Disneyland Paris will debut Disney Adventure World on March 29, featuring a major expansion and a new Frozen world.
The time has finally come for the gate to open.
Disney Adventure World opens March 29 at Disneyland Paris, inviting guests to explore popular series from Disney Animation, Pixar and Marvel, including the new world of Frozen.
While this isn’t entirely a first since Hong Kong Disneyland’s World of Frozen opened in 2023, followed by the Frozen section of Tokyo DisneySea’s Fantasy Springs, it’s an entirely new experience for Europe’s most-visited tourist destination.
USA TODAY was invited to get an early peek at the newly renovated park.
Here’s what those looking to visit should know:
What is Disney Adventure World?
Disney Adventure World is the new name for Walt Disney Studios Park, which has recently undergone a transformation over the past several years.
Expansion continues, with new worlds inspired by Disney’s The Lion King and a new Flying Carousel inspired by Up.
“At the end of our expansion journey, which includes the opening of Adventure Way, Adventure Bay and the World of Frozen in 2026, followed by the opening of the Lion King-themed immersive world, we will have reimagined more than 90 percent of the park’s offering since its debut in 2002, nearly doubling its footprint and making it a truly unmissable experience,” Disneyland Paris President Natasha Rafalski said last April.
What’s coming to Disney Adventure World?
Guests enter the newly expanded area of the park through a tree-lined path called Adventure Way. This boulevard encircles Adventure Bay, a vast new lagoon that hosts the new nighttime spectacular, Disney’s Cascade of Lights.
Along the way, you’ll pass European-style gardens with seasonal entertainment and a new “Rapunzel in the Tower” attraction called Lyponse Tangled Spin, inspired by the Lantern scene in the movie. Reponse is the French name for Rapunzel. There will also be some of the park’s 14 new dining venues, including Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, which offers character dining featuring Disney Princesses and the resort’s first in-park bar, offering all-day dining.
The biggest addition is World of Frozen Paris, which takes guests to the fictional land of Arendelle after Frozen II.
Featuring a beautiful new Frozen Ever After ride, it will feel familiar but a little different to guests who have experienced its sister ride at Walt Disney World’s Epcot. There’s also a new Celebration in Arendelle show that runs several times a day, featuring a new high-tech Olaf robot Disney Imagineer designed to look like he just jumped out of the screen.
But the main attraction for Frozen fans is Arendelle itself, packed with Easter eggs and rich details. For example, guests waiting to meet Queen Anna and Elsa in “Elsa and Anna’s Royal Encounter” may notice that the portrait at the entrance is the same one that Anna posed in in the first movie. The bulletin board outside the quick-service Nordic Crowns restaurant has a banned Duke of Weselton wanted-style poster on it. There are many other little surprises that you can discover firsthand.
Where will the world of Frozen be?
World of Frozen Paris is located at the back of Disney Adventure World, just beyond Adventure Bay.
Is World of Frozen another ticket?
No, it’s included in your admission to Disney Adventure World.
How much does Disneyland Paris cost?
Similar to Disney Parks in the United States, ticket prices for Disneyland Paris vary by date. However, unlike its domestic parks, Disneyland Paris sells both dated and non-dated tickets.
Undated single-day tickets are significantly more expensive than dated tickets, but are only valid for any single day within one year of purchase.
Please check the resort website for the latest rates.
As of March 9, the lowest price for a dated one-day, one-park ticket is listed as $59 for adults and $54 for children on January 20, 2027.
Unlike Disneyland and Walt Disney World, where adult prices apply starting at age 10, children 12 and older are considered adults for ticketing purposes at Disneyland Paris. Children under the age of 3 are admitted free at all three resorts.
