Disneyland Paris to Unveil Disney Adventure World and World of Frozen in 2026

Disneyland Paris is poised for a significant transformation in 2026 with the debut of Disney Adventure World, a reimagined version of Walt Disney Studios Park and the highly anticipated opening of World of Frozen. The expansion promises a new era of immersive experiences centered around beloved Disney franchises.

Disney Adventure World: A New Park Emerges

On March 29, 2026, Walt Disney Studios Park will officially become Disney Adventure World, representing over 90% new offerings since 2002 [1]. This transformation will feature Worlds of Pixar, Marvel Avengers Campus, and World Premiere Plaza, alongside the new World of Frozen. Future plans include a Lion King-themed area with a water-based attraction incorporating next-generation Audio-Animatronics figures [2].

Stepping into the Kingdom of Arendelle: World of Frozen

World of Frozen, which originally debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland, will transport guests to the Kingdom of Arendelle, allowing them to participate in the Sunflower Festival and experience the story of Frozen firsthand [2]. The area will feature attractions, shops, and Nordic-inspired flavors [3] and [4].

Strategic Franchise Selection

According to Natacha Rafalski, Présidente of Disneyland Paris, the selection of Frozen, Marvel, and The Lion King was driven by their proven emotional resonance and ability to appeal to a broad audience across the EMEA region [1]. Frozen and Marvel were chosen for their cultural impact, particularly among European guests, while The Lion King holds a special place in the hearts of Europeans [1].

What to Expect in 2026

Beyond World of Frozen, Disney Adventure World will include an Olaf robotic character featured in the daily Celebration in Arendelle show, 14 new dining locations, and a breathtaking nighttime spectacular [1]. The park is also planning upgrades to existing attractions and new restaurants to enhance the overall guest experience [2].
