Disneyland Paris is preparing for a significant shift as Walt Disney Studios Park continues its evolution into Disney Adventure World. Guests can already see fresh concept art, structural updates, and the removal of the classic entrance sign, all marking a new era for the resort. The reimagined park officially opens on March 29, 2026, supported by a multibillion-euro investment that aims to bring guests closer to the stories they love.
At the center of this transformation is World of Frozen, which debuts the same day the park takes on its new identity. The land will feature a full-scale version of Arendelle, where the towering North Mountain and its ice palace are already rising above the skyline.
Construction is advancing quickly, giving fans an early look at the kingdom that inspired the upcoming offerings. Inside the land, visitors can look forward to a boat ride similar to Frozen Ever After, a daytime fjord show, and meet-and-greets with Anna and Elsa inside their castle. An advanced Olaf animatronic is also in development, with the goal of creating a lifelike interaction for guests. Shops, dining, and village details complete the area, making Arendelle feel like a working kingdom.
Disney Adventure World’s new identity extends well beyond Frozen. Guests will explore Marvel Avengers Campus, Worlds of Pixar, Adventure Bay, and a new green-lined promenade called Adventure Way. This walkway will link the various lands and introduce food locations, fresh spaces, and new attractions—including one inspired by Tangled. Development has also begun on a Lion King-themed area that will expand the park in the future.
As Disneyland Paris moves toward these big milestones, another major addition is arriving sooner. Just ahead of the release of James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025), the resort will introduce a new Avatar attraction. The news was shared by Helene Etzi, President of The Walt Disney Company France & GM Média, who highlighted the celebration tied to the film’s European premiere.
“A huge and sincere tribute to James Cameron and the exceptional team of the film who made the trip: Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Bailey Bass, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Britain Dalton and David Thewlis,” she wrote on social media. “Their presence and generosity made this event magical for their French fans.”
She continued by noting one of the standout moments: “Among the most memorable moments, how can we not mention the breathtaking show of 3,700 drones that drew spectacular tableaux in the Parisian sky to the original music of Simon Franglen! A breathtaking performance, which will be available in Disneyland Paris from December 13 to 17!”
Avatar: Fire and Ash, releasing December 19, 2025, shifts the saga to the volcanic badlands of Pandora, home to the Ash People—an isolated Na’vi clan shaped by loss and conflict. The film follows Jake, Neytiri, and their family as they confront the emotional aftereffects of earlier battles. Cameron deepens the story by exploring generational trauma, cultural conflict, and the question of what healing looks like in a world carrying the remnants of war.
With new biomes, new clans, and deeper themes, Pandora continues to expand while keeping its attention on family, legacy, and belonging.
