An All-New Entrance to the Magic
We already know that the future of Disney Adventure World is going to be full of all kinds of stories, but the Imagineers are hard at work to ensure the movie-making history of the park’s original conception stays alive.
Now, it has been shared that the epic former Studio 1 building and its surroundings will encompass so much more of that glitzy, Art Deco-inspired glamor, with the front of the park becoming an all-new “World Premiere Plaza.”
According to ED92, this area will even house a brand-new restaurant, and new concept art was shared by Disney Parks to really get us intrigued!

Want to know more? Here’s the official descriptor from Disneyland Paris:
“After passing through the turnstiles, guests will be transported into a vibrant, contemporary open-air movie studio before becoming special guests of a glamorous film premiere in the heart of Hollywood on a starry night. To bring this all-new immersive experience to life, the interior décor of the “soundstage” – which currently depicts a filming scene on Hollywood Boulevard – will be replaced with crafted décor that pays homage to historic movie theaters in Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole”
“Once outside the building, guests will arrive in the heart of World Premiere Plaza, an area that brings together theaters, currently celebrating Disney Animation and Pixar stories, in a stylish Art Déco-inspired setting. The Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams are already at work to turn the park’s former central square into a dynamic and warm environment with décor inspired by the famous facades of Broadway and West End theaters. The atmosphere will be even more vibrant and magical at night, with bright lights illuminating the whole experience!”
Doesn’t it all sound magical? This World Premiere entrance building is set to open in the spring of 2025. That’s just a year to go!
