A historic day for Europe’s number one tourist destination, which, upon completion of its transformation, will have roughly doubled the size of its second park, offering experiences that push the boundaries of storytelling.
On March 29, 2026, Walt Disney Studios Park transforms into Disney Adventure World with the opening of Adventure Way — a majestic new main avenue featuring entertainment, a brand-new attraction inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Tangled, the debut of an immense lake called Adventure Bay, stage for a breathtaking nighttime spectacular and 15(1) new dinning locations. The highlight of this expansion, the impressive brand-new World of Frozen, fully immerses guests in the heart of the iconic films. The Kingdom of Arendelle, recreated on a life-size scale, features a new family-friendly attraction, a daytime show with a true-to-size Olaf made possible thanks to a next generation robotic character(2), a royal encounter with Queen Anna and Queen Elsa, interactions with beloved characters, a tavern, and shops.
While Disneyland Park® continues to evolve by bringing the magic of timeless stories and enchanted tales to life, the destination’s second park – now reimagined – transports guests into the worlds inspired by Disney Animation, Pixar Animation Studios, and Marvel Studios films they love where they can experience unforgettable adventures. Renamed Disney Adventure World, it welcomes guests into three spectacular immersive lands: the new World of Frozen, the colorful Worlds of Pixar, and the epic Marvel Avengers Campus, which will later be joined by a fourth world inspired by the classic Disney Animation film The Lion King.
The transformation of more than 90% of the second park’s offerings since 2002 illustrates the ongoing ambition of Disneyland® Paris to reinvent itself and enhance the guest experience. As Natacha Rafalski, Présidente of Disneyland® Paris, explains: “This opening marks a historic milestone for Disneyland® Paris with the transformation of our second park into Disney Adventure World, and the opening of its spectacular new expansion, featuring World of Frozen. With this step, we’re pursuing the most ambitious transformation in our resort’s history, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and inviting guests to live their own adventures in the extraordinary worlds of Disney Animation, Pixar, and Marvel. This marks a new era for Europe’s number one tourist destination, filled with deeper storytelling, stronger emotions, and unforgettable moments. Supported by our €2 billion investment plan, this expansion reflects a bold creative vision, made possible thanks to the talent of Walt Disney Imagineering and the passion of our Cast Members who bring our stories to life through their dedication and creativity. Together, we’re reinventing how our guests experience Disney Animation, Pixar, and Marvel worlds, bringing to life the emotions that only Disney can inspire.”
At Disney Adventure World, the greatest Disney Animation, Pixar and Marvel stories come to life. After experiencing the excitement of a Hollywood premiere in World Premiere – the new themed entrance unveiled last May – and celebrating these tales in the dazzling shows at World Premiere Plaza, guests can now dive into their favorite stories, becoming the heroes of their own adventures in the immersive lands of Disney Adventure World.



