Disneyland Paris Mega Construction Update | Jan ‘25

[@wishuponastar1923]

Disneyland Paris really needed this. It might be a mess right now, but I am sure that Disney Village, Disney Adventure World and all the work at the Disneyland Park will result in the biggest re-wamp ever for DLP! And I am so excited!

I went to Disneyland Paris for the first time last year and I'm glad I caught a glimpse of the "old" parks! Now I'm excited to see how it will all look refurbished and expanded. :)

[@themainstreetnews]

Hope you had a great time!

[@mkbest]

@@themainstreetnews Of course I did. 😁 I definitely want to go back more than once!

[@maximegotz4166]

Hi Bernardo, as always I am completely captivated by your voice and the images I see on my screen. You just relate the news incredibly well, in a very professional and thorough way. I'm so glad to discover things are getting done. Seeing the Woody and Jessie statues makes me feel like it's for real soon even if there is more than a year of works remaining, at least. But anyway, I am pleased to notice new theming a bit at a time. So thanks a lot for this video!😊 And Happy New Year by the way! Have a good evening! ❤

[@themainstreetnews]

Thank you very much Maxime! It was a great surprise to see Woody and Jessie being installed when I was there! Happy new year to you too!

[@_nickers0n]

This is a really great round up of all the work going on - great video! Once it's all done, DLRP will definitely be a far better place for it. Really great stuff.

[@themainstreetnews]

Thank you!

[@DisneylandParisLover]

I’m glad Woody and Jessie are finally being added into TSP!

[@jamesl1130]

The amount of work going on in Paris reminds me of the late 90s in Anaheim. This is all very exciting

[@bastianspruyt4175]

Great video again Bernardo. Thanks for the updates. Still can't believe we have to wait another year to step foot in Adventure World.

[@themainstreetnews]

Thank you! Indeed, the news were slightly disappointing however saying it officially opens next year felt just so right!

[@eddieg6436]

Excellent coverage!! Excellent update!! I’m already planning a trip for 2030!!

Many thanks! Only 5 years to go haha

[@GPXBrent]

I was blown away by the scale of Frozen when I visited 2 weeks ago. Didn't expect to be able to see the top of North Mountain from the security gates, it looks massive! Great video as always

[@themainstreetnews]

Exactly! Amazing that you can see the top from outside the park. The photos and videos are great to keep track of everything but when you seat down on the parachute and actually see it for yourself, everything looks absolutely huge!

[@RaymanSSB]

How could you see it from so far away? It must be really impressive

[@themainstreetnews]

@@RaymanSSB right after leaving the security bag checks, you can see the top of the mountain between Tower of Terror and Fantasia’s Mickey hat!

[@RaymanSSB]

@GPXBrent oh I didn't know that but I went there this summer in August the peak of the mountain wasn't there yet, I plan to come in 2026 I hope so if the prices are not very high lmao

Hello, im going to disney paris in 2 weeks. with all the construction happening is there still enough to do in the studios park for a hole day?

[@scataplaft]

Amazing video!!! I'm rrally happy with everything that's going on in Disneyland Paris. I wish they bring Zootopia Land to Adventure World one day too! It would be amazing!!!

Thank for this, I'm going at the end of January. At least I know it's mainly all under construction 😂

You’ll have a blast either way! While there’s tons of walls around the parks, most stuff is actually open! Enjoy 😊

[@Only1Milhouse]

Top effort as always, thank you I can’t imagine the amount of time it takes. We went last year, and the construction was vast. Having not been in 8 years! Now we want to try and try Xmas for the first time this year at DLRP 😊

Video fantastico!❤

[@samv5876]

Appreciate the vids man we had booked to go back this year in feb but we went last year so makes sense to hold fire until 2026. cant wait :)

[@themainstreetnews]

Definitely hold back for a time to enjoy the parks in the best they’ve been next year!

[@TobiasBroad]

From the construction photos Arendelle is really looking like a one to one recreation on the Hong Kong version.

[@themainstreetnews]

There’s several differences, Paris’ Arendelle Village has a larger footprint and more buildings + a M&G location behind the castle that’ll make it feel as if you’re inside it while meeting characters. The mountain range is also larger and more themed from several angles, to work with the different layout of the park. However, it’s pretty much the same thing adapted to the park (or is HK’s adapted to their park?).

