The French entertainment resort celebrated its 33rd anniversary earlier this month and to mark the occasion, Disneyland Paris has revealed some of the construction plans for the second park transformation and hotel revamps.

Studio 1 at Walt Disney Studios Park has been rethemed and has turned from a place that used to offer a behind-the-scenes insight into the magic of movie-making to being renamed World Premiere, an area where guests will be transported to the glamour of a Hollywood film premiere.

Construction for the brand-new 'Frozen' themed area in the second park is progressively underway and is coming into view for visitors with the finishing touches being added to the North Mountain, which rises 36 metres above the ground.

The area is set to open in 2026 and guests will be able to be immersed in Arendelle and meet sisters Anna and Elsa.

A flying carousel that will spin in the air and matches the theme of Pixar film 'Up' will also be built, offering a bird’s-eye view of the park’s scenery.

Last year, Disneyland Paris announced it would be building a land dedicated to 'The Lion King' and construction for this is set to start this autumn.

Michel Den Dulk, Vice President and Portfolio Executive Creative Director at Walt Disney Imagineering, said: "We are looking forward to launching the construction of this new immersive world inspired by 'The Lion King' and its major attraction, which will mark another milestone for Disney Adventure World. The main attraction will showcase the key features of Disney experiences: lovable characters, an unforgettable soundtrack, immersive décor and effects, and exciting thrills thoughtfully delivered throughout the adventure. All of the Imagineers who work on this project have their hearts set on paying a vibrant homage to this timeless masterpiece by creating unforgettable memories for all our guests."

Natacha Rafalski, President of Disneyland Paris, added: "As our second gate continues its transformation, we are proud to be unveiling the next milestone with the opening of World Premiere in a few weeks. As part of the 2-billion-euro investment plan announced in 2018, we continue to reinvent this park with a fresh creative vision. At the end of its expansion journey – which includes the opening of Adventure Way, Adventure Bay, and World of Frozen in 2026, and later an immersive world themed to 'The Lion King' – we’ll have reimagined more than 90 per cent of the park’s offerings since its debut in 2002, and roughly doubled its footprint to truly become a can’t-miss experience!”
