Disney Adventure World Opening Date: Everything Coming to Disneyland Paris's Reimagined Second Park

Disney Adventure World, the newly renamed second park at Disneyland Paris, opens March 29, 2026 anchored by World of Frozen and a sweeping transformation covering more than 90% of the park's offerings. Highlights include the Frozen Ever After boat ride, the Raiponce Tangled Spin attraction voiced by Mandy Moore, the world's first aquatic-aerial drone nighttime show, a next-generation robotic Olaf character, and 14 new dining locations along Adventure Bay.

Disney Adventure World — the newly renamed second park at Disneyland Paris — is set to open on March 29, 2026, anchored by the debut of World of Frozen, a fully immersive land bringing the kingdom of Arendelle to life. The transformation nearly doubles the size of the park and includes 15 new dining locations, a Tangled-inspired attraction, a groundbreaking nighttime drone spectacular, and a next-generation robotic Olaf character built by Walt Disney Imagineering.

What's Coming: A Complete Reimagining

The renaming of Walt Disney Studios Park to Disney Adventure World accompanies a comprehensive reimagining covering more than 90% of the park's offerings since 2002. In addition to the World of Frozen anchor land, the park now features Marvel Avengers Campus and Worlds of Pixar. Entry to the park begins through World Premiere, the new entrance unveiled in 2025 evoking the glamour of Hollywood, before visitors proceed to Adventure Way — the park's new sweeping promenade.

• World of Frozen: Family-friendly boat ride, lifelike Audio-Animatronic figures, and a royal encounter with Anna and Elsa
• The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge: Refined dining with handcrafted Royal Delft porcelain and the first-ever bar at Disneyland Paris
• Disney Cascade of Lights: A groundbreaking nighttime spectacular featuring the world's first aquatic drone system integrated with aerial drones
• Marvel Avengers Campus and Worlds of Pixar join World of Frozen to create a multi-franchise park experience

Adventure Way: Gardens, Entertainment, and 14 New Dining Locations

Adventure Way is the vibrant new promenade that connects the park's zones, featuring lush gardens inspired by beloved Disney and Pixar tales. The Tangled Garden evokes the romantic world of Rapunzel, while the Toy Story Garden places statues of Woody and Jessie among trees trimmed into toy shapes. The Gazebo Garden offers an English-style retreat with bronze statues from Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians.

Seasonal entertainment will animate the promenade year-round: Rapunzel and Flynn's Musical Encounter in spring, Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band in summer, and Miguel's Latin Festival in fall. The Disney Marching Band, led by Minnie Mouse and 12 musicians, will parade down Adventure Way with renditions of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel favorites. On the shores of Adventure Bay, the West Pavilion offers a Victorian-era retreat where Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse appear in new period costumes crafted by the Disneyland Paris Costume Workshop.

Raiponce Tangled Spin: A Lantern-Lit Family Ride

Raiponce Tangled Spin is the new family spinner along Adventure Way, placing riders in a gondola beneath a sky illuminated by floating lanterns set to the iconic song "I See the Light." Mandy Moore, the original voice of Rapunzel, recorded exclusive audio announcements for the attraction — an added layer of authenticity that only Disneyland Paris guests will experience.

The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge: Disney's First Park Bar in Paris

Just beyond Raiponce Tangled Spin sits The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, a table-service venue serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a refined setting decorated with embroidered drapes, floral tapestries, delicate wood moldings, and murals of Disney Princesses. Guests can also meet Belle, Merida, Jasmine, Aurora, Mulan, and Ariel on site.

Every detail of the venue reflects meticulous artistry: ornamental plates were handmade by Royal Delft, the renowned Dutch porcelain manufacturer and official supplier to the Dutch royal family. A magnificent entrance canopy was created by workshops in Alsace using ironwork expertise dating to the early 19th century. The adjacent lounge — the first bar at either Disneyland Paris park — features royal-blue hues, a striking wooden bar accented with gold, and artworks celebrating the animal companions of Disney Princesses: Heihei from Moana, Pascal from Tangled, and Mushu from Mulan.

More Flavors Along Adventure Way

Fourteen new food and beverage locations line Adventure Way. La Terrasse Panoramique serves bread bowls, New York rolls, and hot beverages. Café Luminosity offers an original hot dog in four signature recipes paired with cinnamon rolls. Chalets and mobile carts round out the offering with filled brioche rolls, stuffed potato waffles, and Disney Princess-inspired desserts.

Disney Cascade of Lights: A Groundbreaking Nighttime Show

Each evening, Adventure Bay transforms into the stage for "Disney Cascade of Lights," a 360-degree nighttime spectacular featuring hundreds of drones, choreographed fountains, water screens, and pyrotechnics set to a powerful orchestral score. The show incorporates stories from Mulan, Hercules, Moana, Zootopia, Pixar's Up, and the Marvel Universe, closing with an original anthem titled "We Can Be Heroes."

The production features the world's first integration of a revolutionary aquatic drone system alongside next-generation aerial drones, creating synchronized choreographies across both sky and water. A new 40-minute musical score, composed exclusively for Adventure Way and recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, accompanies guests throughout the promenade before the show begins.

World of Frozen: Inside Arendelle

World of Frozen is the centerpiece of the expansion, featuring a towering North Mountain crowned by Elsa's Ice Palace and a vibrant village square rooted in Nordic design. At its heart is Frozen Ever After, a family-friendly boat ride through iconic scenes from the films using lifelike Audio-Animatronic figures and cutting-edge projection technology. The land also offers a Royal Encounter with Anna and Elsa inside Arendelle Castle, "A Celebration in Arendelle" daytime show on Viking longships, quick-service dining at Nordic Crowns Tavern, exclusive merchandise at Arendelle Boutique, and the chance to meet Rúna, an interactive baby troll companion.

Every detail — from handcrafted décor to new music composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez — was designed to push the boundaries of storytelling in a theme park setting.

Robotic Olaf: A New Era of Disney Character Technology

At a November 24, 2025 press conference, Bruce Vaughn, President and Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Imagineering, and Natacha Rafalski, Présidente of Disneyland Paris, unveiled a next-generation robotic Olaf character created by Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development in collaboration with Disney Live Entertainment and Walt Disney Animation Studios. The robotic Olaf will appear in the Arendelle Bay show at Disney Adventure World and in special limited-time appearances at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. This technology enables Disney to bring iconic characters to life with an unmatched level of believability.

What Comes Next: The Lion King and More

Construction is already underway on the first themed area dedicated to Disney Animation's The Lion King, set on Adventure Bay. The land will feature a major water-based attraction incorporating next-generation Audio-Animatronic figures and songs from the 1994 film, plunging guests into the Pride Lands to follow Simba's story. A family-friendly Up-themed flying carousel attraction is also planned for Adventure Way.

What This Means for Guests Planning a Paris Visit

The opening of Disney Adventure World on March 29, 2026 transforms the Disneyland Paris resort into a two-park destination with significantly broader storytelling scope. With World of Frozen, Marvel Avengers Campus, Worlds of Pixar, and the Disney Cascade of Lights nighttime spectacular now anchoring the experience, and a Lion King land already under construction, the ambition of the expansion is clear.