[@oldfrostig]

Great video. Unfortunately while I’m sure it will look great when it’s all done, I’m going there at the end of this month and it looks like my trip will be about as magical as spending a few days on a building site 😂. Oh well.

[@themainstreetnews]

haha, you'll have a blast. Sure, the parks have a wide selection of walls but most attractions and shows are open as usual!

[@LincolnshireRailMonkey]

Don’t worry too much, we were there between Christmas and New Year, Studios Park I’d argue is worse but it’s one section of the Park that looks bad. Same for Disneyland Park, only two sections where works are going on but they truly didn’t impact our holiday. You guys will have a great time I’m sure of it

[@cesarbeltran9967]

Your videos help me decide to wait on my first trip to DLP until late 2026 !

[@themainstreetnews]

If you're going for the first time, then yes, I would say going on the second half of 2026 would be the best choice! You'll have all of Studios (or should I say Disney Adventure World) open, a good part of Village done and others!

[@cesarbeltran9967]

@themainstreetnews thank you yes that is what I was thinking. I was very tempted by the Marvel hotel since I'm a huge Marvel fan, but I'll take your advice :)

[@themainstreetnews]

@@cesarbeltran9967 you’d have a good time either way but in 2026 the resort will feel a lot more well rounded, comfortable and with more stuff to do! The Marvel hotel is awesome, especially for us fans!

the new planters on world premiere really do spruce up the areas so well! i was skeptical that they could really salvage the area but i'm in awe of the results so far

Fantastic video, thank you for the update

[@themainstreetnews]

Thank you!

[@chrispybee]

Thank you for this update. On the plus side, it’s fantastic that Disneyland is getting a lot of updates but feel for anyone going this year with all those construction boards up. We went last June and it felt claustrophobic at times, especially in Hollywood Studios. We are giving it a miss this year and doing WDW in early May, so that we can go to Paris in 2026 when all the construction is complete. Aiming for to go in early June, hopefully frozen land will be open by then 🤞🏻

[@themainstreetnews]

Thanks for watching! Indeed, it can get a bit claustrophobic at Walt Disney Studios will all the walls and a few of the pathways closed, funnelling more people to the already tighter parts of the park. Summer should be a great time to visit the resort! Enjoy WDW until then 😁

[@ixmntr]

I'm going to need to book in 26' just to see everything done. Great vid.

[@themainstreetnews]

Make sure to book for Late Spring/ Summer to make sure everything is actually open 😉

[@Chloe-ix2ci]

​@@themainstreetnewsI'm looking to book for november 2026 do you think it would be done by then?

[@themainstreetnews]

Adventure World (the now Walt Disney Studios Park) expansion with Frozen, Adventure Way and Bay, World Premiere and all the other works currently happening (with the exception of Lion King which hasn't actually started its works) will open in the first half of 2026, although this isn't confirmed by Disney. So to answer your question, yes, in November a good part of the works seen in this video will be complete including Disney Adventure World.

[@Chloe-ix2ci]

@@themainstreetnews thank you very much. Very helpful

[@themainstreetnews]

No worries!

[@SennaW5]

I really love your video's!

[@themainstreetnews]

Thank you so much!

[@ChrisWDW71]

I think there’s a small chance this soft opens at the end of the year. The Toy Story path has already had a budget cut with no meet n greet area to the left of the main path. After Lion King expansion my prediction would be they demolish Route 66 and build another new exclusive land to Paris. However I also think they need to demolish the stunt show area asap! It’s going to be a massive eye sore if they don’t.

[@themainstreetnews]

If we look at the models showcased at D23, Toy Story does not have the M&G location, it appears they used (yet another, looking at you lion king) outdated concept art. When it comes to the Arena, with LK done it should be hidden from all around the lake + with the help of a berm and trees from the rest of the expansion site.

