Our Imagineers have dreamt up new experiences at Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, Shanghai Disney Resort and Hong Kong Disneyland — and we’re bringing you all the details.

Tokyo Disney Resort

New Nighttime Spectacular Coming to Tokyo Disneyland

If a magical end to a park day is just your vibe, you won’t want to miss the new nighttime spectacular coming to Tokyo Disneyland park. “Reach for the Stars” debuts on September 20 and features some of your favorite Super Heroes in the park for the first time!

Disneyland Paris

New Nighttime Spectacular Coming to Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris is also joining in on the fun with its own new nighttime spectacular, coming in January 2025. The show will feature Disney and Pixar songs, plus projections on Sleeping Beauty Castle and down Main Street. 

New “The Lion King” Area Revealed for Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris’ second park, which is being renamed Disney Adventure World, will feature a mighty king when its new attraction themed to Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Lion King” roars to life. Guests in the area will be able to shop, dine, and fully immerse themselves in this beloved story. 

More Updates at Disneyland Paris 

In case you missed it, World of Frozen opens in 2026 at Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris with can’t-miss experiences themed to the Disney Animation film “Frozen!” Plus, a new nighttime spectacular will debut that same year on the park’s new lake, Adventure Bay. 

Shanghai Disney Resort

New Spider-Man Attraction Swings into Shanghai Disneyland

Peter Parker has gotten himself into a bit of a tough situation, and we’re along for the adventure as we join him on a high-speed coaster ride to get out of trouble. 

Hong Kong Disneyland

Spider-Man and Tony Stark Attraction Announced

Hong Kong Disneyland will also debut a super new attraction featuring Tony Stark’s friend and new Stark Industries intern, Peter Parker. When one of Spider-Man’s most formidable foes spots the new Stark Industries technology, Spider-Man has to protect both us, and the tech, to save the day. The new attraction will be the third pavilion to open at Stark Expo in Tomorrowland.

Oh boy! We can hardly wait to reveal even more updates for these exciting new experiences on the Disney Parks Blog. In the meantime, check out all the announcements from the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase.
