.

Davy Crockett Ranch is also getting a makeover, with 584 bungalows being redesigned with nods to Donald Duck, Daisy and the Junior Woodchucks.

The first new bungalows will be bookable from June 12 for post-European summer 2025 stays.

Disney Village revamp

The transformation of Disney Village continues, with new shops like Disney Glamour, Disney Style and the revamped LEGO Store opening this month.

A home décor store, Deco by Disney, will offer exclusive items. Brasserie Rosalie will soon open a sunny terrace called Petite Rosalie, while Sports Bar & Lounge will relaunch with more seating and a new menu.

A new McDonald's and a three-storey Italian restaurant, Casa Giulia, are also planned for 2026.