[@kalzium8857]

I think it is a good thing that Disney has woken up and makes investments towards its parisian resort. While you often hear that europe is in economic trouble, the themepark industry is still in a good spot. Unless you are living on a rainy island above the channel. While the first park seems to be in a good spot despite the lack of investments. Or if you have a negative opinion towards Bob Igers management involving its themeparks, then you are probably quite happy that he ignores DLP. The second park needs investment. While the attendence is still amazing for an european themepark, the actual quality of the park is left to be desired. If you see a ranking video of the best european themeparks, you see this park rarely at the top. Therefore this park doesn't need rides that reinvent the wheel, just solid additions that closes the gap between the two parks. Frozen may be a cloned ride from HK, but I don't think there is much overlap between the target audience between these two parks. Also let it go in french? Why not. Also the lion king isa log flume. A simple straightforward idea. Log flumes are a proven ride concept and the lion king is not difficult to adapt to a log flume ride. You have the stampede and the final confrontation as drops and the rest shouldn't be so difficult. Disney should avoid wasting the budget in these advanced animatronics found in american parks instead investing in the atmosphere. Then we have a winner.

[@andrewjambo1]

Excellent update, can't wait for 2026

[@themainstreetnews]

Me neither! Exciting times ahead!

[@HansAndreasR1]

i would love to see the Discoveryland Buzz Lightyear attraction in Disney Advent together with the other Toy Story/Pixar teamed stuff, and put the Aladdin attraction in Disney Land (though i would prefer it is re-imagined in a less cheap way) ow and bring back the original Space Mountain and us the old "Pizza Planet" plot as a mini Star Wars Land (and put the Star Tours entrance there too!)

Would you recommend going this year with the work going on, or just wait a year or two? Thanks

[@themainstreetnews]

Hey! So, you’d have a good time either way but if you want a much well rounded experience I’d say wait a year. Look at Spring or Summer 2026 as the works on Studios will be done and so will a lot over on Village!

[@benchristopherhird]

When are the studios works all set to be completed?

[@themainstreetnews]

It’ll be by phases. This spring, the works on World Premiere and World Premiere Plaza will be done. Next year, during the first half (most likely Spring), Adventure Way, the lake and Frozen will all open alongside with the lake show (as far as we know). Lion King will take several years and only be done in 2028/9.

[@ptm8375]

What people dont realise: prices will go up further after this.

[@themainstreetnews]

Prices go up either way. Compare the prices to visit the parks in 2012 vs 2019, in that time the only new attraction was Ratatouille in 2014 yet the prices are a heck of a lot higher. I prefer to have raised prices and new stuff than raised prices and nothing new!

[@ChienaAvtzon]

@@themainstreetnews - The lack of investment into Disneyland Paris, until recently, is why many Americans used to feel it was the most overpriced Disney resort.

I’ll be visiting in February for the first time in ~30 years and I do wonder why they’ve decided to do all this at once rather than slowly over time

[@themainstreetnews]

It’s been a long time with little to nothing being done, it had to be like this! There’s still much that needs to happen too but the past 5-8 years have seen many works!

[@azury1525]

im going to disney paris in 2 weeks. with all the construction happening is there still enough to do in the studios park for a hole day?

[@themainstreetnews]

​​⁠hey there! While there’s a lot of construction going on, every ride is open in Walt Disney Studios. Mickey and the Magician is on break but Together: a Pixar Musical Adventure is playing! Now, is there enough for a full day? Maybe not, maybe only for 3/4s of a day so I’d recommend getting a 2 park ticket and hop to Disneyland park when you’re done!

[@gwenk2062]

Sounds like they should have just closed it for a few months and just get it all blasted out and open it in the summer for people to enjoy all of it

[@blueterburg9196]

Thanks for the video! Seeing your experience im really eager to know if Disney Land Paris is worth a visit now, with all the construction that is being done. Can anybody tell me if this is a good time to visit with my family? Want to surprise my son with a trip to Disney! But don't want it to be 'half' of an experience because so much is under construction.

[@themainstreetnews]

A trip to Disney is always an incredible time, however I completely understand your question. Currently, there's a lot of construction happening but nearly every attraction is open and so are most shows, in both the parks. The construction mainly takes away from the atmosphere of the parks, especially Studios, but doesn't affect the rides themselves. Now, if we're talking about a trip that won't be happen again for a long time, I would say waiting for Summer 2026 would be your best option because by then Studios will have gotten its major expansion with all you saw in the video. Construction will still be happening, in Village for example, but it'll be a much better overall experience! If you still want to visit this year, I'd recommend doing so in the second half of the summer as a part of construction in Studios will be done (none of the expansion side, just World Premiere and World Premiere Plaza as seen in the video) and the Disney Music Festival Season will be happening in the Disneyland Park!

