World Premiere opens 15 May as gateway to adventure

A new phase is dawning for Disneyland Paris' second park, marked by brand new experiences, unprecedented expansion and a fresh creative vision. As part of this transformation, the entrance area has also undergone a major metamorphosis and will open its doors from 15 May under the name 'World Premiere'.

Former Studio 1 becomes World Premiere

When guests enter this imposing building, they imagine themselves special guests at a glamorous movie premiere in the heart of Hollywood, under an ever-shining starry sky. From here, they can discover the fully immersive worlds that place them directly into their favourite Disney, Marvel and Pixar stories.

The interior of the former Disney Studio 1 soundstage has been completely redesigned with new, detailed scenery, revamped rooms and a brand new storyline. Visitors walk through an authentic Hollywood boulevard, recognisable by the palm trees, the stars on the ground, the rich and varied architecture of the facades and the iconic cinemas. Hidden in the sets are numerous references to Los Angeles, Disney and other park experiences, including an impressive skyline that serves as a backdrop for the entire building.

At the end of the central avenue, the imposing facade of the Disney Theatre with its majestic, illuminated signboard of nearly three tonnes, invites guests to their exploration of Disney Adventure World and continue his immersive worlds. In World Premiere a wide range of experiences awaits visitors.

Restaurants & shop

An invitation to dine under the stars at any time of day is offered in the elegant 'outdoor' setting of The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant, which offers delicious quick service options. At the Searchlight kiosk various snacks and hot and cold drinks are available to take away.

For those who like to shop around, Mickey's of Hollywood Boutique the must-visit spot in World Premiere. This shop is inspired by the classic American department stores of the 1920s. Guests will find a wide selection of products inspired by the Disney stories that come to life in the park's immersive worlds.

World Premiere Plaza

Once outside the building, guests arrive at World Premiere Plaza. This lively square, inspired by Broadway and the West End, brings together several theatres currently celebrating Disney Animation and Pixar stories in a stylish setting. Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams are working hard to transform the park's former central square into a dynamic and warm environment. This transformation includes redesigning paths, creating colourful murals, introducing new green areas and adding new Art Deco-inspired street furniture, with the aim of bringing harmony to the space and enhancing the look and feel of World Premiere Plaza. The work, which will be carried out in phases, will be completed before the opening of the park's new themed areas in 2026.

"As our second park continues its transformation, we are proud to unveil the next milestone with the opening of World Premiere in a few weeks' time. As part of the €2bn investment plan announced in 2018, we continue to reinvent this park with a fresh creative vision. At the end of the expansion - with the opening of Adventure Way, Adventure Bay and World or Frozen in 2026, and later an immersive world around The Lion King - we will have redesigned more than 90% of the park's offerings since opening in 2002 and roughly doubled the area to make it a truly unmissable experience!", said Natacha Rafalski, Présidente of Disneyland Paris.
