I was one of the first to get a sneak peek inside Disneyland Paris’ new park – with the first-ever World of Frozen and a real-life Olaf, writes HAYLEY MINN

Disneyland Paris, the magical kingdom of childhood dreams, is about to embark on a new and exciting venture. The multi-billion euro project is set to open to the public on 29th March 2026, and I, Hayley Minn, the deputy travel editor of the Daily Mail, was lucky enough to get a sneak peek behind the scenes.

As I stepped into the world of Disneyland Paris, I was immediately transported to a land of fantasy and wonder. The iconic castle, the colorful buildings, and the familiar characters greeted me with open arms. But what caught my attention was the sheer scale of the new project that was underway.

With the aim of providing an even more enchanting experience to its visitors, Disneyland Paris is undergoing a massive expansion. This ambitious undertaking will include new lands, attractions, and experiences, making it the ultimate destination for every Disney fan.

As I made my way through the construction site, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. Everywhere I looked, I saw workers and Imagineers putting their heart and soul into bringing the magic to life. The attention to detail and dedication to creating the perfect Disney experience was truly impressive.

One of the highlights of my visit was getting a sneak peek at the new lands that will soon be open to the public. From the futuristic world of Star Wars to the mythical kingdom of Frozen, each land had its own unique charm and was sure to leave a lasting impression on visitors.

I also had the opportunity to try out some of the new attractions, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. From heart-pumping roller coasters to interactive experiences, there was something for everyone. And of course, no visit to Disneyland Paris is complete without meeting the beloved Disney characters. I was able to chat with Mickey and Minnie, dance with the princesses, and even go on a thrilling adventure with Buzz Lightyear.

But what truly struck me during my visit was the dedication of the Disneyland Paris team to creating a magical experience for their guests. From the construction workers to the Imagineers, everyone was passionate about their role in bringing the Disney magic to life. It was evident that every detail was carefully thought out and executed with precision.

As I bid goodbye to Disneyland Paris, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to witness the making of this incredible venture. The multi-billion euro project is set to not only enhance the Disneyland Paris experience but also boost the local economy and create thousands of jobs.

So mark your calendars for 29th March 2026, because Disneyland Paris is about to take your Disney experience to a whole new level. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on the magic that awaits. See you there!
