Excitement Grows for Disneyland Paris’ World of Frozen and Disney Adventure World Opening in 2026

Disney fans around the globe are buzzing with excitement as Disneyland Paris prepares to unveil World of Frozen and Disney Adventure World on March 29, 2026. This expansion marks a significant transformation from the former Walt Disney Studios Park, adding new lands, attractions, and experiences tailored for all ages. Disney’s commitment to providing memorable adventures continues as they redefine this iconic European destination.

A Sneak Peek into the World of Frozen

At the far end of the park lies World of Frozen, which promises to transport guests into the enchanting realm of Arendelle. One of the main attractions will be the Frozen Ever After indoor boat ride, which debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland in 2023. Guests can expect a visually stunning journey through key scenes from the beloved film. Next to the ride will be Arendelle Castle, a highlight that guests can actually enter in Paris. This castle will serve as the venue for a reservation-based meet-and-greet with Queens Anna and Elsa. To book this enchanting experience, visitors should download the official Disneyland Paris app, where they can secure their timeslot in advance.

Celebration in Arendelle Show: A First for Paris

After entering the castle, guests can catch the exclusive Celebration in Arendelle show featuring a grand parade of characters celebrating "Snowflower Day," the moment Anna’s love thawed the kingdom. Notably, this 10 to 15-minute show will feature original music by the acclaimed duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Also joining the festivities will be Disney’s new interactive Olaf character, who will roam the land, delighting guests of all ages.

Dining and Merchandising in World of Frozen

For those feeling hungry, Nordic Crowns Tavern will serve as the primary dining location in World of Frozen. Unlike its counterpart in Hong Kong, this venue will offer a menu featuring customizable bowls with options for base, protein, and sauce, catering to a variety of tastes. Expect to see guests crafting their own meals with choices like meatballs, salmon, and vegetarian options. The tavern will also have a selection of Frozen-themed merchandise, including innovative products like Rúna, an interactive troll toy available at the Fjord View Shop. The design of World of Frozen intends to create a cozy atmosphere, with buildings made to appear handcrafted from natural materials, offering a unique experience compared to the larger Hong Kong installation.

Adventure Way and New Attractions

Guests can access World of Frozen via the new central pathway known as Adventure Way. This promenade features art nouveau-inspired fixtures combined with Mediterranean and Victorian elements, creating a distinct ambiance. Adventure Way leads to the park’s new lagoon, Adventure Bay, and includes entries to various themed lands, including a brand-new family spinner ride titled Raiponce Tangled Spin. This delightful attraction replaces traditional teacups with boats adorned with charming lanterns reminiscent of Disney’s Tangled, offering a unique experience under a beautifully painted canopy. An Up-themed waveswinger will also be installed nearby, though details about its name and opening date remain under wraps.

Dining and Nighttime Spectacular at Adventure Bay

Adventure Bay will also introduce guests to Regal View Restaurant and Lounge, a table-service dining experience that celebrates Disney princesses. Styled with design accents inspired by Disney artist Eyvind Earle, it offers not just delicious meals but also stunning views of the World of Frozen and Adventure Bay right outside. Guests can look forward to the park’s first nighttime spectacular, Disney Cascade of Light. This show will feature an impressive display of water screen projections, fountains, pyrotechnics, and custom-built show drones, captivating audiences with its stunning visuals.

Anticipating More Expansions

While guests eagerly await the opening of World of Frozen and Disney Adventure World, there is even more to look forward to in the coming years. Disney has plans to introduce a land themed around The Lion King, featuring a flume ride based on Pride Rock, although no opening date has been provided yet. Adventure Way will connect visitors to different themed areas, including the highly anticipated Avengers Campus and Toy Story Land. Speculations about future attractions are also bubbling, with rumors hinting at an Avatar-themed land, but no confirmations have been made yet.
