Walt Disney Studios is officially a wrap. As of March 29th, 2026, a new era has begun at Disneyland Paris: Disney Adventure World is finally here!

In today’s livestream, we are breaking down everything from the massive opening weekend. Even though we aren’t in France, we’ve been glued to the incredible coverage from our fellow content creators to see if the rebranding actually fixed the "half-day park" problem.

WHAT WE’RE COVERING:

❄️ World of Frozen: Is the "Sunflower Festival" theme better than the original? Plus, our thoughts on that massive new North Mountain and the next-gen Olaf animatronic.

🏮 Adventure Way & Bay: Does the Raiponce Tangled Spin live up to the hype, and is Disney Cascade of Lights officially the best drone show Disney has ever made?

🦁 The Pride Lands: A look at the construction for the world’s first Lion King land and what it means for the future of the resort.
