Huge Disneyland Paris, Studios & Village Construction Update | July '24

[@CharlieHepp]

We came back last Friday, spending 6 days at DLP. It was quite a sight with all the bordered-up areas and it’s exciting to see so much activity going on. One thing that I wish they had was more Star Wars merch for men. There was one spirit jersey but every shop had it in XXL only. I do think they need to expand the Star Wars area, even if it’s putting another ride like Rise of Resistance and possibly a cantina bar. All the transformation stuff around both parks and the village looking great but still im not sold on that. When you look at what other parks around the world are building, it lack on rides and things to actually do. But im still looking forward to seeing the finished work Always love your updates on the DLP Resort Excited for what we can hear at D23! this was a 90's park...and this needed to be done im so happy, can't wait to go back after 10 years Thanks for these construction updates. We're going next Spring and are anxiously waiting for it to be DONE. I’m hopeful they will finally announce the next expansion area during D23 for Disney Adventure World (DAW). I know all the rumours point to The Lion King area, but I really hope they continue with the original plan for a smaller Galaxy Edge. You can argue the point it would be great to have a unique IP (much-needed water flume ride) in Paris to draw attendance by having the Lion King area. That said I believe Star Wars is a bigger attraction to more people subjectively, given they continue to create new content. Then there’s the rumor of a Galaxy Edge area next to Star Tours. That could potentially work, but it’s a complicated plot of land to work with due to the DLP railway and road access. It just makes more sense to have it in DAW, than all the major franchises are represented in the park; Disney, PIXAR, Marvel, and Star Wars. Can't wait to see it myself in October when I'm going! Thanks for the great update They have spent around 0 euros in the last 20 years so this was needed clearly, the year to go is 2026 when the Studios and everything are done! I have a trip booked for mid-September which would be my boyfriend's first-ever Disney visit I'm getting worried and thinking of canceling because I feel like he won't get the full magical experience with these walls everywhere :( It looks like a construction site! The only good thing is lower crowds and prices I guess which is why we booked in the first place I watched your construction video (which is as always very well done, thanks for that), and after that a construction video of Epic Universe. I know it's not a fair comparison. But we are only getting ONE large attraction with Frozen and that isn't even unique for DLP. Of course, all the parks and place-making are important but it has been taking so long for just one major ride and a small merry-go-round. Definitely won't be visiting for the next five years or so. I'll be in Florida and other better European parks like Efteling or Europapark. I can’t wait for the little expansion coming to Toy Story Playland since it’s one of my favorite lands in all of DLP for nostalgic reasons The Main Street News· 2 replies @palmereldritch7777 Wow great - an M&M store.....? like really? the fast food of Wonka coming to Disneyland - The whole place looks worse than when they were building it. Davvero incredibili i progressi e grande video! Great video as always! It's great to see how much TLC all areas of the resort are getting. It's quite staggering how many walls are up right now; it feels like a bad time to be there currently Great that the parks are getting some much-needed TLC but had I known there was so much construction going on at Disneyland park as well as studios, I wouldn’t have booked tickets for the summer. This seems like really poor planning and consideration towards the current guest experience. Man, what do you feel the new land will be filled with? what theme? Star Wars? lion king? Got back yesterday, what an absolute mess! They should be discounting tickets Some of these refurbishments take far too long in Paris. They seem to only work a couple of hours a day. How does the frozen land in Paris compare in size to the other Disney parks? Is Space Mountain open in August 2024?) Pardon my ignorance, but those white buildings behind the frozen construction, what are they? They're gonna need more than one Frozen ride to fix this Paris mess..........nice lake/pond, .....with hardly anything around it .....? I just got back from DLP for the first time. I have to say I was unimpressed. Most of the rides are stale and outdated. I did not think Space Mountain was good at all. The launch is pretty lame and Flight Force was much better. Adventure Isle only has two rides, Pirates, which is just okay, and Indiana Jones, which I think is the worst ride I've ever been on, really unpleasant! Phantom Manor had quite a morbid plot and wasn't anywhere near as fun as the Disneyland original. The kid's dark rides of Snow White, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio looked dated on an uneven and bumpy track. Only Big Thunder Mountian was impressive. And don't get me started on Studios Parc. I will save my money for Epic Universe in the future.

