Get ready to experience beloved Disney characters and stories like never before as Walt Disney Studios Park, the second park at Disneyland Paris, continues its transformation and expansion on a never-before-seen scale — starting with a brand-new name for the destination! The location will be renamed Disney Adventure World coinciding with when World of Frozen opens, bringing with it a new creative vision that will nearly double the park’s footprint and transform it into a world of adventure (and in Arendelle’s case, a world of snow). As Walt Disney Studios Park begins its reimagining to Disney Adventure World, soon you’ll be able to experience a brand-new park entrance sequence that welcomes you to the park’s promenade, Adventure Way, along with new experiences, attractions, and enhancements designed to transport you right into the heart of memorable Disney stories. Disney Experiences isn’t just turbocharging the park itself, though, as Disney Village will also be receiving enhanced offerings. And when it’s time to wind down at the end of the day, new updates are coming to the Disney Hotels, too. “Embracing a transformation that involves the overhaul of more than 90% of Walt Disney Studios Park since its debut in 2002, we’re unveiling a fresh creative vision that has completely redefined our second gate,” Natacha Rafalski, President of Disneyland Paris shared. “It’s set to offer unique adventures in immersive worlds, serving as a perfect complement to Disneyland Park.” And this is only the beginning as Disneyland Paris enters a brand-new era!

The second story of all the buildings in New Orleans is such a secret…who is up there, and what is going on? Most know about Club 33, but have you ever wondered what the area above Pirates of the Caribbean was used for? Initially, it was intended as a secondary residence for Walt Disney to entertain guests. Walt Disney passed away before the residence was completed, so the project was put on hold, and the space was underutilized for decades. It has since become an art gallery and later the Disneyland Dream Suite. 21 Royal then debuted in 2017. 21 Royal is decorated in the Empire style made popular in 19th-century New Orleans. It is a unique and highly-priced dining experience ($18,000, to be exact!). Unlike Club 33, however, you do not need a membership. The evening consists of a single group of up to 12 guests (the capacity of its dining room) for dinner on select nights per week. This means that there is no other reservation in the books besides yours that evening. It also provides valet service at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa for the entire day, and each diner receives a single-day park hopper ticket valid for the date of your dining reservation.

First, signature cocktails are served by professional butlers in the salon; then, everyone is invited out to the patio for a casual reception. Guests will also have
