Disneyland Paris expansion

There have been some rumours circulating that Disneyland Paris will not open at all this year. I just want to share that it's easy enough to check these rumours if you simply try and book for Disneyland Paris directly with them - right now I can book a hotel stay and entry to the park for April 25th 2021. If there was any chance at all that DLP knew it would not be able to open it would not be selling tickets and hotel stays, they would have made the decision to reduce the staff and resources and stop taking bookings.

Nobody knows how the French laws will move for the summer as yet and if Disneyland can open it will. There is no point speculating and reposting random vloggers opinions, especially when it is so easy to fact check. So for now DLP plan to open on April 25th, that will likely be pushed back but the intention is to open as soon as possible.

There is a patent Disney filed called, "portable peppers ghost effect". I immediately thought that this technology will be used in spider man web slingers.

The ride vehicle has a screen in front so the peppers ghost effect would be used to simulate the webs you are shooting.

The vehicle may be any one of a car, a bus, a train, an airplane, a boat, or the like in which a passenger is afforded a window to look outside the vehicle. An Augmented Reality Enterainment System (ARES) is provided to the passenger as a viewer, to augment the scene visible outside of the window. The ARES employs a projector and a reflector to display imaged to the viewer overlaid over the visible scene on the window.

Avengers Campus should open in 2022 for 30 years of Disneyland Paris.

Everyone’s talking about how avengers campus is opening at DCA, but does anyone know when avengers campus will open at WDS? As it looks like they haven’t made much progress compared to the resort in California.

Good overview of the refurbishments underway in the resort during lockdown.

Those are only speculations that have started on the French forum Disney Central Plaza.
There is 0% chance that this is true. Mediocre YouTubers use this forum's posts to release clickbait videos in which they claim that this land will come because they heard it from "reliable sources."

There are a few rumours now crossing each other, lets be very careful with this.

Firstly, Disneyland is rumoured to see how they can make Galaxy's Edge more integrated with hot IP's like Mandalorian. As they currently don't fit in the timeline of the land.

Second, the French Government and Disney have indeed an agreement for additional Parks being build with the land they purchased in the 80's, This has nothing to do with the extension of Walt Disney Studios Park. This extension is just a fix Disney is doing and not with the agreement to build a third park by 2037.

The Lion King Rumour has gone around for the last 10-15 years and never made footfall into the Paris resort, Splash Mountain was rumoured as extension for the back of Frontierland. Plans have been prepared for this, drawings are available on the exact position of it but so far Paris has not gone any further.

Star Wars will come in a form or shape into the parks, with an immersive land as this IP is hot and has been for the last 20/30 years in Disney parks around the globe. So far no permits have been filed for the construction of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, only for the Frozen expansion, so it will be a waiting game when we can see this coming as the land should open in 2024. Which will give Imagineering enough time to future proof this land with potential new Star Wars IP's integrated.

No reason they can't come up with a new Star Wars ride for Paris though.
