Disneyland Paris is marking its 32nd anniversary with a major makeover of its second park, Walt Disney Studios Park.
Walt Disney Studios Park originally opened in 2002 with the aim of giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the magic of filmmaking. However, in recent years, Disney has turned to more immersive lands and experiences to immerse guests in their favorite Disney stories. The transformation of Walt Disney Studios Park will reflect that vision with a new name, new attractions, new shows and more.
Soon, Walt Disney Studios Park will become Disney Adventure World. The rebranded park will open alongside the newest land, World of Frozen. Like its counterpart at Hong Kong DisneylandWorld of Frozen will transport guests to the Kingdom of Arendelle.
World of Frozen will border the all-new Adventure Bay – a majestic body of water that will serve as a gateway to the park’s new themed lands that will surround it. Adventure Bay will also serve as an entertainment stage with 360-degree views, so everyone can have a front row seat to watch the new water shows with fountains, music, lights , special effects, etc
While Disney revealed World of Frozen will be one of the lands Adventure Bay leads to, the theme for the second immersive world has yet to be announced. Disney only shared that the concept and design of the land is currently being finalized. The two new lands will join Marvel Avengers Campus and Worlds of Pixar, nearly doubling the park’s size.
As part of the renovation, Disney Adventure World will also get a new entrance in spring 2025, bringing guests into an outdoor studio as soon as they enter the park. Dubbed World Premiere, the redesigned entrance will incorporate décor that pays homage to the Hollywoodhistorical cinema.
As visitors continue into the park, they will encounter World Premiere Plaza, with theaters showing Disney and animated movies Pixar stories. This area will lead to Adventure Way, a landscaped promenade leading to other lands of the park.
The area will also have a new attraction called Raiponce Tangled Spin. Based on the movie “Tangled,” this new classic carousel will take visitors through the film’s iconic floating lantern scene.
The new Regal View Restaurant and Lounge will also be located in this area with views of Adventure Bay. Guests can also meet their favorite Disney princesses at this table service restaurant.
