Disneyland Paris has reached an important milestone in its transformation of Walt Disney Studios to Disney Adventure World. The new World Premiere is now officially open and welcoming guests to the second park at Disneyland Paris. Disneyland Paris shared the following information about this exciting day.
Today, 15 May 2025, marked the long-awaited opening of World Premiere! To celebrate the completion of this major year-long project, Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams gathered in front of the impressive Disney Theater neon sign to immortalize this symbolic moment.
Formerly known as Disney Studio 1, World Premiere represents a new key milestone in the transformation of the second Park of Disneyland® Paris, which will become Disney Adventure World when the extension opens in 2026: this reimagined entrance sequence now transports guests to the heart of a Hollywood premiere, under a permanent starry sky. Here, guests can stop to eat at The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant, stroll through the elegant Mickey’s of Hollywood Boutique, or admire the Disney and Los Angeles references scattered around every corner. World Premiere also leads the way to the many theaters of World Premiere Plaza, and serves as a gateway to the various immersive worlds such as Marvel Avengers Campus or World of Frozen – the latter opening in 2026.
While the construction site itself lasted about a year, Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams began working on the project three years ago. They first had to write the new story of the place, study the structure of the existing building and explore various design ideas, before deciding on technical and material solutions to prepare for the site’s transformation into World Premiere. An ambitious schedule, to say the least, that mobilized numerous teams at Disneyland® Paris, especially for this location used by all guests every day in the middle of a much-frequented theme park! The Imagineers celebrated this accomplishment with a group picture bringing together all the expertise involved in this wonderful project: artistic directors, producers, architects, engineers, and more.
As for World Premiere Plaza, the transformation will continue in the coming months to ensure it is fully ready when the extension opens in 2026.
