BREAKING: Opening Date Announced for World Premiere at Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris has announced an opening date for World Premiere at Walt Disney Studios Park (soon to be known as Disney Adventure World).

World Premiere will open on May 15, 2025, ushering in the latest major milestone of Disney Adventure World. This brand-new park entrance will feature a reimagined interior with new décor, refurbished spaces, and a new storyline. Disney shared a look at the ongoing construction.

When guests step foot into this impressive building, they’ll be invited to a glamorous premiere in the heart of Hollywood. Here you’ll discover the new quick service dining location, The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant, Searchlight Kiosk for all your snacking needs and the must-visit Mickey’s of Hollywood Boutique.  

At the end of the central alley, the impressive façade of the Disney Theater and its majestic, illuminated sign weighing nearly three tons will invite guests to continue their exploration of Disney Adventure World and its immersive worlds. At World Premiere, a wide range of experiences will await guests.

When guests set foot in this impressive building, they will become special guests of a glamorous film premiere in the heart of Hollywood, under a sky full of stars no matter the time. Then, they will be able to discover fully immersive worlds, placing them into the heart of their favorite Disney, Marvel, and Pixar stories.

The interior of the former Disney Studio 1 soundstage has been completely reimagined to feature new crafted décor, refurbished spaces and a brand-new storyline that sets guests in an authentic Hollywood boulevard, recognizable by its palm trees, the stars on the ground, the rich and varied architecture of its façades and its famous movie theaters.

Numerous nods to Los Angeles, Disney, and other park experiences will be hidden within the sets, particularly including the impressive skyline that serves as the backdrop to the entire building.

For those who fancy a bit of shopping, the must-visit place at World Premiere will be Mickey’s of Hollywood Boutique, inspired by the classic American department stores of the 1920s. Guests will be able to find a wide selection of products inspired by Disney stories brought to life in the park’s immersive worlds.

An invitation to dine under the stars at any time of day will be presented through, in the elegant ‘outdoor’ setting of The Hollywood Gardens Restaurant, which will offer delicious quick service options. A range of snacks and hot and cold drinks will also be available to take away from the Searchlight kiosk.

After you’re done exploring World Premiere, you’ll arrive in the heart of World Premiere Plaza. Inspired by Broadway and the West End district, this vibrant area brings together several theaters celebrating Disney Animation and Pixar stories, such as TOGETHER: a Pixar Musical Adventure, Mickey and the Magician, and Frozen: A Musical Invitation.

Disney featured a glimpse of the mural being painted, including Black Panther and characters from “The Lion King.”

Disney Imagineers are currently hard at work reimagining pathways, creating colorful murals, and introducing new landscaped areas, as well as new Art Deco-inspired street furniture. The transformation work at World Premiere Plaza, which is being carried out in phases to minimize the impact on the guest experience, will be completed before the opening of Disney Adventure World in 2026.