No STAR WARS land what a missed opportunity

[@chrispybee]

One thing that I wish they had was more Star Wars merch for men. There was one spirit jersey but every shop had it in XXL only.

[@themainstreetnews]

Indeed, there are rumours about that happening too, but currently just that.

[@Pedders529]

We are going the first week in August and while alot of what is boarded up is for the younger generation, I am hopeful it doesnt sour our visit. looking forward to clarity of whats coming after Frozen is completed...

[@Pedders529]

Our last visit was just before Avengers Campus opened (literally a week or 2 before)..... so this will be new for us on this visit

[@chrispybee]

@@Pedders529 you’ll have a great time. The boarding up does take some of the views away but it’s exciting that something fresh is happening.

[@Pedders529]

@@chrispybee Good point sir, proper looking forward to it!

[@jonviga]

this was a 90's park...and this needed to be done im so happy, can't wait to go back after 10 years

[@kevinbhieey9188]

Thanks for these construction updates. We're going next Spring and are anxiously waiting for it to be DONE.

[@chrispybee]

I think the Frozen land and all that isn’t until 2026, but all the Disney village and Hollywood Studios should be complete.

[@daplucas86]

​@@chrispybee September 2025.

[@TheRyanLamont]

Always love your updates on the DLP Resort 👏✨ Excited for what we could hear at D23!

[@themainstreetnews]

Glad to hear! Me too 😄

[@eddieg6436]

The area near, and around the Frozen expansion has a problem with SIGHTLINES!! Hopefully these new berms, mountain range, and lots of TREES will help hide everything!! Excited to visit there in 2026, or 2027!!

[@mikedrums80]

Thanks for the great update 🙂👍🏼

[@themainstreetnews]

Thanks for watching!

[@jonviga]

clearly the year to go is 2026 when the Studios and everything is done!

[@Homebanner666]

All the transformation stuff arround both parks snd the village looking great but still im not sold on that. When you look what other parks arround the world building, it lacks on rides and things to actually do. But im still looking forward to see the finished work

[@themainstreetnews]

Fair enough!

[@queenofcamp832]

I agree, but also I feel paris has been so neglected that they're having to play catch-up now. If they started building a load of new stuff, people would be saying 'but the stuff we already have is crumbling!' so I do think it's fair to tidy up what's there first

[@cookydough]

Can't wait to see it myself in October when i'm going!

[@themainstreetnews]

Would love if the mountain range could be completed by then! Enjoy your time there :)

[@nicolasperazzi5123]

Davvero incredibili i progressi e grande video!

[@themainstreetnews]

Grazie!

[@GeneralVariety]

Great video as always! It's great to see how much TLC all areas of the resort are getting. It's quite staggering how many walls are up right now; it feels like a bad time to be there currently

[@themainstreetnews]

Thanks! Indeed, there's so much happening around the resort and they're only getting started. Currently, Disney is offering some huge discounts for the summer due to lower than expected crowds, so I'd say it's a great time to visit haha

[@brownsfamily24]

Even the parts not under construction are looking tatty. Much TLC required, painting and rubbish clearing.

[@cristinac734]

They have spend around 0 euros in the last 20 years so this was needed

[@jackdr20roblox29]

I can’t wait for the little expansion coming to Toy Story playland since it’s one of my favourite lands in all of DLP for nostalgic reasons

[@themainstreetnews]

I actually do agree! One of the main problems of TSPL is how small it is, that tiny bit will surely go a long way in helping with that! Would be lovely if they had one of the HKDL little merch kiosks!

[@jackdr20roblox29]

@@themainstreetnewsA little merch kiosk would be cool

[@jonviga]

man, what do you feel the new land will be filled with? what theme? Star Wars? lion king?

[@themainstreetnews]

The third land? Lion King

[@jonviga]

@@themainstreetnews for real man? I think so too but Im sad that Star Wars didn’t make it. If you ask me, knowing the european taste, Cars land would have been perfect, all the kids here still is their main movie to watch

[@themainstreetnews]

Cars Land would be lovely. I do think that an exclusive Lion King land could be exactly what the park needs!

[@jonviga]

@@themainstreetnews maybe you are right on that! would be exclusive! lets see what happens brother!

