Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[Animaniac93-98]

Lots of focus on installing new lighting





I do wish the pergolas were art deco not art nouveau since they're so close to ToT and the former Hollywood blvd

Updates on Lion King and new view of test site

Pretty details aside, I’m a bit disappointed that I last visited DLP in 2022 and when I visit next year, the only new things will be Rapunzel teacups and another FEA. Doubt we will ever return so that’s that.

+ the new night time show on the lake

Some people have wanted a third gate a DLP, but I'm pretty sure a lake with art nouveau or Victorian flourishes and single IP lands around it, is essentially what it would be with this era of the company anyway...

Maybe a personal opinion but I’ve still kinda yet to see much that would really make me want to visit WDS over Parc Disneyland

Parc Disneyland is so overbuilt that even after 30 years of no expansion it’s still in the discussion for best magic kingdom and has a storybook charm missing from all but arguably Disneyland

WDS was so bad at launch that literally anything is an improvement but maybe it’s just me but I still feel like they are missing the “why would you go to this over Disneyland” with these expansion plans

As its a resort, people don't usually choose to go to one or the other unless visiting for 1 day (when the obvious choice no matter at California, Florida or Paris is the castle park). It's more why should I visit this park on a second day, and that would be ToT, Crush's, Ratatouille, Avengers Campus, pretty much all of the park's shows (Alice and Stitch are the two non must-dos) and soon Frozen and Lion King. As a whole the park has a pot of good offerings, they're just not surrounded by the exploratory settings of the main park

For all its many flaws, the Studios Park does have a solid entertainment line up that includes several exclusive shows

And next year we're getting a new one in the Disney Dream Factory space, plus the night time show, plus whatever else they might have at Animation Celebration or if there's new street entertainment elsewhere in the park.
