New details on Disneyland Paris expansion, featuring ‘Star Wars’, ‘Frozen’

Disneyland Paris has shared new details on the upcoming expansion of Walt Disney Studios Park, which will feature new areas inspired by “Star Wars” and “Frozen.”

The new expansion will be centered around a large lake, about 7.5 acres in size, which will also serve as a unique entertainment stage with a 360-degree viewing area. The lake will be outfitted with the latest lighting, sound, special effects technology, and fountains to create water-based shows.

“This new, open-air development will add to the beauty and immersiveness of Walt Disney Studios Park, while providing the perfect center stage for not only daytime shows, but also nighttime spectaculars. It will completely rejuvenate the park’s experience,” said David Wilson, site portfolio executive for Euro Disneyland Imagineering.

The lake will also be the gateway to new themed areas surrounding it. An area inspired by the animated film “Frozen” will be the cornerstone of this new expansion, featuring a re-creation of the port of Arendelle and a 160-foot-tall mountain. Nearby, “Star Wars” fans can live their own Star Wars story in a galaxy far, far away.

Both areas will include a major attraction, a dining location, shops and character encounters.
