FIRST LOOK: Inside Adventure Way and Gazebo Garden at Disney Adventure World

In addition to World of Frozen, the expansion of Disney Adventure World (currently Walt Disney Studios Park) at Disneyland Paris will include a new Adventure Way leading up to Adventure Bay. Disneyland Paris has released a few new details during a major press event.

Adventure Way: The New Main Avenue of Disney Adventure World

The true prelude to Disney Adventure World’s experiences, Adventure Way will link World Premiere Plaza and its many theatrical shows to the park’s various lands: Marvel Avengers Campus, Worlds of Pixar, and World of Frozen.

It should be noted that Adventure Way is partially built on the plot where the entrance to the Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic attraction used to exist. Parts of this attraction persist as Cars: Road Trip.

The new main avenue will feature a brand-new attraction, a wide array of dining with 14 culinary experiences, lush green spaces perfect for relaxation, and entertainment. These food locations along Adventure Way will showcase new and exclusive offerings at Disneyland Paris.

La Terrasse Panoramique will invite guests to enjoy bread bowls, New York rolls, and a selection of hot beverages. Café Luminosity will debut an original hot dog concept with four signature recipes, complemented by sweet treats like cinnamon rolls.

To round out the experience, three kiosks, five chalets, and several mobile carts will line the area, offering diverse creations such as filled brioche rolls, stuffed potato waffles, and whimsical Disney Princess-inspired desserts.

Poetic Gardens and Entertainment

Adventure Way will also feature themed gardens celebrating a few of Disney and Pixar’s most beloved stories. All guests can stroll through areas such as the Tangled Garden or Toy Story Garden, the latter adorned with two monumental statues of Woody and Jessie.

The same statues can currently be found in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Shanghai Disneyland, while Woody can also be spotted at Hong Kong Disneyland. Trees and shrubs trimmed into toy shapes will naturally lead to Toy Story.

At The Gazebo Garden, guests will enjoy peaceful moments in an English-style setting, complete with bronze statues honoring Disney Animation films inspired by classic British stories such as Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians.

Throughout the year, this garden will come alive with music: Rapunzel and Flynn’s Musical Encounter in spring; Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band in summer; Miguel’s Fiesta Latina in fall; and, starting November 2026, character greetings with other Disney icons.

It should be noted that all three of these musical encounters are similar to parts of the offerings from the Disney Music Festival, which ran from April 19th through September 7th of this year.

The Disney Marching Band, a marching band led by Minnie Mouse and her 12 musicians on percussion and brass, will parade down Adventure Way with pop and modern renditions of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel songs.

During this year’s Disney Music Festival event at Disneyland Park, there was a show called Minnie’s Marching Band on Main Street USA. In this, Minnie Mouse led a marching band with twelve performers down the street, doing something very similar to what Disney announced for Adventure Way.

It has not been confirmed that this is the same show, but it might have served as an inspiration or test.

The Future

A family-friendly attraction inspired by Pixar’s Up (a first for that film) will join Adventure Way. This flying carousel will add motion and energy to the promenade, offering families another experience to enjoy together.

Later, Disney Adventure World will welcome the first themed area dedicated to
The Lion King, one of Disney Animation’s most beloved films. This new land will feature a major attraction combining water-based thrills with next-generation Audio-Animatronics figures, plunging guests deep into the Pride Lands to follow Simba’s adventures.

In September of this year, drop tests were spotted backstage for the log flume.

Disneyland Pass holders for Disneyland Paris will get preview days to be among the first guests inside these new areas.

Adventure Way will lead to World of Frozen, where, during the press event, we got a look at some of the opening merchandise. At the Fjord View Shop, guests can also take home their own baby troll. Check out our first look at World of Frozen. We also got a first look inside the Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, which will be located along Adventure Way.
