Planning a visit to Disneyland Paris in 2026? There’s more magic awaiting you than meets the eye, from a completely reimagined second park to an enchanting, icy world. Curious about what you absolutely shouldn’t miss during your trip this year?
Disney Adventure World: The Reimagined Second Park
As of 29th March 2026, the former Walt Disney Studios Park is officially known as Disney Adventure World (Disneyland Paris’ second park, alongside Disneyland Park). With an investment of over two billion euros, the park has been given a completely new identity: a new entrance via Adventure Way, vibrant themed lands, and an entirely new evening spectacular on the water. For families who have visited before, it will feel almost like stepping into a brand-new park.
World of Frozen: A Journey to Arendelle
The absolute highlight of Disney Adventure World is World of Frozen, a fully immersive themed land centred around the kingdom of Arendelle. You’ll literally step into Arendelle’s village square, with breathtaking views of the 36-metre-high North Mountain and Elsa’s Ice Palace. The family-friendly attraction, Frozen Ever After, invites you on a musical boat journey through beloved scenes from the films. If you’re visiting with young children, do be mindful of wait times: this is sure to be one of the most popular spots in all of Disneyland Paris.

Kevin’s Tip
Visiting World of Frozen for the first time? Upon arrival, book a time slot for Frozen Ever After straight away via the official app, or make sure you arrive as early as possible. This can easily save you an hour of waiting, leaving you with more energy for the rest of your magical day.
Disney Princess Cavalcade: New Parade from 24th July
From 24th July 2026, a brand-new parade will grace Disney Adventure World: the Disney Princess Cavalcade. Rapunzel and Tiana will join Raya and Moana in a colourful procession along the park’s pathways. This is a delightful addition for families with children who adore the Disney Princesses, and a wonderful reason to plan your visit around midday.
Disney Cascade of Lights and New Flavours
As evening falls, the lake in Disney Adventure World transforms into an open-air stage for Disney Cascade of Lights, the second park’s first daily evening spectacular. The show draws inspiration from Moana, Mulan, Hercules, Zootopia, Up, and stories from the Marvel universe. There are also exciting culinary changes to discover: at Casa Giulia, you can savour new Italian-inspired dishes, while Pelé Soccer combines a football theme with delicious treats for a relaxed pit stop. Furthermore, several hotels surrounding the park have recently been renovated, offering fresher rooms and inviting communal areas.

KTW Magazine — the fastest way to DLP
Welcome to KTW Magazine! I’m Kevin Schrier, the founder of this platform. My passion for Disney began in the opening year of Disneyland Paris, in 1992, when I visited the park with my whole family – my parents and my brother. I was only three years old at the time.
After that first trip, the park quickly became the setting for a very special tradition between my mother and me. Our exclusive trips together created a magical bond that makes this place extra special to me.
With KTW Magazine I combine my years of experience with the latest news and practical tips and tricks. I love sharing my knowledge and inspiring other visitors for a carefree and unforgettable trip to Disneyland Paris.
