New Scenes Unveiled for the 30th Anniversary of Storybook Land Canal Boats in Disneyland Paris

Images of the newly added scenes aboard Le Pays des Contes de Fées, the Storybook Land Canal Boats, have been shared just days before the attraction reopens this Friday at Disneyland Paris.

New Scenes for Storybook Land Canal Boats

Illustration of a whimsical landscape with castles, a hot air balloon, and a boat. The text reads "Le Pays des Contes de Fées," the Storybook Land Canal Boats, and "Fantasyland." The bottom label says "Présenté par Vittel" in celebration of Disneyland Paris' 30th Anniversary.

Natacha Rafalski, president of Disneyland Paris, posted the images of the new scenes to her official Instagram account.

There are three new scenes inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios films “Frozen” and “Winnie the Pooh,” and Pixar Animation Studios’ “Up.” The “Frozen” and “Winnie the Pooh” scenes were announced with concept art last October, and “Up” was announced this past May.

Just last month, we reported the return of the giant storybook with a new design to the Storybook Land Canal Boats. This refurbishment is thanks, in part, to the attraction’s presenting sponsor, Vittel.

‘Winnie the Pooh’ Scene

A rocky landscape features a small wooden bridge, a twisted tree with a sculpted trunk, and lush greenery under a clear blue sky, reminiscent of the enchanting charm celebrated during Disneyland Paris' 30th Anniversary at Storybook Land Canal Boats.

Truly, the concept art proves reality in these updates. In the photo above, you can see the tiny bridge that leads to Winnie the Pooh’s home. The treehouse looks as though it was pulled right from the pages of a storybook as it sits nestled beneath Rapunzel’s tower.

If you look close enough, you can even see Pooh and Tigger playing just in front of the miniature treehouse. Pooh is lying on his back as Tigger, in his iconic way, bounces on Pooh’s tummy.

‘Frozen’ Scene

A miniature winter scene celebrating Disneyland Paris' 30th Anniversary, featuring snow-covered trees, mountains, and small wooden cabins under a clear blue sky.

The “Frozen” scene depicts a winter wonderland. This scene is reminiscent of the first “Frozen” film when Elsa ices over all of Arendelle. The building on the far left appears to be Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post with a small shed next door. Elsa’s ice castle sits atop the mountain on the far right.

At the bottom right, you can barely see Elsa and Anna in the sled while Kristoff stands beside Sven, the reindeer.

Disneyland Paris will also be opening a new “Frozen” land as part of a major expansion to Walt Disney Studios Park, which will also be renamed to Disney Adventure World.

‘Up’ Scene

The final new image shared is that of the “Up” sequence added to the attraction. A small storybook can be seen with “La Haut” on the left (“Up” in French) in blue sans serif font, and an illustration of Dug on the right.

The “Up” house is seen precariously floating, or perhaps resting, atop the miniature rocks on the journey to Paradise Falls. There are small figures of Carl and Russel holding onto the blue hose just like in the movie.

Which of these scenes brought you the most joy? Will you be traveling to Disneyland Paris to see these additions?
