US EditionDisneyland Paris Opens World of Frozen Featuring Interactive Olaf and New Ride
The Arendelle-themed area features a new boat ride, interactive Olaf with voice, and a live show, fulfilling fan expectations since work began in 2018.
- On Sunday, March 29, 2026, Walt Disney Studios Park officially became Disney Adventure World, with the "World of Frozen" opening as the centerpiece of a 2 billion euro expansion reshaping Europe's most-visited theme park.
- The transformation addresses long-standing criticism that the original 2002 park lacked immersive scale and suffered from sparse design. More than 90% of the second park has now been redesigned to meet guest expectations.
- Walt Disney Imagineering creative director Michel den Dulk led development of the "World of Frozen," featuring a 118-foot North Mountain crowned by Elsa's Ice Palace and a hyper-realistic Olaf animatronic developed through collaborative robotics research between Zurich and Glendale facilities.
- During a Friday visit, French President Emmanuel Macron called the resort "the leading tourist destination in Europe" and said the expansion will create 1,000 direct jobs, alongside 15 new dining locations and a new "Tangled" attraction.
- This investment represents one piece of a roughly $60 billion global expansion of Disney's parks and experiences business, which generated 57% of the company's segment operating income in fiscal 2025, underscoring the strategic importance of theme park growth.
