On March 29, 2026, Disneyland Paris will open Disney Adventure World and its World of Frozen. Tickets, hotels, CDG shuttles, visiting tips: the complete guide for foreign tourists.

March 29, 2026, will be a milestone in the history of Disneyland Paris. On this day, Walt Disney Studios Park will close its doors for the last time to be reborn under a brand-new name: Disney Adventure World. Along with it, the most anticipated land of the decade finally opens to the public: World of Frozen, a 9,800 m² (approx. 2.4 acres) area entirely dedicated to the Kingdom of Arendelle, featuring a 40-meter-high snow-capped mountain and Elsa's Ice Castle towering over the skyline. For international visitors planning their trip to France, it is the perfect time to (re)discover Europe’s largest Disney resort. However, with tickets to purchase, hotels to book, airport shuttles, and expected crowds, it's best to have a solid plan. This guide brings together everything you need to know for a stress-free experience.

Disney Adventure World: What’s Really Changing on March 29, 2026

We aren't just talking about a simple sign change at the entrance. The transformation of Walt Disney Studios Park into Disney Adventure World represents the most ambitious project in the history of Disneyland Paris, backed by a massive €2 billion investment. As a result, the park's footprint has literally doubled, evolving from a long-criticized studio park into a true multi-world destination worthy of the best Disney parks worldwide.

The new Disney Adventure World is now organized around three major themed worlds: the newly inaugurated World of Frozen, Worlds of Pixar (featuring Ratatouille, Toy Story Playland, and Pixar-themed attractions), and Marvel Avengers Campus, which opened in 2022. A fourth world dedicated to The Lion King is already under construction and is expected to join the park in the coming years.

The park entrance itself has been transformed. Visitors now enter through World Premiere Plaza, a space inspired by the grand cinemas of Broadway and London’s West End, complete with projection effects, palm trees, and a star-studded floor. From there, you step onto Adventure Way, a central promenade lined with themed gardens—Tangled Garden, Toy Story Garden, Gazebo Garden—and no fewer than 14 new restaurants and food outlets.

Disney Adventure World, the reimagined park at Disneyland Paris opening March 29, 2026 — The reimagined entrance of Disney Adventure World welcomes visitors into a setting inspired by Hollywood premieres. World Premiere Plaza kicks things off with projections, palm trees, and a red-carpet atmosphere before leading into the new Adventure Way promenade.

A key point for travelers coming from afar: Disneyland Park (the castle park) remains completely independent of Disney Adventure World. These are two distinct parks, accessible with a 2-park ticket or separately. If you only visit for one day, you must choose. If your goal is World of Frozen, Disney Adventure World is the one you need to select on your ticket.

World of Frozen: Total Immersion in the Kingdom of Arendelle

This is what fans have been waiting for for years. World of Frozen is 7.5 acres (approx. 9,800 m²) entirely dedicated to the Kingdom of Arendelle, with a level of fidelity to the film that would bring the biggest Frozen fans to tears. This is the third Frozen land in the world, following Hong Kong Disneyland (opened November 2023) and the Fantasy Springs zone at Tokyo DisneySea (June 2024)—and according to Disney, it is designed to take immersion even further.

The architecture is directly inspired by the Norwegian style seen in the films. The North Mountain stands 40 meters tall and dominates the land from every angle. Elsa's Ice Castle sparkles at the summit. Below, the Port of Arendelle is faithfully reconstructed along the shores of Adventure Bay lake, with its lighthouse, half-timbered houses, and bustling village square.

Frozen Ever After (The Flagship Attraction): This is the land's main Water Dark Ride. A boat journey through 34 high-tech animatronics retracing the most iconic moments of the film—the snowy forest, the Valley of the Trolls, Elsa's Ice Palace, and the Bay of Arendelle. This Paris version is inspired by the one at EPCOT in Walt Disney World but features next-generation animatronics and new projection effects. In the first few weeks, expect wait times of 2 to 3 hours. Disney Premier Access will be essential to skip the line.

Royal Encounter with Anna and Elsa: You can meet the two queens in the Portrait Gallery of Arendelle Castle. Note: Access is via a virtual queue through the Disneyland Paris app. You must book your slot as soon as the park opens, as spots disappear in minutes.

"A Celebration in Arendelle" (Daytime Show): Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf celebrate Snowflower Day aboard three Viking longships on Adventure Bay. The show lasts about 15 minutes and features two new songs composed specifically for Disneyland Paris by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez—the same duo who wrote 'Let It Go.' Pro tip: Arrive 20 minutes early to secure a front-row spot.

Free-Roaming Olaf Animatronic: This is one of the land's global premieres. Walt Disney Imagineering has unveiled a next-generation robotic Olaf capable of moving freely within the land. He isn't just a character in a costume—it's a technological feat that makes it look like the snowman actually exists.

