What is Disney Adventure World?
Disney Adventure World is the brand new second park at Disneyland Paris, officially opened on 29 March 2026. Previously known as Walt Disney Studios Park, it has undergone a spectacular multi-year transformation and reopened under its exciting new name with expanded themed lands, breathtaking new attractions and a completely reimagined guest experience. Disney Adventure World joins Disneyland Park to make Disneyland Paris a true two-park destination — one of the most exciting developments in European theme park history in decades.
Located side by side with Disneyland Park at Chessy, Marne-la-Vallée, the resort is now one of Europe's premier family destinations. Whether you're travelling from the UK, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany or Portugal, getting to Disney Adventure World has never been easier — and with MickeyCabs private transfers from all three Paris airports (CDG, Orly and Beauvais), your family can arrive directly at your hotel entrance in comfort.
What's New at Disney Adventure World in 2026?
The transformation of Disney Adventure World represents the most ambitious expansion in Disneyland Paris history. Years of construction and investment have produced a park that feels entirely fresh while retaining beloved existing attractions. Key new additions and lands include:
- World of Frozen — The headline new land of 2026 and arguably the most anticipated Disney attraction ever built in Europe. A fully immersive Frozen-themed world brings Arendelle to life with stunning architecture, original theming, new dining experiences and the centrepiece attraction Frozen: A Musical Invitation. Expect this to be the most popular area of the park throughout 2026.
- Avengers Campus — Marvel's superhero headquarters has transformed Disney Adventure World into a must-visit for Marvel fans. Featuring Spider-Man WEB Adventure (one of the most technologically advanced Disney attractions ever built), character encounters with Avengers heroes, and the outstanding Pym Kitchen restaurant, Avengers Campus delivers an experience unlike anything else in European theme parks.
- Cars Route 66 — The world of Pixar's Cars comes to life in a Route 66-inspired land. Lightning McQueen, Mater and the gang are all here, with the Racing Academy attraction and immersive theming that delights children and adults alike.
- Toy Story Playland — Expanded and reimagined, Toy Story Playland now offers more for young families including Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, RC Racer and Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop — a full afternoon of family rides in a single land.
- La Place de Rémy — The charming Parisian district built around the iconic Ratatouille: The Adventure ride. Miniaturised to mouse-size, guests race through Gusteau's restaurant in one of Europe's most beloved and unique theme park attractions.
Disney Adventure World vs Disneyland Park — What's the Difference?
Disneyland Paris now operates two wonderfully distinct parks at Chessy, Marne-la-Vallée. Understanding the difference helps families plan their visit effectively:
| Feature | Disneyland Park | Disney Adventure World |
|---|---|---|
| Theme | Classic Disney magic, fairy tales, fantasy | Adventure, Marvel, Pixar, Frozen |
| Best for | Young children, Disney classics fans | Families, teenagers, Marvel fans |
| Icon | Sleeping Beauty Castle | Avengers Campus, Frozen World |
| Must-do | It's a Small World, Peter Pan, Big Thunder | Frozen land, Spider-Man WEB, Ratatouille |
| Opened | 1992 | Renamed & transformed 2026 |
The two parks complement each other perfectly. Most families with children of mixed ages find that Disneyland Park is the favourite of younger children (under 6), while Disney Adventure World appeals strongly to older children, teenagers and adults — particularly Marvel fans and Frozen enthusiasts.
How Long Do You Need at Disney Adventure World?
With the 2026 expansion, Disney Adventure World alone now warrants a full dedicated day — and many families find they want more. The new Frozen World alone can absorb 2-3 hours during peak periods. Our recommendations by trip length:
- 1 day visit: Focus on Disney Adventure World OR Disneyland Park — not both. Arrive at opening, use Premier Access for Frozen and Spider-Man, take a lunch break and you'll cover the highlights.
- 2 day visit: One day per park. Ideal for families wanting to experience both parks without rushing.
- 3 day visit: The recommended duration for families with young children. Time to revisit favourite attractions, explore restaurants, catch shows and enjoy the resort at a relaxed pace.
Best Attractions at Disney Adventure World for Families
- Frozen: A Musical Invitation — The showpiece of 2026. An immersive walkthrough musical experience with Anna and Elsa in the heart of Arendelle. Expect long queues — visit first thing or use Premier Access.
