In 2024, Disneyland Paris will proudly welcome two new enchanting scenes, Frozen and Winnie the Pooh, to Le Pays des Contes de Fées in honor of its 30th anniversary!
Since 1994, this peaceful boat ride has enchanted guests of all ages with a fairytale atmosphere. Discover this journey through stories by Walt Disney Animation Studios, a tribute to Walt Disney's original idea and a reinvention of the classic Storybook Land Canal Boats.
Frozen in miniature
Before guests are invited to Arendelle at Walt Disney Studios Park, "Frozen" comes to life in miniature form in Fantasyland. Together with Disneyland Paris Central Shops, Imagineers are working closely to create a detailed model of the majestic North Mountain, covered in a thick white blanket of snow, and Elsa's iconic Ice Palace at the top. Guests can even spot Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven on their way to Wandering Oaken's Trading Post (and Sauna)!
Pooh and his friends in the spotlight
As your boat takes you through these enchanting realms, another timeless place will blossom, full of charm, wisdom and ... honey. It is, of course, the Hundred Acre Wood! Storybook Land will soon have a new home for Winnie the Pooh and his friends, not far from the cozy cottage of the Seven Dwarfs.
"There's something magical about taking something full-size and showing it in miniature form, something Walt himself was obsessed with," shares Keith Rector, Art Director at Walt Disney Imagineering Paris. "Growing up near Disneyland in California, Storybook Land was always my favorite attraction. When I joined the team in Paris, we started a conversation about how to bring new stories to Le Pays des Contes de Fées. I wanted to introduce new characters to this realm of fairy tale classics."
These additions and a complete renovation of the attraction will take place in the coming year.
