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.
Disneyland Paris keeps reinventing the guest experience by bringing refurbishment and landmark beautification projects to life, while leveraging new franchises, creating new entertainment experiences, and enhancing digital tools. 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 has been renamed Disney Adventure World since the opening of World of Frozen, a new immersive area dedicated to the world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen, heralding a vibrant new chapter for Disneyland Paris. 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!
In addition to the expansion of the second park, numerous projects are contributing to the transformation of the resort, including the creation of brand-new entertainment experiences like the awe-inspiring Disney Tales of Magic nighttime spectacular, the upcoming refurbishment of Disney Sequoia Lodge, the reimagining of Disney Village, and much more!