- Ratatouille: The Adventure — The park's signature ride and consistently rated one of Europe's best theme park attractions. Suitable for all ages. Miniaturised guests race through Gusteau's restaurant in trackless ride vehicles with stunning visual effects.
- Spider-Man WEB Adventure — The technological jewel of Avengers Campus. An interactive ride where guests shoot webs at targets while surrounded by immersive visual effects. One of Disney's most impressive recent additions anywhere in the world.
- Cars Quatre Roues Rallye — The beloved spinning car rally in Cars land — perfect for younger children and Cars fans of every age.
- RC Racer — The thrilling half-pipe racing car in Toy Story Playland. A favourite of older children and teenagers for the adrenaline rush.
- Crush's Coaster — The park's most exciting roller coaster, themed around Finding Nemo. Spinning cars, ocean tunnel and unexpected drops make this a consistent favourite for families with older children.

Tips for Visiting Disney Adventure World in 2026

- Book Pym Kitchen in advance. The Avengers-themed restaurant is one of the most unique dining experiences in European theme parks. Tables book up weeks in advance during school holidays.
- Stay on-site for Early Entry benefits. Disney on-site hotel guests access both parks 30-60 minutes before general opening — transformative for Frozen World without the crowds.
- Visit in low season if possible. Disney Adventure World is significantly less crowded in late January, February (outside French school holidays) and early November.
- Book your airport transfer in advance. Arriving at CDG, Orly or Beauvais with excited children and luggage is significantly smoother with a MickeyCabs driver waiting in arrivals. Child seats are always free.

Practical Guide to Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris
What Changed: From Walt Disney Studios Park to Disney Adventure World
Disney Adventure World — the new name and expanded identity of what was previously known as Walt Disney Studios Park — represents the largest investment in Disneyland Paris since the resort opened in 1992. The transformation includes entirely new themed lands, major new attractions and a completely reimagined guest experience. The park's new identity as "Disney Adventure World" reflects the broader adventure and storytelling themes that anchor its new lands: Avengers Campus (opened 2022), Cars Road Trip and the forthcoming additions including new Marvel and other franchise-themed areas.
The park is now significantly more competitive with Disneyland Park's offering — closing the quality gap that had historically made visitors prioritise Disneyland Park over Walt Disney Studios. For families planning a two-park visit, Disney Adventure World now justifies a full day of exploration rather than the half-day visit that the previous version of the park warranted for many guests.
Key Attractions at Disney Adventure World
The signature attractions of Disney Adventure World in 2025 include:
- Avengers Campus: The park's most significant new addition, featuring Spider-Man World's Edge (a high-tech web-slinging interactive experience), WEB Adventure, the Avengers Assemble: Flight Force roller coaster, and character meet-and-greets with Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain Marvel and Black Widow.
- Cars Road Trip: A family-friendly dark ride through the world of Pixar Cars, featuring Lightning McQueen, Mater and the Radiator Springs cast. Perfect for Cars fans who are also staying at Disney's Hotel Santa Fe.
- The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: Disney Adventure World's most thrilling attraction — a free-fall drop tower set in a haunted hotel. Height restriction applies (1.02m), making it unsuitable for young children but a must-do for older ones.
- Ratatouille: The Adventure: A family dark ride that shrinks guests to mouse size for an adventure through Gusteau's restaurant with Rémy. One of the park's most popular attractions and appropriate for all ages.
- Crush's Coaster: A spinning coaster based on Finding Nemo, suitable for older children and adults. Height restriction applies (1.07m).
Planning Your Disney Adventure World Visit
Disney Adventure World is typically less crowded than Disneyland Park, particularly on days when the latter is at peak capacity. Guests with multi-day park tickets who have exhausted Disneyland Park on their first day often find Disney Adventure World significantly more manageable on the second day. The park's smaller size means the walk between attractions is shorter, and the concentration of franchise-themed areas makes it particularly satisfying for guests who are devoted fans of specific Marvel, Pixar or Disney characters.
Queue times at Disney Adventure World peak for Spider-Man World's Edge, Ratatouille: The Adventure and Tower of Terror. Using the Disney Premiere Access (paid skip-the-line) system for one or two of these attractions on a busy day is a worthwhile investment for families with limited time. Standard single-day tickets include access to both Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World, making it possible to split time between the two parks on the same day.