World of Frozen pushes the boundaries of storytelling. Every detail has been designed to recreate the iconic scenes and locations of the Frozen films, one of the most popular stories ever produced by the Walt Disney Animation Studios.
During their visit, guests can participate in a one-of-a-kind celebration: the Snowflower Festival, bringing the entire village of Arendelle to life, specially decorated for the occasion.
“World of Frozen is more than just inspired by the film; it truly brings the kingdom of Arendelle to life. Working together across disciplines, our Imagineers combined creativity and attention to detail to craft a world that captures the spirit of the story and feels real and immersive. We’re very proud to see the castle, the village, and the North Mountain become reality, and we are proud that our guests can step into this world and be part of the story,”
Michel den Dulk, Vice-President and Portfolio Executive Creative Director, Walt Disney Imagineering Paris
Architecturally, guests can discover the majestic 118-foot-tall (36 meters) North Mountain, crowned by Elsa’s Ice Palace. At its base lies the village of Arendelle, with its lively town square framed by colorful Nordic-inspired buildings and sparkling water spots.
Villagers, accompanied by a symphonic reinterpretation of the films’ iconic songs played throughout the village, guide guests to Arendelle Bay, the Fountain of Friendship, or Arendelle Castle decorated with its iced decorations, designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and brought to life by UK Loco, a British company specializing in immersive decor. Subtle floral motifs and rosemaling, a traditional Norwegian decorative art, adorn facades and moldings with refined craftsmanship. Inspired by Scandinavian landscapes, the design contributes to storytelling with conifers, birches, beeches, and crocuses, recreating the atmosphere of the animated films’ settings.
At the heart of the village, beneath the Clock Tower, Frozen Ever After attraction takes guests of all ages on a boat ride full of adventures alongside Anna, Elsa, and their friends.
This journey, punctuated by beloved songs such as “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “Let It Go” reunites visitors with some of the kingdom’s most beloved characters: Olaf, Sven, and Kristoff. The ride travels from the snowy forest to the Valley of the Trolls, through Elsa’s dazzling Ice Palace, before ending with a spectacular finale in Arendelle Bay lit by snowflake-shaped fireworks.
Frozen Ever After features cutting-edge technology, including state-of-the-art Audio-Animatronics figures delivering breathtakingly lifelike performances. Numerous lighting and sound effects, along with new immersive projection technologies provide a visually and emotionally stunning experience for all.
In World of Frozen, guests have the unique opportunity to meet Anna and Elsa during a
Royal Encounter* in Arendelle Castle. After passing through the famous Portrait Gallery, they can join the sisters for an exclusive moment, with personal interaction and photo opportunities to create memories that last a lifetime.
The festivities continue on Arendelle Bay with A Celebration in Arendelle, a 15-minute colorful show, presented several times a day for the Snowflower Festival. While Olaf, Kristoff and the villagers busily prepare for the Snowflower Festival, the lovable snowman, who has been put in charge of the decorations, encounters a few challenges. Thanks to the help of his friends and Queen Elsa’s magical powers, the celebration comes to life, lighting up Arendelle Bay. In this joyful atmosphere, filled with iconic songs from the saga such as “Let It Go” and “Into the Unknown” guests are invited to participate in this festive event(2). All the characters will appear aboard three majestic boats, developed with Couach Construction Navale, a renowned French shipbuilder from the Bordeaux region. Boat decoration has been entrusted to artisans who have long collaborated with Disneyland® Paris. Kristoff’s boat, for example, was painted by artisans from Prelud, a historic supplier based near Dijon.
Olaf, comes to life in this show thanks to a next-generation robotic character(3) created by Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development, in close collaboration with Disney Live Entertainment and Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Exclusively for World of Frozen at Disneyland® Paris, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the multi-award-winning songwriting duo, winners of the Oscar® for Best Original Song for “Let It Go”, have composed new music especially for the show presented on the Bay. They are also behind other iconic songs from the Frozen franchise, including “For the First Time in Forever” and
“Into the Unknown,” which have been streamed billions of times worldwide.
Throughout the village streets, guests may also encounter other beloved characters such as Oaken, the cheerful shopkeeper and sauna owner with his famous “Hoo-hoo!”, or Mossie, an adorable baby troll who is as curious as he is endearing.
The quick-service restaurant Nordic Crowns Tavern is the perfect spot to take a break and recharge after adventures throughout World of Frozen, while enjoying the warm and welcoming spirit of Arendelle. The decor traces the history of the kingdom and its royal family through galleries of paintings and many decorative objects.
Open for both lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers a dining experience inspired by Nordic cuisine, with a base consisting of mashed potatoes or quinoa; a protein like a salmon fillet or Nordic or vegan meatballs; an assortment of vegetables; and one of two sauces to top it all off, tangy cranberry or creamy dill. At Nordic Crowns Tavern guests also discover a wide range of frosty desserts, from a blue tutti frutti ice cream, a snowflake dessert and a blueberry muffin. Gluten-free options and vegan alternatives will also be available, reflecting the diverse culinary offering at Disneyland® Paris.
Arendelle Boutique, the village’s iconic toy shop offers, alongside must-have Frozen merchandise, an exclusive selection of creations inspired by Scandinavian craftsmanship. Guests can find wooden sculptures, clothing, and objects adorned with elegant rosemaling motifs. For those wishing to stroll through Arendelle in style, a collection reinterpreting Nordic dress codes is available, featuring embroidered garments and accessories with floral patterns. Before continuing their adventure, guests have the opportunity to share their experience by sending a postcard from the village mailbox located beside the shop.
Just steps from the boats moored in Arendelle Bay, the Fjord View Shop features a unique experience: meeting Rúna, an interactive baby troll toy. After a meeting ceremony, guests can acquire and head home with their new interactive companion. Equipped with the latest technology, Rúna reacts to touch, blink its eyes, move its ears, light up, and communicate with other trolls it encounters. Exclusively in World of Frozen, it also interacts with the iconic locations of Arendelle, the villagers, and Queens Anna and Elsa. In this new shop, a special area invites guests to get ready for the festival with themed make-up and hairstyles, the perfect way to wander the village in style and festive spirit.


