Starting March 29, 2026, Walt Disney Studios Park will officially be rebranded as Disney Adventure World. Featuring Adventure Way, Adventure Bay, and the highly anticipated World of Frozen land, Disneyland Paris is unveiling a major expansion centered around a vast lake and new promenades. Although some areas remain under construction, we were given an exclusive preview.
Space to Breathe and Stroll
De vastes allées bordent le lac, avec de très nombreux kiosques food.
The first impression is one of scale: there is space—lots of it. Visitors will find plenty of room to wander, walk, and rest on numerous benches. However, for now, the area offers only two main attractions. Some construction fences remain visible, as guests will have to wait for the Up-inspired swings and, eventually, the future Lion King land.
World of Frozen and Adventure Way
At the heart of it all is a 3-hectare lake surrounded by banks and walkways, leading to World of Frozen, built at the foot of an imposing mountain.

Frozen Ever After serves as the flagship attraction of this new land. Inside, guests are immersed in a Nordic-inspired atmosphere centered around a fountain and a street leading to the ride. Note: the soundtrack is primarily in English, and the attraction’s location at the end of a dead-end path may present some crowd management challenges during peak hours. At the Fjord View Shop, the theme centers on the « Snowflower Festival, » with floral tributes to Anna and Elsa. Immersion is key here, and the 350 newly recruited « Cast Members » fully embrace their roles.
Sur Adventure Way, Raiponce Tangled Spin est une sympathique attraction familiale, sur le principe déjà éprouvé des tasses.
Adventure Way : the expansion features a wide promenade lined with gardens and kiosks, accompanied by an original score composed by Philippe Rombi. Raiponce Tangled Spin is a charming family attraction located on Adventure Way. Based on the classic spinning teacups mechanic, it is set in a decor inspired by the movie Tangled.
Entertainment and Dining
After watching the « Arendelle Celebration » show performed in a lower basin, visitors can head to the Nordic Crowns Tavern for a quick bite. On the other side of the lake, access to Toy Story Playland is marked by a small side path, while Adventure Way is lined with kiosks but lacks traditional shops. A parade featuring Minnie Mouse is expected to bring energy to this avenue.

For dining, the land features The Regal View, a large establishment divided into two sections: a table-service restaurant (expect to pay at least €100 for a three-course meal) where Disney Princesses will circulate, and a lounge (photo). Notably, this lounge includes the first-ever cocktail bar located inside one of the theme parks, offering a stunning view of the lake.
A Nighttime Finale: Disney Cascade of Lights

In the evening, guests can witness Disney Cascade of Lights. For this new nighttime spectacular, Disneyland Paris is utilizing a combination of water effects, aquatic screens, fireworks, and drones. Mobile barges have been installed on the lake to facilitate these effects.
The soundtrack, featuring the song « We Could Be Heroes, » is a highlight of the production. The show shines a spotlight on characters from The Avengers, Hercules, Moana, and Mulan. While the visual effects are undeniably beautiful, the performance feels like a compilation of various sequences rather than a single cohesive story.
