Whatever they do and no matter how long it takes, whatever Paris ends up with will be better than what WDW has or will get.

Care to elaborate? I don't think DLP have ever referenced a 10 year plan?

@DonniePeverley , are you referring to this?
www.dlpguide.com
Even keeping in mind this was before Disney took over control of DLP, the Marvel plans plus Hotel New York and Disneyland Hotel plans are already done (barring the actual opening of the DL hotel which is next month).
Marvel attractions confirmed in 10 year Disneyland Paris investment plan
Disneyland Paris is looking to invest €2.1 billion in new and upgraded facilities across the resort over the next ten years — including Marvel attractions at Walt Disney Studios Park, a Shareholders Meeting document confirms. Setting out anticipated capital expenditures for the next ten years...

If so, then it’s continuing. That was 6 years ago, the Studios expansion is ongoing and in that time they completed the rebuilding of Phantom Manor, Big Thundermountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Orbitron, Autopia, the castle and it’s a small world plus the retheme of Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and added 3 new theatre shows. Now it looks like (H)SM is next. And then after that….

Not much of a plan.
It's like me saying i'm going to have a transformative 10 year plan to redo my home. And end up just putting up some new towel racks. Crushing disappointment.

Surprised you're not more upbeat about it.

Well then why did you ask what happened to it?
Despite the change in DLP ownership the main points, at least as reported in that article, have been realised.

We are getting significantly more than what was covered in that article so I don't get your disappointment.

Let's just hope that Universal Studios UK makes Disney more willing to spend some money at DLP. It's not okay for the resort that DLP hasn't received a new ride for so long. Just build Indiana Jones in the space reserved for it (also, build it at MK's Adventureland). Plus, they can't have Frozen Ever After, which is a mediocre attraction at best, to be the only reason for people to walk the entire lagoon.

What about new lands like Galaxy Edge, Pandora - nothing major like this?

You asked about the "10-year plan", and they have delivered on everything within that plan as far as I can see (and in fairness to Disney/DLP there isn't much point in spending money on new things, when so much of what was already there needed fixing).
Now hopefully, the next plan can concentrate that capex investment on new experiences (especially with Universal GB potentially coming)

Ummmm, that’s the expansion around the lake at the Studios.
Avengers Campus was step 1.
Frozen and Tangled lands are definites.
Star Wars is apparently shelved, although it’s still on the construction walls. Rumours it’s been replaced with Lion King. And Pandora has been hinted at.
Forgot that one ! Plus the overhauls of the dark rides. Plus repaving seemingly everywhere. New security plaza. Fantasyland roofs. New Village.
In planning. Now TWDC is the whole owner it’s up to them what new build happens next. For better or for worse.
As you can see the last 6-7 years has seen unprecedented work. To answer your question.

@marni1971 , you forgot all the replanting and gardening / landscaping they did during the Covid hiatus. I remember your comments about that when you went back.

It's going to take time but the work at DLP will make such a huge difference. Im looking forward to the new Disney Village. Im even excited for frozen as a land. I just wish they were more ambitious with the Ride additions. Marvel E-Ticket MUST happen and I guess whatever replaces Galaxy's Edge.

It's a Tangled spinner, not a land

Good point. I’m thinking of it kinda like a WS pavilion.
I’m sure it’ll have a store and maybe a snack kiosk. Plus a tall tower - where I assume there will be a meet & greet.
