It is the biggest tourism event of the year in France. On 29 March 2026, the second park at Disneyland Paris officially opened Disney Adventure World. After several years of construction and a landmark €2 billion investment, nearly 90% of the park has been reimagined from the ground up. New name, new themed lands, new shows, a new lake… Disneyland Paris has entered a new era. And from La Défense, getting there has never been easier.

Disney Adventure World: A Park Completely Reimagined

The former Walt Disney Studios Park, which opened in 2002, has undergone its most ambitious transformation since its creation. Disney Adventure World features an almost doubled surface area, a 3-hectare central lake called Adventure Bay, a new landscaped main avenue — Adventure Way — and several fully immersive worlds that plunge visitors into their favourite Disney, Pixar and Marvel stories. Europe’s number one tourist destination has given itself a new chapter worthy of the world’s greatest theme parks.

World Premiere: An Entrance Like a Hollywood Red Carpet

From the very first step inside, the tone is set. World Premiere transports visitors onto the red carpet of a Hollywood premiere, with immersive sets celebrating the history of Disney cinema. The Mickey’s of Hollywood Boutique, inspired by the grand American department stores of the 1920s, welcomes guests with a specially created golden Mickey statue at its heart.

The Frozen Kingdom: The Star Attraction of 2026

The centrepiece of Disney Adventure World is The Frozen Kingdom — a total immersion into the realm of Arendelle. The 36-metre-tall North Mountain, Elsa’s Ice Palace, the village square and Arendelle Bay together form a breath-taking landscape inspired by Scandinavian scenery. The flagship ride, Frozen Ever After, takes visitors on a frosty cruise through the film’s most iconic scenes. Elsa and Anna can be met in their royal home. And for food lovers, the Nordic Crowns Tavern restaurant serves Nordic specialities with a sweeping view over Adventure Bay.

Adventure Way & Adventure Bay: The Green Heart of the Park

Adventure Way is the park’s new central promenade: a landscaped avenue dotted with themed Disney gardens — Peter Pan, 101 Dalmatians, Toy Story, Winnie the Pooh — and the new Rapunzel’s Tangled Spin ride, a family carousel that whirls visitors through the famous lantern scene. The avenue leads to Adventure Bay, the 3-hectare central lake around which all the new lands of the park are organised.

Disney Cascade of Lights: A Spectacular Nightly Show

Every evening, Disney Cascade of Lights transforms Adventure Bay into a 360° show stage. 379 drones, 240 light sources, 32 synchronised fountains, four 18-metre water screens and pyrotechnic effects across 16 minutes: a breathtaking finale that is not to be missed at the end of the day.

Marvel Avengers Campus: Take both for more sensation !

Opened in 2022 and a true cornerstone of the Disney Adventure World renewal, Marvel Avengers Campus remains one of the most immersive and adrenaline-fuelled lands in the park. At the inauguration ceremony, it was Spider-Man himself — perched atop the Earffel Tower — who announced the park’s new name to the world. In this campus, you are not simply a visitor: you are recruited as a S.H.I.E.L.D. trainee. The highlights:

• Avengers Assemble: Flight Force: A high-speed roller coaster alongside Iron Man and Captain Marvel — one of the most intense thrills in Europe.

• Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure: An interactive ride where visitors shoot real webs alongside Spider-Man to capture runaway Spider-Bots.

• Heroic Encounters: Ant-Man, The Wasp, Black Widow, Thor… Super heroes roam the campus for surprise meet-and-greets throughout the day.

• Pym Kitchen: The campus’s themed restaurant where food is sometimes giant, sometimes miniaturised — thanks to Pym technology.

And there is more to come: by 2028–2029, the world’s first Lion King Land is set to open within the park, featuring a water attraction around a 37-metre Pride Rock and a 16-metre drop. A project well worth watching.

From La Défense to Disneyland Paris: 1 Hour by RER, Direct, No Car Needed

One of La Défense’s best-kept secrets is its direct, no-change connection to DisneylandParis via the RER A. In under an hour, from La Défense Grande Arche station,
the RER A drops you directly at Marne-la-Vallée — Chessy station, steps from the entrance to both parks. No car, no parking, no traffic jams: just the anticipation of the day ahead.

In practice:

• Departure: La Défense Grande Arche station — RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée

• Arrival: Marne-la-Vallée — Chessy station, at the entrance to both parks

• Journey time: Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the time of day

• Frequency: Trains every 10 to 15 minutes from park opening time

• Return: Last trains from Chessy run well after the evening shows finish

For international visitors: the RER A also connects Roissy-CDG Airport to Disneyland Paris via Châtelet, stopping atLa Défense along the way. And since May 2024, the new RER E links La Défense directly to Gare du Nord in minutes — perfect for Eurostar arrivals from London, Amsterdam or Brussels heading straight to the parks.

Paris + Disneyland: The Perfect Family Trip Combination

Combining a Paris city break with a day or two at Disneyland Paris is one of the most sought-after family holiday formulas in Europe — and from La Défense, it becomes effortless. One morning: the Champs-Élysées, the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower on Metro Line 1 from your residence. The next day: Disney Adventure World on the direct RER A from the same station. Two iconic destinations, zero logistics headache.

Staying in La Défense rather than inside the Disney resort dramatically reduces accommodation costs without sacrificing any comfort — and gives you the full Paris experience alongside the magic of Disney. It is the kind of trip that families and couples from across Europe plan for months, and that Fraser Suites Harmonie makes genuinely simple.
