Disneyland Paris unveils ambitious weather resilience plan

Disneyland Paris has unveiled an ambitious plan to protect visitors from changing weather conditions.

Since 1992, the resort has been investing in a unique Disney experience, adapted to the Parisian climate. That was when Disneyland Park introduced the famous covered arcades on Main Street, U.S.A. The Imagineers are working closely with the teams at Disneyland Paris to seamlessly integrate these new structures into the resort's landscape.

The park recently opened the renovated Pizzeria Bella Notte, which, in addition to a new theme – guests are now immersed in the world of Disney and Pixar's Luca – also features a covered terrace. Casa de Coco – Restaurante de Familia, formerly Fuente Del Oro Restaurante, has also undergone a similar transformation. Here, guests can now enjoy delicious Tex Mex dishes in various areas or on the new covered terrace.

Casey's Corner will soon be added to this list. The restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A. is getting a new covered terrace in true Victorian style. Stéphane Poulain, architect at Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, explains: “We wanted to expand the history of the restaurant with new references to the sport celebrated here, baseball. With this architecture, we deliberately wanted to reduce the scale so that the existing facades of Main Street remain clearly visible, while still giving personality to this new structure.” In addition, the park also wants to provide the nearby character meet-and-greet area with an elegant kiosk.

Some changes will also be made at Walt Disney Studios Park as part of this project. For example, the queue for The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will be redesigned to better accommodate adventurous visitors who want to explore this mysterious place.

And that's not all: several long-term projects, including a redesign of the queue at Peter Pan's Flight, are currently still in the design phase. These will be implemented over the coming years.

“We are constantly rethinking our visitor experience and seeking concrete solutions to enhance the magic of our parks,” explains Robin Reardon, Director of Creative Development. “This investment programme, which combines storytelling, immersion and comfort, perfectly reflects our commitment within the Design & Show Quality team.”
