Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

It would be much easier to pull off a thematic fit by not having them in the show building. And I assumed that’s what they’d do, more like what they’ve done in Animal Kingdom. For me it’s disappointing they’re going to be in the show building, because that 100% won’t fit the LK theme. To my mind the show building should be totally disguised and the shops and restaurants themed to fit the plains of Africa.

Not sure if this is true, but I believe I read somewhere that they have to stick to the original footprint — more in terms of rough size and height, not the exact layout — from when it was still planned as Star Wars. Those plans already went through public consultation and approvals, so changing it too much might mean needing to get additional approvals again.

Adding things like a shop or dining inside the same building would let them stay within that approved size, even if it’s not the best fit story-wise.

I completely agree that the question of what role humans play in the land is an important one. While having boats float by the restaurant might create a beautiful atmosphere, it wouldn’t necessarily fit the storyline. That just makes me even more curious about how the shops and dining facilities will be woven into the story of the new land overall.

If in Toy Story Land humans are supposed to be toys in the garden, I think we could be meant to be animals in the Lion King area. Maybe we're Rafiki's cousins.

Maybe we could be food.

Dung beetles?

I am very curious to know how this is all going to look and feel when it's finished. Not sure it really feels like any Disney theme park land I can think of.

Jungle Cruise- before they removed the misting arches.

World Premiere Plaza officially replacing Production Courtyard and Toon Studios as of May 2025 and World Premiere is on the map too

I hope to go to Paris Disneyland once all these new projects are finished. Don't want to go before because there just isn't enough of an appeal to me.

Went in April . Have already booked to return. Much better value for us Europeans than wdw. Imho.

I am going for my first trip in Oct, already planning my next trips there.

Even with all the work going on - DLP is a great resort that is finally getting the $$$ attention it deserves. It’s well worth a visit - even now

Big update with good quality pics!

I am very much liking how much attention they are putting into building berms and putting in mature trees to improve sight lines within and around the park. Such a change from when it first opened!

I continue to be saddened that there is a clone of Maelstrom going in that mountain. Imagine an indoor bobsled attraction...that would be cool!

 

[Sir_Cliff]

I can't help but think that this all looks so freshly painted and ready to go but is going to sit there exposed to the elements for at least another year before it all opens. Hopefully they have a good maintenance plan for the interim period, but I suspect they're going to have to go back and re-touch and clean things up before opening!

 

[jmuboy]

Yeah - that bright white snow (like Big Thunder) is going to need a pretty regular moss and mold reduction plan.

"Just a little bit of green left!"

Maybe if the mountain starts to get too mossy and mouldy they can just put up banners for the Arendelle Spring Festival and frame it as the snow melting?

Facing north east into the park it’ll certainly need regular TLC. Even if treated.
