Disney Is Changing How Its Princesses Look – And It Starts Next Month
Disney princesses are getting new looks at one theme park, starting in March.
The redesign will debut at Disneyland Paris as part of a wider overhaul that goes beyond costumes. It arrives alongside a park-wide rebrand, new lands, and a renewed focus on character-led experiences tied to dining rather than traditional meet-and-greets.
Character encounters remain one of Disney’s most reliable draws. Across the company’s global parks, guests expect to see familiar faces woven into daily operations, from parades and dining to scheduled appearances in themed settings.
Iconic princesses such as Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle frequently pop up at Disney parks worldwide, often wearing standardized costumes that reinforce brand consistency. That uniformity makes any deviation — especially a park-exclusive one — notable.
The upcoming changes are tied to Disney Adventure World, the new identity for Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris. The rebrand officially launches on March 29, 2026, introducing new lands, attractions, and dining venues.
At the center of the expansion is World of Frozen, a large-scale land inspired by Frozen. Guests will be able to meet Anna and Elsa there, alongside a new walking-and-talking Olaf animatronic designed to roam the area.
The expansion also introduces Adventure Way, a landscaped promenade that connects the park’s new offerings. It leads to Adventure Bay, a central lake that will serve as the setting for a new nighttime spectacular.
Adventure Way will also host Raiponce Tangled Spin, a Tangled-inspired attraction, and a new table-service restaurant built specifically around princess appearances rather than ride adjacency.
A Park-Exclusive Princess Redesign
That restaurant, The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, will be the debut location for the redesigned princess looks.
According to DLP Report, the princesses appearing at the venue will wear “different outfits – something that doesn’t exist anywhere else.”

The confirmed lineup includes Belle, Aurora, and Ariel. Disney-released concept imagery also features Merida and Jasmine, suggesting additional characters may rotate through the experience.
Disney has not detailed how the new princess costumes differ from existing park designs. What is clear is that the looks are exclusive to this location, marking a departure from Disney’s usual global standardization.
The restaurant itself is themed as the “favorite summer residence” of Disney princesses. Its elevated position offers views over Adventure Bay, designed to change dramatically between daytime and evening.
Unlike traditional meet-and-greets, princess interactions here will take place in a seated dining environment, aligning the redesigns with a more premium, curated experience.
Dining Drives the Shift
The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge is also central to Disney Adventure World’s broader dining strategy.
The menu was created by Chef Olivier Arthur and draws inspiration from the worlds associated with Disney princess stories, rather than direct character branding.
The Menu du Chêne Royal is priced at €100 ($118) per adult. It includes bluefin tuna tataki, North African-style roast guinea fowl, steak with onion confit, and a Marc de Champagne frozen soufflé.
Breakfast costs €60 ($71) per adult. Options include smoked salmon with dill cream on Nordic bread and eggs, or pancakes with seasonal fruit, blueberries, and maple syrup.
The venue also includes a lounge and bar area offering themed cocktails such as the Princely Eden, Sereni’Fizz Highness, and the alcohol-free Enchanted Carriage.
Unlike the restaurant, the bar does not require a reservation.
“Drop by anytime and unwind in the only bar within the Disney Parks,” Disney says. “Enjoy its relaxed, elegant atmosphere — perfect for couples or friends — while taking in the breathtaking view over the lake. No reservation required.”
That flexibility is unusual for Disney and reflects a wider attempt to modernize the Paris resort’s food and beverage reputation.
Disneyland Paris – which recently debuted a brand-new McDonald’s in its Disney Village area – has long faced criticism for inconsistent dining quality and limited menus compared to U.S. parks. The new offerings aim to address that perception.
Alongside The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, Nordic Crowns Tavern in World of Frozen represents a shift toward more immersive theming and higher-end dining concepts at the reimagined Disney park.
