Disneyland® Paris is about to level-up its magic. On March 29, 2026, Walt Disney Studios Park officially becomes Disney Adventure World – a reimagined second park with an all-new World of Frozen, a majestic central lake with a nightly spectacular, a brand-new main avenue, fresh dining (including the resort’s first in-park bar), and more..
What’s new (and why you’ll care)
This is your chance to step into Arendelle at full scale: a life-size village beneath the 36-metre North Mountain and Elsa’s Ice Palace, a family boat ride (Frozen Ever After), a colourful daytime bay show, and a Royal Encounter with Anna & Elsa. You’ll also meet a next-gen, true-to-size Olaf—yes, a robotic character that moves and emotes with film-like believability.
Disney Adventure World (the park refresh)
Three immersive lands at launch—World of Frozen, Worlds of Pixar, and Marvel Avengers Campus—with a fourth world inspired by The Lion King planned next. The park centres on Adventure Bay, a 7.5-acre lake set to host a brand-new nighttime spectacular, Disney Cascade of Lights.
Adventure Way (the new main avenue)
A grand promenade linking it all together—complete with the “Raiponce Tangled Spin” attraction (spin beneath a sky of lanterns), 14 new dining locations, lush gardens, live music, and a refined table-service spot, The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge (meet Disney Princesses here). Bonus: the Lounge is also the first bar inside the parks at Disneyland Paris.
Nightly show: Disney Cascade of Lights
Designed 360° around the lake, the show blends water screens, fountains, large-scale projection, 379 drones (including a world-first aquatic drone system), pyrotechnics, and a new orchestral score—think goosebumps, then some.
World of Frozen: Highlights at a glance
- Frozen Ever After: A sing-along boat ride through the Ice Palace and Troll Valley to a snowflake-fireworks finale over Arendelle Bay.
