Disneyland Paris Resort is reimagining Walt Disney Studios Park
While celebrating its 32nd anniversary, Disneyland Paris Resort made a huge announcement on Friday. The company is completely reimagining the neighboring park, Walt Disney Studios Park and giving it a thorough makeover. Once the magical changes are made, the park will be named Disney Adventure World.
According to Disney, the new adventure park will allow “guests to step into their favorite stories in uniquely Disney way.” Meanwhile, this is part of an overall two-billion-euro destination investment which includes new attractions, entertainment, shopping and a new dining district Disney Village. It will also include an ongoing transformation of its on-site hotels.
Today, we are changing the story of Walt Disney Studios Park, evolving from ‘how it’s done’ soundstages to celebratory theaters and adventures that come to life in immersive worlds.
These fully realized adventure worlds will become the focus of the park’s new identity and appear as realms that guests discover as they navigate deeper within the park and are invited to participate in adventures inspired by our most beloved stories.
What will the transformation be about?
The company begins the transformation of Walt Disney Studios Park into Disney World Adventure this month, starting with its entrance. It won’t be long until guests can experience a “vibrant, contemporary open-air movie studio before becoming special guests of a glamorous film premiere in the heart of Hollywood on a starry night.”
While the current entrance is a colorful indoor replica soundstage, this will be reimagined and will pay homage to the historic Hollywood movie theaters. Moreover, this is set to open in the spring of 2025.
‘Embracing a transformation’
Natacha Rafalski, President of Disneyland Paris also spoke about the reimagining of Walt Disney Studios Park, saying:
Embracing a transformation that involves the overhaul of more than 90 percent of Walt Disney Studios Park since its debut in 2002, we’re unveiling a fresh creative vision that has completely redefined our second gate.
This significant evolution inspired us to rename the Park, heralding a vibrant new chapter for Disneyland Paris. With our commitment to pushing the boundaries of immersion and innovation, we’re crafting breathtaking new experiences and spectacular moments at Disney Adventure World that will resonate more than ever with our guests. It’s set to offer unique adventures in immersive worlds, serving as a perfect complement to Disneyland Park.
So far, no official opening date has been announced for the newly revamped park, other than the spring of 2025.
