As Disneyland Paris is in the midst of a major transformation, we continue to put creativity and innovation at the heart of everything we do to offer guests an ever-growing number of uniquely Disney experiences infused with the magic of storytelling.

Already visible across the resort, these changes contribute to immersing guests in their favorite stories, while reinforcing our position as a leader in Europe’s tourism industry.
When it opened in 2002, the original idea driving the creation of the second park was to give guests a behind- the-scenes look into the making of movies, animated feature films and television shows. The park concept has since evolved creatively to offer more immersive worlds. This exceptional transformation plan – which is coming to fruition thanks to a two-billion-euro investment announced in 2018 – involves the overhaul of more than 90% of Walt Disney Studios Park since its debut in 2002. At the end of its expansion journey, the park park will have roughly doubled its footprint!
As part of this signification transformation, Walt Disney Studios Park will be renamed Disney Adventure World, heralding a vibrant new chapter for Disneyland Paris. The new name will take effect in 2026, when World of Frozen, a new immersive area dedicated to the wintery world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen comes to life. This fresh creative vision will reach greater heights with the future construction of the world’s first themed area dedicated to The Lion King, fulfilling Disney Adventure World’s promise to deliver immersive experiences that take guests on breathtaking adventures inspired by their favorite movies!
