What Is Disney Adventure World?
Disney Adventure World is the newly reimagined second theme park at Disneyland Paris, transforming the former Walt Disney Studios Park into a much larger, more immersive experience.
The expansion nearly doubles the size of the park, with storytelling-led lands inspired by some of Disney’s most loved worlds.
Lands Within Disney Adventure World
- World of Frozen (opening March 2026)
- Worlds of Pixar
- Marvel Avengers Campus
- Further themed lands are planned for the future
This transformation marks a huge new chapter for Disneyland Paris.
World of Frozen — Opening 29 March 2026
The headline addition to Disney Adventure World is World of Frozen, a fully immersive land inspired by the Frozen films.
Guests will step directly into the Kingdom of Arendelle, surrounded by authentic Nordic-inspired architecture, music from the films and beautifully detailed scenery.
What You’ll See in Arendelle
- The towering North Mountain crowned by Elsa’s Ice Palace
- A bustling village inspired by the Frozen movies
- Seasonal decorations and immersive soundscapes throughout the land
This is a land designed to feel alive — not just something you walk through, but something you experience.
Frozen Ever After Ride
One of the main attractions in World of Frozen is Frozen Ever After, a gentle yet captivating musical boat ride suitable for all ages.
During the journey, you’ll:
- Sail through the streets of Arendelle
- Travel deep into snowy landscapes and troll territory
- Visit Elsa’s Ice Palace
- Hear iconic songs including Let It Go and Do You Want to Build a Snowman?
With advanced animatronics, stunning visuals and immersive storytelling, this ride is set to become one of the most popular experiences at Disneyland Paris.
Expert tip: This will be in very high demand, especially during the opening year, so planning when to ride is key.
Entertainment & Character Experiences
Meet Anna and Elsa
Inside Arendelle Castle, guests can enjoy Royal Encounters with Anna and Elsa, offering beautifully themed meet-and-greet experiences and memorable photo opportunities.
A Celebration on the Water
A vibrant Frozen-themed show takes place on Arendelle Bay, featuring Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and friends aboard themed boats. Expect music, colour and moments where guests can join in the fun.
A Disney First: Walk-Around Olaf
One of the most exciting innovations coming to World of Frozen is a free-roaming Olaf character — a world-first experience at Disneyland Paris.
Using next-generation robotics and intelligent character technology, Olaf is designed to:
- Move freely around Arendelle Bay
- Walk, wave and gesture naturally
- Express emotions through facial movement
- Interact organically with guests and other characters
Because Olaf is a small character, this technology makes it possible to bring him to life in a way that simply wouldn’t work with a traditional costume performer. It’s a huge leap forward in Disney character experiences and something we expect to completely change how guests experience meet-and-greets.
Dining, Shopping & Details That Matter
World of Frozen includes:
- Themed dining options inspired by the culture of Arendelle
- Exclusive Frozen merchandise you won’t find elsewhere
- Nordic-style shops and interactive elements throughout the land
Every detail has been carefully designed to keep guests immersed from start to finish.
Adventure Bay & Park-Wide Expansion
At the heart of Disney Adventure World sits Adventure Bay, a large central lake that connects the lands together. This area will host entertainment, character moments and scenic viewpoints.
A brand-new nighttime spectacular featuring water, light and cutting-edge effects is also part of the wider transformation, making evenings in the park just as magical as the daytime.
Why 2026 Is the Year to Visit Disneyland Paris
There has never been a better time to plan a trip:
- World of Frozen is brand new and highly anticipated
- The park transformation brings Pixar, Marvel and Frozen together
- New technology and immersive storytelling elevate the entire experience
Demand is expected to be very high, particularly around school holidays and launch periods, so early planning is strongly recommended.