Airport Transfer for Disney Adventure World Guests
Whether guests are primarily visiting Disney Adventure World, Disneyland Park or both, the airport transfer to and from the resort is the same service: MickeyCabs private transfer from CDG (from €80), Orly (from €95) or Beauvais (from €160). The driver meets arriving guests at the airport with a name board and transfers directly to the chosen hotel within the Disneyland Paris resort complex. Disney Adventure World is located directly adjacent to Disneyland Park — the two parks share the same resort area and the hotel and transfer experience is identical regardless of which park guests are prioritising.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Disney Adventure World worth visiting if I've already been to Disneyland Park?
Yes — particularly after the Avengers Campus addition and the continued expansion programme. The new Marvel-themed areas are genuinely impressive and offer a substantially different experience from Disneyland Park's primarily classic Disney content. Two-park guests consistently report that Disney Adventure World now merits a full day rather than a half-day visit.
What is the minimum height for Avengers Assemble: Flight Force?
The Avengers Assemble: Flight Force roller coaster has a minimum height requirement of 1.20m. This excludes most young children but is appropriate for older primary school age and above. Spider-Man World's Edge does not have a height restriction and is accessible to guests of all ages.
How do I get from my Disney hotel to Disney Adventure World?
Disney Adventure World is within the same resort complex as Disneyland Park. The park entrance is a short walk from Disney Village (5-10 minutes from the nearest resort hotels) and accessible via the Disney resort shuttle from all on-site hotels.
Disney Adventure World: Seasonal Events and Special Programmes
Halloween at Disney Adventure World
Disneyland Paris runs its Disney Halloween Festival from late September through early November, transforming both parks with Halloween theming. Disney Adventure World during the Halloween festival features Avengers Campus in "Halloween mode" with special Marvel villain characters, themed entertainment and decorations that complement the superhero aesthetic with darker, Halloween-specific imagery. The combination of Marvel's naturally dramatic visual language and Halloween theming creates an unusually effective seasonal experience in the Avengers Campus area.
The Halloween festival is one of the most popular seasonal events at Disneyland Paris, attracting visitors specifically for the additional content. Families visiting during Halloween season should book accommodation and transfers well in advance — October school holidays coincide with the festival's peak and accommodation in the resort area fills quickly.
Christmas at Disney Adventure World
The Disney Enchanted Christmas season (mid-November to early January) extends into Disney Adventure World with themed decorations and seasonal programming. The contrast between Avengers Campus's modern superhero aesthetic and traditional Christmas decorations creates an unusual but genuinely festive atmosphere. The Christmas season at Disneyland Paris is consistently cited by repeat visitors as the best time to visit — shorter queues than summer, extraordinary decorations throughout both parks and the cosy, celebratory atmosphere of the festive period.
Airport Transfer for Seasonal Visits
Seasonal visits — Halloween, Christmas, Easter — attract peak demand for airport transfers to and from Disneyland Paris. MickeyCabs experiences significantly higher booking volumes during French and UK school holidays, including the October half-term (Halloween festival) and the two weeks around Christmas. Booking the airport transfer at the same time as flights and accommodation — several months in advance for peak periods — is strongly recommended to secure availability and the standard fixed price.
For Christmas visits in particular, early-morning arrival transfers and late-evening departure transfers are common, as families try to maximise park time during a holiday with limited days. MickeyCabs operates 24/7 and accepts transfers at any hour, but the drivers' availability during peak school holiday periods is limited — first-come, first-served booking gives the best chance of preferred time slots.
Disney Adventure World for Repeat Visitors
For families who have visited Disneyland Paris previously and are returning after the major Disney Adventure World expansion programme, the changes since the previous visit may be significant. The Avengers Campus transformation was the most substantial addition to Disneyland Paris in decades. Families returning after an absence of three or more years will find a substantially different park — with new attractions, redesigned areas and an expanded offering that may warrant revising their usual park day allocation to give Disney Adventure World more time than on previous visits.
The combination of Disney Adventure World with the ongoing expansion programme — with further Marvel, Avatar and other franchise-themed additions announced or in development — means the park's trajectory is one of continued growth. Families who visit frequently will find the park's content evolving on each return visit, with new experiences available that were not present on previous holidays.