At Disney Adventure World, immersive lands such as World of Frozen are set around Adventure Bay, the beating heart of the park’s expansion. This central lake offers breathtaking vistas, and its shores, extending from Adventure Way, come alive with unforgettable Disney character experiences during the day. As night descends, the lake comes alive with reflections of light and color, inviting visitors to linger along its tranquil shores before it transforms into a dazzling open-air stage for a new nighttime spectacular.
On the banks of Adventure Bay, the West Pavilion provides a relaxing space inspired by early 20th-century architecture, where guests can meet Mickey dressed in his brand-new Victorian outfits crafted by Cast Members at the Disneyland® Paris Costume Workshop.
Beginning this summer, guests will also be invited to share adventures with some Disney Princess characters during a Disney Princess® Cavalcade including 4 parade floats, celebrating the courage and determination of each Princess as she follows her dreams.
At nightfall*, as Adventure Bay falls into darkness, something extraordinary awakens. Barges, with a total weight of 168 tons, quietly gliding into position, set the stage for a brand new, never-before-seen nighttime spectacular: Disney Cascade of Lights. More than just a show, this spectacular is designed as a journey of discovery – an invitation for every guest to believe in their own inner strength, to embrace wonder, and to feel the power of storytelling in a way only Disney can deliver.
Designed as the grand finale to each day at Disney Adventure World, the show delivers an unforgettable experience for guests of all ages. Designed in a 360° configuration, with tiered viewing areas, it allows visitors to enjoy exceptional views from around the bay. Pushing the boundaries of innovation, the production features the world’s first integration of an aquatic drone system along with next-generation aerial drones, creating breathtaking choreographies that unfold simultaneously across the sky and the water.

This show combines immersive staging with cutting-edge effects to create an experience unique to Disneyland® Paris.
Never have guests been so close to magic, thanks to breathtaking staging on an unprecedented scale, where drones, flames, water screens, fountains and other pyrotechnic effects burst forth and intertwine in a completely immersive proximity.
At its centerpiece, a world-exclusive ballet of more than 350 drones, developed in collaboration with official technology provider Dronisos, illuminates the sky and water with intricate formations and dazzling choreography. New aquatic drone technology has been created exclusively for the new show, in keeping with the resort’s continued focus on innovation in entertainment.
The experience is brought to life with a powerful soundtrack, recorded by a 90-piece orchestra. Featuring new arrangements of beloved Disney music, the score includes an original adaptation of “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana as well as an entirely new anthem created for the show,
“We Can Be Heroes.” Together, these elements showcase an unprecedented blend of technology, artistry, and storytelling, establishing the production as a new milestone in Disney nighttime entertainment.

Every detail has been meticulously designed by Imagineers, such as the ornamental plates reflecting the world of each Disney Princess. These were hand-crafted by Royal Delft, the renowned Dutch porcelain manufacturer and official supplier to the Dutch royal family.

This new restaurant also offers some tables with ideal views of Adventure Bay.
