Step into Disney Adventure World on March 29

A historic transformation is set to unfold at Disneyland Paris when World of Frozen opens on March 29, 2026, at Disney Adventure World. This milestone marks the beginning of a bold new era, nearly doubling the size of the second park upon the completion of its transformation, including a brand-new attraction inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Tangled, 15 new dining locations, and an immense lake with a new nighttime spectacular.

The highlight of this expansion, World of Frozen, will feature a new family attraction, daytime show, royal encounter with queens Anna and Elsa, interactions with beloved characters, tavern, and shops. This transformation is more than a name change, it’s a complete reimagining of over 90% of the second park’s offerings since 2002.

At Disney Adventure World, your favorite Disney Animation, Pixar and Marvel Studios stories come to life like never before. After experiencing the excitement of Hollywood at World Premiere, the stunning new entrance unveiled last May, you can now dive deeper into these stories at World of Frozen, Marvel Avengers Campus, and Worlds of Pixar.

The journey continues through Adventure Way, a vibrant promenade that will feature lush gardens for relaxation, a variety of live entertainment, and 14 brand-new culinary experiences.

The beautifully landscaped gardens are inspired by beloved Disney and Pixar tales, from the romantic Tangled Garden to the playful Toy Story Garden, where statues of Woody and Jessie stand among trees trimmed into toy shapes.

At The Gazebo Garden, there’s an English-style retreat adorned with bronze statues inspired by Disney Animation classics such as Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians.

Seasonal entertainment will also bring the space to life from Rapunzel and Flynn’s Musical Encounter in spring to Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band in summer, Miguel’s Latin Festival in fall and a variety of character greetings starting next November. Adding to the magic, the lively Disney Marching Band, led by Minnie Mouse and her 12 musicians, will parade down Adventure Way with renditions of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel favorites.

And that’s not all, on the scenic banks of Adventure Bay, the West Pavilion will offer guests a charming retreat inspired by early 20th-century architecture. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will be dressed in new Victorian outfits crafted by the talented cast members at the Disneyland Paris Costume Workshop. Shortly after the opening in 2026, even more Disney characters will join the lakeside fun.

Adventure Way will also debut a new family attraction, Raiponce Tangled Spin, inspired by the beloved Disney Animation film Tangled. Here you’ll whirl around in a gondola beneath a sky illuminated with floating lanterns and accompanied by the iconic song “I See the Light.” Exclusively for the attraction, Mandy Moore, the original voice of Rapunzel, recorded audio announcements.

Just beyond Rapoince Tangled Spin, you’ll stumble upon the elegant The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge. This table-service restaurant will offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a refined atmosphere decorated with embroidered drapes, floral tapestries, delicate wood moldings, and stunning murals of Disney Princesses.

Speaking of Disney Princesses, you’ll also have the chance to meet a few, including Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Merida from Brave, Jasmine from Aladdin, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Mulan from Mulan and Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Every detail of The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge has been crafted meticulously with artistry in mind. Ornamental plates inspired by Disney Princesses were handmade by Royal Delft, the renowned Dutch porcelain manufacturer and official supplier to the Dutch royal family. Above the entrance, a magnificent canopy created by workshops in Alsace showcases ironwork expertise dating back to the early 19th century.

Over on the lounge side, you’ll find the very first bar located at either of the two Disneyland Paris parks. This elegant space is decorated in royal-blue hues and features a striking wooden bar accented with gold. Adorning the lounge are artworks celebrating the beloved animal companions of Disney Princesses, including Heihei from Moana, Pascal from Tangled and Mushu from Mulan. Here you can unwind with signature cocktails, indulge at the barpersonalities of Disney Princesses. Both the restaurant and lounge will feature breathtaking views of Adventure Bay and World of Frozen, making it the perfect spot to watch the new nighttime show.

With 14 brand-new food and beverage locations along Adventure Way, there’s even more offerings to savor. La Terrasse Panoramique will serve hearty bread bowls, New York rolls, and comforting hot beverages.

Café Luminosity will feature an original hot dog with four signature recipes, paired with sweet treats like cinnamon rolls. Chalets and mobile carts will offer new bites such as filled brioche rolls, stuffed potato waffles, and whimsical desserts inspired by Disney Princesses.

As day ends, at park close Adventure Bay will become the stage for a groundbreaking new nighttime spectacular “Disney Cascade of Lights.” This 360° show will serve as the grand finale each evening with a ballet of hundreds of drones, choreographed fountains, water screens, and pyrotechnics, all set to a powerful orchestral score.

Inspired by stories from Disney Animation’s Mulan, Hercules, Moana and Zootopia, Pixar’s Up, and from the Marvel Universe, the show displays a dazzling celebration of courage and imagination.

Pushing the boundaries of innovation, this nighttime spectacular will feature the world’s first integration of a revolutionary aquatic drone system alongside next-generation aerial drones, creating breathtaking choreographies across sky and water. It will also feature new arrangements of Disney classics and an original anthem, “We Can Be Heroes.”

In the months ahead, the Disney Live Entertainment team will be hard at work perfecting the choreography of aerial and aquatic drones, blending cutting-edge special effects with seamless precision.

As guests step onto Adventure Way, they will also be greeted by a brand-new musical score composed exclusively for this promenade. This original 40-minute theme, recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, creates a magical soundtrack that complements the lush gardens, elegant architecture, and vibrant entertainment along the avenue.

World of Frozen will open as part of Disney Adventure World, an extraordinary new land that brings the kingdom of Arendelle to life like never before. This expansion will feature stunning architecture, including the towering North Mountain crowned by Elsa’s Ice Palace, and a vibrant village square inspired by Nordic design.

At the heart of the land is Frozen Ever After, a family-friendly boat ride that journeys through iconic scenes from the films, enhanced by lifelike Audio-Animatronics figures and cutting-edge projection technology. Discover a Royal Encounter with Anna and Elsa inside Arendelle Castle, or join in the festivities with “A Celebration in Arendelle,” a daytime show staged on Viking longships in Arendelle Bay.

The land will also offer quick-service dining at Nordic Crowns Tavern, exclusive merchandise at Arendelle Boutique, and interactive surprises like meeting Rúna, a baby troll companion. Every detail, from handcrafted décor to new music composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, has been designed to push the boundaries of storytelling.