[@blueterburg9196]

@@themainstreetnews many thanks for your quick response and your advice! Mainly interested in Disneyland Park and after seeing some other videos from recent visits as well i think, even with the construction going on, we're going to have a magical visit next month. Keep up the good work!

[@hannesk.5967]

I want to visit Disneyland Paris this year. When is the best time to visit that there isn’t so much construction happening? Probably end Summer or autumn?

[@themainstreetnews]

If you really want to visit this year, the best time to do so will be August/ September. By then, the Big Thunder Mountain refurbishment should be done (Disney said it'll be until the summer), the Walt Disney Studios entrance with World Premiere and World Premiere Plaza will be complete and so should be some of the works on Disney Village, however others would've started. The reason why summer is better than autumn is the Disney Music Festival season that is shaping up to be an awesome one in the Disneyland Park! Make sure to watch my What's new for 2025 video to learn more!

[@fabiendalmasso]

Last time I went to Disney was in 2021, back when we still wear masks and the park wasn't at full capacity. I'm reaaly curious to see how the park will look after all this work. My first daughter was 5 when we went there, my second one is now 5 on her own. But I think we'll wait for the opening of the Frozen land (obviously) and then we'll let the crowd time to decrease before we go back.

[@leewhite82]

Despite the huge expansion, Adventure World will only have one indoor family ride, Frozen Ever After, which most likely will be a clone of HKDL (I hope I'm wrong) and a flat ride that will be the same as Mad Hatters Tea party. That doesn't make me want to book a flight to go there. Maybe, if they did a a really good show like Illuminations or Harmonious at night, I would go - that lake is too good of an opportunity not to try.

[@themainstreetnews]

Adventure World, the park, will still have WEB Adventure, Crush’s Coaster and Ratatouille as indoor family rides! It’s not the greatest park lineup but the park will have a very nice array of attractions! When it comes to the lake, yes! Disney has already announced a nightly lake show that will count with great tech such as drones, water drones, fountains, lights and much more!

Tokyo Disney has exclusivity over their rides since the resort isn’t owned by Disney and the R&D is paid for by the Oriental Land Company. While some parts of rides can be reused, the rides themselves cannot…

[@ItsameBS]

[@BlackMambaFan124]

they really need to stop building the same thing in the parks, Hong Kong, tokyo, Paris and Epcot all with the same basic frozen ride... I wanna see different rides when I visit the disney parks

[@themainstreetnews]

It looks like Disney is now moving away from replicating lands and rides in several resorts. Honestly, it’s not much of a huge deal for me as the % of visitors that will have gone or will ever go to Hong Kong Disney is minuscule, but yes, original and unique expansions are needed, that’s why I love the Lion King plans!

[@ChienaAvtzon]

@@themainstreetnews - The replicating seems to be something from the Chapek era. The original concept art for the Disney Adventure World expansion, compared to the current version which is being built, is completely different. I suspect had Avengers Campus and Arendelle would have been scrapped, had the R&D not already been completed. “Rapunzel’s Lantern Spin” was originally supposed to be a replica of the “Aliens Spinning Saucers” from Hollywood Studios, and the “Regal View” restaurant was originally “Tiana’s Palace” from Disneyland. All that stuff seemed to change when Iger rehired Bruce Vaughn to head WDI.

It’s all so… tacky and out of place. Disney used to be amazing because of the enormous amount of time and energy put into things like sight lines and storytelling. Now it’s IP on top of IP because they think consumers are too stupid to enjoy something that is not IP driven.

[@DisneylandParisLover]

Well it is called DISNEYland which will include DISNEY movies in the parks

[@87cling]

@ Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Haunted Mansion, Pirates are all original rides and hugely popular and impressive. Actually the only land with a lot of IP was Fantasyland, where it absolutely makes sense.

[@DisneylandParisLover]

@@87clingI’m not against non IPs because if the imagineers run out of ideas and can’t add an IP into a certain land because it doesn’t make sense then that’s fine but when there is an opportunity to add an IP that fits the land such as fantasyland like you said then take it