Nordic Crowns Tavern: The land's main restaurant, with a capacity of 250 seats and stunning views of Adventure Bay. The menu is inspired by Norwegian flavors—expect stews, Nordic breads, and cinnamon treats. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during the opening months.

Other Worlds at Disney Adventure World Not to Be Missed

While World of Frozen draws all the attention, Disney Adventure World offers much more. Taking the time to explore the entire park reveals experiences that easily rival major American theme parks.

Marvel Avengers Campus: Opened in 2022, this land remains one of the best immersive achievements at Disneyland Paris. You'll find Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, and the whole team in a stylized S.W.O.R.D. compound. The star attraction is Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, a high-speed indoor roller coaster alongside Iron Man and Captain Marvel. In 2026, the campus continues to offer Marvel character encounters in a perfectly themed setting.

Worlds of Pixar: The Pixar sector includes several must-do attractions. Ratatouille: The Adventure remains a classic—a 4D attraction that shrinks visitors into the kitchens of Gusteau’s restaurant. RC Racer and Toy Story Playland round out the offer for families with young children. These attractions are generally more accessible in terms of wait times than Frozen Ever After.

Raiponce Tangled Spin: A new attraction opening on March 29, 2026, alongside World of Frozen. It offers a boat ride identical to those in the film, spinning under floating lanterns while 'I See the Light' plays. Rapunzel's voice is provided by Mandy Moore herself, who recorded exclusive announcements for the attraction.

Marvel Avengers Campus at Disney Adventure World, Disneyland Paris — The Marvel Avengers Campus at Disneyland Paris is one of the best in the world. With Avengers Assemble: Flight Force and daily Super Hero encounters, this land perfectly complements the new Disney Adventure World.

Disney Cascade of Lights (Nighttime Show): The grand finale of the day at Disney Adventure World. A symphony of lights, water, fireworks, and hundreds of choreographed drones over Adventure Bay. The show can be viewed from 360 degrees around the lake. We recommend getting to the water's edge 30 to 45 minutes early for a prime spot.

Regal View Restaurant & Lounge: One of the 14 new locations on Adventure Way, this restaurant offers character dining with Disney Princesses (Belle, Jasmine, Aurora, Ariel, Merida, Mulan). Reservations must be made several weeks in advance via the Disneyland Paris app or website.

When to Visit: The Best Time for Disney Adventure World

The opening date for World of Frozen is March 29, 2026—the absolute pivot point for any visitor coming specifically for Frozen. Visiting before this date means missing the main goal. However, visiting right after opening also means record wait times and peak prices. Here is how to choose wisely.

The Ideal Period: Mid-April to mid-June or early September. This is the recommended window to enjoy all the new features, long days with good light, generally mild weather, and crowd levels that are much more reasonable than during the height of summer or school holidays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays outside of holiday periods are the quietest days of the week.

Major Seasonal Events: If you want the atmosphere of official seasons, two events are unmissable: Disney Halloween Festival and Disney Enchanted Christmas. These periods are magical but also very busy and more expensive for accommodation.

How many days to plan? Disneyland Paris officially recommends 3 full days: 2 days for Disneyland Park and 1 day for Disney Adventure World. In practice, with World of Frozen and all the new additions, 3 to 4 days are ideal for a family.

2026 Ticket Prices: How to Pay Less

This is the question everyone asks before booking. Tickets for Disneyland Paris have used dynamic pricing for several years—just like airline tickets. The longer you wait, the higher the prices go.

1-Day / 1-Park Dated Ticket: from €50 to €135 per adult (ages 12+), and €47 to €126 per child (ages 3 to 11). Children under 3 enter for free.

1-Day / 2-Parks Dated Ticket: from €75 to €160 per adult, and €72 to €151 per child. This ticket is the logical choice if you want to see both Disneyland Park AND Disney Adventure World.

Key tip to pay less: Book as early as possible, for mid-week visits outside of French school holidays. Tickets are available 18 months in advance.

Where to Stay: Disney Hotels, Partners, and Local Deals

Official Disney Hotels: There are six, all located within the resort and accessible on foot or via free shuttle from the parks. Their benefits are numerous: Extra Magic Time, free parking, included tickets, and total immersion in the Disney universe.

Entering France: Visas, EES, and ETIAS — What International Tourists Need to Know

Free Resort Shuttles: How to Get Around

Secrets and Fun Facts: What Official Guides Don't Tell You

The Symbolic Link Between the World's Three Frozen Lands: During its filling, water from the Frozen Ever After attractions at EPCOT (Orlando), Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea—and even from Norway—was poured into the Parisian attraction.

The Anti-Distraction Berms: As in all major Disney lands, World of Frozen is surrounded by a system of berms and buildings that cut off all visual contact with the outside of the park.
