A host of new projects at Disney Village in the coming months

While the transformation of Disney Village is in full swing, the coming months are set to be even more eventful. Following the opening of three new Disney shops last spring, the reopening of the LEGO® Store, and the debut of the seasonal terrace Petite Rosalie, the area is brimming with renewed energy and excitement. Take a look at current and future projects for Disneyland Paris’ shopping and dining centre, located at the heart of the destination.

Sports Bar & Lounge: reopening kicks off on 22 November

On 22 November, the Sports Bar & Lounge will reopen its doors after several months of refurbishment to offer a brand new experience. On the menu: an expanded dining area with additional seating, a redesigned, plant-filled terrace, a fresh contemporary interior, and a reimagined food and beverage offering. When it reopens, the venue will unveil a complete transformation, reimagined as a welcoming and vibrant sports lounge sponsored by Coca-Cola, a long-standing partner of Disneyland Paris.

Blending seamlessly with the new identity of Disney Village, the Sports Bar & Lounge will feature a contemporary yet welcoming design, where every colour, material, and shape offers a subtle nod to the world of sport. Inside, the walls will be decorated with artworks and sports memorabilia, and a number of screens will broadcast sporting events. Disney fans will love the gigantic fresco featuring Goofy inspired by the short film How to Play Football, or the one inspired by the animated series Big Hero 6: The Series on the restaurant’s façade.

The terrace, which will be bathed in light during the day thanks to an impressive glass roof and new light fittings, will combine brick, wood and metal to create an elegant plant-filled patio. The main counter has been repositioned to create a true outdoor extension of the lounge, where guests will be able to enjoy the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and watch major sports events that will be broadcast on the giant screen.

The Sports Bar & Lounge menu has also been completely revamped as part of this transformation. It now offers a more varied range of dishes for every moment of the day – from breakfast through to the evening, where guests can enjoy a tempting selection of gourmet snacks to share, delicious plated dishes, and XL-sized culinary creations – perfect for sharing! 

The food offering will be enhanced with cleverly themed dishes inspired by a variety of sports, ensuring that every bite contributes to a fully immersive experience. On the drinks menu, there will be a wide choice of craft beers and ciders on tap, exclusive alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, as well as a selection of drinks to share, ideal for taking full advantage of the venue’s atmosphere.

Opening soon: Pelé Soccer, a new shop dedicated to the world of football

Disney Village will soon welcome the Pelé Soccer boutique, located just behind the Sports Bar & Lounge. This new store is fully dedicated to the world of football and celebrates the legendary career of Brazilian football icon Pelé, a true symbol of sporting excellence recognised around the globe. This will be the brand’s very first shop in Europe, having already opened at Disney Springs (Walt Disney World Resort, Florida) and Downtown Disney (Disneyland Resort, California). Guests can look forward to a huge selection of exclusive football shirts, accessories, vintage-inspired products and other merchandise. Construction will begin soon.

A host of upcoming projects in collaboration with world-renowned partners

Disney Village’s transformation includes collaborations with several leading partners.

The largest McDonald’s in France will open in early 2026, catering to families and Disney Parks guests. Located right next to the current restaurant, which opened in 1999 and will close when the new establishment opens, it features unique and innovative architecture designed exclusively for Disneyland Paris. Fans will instantly spot the playful nods to Disneyland Paris and will be thrilled to explore the many surprises McDonald’s has in store for them! While the design highlights bright, plant-filled spaces, families will be able to enjoy their meals indoors or on one of the beautiful outdoor terraces, all within a welcoming and contemporary atmosphere. This new establishment, the brand’s flagship in France, will offer the best of McDonald’s and the most innovative services.

With the foundations now complete, construction is rising vertically on Casa Giulia, the upcoming restaurant for lovers of Italian cuisine. Operated by Bertrand Hospitality, it is set to welcome guests at the end of 2026. Guests can look forward to a family-friendly, two-story dining experience, where the beloved classics of Italian cuisine are served generously, with a menu and ingredients that change with the seasons. The restaurant will also feature Giulia Express, offering quick service and takeaway options. Guests can enjoy delicious pizzas by the slice, focaccias, and a selection of classic Italian pastries.

Disneyland Paris and the Pathé Group are officially renewing their partnership, extending their collaboration on the operation of the Cinema at Disney Village for the years to come.

Upcoming renovation of Annette’s Diner and transformation of the Disney Store into Disney Wonders

The end of the year offers the last chance for visitors to enjoy two Disney Village institutions before they temporarily close for renovation in January 2026.

From 5 January 2026, Annette’s Diner will close for a major refurbishment lasting several months. The renovation will focus on enlarging the kitchens and completely refurbishing the dining room, including floors and furniture, while preserving its charm and the retro atmosphere that has been so popular since 1992. When it reopens, Annette’s Diner will continue to celebrate the golden age of Rock’n’Roll and the 1950s, delighting guests.

The Disney Store will be undergoing a complete transformation! In 2026, Disney Wonders will unveil a bright, modern new space, designed to plunge guests into the heart of their favourite Disney stories through themed areas. The shopping experience will be reinvented to combine immersion, comfort and wonder, and with each new season, new delights will be added to this magical adventure.

In addition to these new developments, the transformation of Disney Village will continue with the renovation of the complex’s façades, floors, signage and landscaped areas. Recently, a brand-new reception and security booth was unveiled next to the Brasserie Rosalie for guests arriving from Disney Hotels, and by early 2026, another booth will open between Annette’s Diner and the TGV station esplanade.
