Disneyland Paris is on the verge of one of the most ambitious transformations in its history. After years of anticipation, Disney has officially announced that World of Frozen will open in Spring 2026 as part of the newly reimagined Disney Adventure World—the new name for what is currently known as Walt Disney Studios Park. According to Disney and fan community updates, the exact opening date being discussed is March 22, 2026, though Disney has not yet confirmed that specific day.Credit: DisneyThis long-awaited addition marks not only the debut of the first Frozen-themed land in Europe but also the rebirth of Disneyland Paris’s second gate as a true Disney park, complete with immersive storytelling, ambitious design, and an entirely new identity.DLP Rescue Rangers (@DLPRescueRanger) shared, “ The land Frozen would open at Disney Adventure World (formerly Walt Disney Studios park) on March 22, 2026!Info from magicfocus on the Discord server Le Royaume des Passionnés” Le land Reine des Neiges ouvrirait à Disney Adventure World (anciennement parc Walt Disney Studios) le 22 mars 2026!Info de magicfocus sur le serveur Discord Le Royaume des Passionnés pic.twitter.com/Uzew8T7fhV— DLP Rescue Rangers (@DLPRescueRanger) October 31, 2025From Walt Disney Studios Park to Disney Adventure WorldFor over two decades, Walt Disney Studios Park has been seen as the underdog of the Disney parks family. When it opened in 2002, it lacked the immersive detail and emotional storytelling that define other Disney destinations. Now, all of that is about to change.Disney’s multi-year, multi-billion-euro investment—first announced in 2018—is transforming the park from the ground up. Over 90% of the original offerings are being reimagined or replaced, with the park’s footprint nearly doubling in size. The goal is simple: to turn it into a full-fledged Disney park worthy of standing alongside the iconic Disneyland Park next door.The transformation includes new themed areas, a reimagined entrance corridor, and a scenic central lake called Adventure Bay, which will feature a brand-new nighttime spectacular combining fountains, lights, projections, and drones. Once the transformation is complete, Disney Adventure World will include immersive lands themed to Frozen, The Lion King, Marvel, Pixar, and more.Entering the Kingdom of ArendelleCredit: DisneyAt the heart of this massive expansion lies World of Frozen, a land that brings the story of Arendelle to life like never before. Guests will step into the world of Anna and Elsa, surrounded by detailed architecture, picturesque fjords, and snow-capped peaks rising above the horizon.The highlight of the land will be Frozen Ever After, a boat ride similar to the attraction found at Epcot in Walt Disney World but enhanced with unique elements for Paris. Beyond the attraction, guests will be able to explore Arendelle’s village streets, dine in themed restaurants, and shop for Frozen-inspired merchandise.Elsa’s Ice Palace will crown the North Mountain as a striking visual landmark, while live entertainment and character encounters are expected to elevate the experience even further. Early glimpses of the construction show remarkable progress, with the landscape and castle structures already taking shape, suggesting that the land is well on its way to completion.The Transformation So FarWorld of Frozen is only one part of a much larger creative overhaul taking place at Disneyland Paris. The transformation began with projects like the reimagined Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, the reopening of Disneyland Hotel, and the launch of Avengers Campus in 2022.Recently, Disney also unveiled World Premiere, the new gateway to Disney Adventure World. Replacing the old Studio 1 building, World Premiere has been redesigned to feel like a glamorous Hollywood premiere night under a starlit sky. Inside, guests will find restaurants, shops, and décor inspired by the golden age of film, setting the stage for the adventures beyond.Once outside, visitors will enter World Premiere Plaza, a vibrant area inspired by Broadway and the West End, celebrating Disney Animation and Pixar stories. This reimagined central hub will connect seamlessly to Adventure Way, Adventure Bay, and the new immersive worlds—including World of Frozen.Adventure Way and BeyondCredit: DisneyBefore reaching Arendelle, guests will stroll through Adventure Way, a lush, story-filled promenade featuring gardens themed to beloved Disney and Pixar films such as Tangled and Toy Story. This area will act as a tranquil transition between the entrance and the park’s new lands, offering beautiful pathways, landscaping, and storytelling details.Adventure Way will also introduce the Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, a stylish new dining location where guests can meet Disney Princesses and enjoy panoramic views of Adventure Bay. The restaurant will offer an ideal vantage point to watch the park’s upcoming nighttime spectacular over the water.In the years following World of Frozen’s debut, Disney will continue to expand the park with a new Lion King-themed land, further cementing Disney Adventure World as one of the most exciting and immersive parks in Europe.Why Fans Are So ExcitedFor many Disney fans, the news of World of Frozen’s opening represents more than just a new attraction—it symbolizes the long-awaited fulfillment of Disneyland Paris’s potential. Walt Disney Studios Park was often criticized for feeling incomplete or under-themed, but the upcoming transformation promises to change that perception completely.Disney Imagineers have taken inspiration from successful transformations at other parks, such as California Adventure’s overhaul and Hong Kong Disneyland’s expansions. The same philosophy applies here: turn an underperforming park into a rich, cinematic world filled with stories, detail, and heart.And while expectations might be tempered by the fact that Paris’s Frozen area follows the ones in Hong Kong and Tokyo, that’s actually a good sign—those lands are widely considered world-class, setting a high standard for the Paris version to meet. If the entertainment, atmosphere, and storytelling live up to Disneyland Paris’s usual strengths, World of Frozen could be one of the resort’s most magical and emotional experiences yet.The Countdown to 2026As construction nears completion, excitement continues to build. Fans who’ve followed Disneyland Paris for years know how significant this transformation is. The park that once struggled to find its identity is finally stepping into its own, with a clear creative vision and a focus on immersive storytelling.Whether or not March 22, 2026, proves to be the exact opening date, one thing is certain: Spring 2026 will mark a turning point for Disneyland Paris. World of Frozen will serve as the crown jewel of Disney Adventure World’s grand reopening, ushering in a new era for the resort—and offering guests across Europe a chance to experience the magic of Arendelle firsthand.After years of underinvestment and criticism, Disneyland Paris’s second gate is ready to shine. The wait has been long, but the reward promises to be spectacular. In 2026, visitors will be able to say goodbye to Walt Disney Studios Park—and hello to Disney Adventure World, a true Disney park reborn in the heart of France.The post BREAKING: Disney’s NEW Historic Kingdom Sets Opening Date appeared first on Inside the Magic.
