Disneyland Paris has entered a new phase of growth with the opening of World of Frozen and the reimagining of its second park as Disney Adventure World, marking one of the most ambitious expansions in the destination’s history.
The transformation introduces a series of immersive environments inspired by stories from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, and Marvel, reinforcing the resort’s strategy to enhance guest experiences through storytelling-led attractions.
At the heart of this new experience lies Adventure Way, a vibrant promenade designed as a gateway to exploration, featuring landscaped gardens, entertainment and new dining experiences, as well as Raiponce Tangled Spin, a family attraction inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Tangled.
Adventure Way leads to Adventure Bay, a breathtaking central lake that anchors the park and hosts the all-new nighttime spectacular, Disney Cascade of Lights. Beyond it rises the expansion’s centerpiece, World of Frozen, a fully immersive land transporting guests into the Kingdom of Arendelle.
Opening day began with a heartfelt moment as children from Make-A-Wish and their families became the first guests to step into Adventure Way, reflecting Disneyland Paris’ long-standing commitment to creating joy for those who need it most.
This milestone follows a spectacular inauguration ceremony held the previous evening.
Natacha Rafalski, Présidente of Disneyland® Paris, said, “With Disney Adventure World, we’re not only unveiling a reimagined second gate at Disneyland Paris; we’re opening the door to a new era. An era where our guests walk straight into the heart of the stories they love.”
Thomas Mazloum, Chairman of Disney Experiences, said, “We continue to expand Disneyland Paris with ambition and purpose. The reimagining of our second gate reflects the very best of what Disney represents: boundless imagination that brings people together.”
Josh D’Amaro, Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company, said, “Few stories have resonated with fans around the world like Frozen. From the screen to our parks, cruises, and beyond, its impact continues to grow, and with World of Frozen and Disney Adventure World, we’re giving guests at Disneyland Paris the opportunity to experience that story in entirely new ways.”
The inauguration also attracted prominent personalities, including designer Christian Louboutin, actress Léa Seydoux, actor Lucas Bravo, Isabelle Huppert, and footballer Olivier Giroud.
With the launch of Disney Adventure World and World of Frozen, Disneyland Paris continues to strengthen its position as one of Europe’s leading tourism destinations, offering new immersive experiences aimed at both repeat and first-time visitors.
