Disneyland Paris expansion
Views: 930,165 Subscribe

Currently the Disneyland Hotel is getting stripped, visible from the park.

Indeed The Disneyland Hotel is closed for more than one year now due to the pandemic... but the big refurbishment work has not really started and the rumours say it could be closed for about 2 years and/or maybe re open for the future Paris 2024 Oympic games.

This may be completely the wrong place to ask this but I would like to know... as the construction started on the Disneyland hotel in January and that they haven't announced an expected end date just yet from what I can work out.

Is it worth me waiting for it to reopen, does anyone know when that might be? I do love the idea of staying in the Disneyland Hotel.

Now this is some great news! And I don't get why people pretend it's going badly. Construction seems to be going so fast the past few months.

It was about time, but they finally announced a rebrand for all the Pixar attractions in the Studios Park. Toon Town (which was miserable to begin with) will probably be reused with a different meet and greet spot. This also means that Aladdin's carpet ride sticks out like a sour thumb even more. Just for aesthetics and atmosphere, I hope they relocate Cars Quatre to the road trip attraction and change the complete area to something Nemo themed. It's probably the worst part in both parks. Just take inspiration from Tokyo Disney's Arielle lagoon. It would have been perfect for Paris too (especially because of our bad weather)

At this construction speed, I don't think the campus will be open before August or September next year...

I’m wondering if those diagonal lines are diffusers, and they’ll be lit by LEDs on vertical bars in the gaps between. Can’t think of any structural reason for them, so I’d assume they’re something to do with the effect.

Anyone seen how the 'reactive' screen will play out that they are installing on the Iron Man attraction? Seems that it would be a pain to install much behind those screens now they have been hung.

Not only that, but the IAAPA Expo is also coming up in September, which might have a little bit of news for DLP (For example, concept art of the new Rock 'n Rollercoaster trains were leaked there 2 years ago)

Then allow me to be the bearer of good news! It’s not till November, but it does include a 'What’s New and What’s Next for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products' panel. We will hope for some updates on current DLP projects then.
