HUGE Disney Park Expansion Opens Tomorrow!

Disney is expanding its parks at a rapid pace, and the next chapter is about to arrive in France!

World of Frozen

Disneyland Paris is the Disney Resort of the hour, as its Walt Disney Studios Park OFFICIALLY rebrands to Disney Adventure World TOMORROW, March 29th, 2026! We were recently invited to check out all the changes at the park and got a great look at the NEW World of Frozen expansion, which also opens tomorrow alongside some other bold offerings. From new rides to restaurants to a boatload of incredible souvenirs, there are tons of reasons to drop by this Parisian park as soon as possible!

Featuring five distinct lands (with more on the way), Disney Adventure World currently includes an upgraded entrance that lets guests step onto the red carpet and explore World Premiere Plaza — a space where Disney and Pixar stories come to life through entertainment, attractions, and special character meet-and-greets.

But let’s focus on the expansion aspect of the park. After all, it is what left the biggest impression on us! When it opens tomorrow, the new World of Frozen land will be full of fun attractions, meet-and-greets, and immersive restaurants that totally immerse fans of the Frozen franchise!

SO pretty

This land is so special that it even has its own castle! You can step inside Arendelle Castle and meet Anna and Elsa thanks to “Rencontre Royal,” which not only features the iconic characters but also tons of decorative Easter eggs that call back to the films.

It’s Anna and Elsa!

Be sure to check out the paintings on the wall and other decor that might seem familiar!

We’re in the main hall!

If you’re looking for rides, this land has you covered with Frozen Ever After — the French version!

Back in Arendelle!

There are other iterations of the ride at Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, and EPCOT, and this experience is similar to those in most ways.

Let it gooooo!

When we rode it, we thought it was charming and a great addition to the growing Frozen attractions around the world.

But the one thing that might stand out most to you is the INCREDIBLE roaming Olaf animatronic!

Unfortunately, we didn’t see him rolling around during the day, but he was present during a show (in puppet form) in Arendelle Bay.

He looks amazing!

Speaking of the show, “A Celebration in Arendelle” is a magnificent spectacle that takes place on Viking longships in Arendelle Bay.

Welcome to World of Frozen in Disney Adventure World!

Featuring both French and English, this show is packed with colorful scenery, special water effects, and even fireworks!

Beautiful!

The World of Frozen is also PACKED with plenty of themed shopping experiences and unique souvenirs.

Olaf Plushes

Let’s talk dining. Nordic Crowns Tavern is a new quick-service restaurant open for both lunch and dinner that features decor “that tells the story of the kingdom through galleries of paintings and royal artifacts.” Here, guests are served a customizable dining experience inspired by Nordic cuisine.

Nordic Crowns Tavern

The menu will feature 16 possible combinations, each of which starts with hearty bases like mashed potatoes or quinoa, paired with proteins like grilled salmon or Nordic meatballs. You’ll also get seasonal veggies and tangy cranberry or creamy dill sauce.

We were NOT fans of this one

The Tavern is also home to frosty desserts like blue sorbet, vanilla ice cream with customizable toppings, delicate snowflake treats, and traditional pastries.

Olaf’s Cold Hug

Unfortunately, we were left a bit unimpressed with this one. We’re hoping we were just unlucky, but you can read our full review nevertheless by clicking the link below.

REVIEW: Disney’s New ‘Frozen’ Themed Restaurant Just Threw Us for a Massive Loop

The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge is a new table-service restaurant in the land that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Let’s go inside Disney’s new restaurant!

Now, this spot was much more of a hit with our reporters! Meals here are served in a “refined atmosphere decorated with embroidered drapes, floral tapestries, delicate wood moldings,” featuring murals of popular Disney Princesses. It’s regal, elegant, and a space that captivates your attention the second you enter it.

It’s GORGEOUS

Keep in mind that this is a Princess character meal, so you may want to specifically highlight it on your itinerary sheet before your next Disneyland Paris visit. Here, you can meet favorites like Belle, Merida, Jasmine, Aurora, Mulan, and Ariel!

Merida!

The lounge here is the first bar located in either of the Disneyland Paris parks, and is dedicated to the animal companions of Disney Princesses. There are tons of nods to fan-favorites like Heihei, Pascal, and Mushu!

Floral Whisper

The views of Adventure Bay and the World of Frozen fireworks will keep you coming back for more!

Not a bad view

REVIEW: We Just Dined With ROYALTY At Disney’s NEW Restaurant

There are also 14 brand-new food and beverage locations along Adventure Way. La Terrasse Panoramique serves hearty bread bowls, New York rolls, and comforting hot beverages, and Café Luminosity serves up an original hot dog with four signature recipes, paired with sweet treats like cinnamon rolls.

Cafe Luminosity

We ended up trying a hot dog and wanted to love it so bad, but alas, we were a tad disappointed.

You can also get new snacks at mobile food carts. There are plenty of fun offerings like filled brioche rolls, stuffed potato waffles, and whimsical desserts inspired by Disney Princesses.

It’s so nice

The park’s promenade is also worth visiting, as it features themed gardens and a variety of live entertainment, such as a Tangled Garden and a Toy Story Garden. There are also seasonal entertainment options like “Rapunzel and Flynn’s Musical Encounter in spring to Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band in summer, Miguel’s Latin Festival in fall, and a variety of character greetings starting next November.”

Of course, what’s a Disney Parks experience without being able to meet Mickey and Minnie, who are donning new costumes?!

Mickey!

Disney Cascade of Lights is also a new water, light, and sound special effects show that features hundreds of drones, pyrotechnics, choreographed fountains, and more in a 360-degree view!

This show is amazing!

We were truly blown away by this spectacle and think it might be Disney’s most gorgeous show yet!

WOW!

Finally, we’ve gotta mention the new Tangled ride that’s opening tomorrow! Raiponce Tangled Spin features boats (identical to the ones in the movie) that whirl guests around beneath floating lanterns, and it’s sure to put a smile on the faces of fans of all ages.

Raiponce Tangled Spin

The ride features the iconic “I See the Light” song, and Mandy Moore herself has even reprised the role of Rapunzel for some voice-over work exclusively for the attraction!

All the lanterns
