DISNEYLAND PARIS REVEALS DISNEY ADVENTURE WORLD AND OPENS THE WORLD OF FROZEN | News
Today, Disneyland Paris enters a bold new chapter with the opening of World of Frozen and the unveiling of the revamped second park, now renamed Disney Adventure World. This historic transformation represents one of the most ambitious expansions in the resort’s history, offering guests fully immersive worlds inspired by stories from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios and Marvel.
At the heart of this new experience is Adventure Way, a vibrant boardwalk designed as a gateway to discovery, 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 is home to the all-new nighttime spectacular Disney Cascade of Lights. Behind it rises the centerpiece of the expansion, World of Frozen, a fully immersive land that transports guests to the kingdom of Arendelle.
Opening day began with a heartfelt moment as Make-A-Wish children and their families became the first guests to enter Adventure Way, reflecting Disneyland Paris’ long-standing commitment to bringing joy to those who need it most.
This milestone follows a spectacular opening ceremony that took place the evening before.
During the ceremony, Natacha Rafalski, President of Disneyland® Paris, said: “With Disney Adventure World, we’re not just unveiling a revamped second gate at Disneyland Paris; we’re opening the door to a new era. An era where our guests enter straight into the heart of the stories they love.”
“We continue to expand Disneyland Paris with ambition and purpose,” said Thomas Mazloum, chairman of Disney Experiences. “The reinterpretation of our second gate reflects the very best of what Disney represents: limitless imagination that brings people together.”
“Few stories have resonated with fans around the world as much as Frozen,” said Josh D’Amaro, Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. “From the screen to our parks, cruises and beyond, its impact continues to grow, and with World of Frozen and Disney Adventure World, we are giving guests at Disneyland Paris the opportunity to experience that story in brand new ways.”
The ceremony included a special musical performance celebrating Disney Animation’s Frozen, culminating in a moving duet between a young Make-A-Wish child and French-American singer Santa. The moment was enhanced by the appearance of Olaf, brought to life through advanced robotic technology developed by Walt Disney Imagineering, and marked the 25,000th wish granted at Disneyland Paris since 1992.
The celebration attracted international attention and welcomed celebrities including renowned French designer Christian Louboutin, acclaimed actress Léa Seydoux, French actor Lucas Bravo, film icon Isabelle Huppert and world-renowned football champion Olivier Giroud.
With Disney Adventure World and World of Frozen, Disneyland Paris confirms its position as Europe’s leading tourist destination, continuing to innovate and deliver unforgettable experiences for guests from all over the world.
