On 29 March, Disneyland Paris enters a new era. The opening of World of Frozen and the transformation of Walt Disney Studios Park into Disney Adventure World mark the resort's most momentous milestone in more than 20 years.
It is a strategic technology showcase that reveals how Disney plans to shape the next generation of immersive entertainment.
On Friday, 27 March, French President Emmanuel Macron visited Disneyland Paris ahead of the public opening. For non-Disney fans, this is the equivalent of the Spanish King visiting Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on opening day.
Disneyland Paris is a major technical display and one of Europe's most popular tourist sites. Macron's visit highlighted the greater message. Innovation in themed entertainment fosters national competitiveness, employment growth, and technology leadership.
This extension is part of a multi-year initiative worth €2 billion, announced more than 7 years ago. The pace was criticised, but as they say, wonderful things come to those who wait.
The outcome is evident today. Disney Adventure World positions Disneyland Paris as a trial ground for cutting-edge robotics, artificial intelligence, and drone-based storytelling technologies. It is about redefining how guests interact with stories.
Technology now sits at the centre of Disney's creative strategy. This new land proves it, and I've seen it and experienced it with my own eyes.
