Disneyland Paris Unveils Brand-New Creative Vision for Second Park

Today, on April 12, Disneyland Paris lifted the curtain on an ambitious future. To celebrate this new chapter, Walt Disney Studios Park will be renamed Disney Adventure World in the future, as Disney Experiences continues to turbocharge growth around the world, unveiling a fresh creative vision and roughly doubling the park’s footprint where guests can immerse themselves in adventures inspired by beloved Disney stories. Some of the new highlights of this new vision include:

• As part of the unprecedented resort transformation, the second park currently known as Walt Disney Studios Park will be renamed Disney Adventure World when World of Frozen, a new immersive area dedicated to the wintery world of Frozen will come to life.
• The story of Walt Disney Studios Park is evolving from transporting guests into the magic of movie-making to offering guests adventures that come to life in immersive worlds.
• After recent opening of Worlds of Pixar and Marvel Avengers Campus, guests will be able to step into their favorite stories via a variety of upcoming experiences:
  • World of Frozen will bring guests on a journey to the kingdom of Arendelle with its colorful facades and remarkable North Mountain.
  • Adventure Bay, a majestic lake will serve as a unique entertainment stage.
  • Adventure Way, a beautiful promenade surrounded by lush landscapes, and themed gardens where guests will discover Raiponce Tangled Spin, an all-new family attraction offering a fun take on a classic ride, inspired by the beloved Disney Animation movie Tangled.
  • The second Park Entrance is also reimagined and will transport guests to a glamorous film premiere in the heart of Hollywood.
  • A brand-new immersive world, whose concept and design are currently being finalized by Imagineers, will further enhance the appeal of this reimagined park and offer even more magic and adventure to our guests. More details will be shared at a later date.
  • While the ongoing transformation of the park is sure to take the guest experience to a whole new level, the entire resort will continue to elevate its offerings in the coming years.

Beginning this month, the park’s transformation work will extend to the entrance area to immerse guests in the brand-new story as soon as they step into Disney Adventure World. After passing through the turnstiles, guests will be transported into a vibrant, contemporary open-air movie studio before becoming special guests of a glamorous film premiere in the heart of Hollywood on a starry night. To bring this all-new immersive experience to life, the interior décor of the “soundstage” – which currently depicts a filming scene on Hollywood Boulevard – will be replaced with crafted décor that pays homage to historic movie theaters in Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole. The new entrance building, renamed World Premiere, will reopen in Spring 2025.  

Once outside the building, guests will arrive in the heart of World Premiere Plaza, an area that brings together theaters, currently celebrating Disney Animation and Pixar stories, in a stylish Art Déco-inspired setting. The Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams are already at work to turn the park’s former central square into a dynamic and warm environment with décor inspired by the famous facades of Broadway and West End theaters. The atmosphere will be even more vibrant and magical at night, with bright lights illuminating the whole experience.

To gain access to the park’s immersive worlds, guests will be able to walk along Adventure Way, a beautiful promenade surrounded by lush landscapes and themed gardens – the perfect spot for magical daydreams. As guests wander through this enchanting area, they will discover Raiponce Tangled Spin, an all-new family attraction offering a fun take on a classic ride, inspired by the beloved Disney Animation movie Tangled. It will invite guests to “take a spin” through the iconic floating lanterns scene that has touched the hearts of viewers of all ages. 

World of Frozen is going to take guests on a journey to the kingdom of Arendelle with its colorful facades and remarkable North Mountain that are gradually coming into view. 

The land will be well located on the edge of Adventure Bay, a 70,000 cubic meter body of water surrounded by picturesque banks and a promenade at the heart of the park expansion, serving as a gateway to the new themed universes that will surround it. More than a scenic icon, Adventure Bay will serve as a unique entertainment stage with a 360-degree viewing area. It will be fitted with the latest technologies to provide exciting water-based entertainment, complete with fountains, music, lights, and special effects that are sure to delight guests.