[@brownsfamily24]

Got back yesterday, what an absolute mess! They should be discounting tickets🤷‍♂️

[@kurtneumann8337]

Great that the parks are getting some much needed TLC but had I know there was so much construction going on at the Disneyland park as well as studios, I wouldn’t have booked tickets for the summer. This seems like really poor planning and consideration towards current guest experience.

[@TheMichellek91]

Indeed! We just came back today and the constructions are crazy. Def. not a good experience seeing everything boarded up…

[@jensenblair-pearson2699]

How does the frozen land in Paris compare in size to the other Disney parks?

[@willhuxtable3977]

Second smallest to Epcot I think 😂

[@themainstreetnews]

It's the same size of Hong Kong's without the roller coaster. Arendelle Village is wider and there's a big meet and greet location on the side of the castle, something not found in HK.

[@LeeleeSTAR]

Some of these refurbishments take far too long in Paris. They seem to only work a couple of hours a day.

[@Der_Bierbaron]

Really curious how expensive it will get next year, they will def increase ticket prices

[@themainstreetnews]

I don't think they increase will be all that noticeable, just because they've been upping the prices time after time already

[@queenofcamp832]

I thought this at first, but if the Frozen section doesn't open til 2026, then people may want to put off visiting in 2025 and wait until the following year. If this happens a lot then there may still be lower crowds like we're seeing now which has led to all these deals

[@hesys8245]

Is space mountain open in august 2024?)

[@themainstreetnews]

Space Mountain is open and has no scheduled closure for August

[@palmereldritch7777]

Wow great - an M&M store.....? like really ? the fast food of Wonka coming to Disneyland - The whole place looks wore then when they were building it.

[@Taydar]

Pardon my ignorance, but those white buildings behind the frozen construction, what are thet?

[@themainstreetnews]

That’s over the berm, it’s part of the Val d’Europe city.

[@Taydar]

@@themainstreetnews thank you for clarifying. I didn't realise it was that close.

[@themainstreetnews]

Of course! Indeed, that side of Val d'Europe has been developed not too long ago and it's quite close to the park, however there's still some distance between them. The lenses make it seem closer than it really is!

[@Taydar]

@@themainstreetnews I see. I hope it is disguised sufficiently by the berm.

[@antoninjamain7]

Concernant le bâtiment de Space mountain ils mettent bien un nouveau système d’éclairage et ils peignent les toitures et les murs ! Et ce chantier durera apparemment jusqu’à octobre 2025

[@themainstreetnews]

That’s great to hear! Excited to see how it all looks like when it’s finished, it has been nearing this for so long now… Would be lovely if the inside could get that retheme we’ve all been waiting for too…

[@antoninjamain7]

@@themainstreetnewsoui mais apparemment c’est pas pour maintenant 😢 mais pour l’ouverture d’un possible land star wars, mais apparemment il va bien y avoir une extension derrière Space mountain, quoi on suppose star wars mais on ne sait pas encore et donc a l’ouverture de star wars land le thème de Space mountain changerai donc c’est pas pour maintenant, mais après ce ne sont que supposition si ça ce trouve ce sera annoncé cet été 🎉

[@palmereldritch7777]

They're gonna need more than one Frozen ride to fix this Paris mess..........nice lake/pond, .....with hardly anything around it .....?

[@jakedlp_]

Do not speak ill of Phantom Manor again.

[@Uthyr_Pendragon]

Having visited the orlando parks for the first time this summer, DLP being my home park, I can see DLP be underwhelming in terms of ride number, but the quality of a lot of the rides is great for the time they were built. We got no rise of the resistance (yet), but for the old rides it's the best versions for a lot of them

[@t.h.382]

First try to write people away from Disneyland Paris in favor of Universal? Won't work! This doesn't read like a fair judgement, it's rather as negative as possible. Still, only an opinion, but the motivation seems to shine through! At least how I read it.

[@kalzium8857]

I can understand your reasoning that DLP is a bit underwhelming. From your comment, I think that you are from the USA or canada. I mean travelling to europe just for DLP has the same energy like traveling to the USA just to eat at their McDonalds. Europe has a wide selection on themeparks that may give you a better experience than Disney.

[@t.h.382]

Unsurprisingly, I totally disagree. Disneyland is by far the best in Europe! But no one is forced to visit, of course!
