One Disney park is set to make a huge announcement next week.

Disneyland Paris has confirmed that an official reveal is coming in the next few days, hinting at updates for the long-awaited World of Frozen – the third Frozen (2013)-themed area after World of Frozen in Hong Kong and a sub-area of Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea – and the resort’s soon-to-be-renamed second gate, Disney Adventure World.

Disney Teases Brand-New Theme Park Developments

The resort released a polished teaser video on Instagram, flying through World Premiere, the reimagined entrance area that replaced Studio 1 earlier this year.

Most of the footage glides through the entrance plaza and the indoor, Main Street-style World Premiere soundstage. A brief shot of the plaza shows a water tower with its lettering noticeably removed, reinforcing the shift away from its “Walt Disney Studios” identity.

The video offers little else in the way of clues, showing only a quick-service eatery and merchandise location tucked inside the soundstage area. Even so, fans quickly locked onto the message in the caption attached to the clip.

According to Disneyland Paris, “a new adventure is about to begin,” with the resort planning to announce the official opening date for World of Frozen on November 24 at 8 p.m. local time.

For U.S. viewers hoping to watch the news break in real time, that translates to 2 p.m. on the East Coast and 11 a.m. on the West Coast, giving stateside fans a clear window to tune in.

The announcement carries extra weight because the debut of World of Frozen will also mark the day the park officially transitions to Disney Adventure World, permanently retiring the Walt Disney Studios Park name.

Disneyland Paris also teased “other exciting surprises about Disney Adventure World,” suggesting the reveal will go well beyond a simple opening date. The scope of those surprises remains a mystery for now.

Guests previously knew only that World of Frozen would arrive in Spring 2026. This new announcement appears set to narrow that timeline to a precise date.

The new land will feature the resort’s own version of Frozen Ever After, the water-based attraction already operating at Walt Disney World and Hong Kong Disneyland. Tokyo DisneySea also has an iteration of the attraction, known as Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey.
