Disneyland Paris expansion

[Guest]

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.

No, stop saying the construction is not progressing well, the land won’t open in summer 2022, stop saying that, I’m working at Avengers Campus, at this moment, the land will open on March 25, 2022

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.

I think rather than a high-def screen it will just be a lighting effect through the cheese-grater textured panels they're putting up at the moment. Not sure if the LED lights are installed already on the posts sticking out from behind the panels? Just a guess though.

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)

There will be no D23 this year. The next expo is in september 2022. I think construction pictures will be here sooner than the expo..

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.
