News JVTech Disneyland Paris will change a lot in 2023 and it starts now
The Disneyland Paris park began its transformation several years ago, and 2023 will notably allow Disney Village, which is located nearby, to evolve considerably. The changes will not be long in coming.
In the area of Disneyland Paris located in Marne-la-Vallée, there is not only the main theme park. There is also Walt Disney Studios and DisneyVillage. We know it, Walt Disney Studios is currently under constructionwith a view to welcoming a new area in 2024, dedicated to the world of Snow Queen. With a bit of method and provided you don’t get dizzy, it is already available to get a glimpse of the progress of the work: all you have to do is take a quick tour of the Toy attraction Soldiers Parachute Drop.
Disney Studio’s future Frozen area
In the following years, another area should see the light of day. Disneyland had mentioned in 2018 the start of construction of a Star Wars land, but, for the time being, the park is not very talkative on the subject. Maybe it’s because the band prefers to focus on another project right now.
Disney Village, the major construction site for Disneyland Paris in 2023
Opened in April 1992, at the same time as Disneyland Paris, Disney Village is an area in which restaurants and various shops gather. It is not necessary to have a ticket for the park to access it and this makes it an area that attracts visitors to the region, to eat there, see a film or even go shopping. In the space of 30 years, this vast area has doubled in size: it currently covers 40,000 m².
Only, Disney Village has grown a little in every way and has never seen a noticeable refresh in three decades. The Disneyland Paris group wants to change all that, and has therefore began major changes at the beginning of last year.

Planet Hollywood and King Ludwig’s Castle close at Disney Village
Visitors to Disney Village had the opportunity to see very early in 2022 the closing of Café Mickey, an expensive restaurant located at the end of the area, whose main interest was to be able to eat surrounded by characters from the park. Gently dismantled throughout the last year, the place will be transformed into a French brasserie, Rosaliein the course of 2023. Work begins in January.
On the evening of January 7, two restaurants in the area will also close permanently: these are the gigantic Planet Hollywood and the medieval, but somewhat kitsch, King Ludwig’s Castle. This will be replaced in February 2023 by a restaurant named The Royal Pub, thus drawing inspiration from English pubs. The work will be very fast, despite a total overhaul of the premises.
As for Planet Hollywood, Disneyland has not yet communicated on its plans.. The shape and nature of the places could require a lot more work.
Disney Village completely redesigned in the coming years
These first projects will not be the last. The objective of the Walt Disney Imageneering teams is to modernize the premises while keeping the spirit of Disney. The facades will be given a facelift, while the main aisle will be reinvented with “Illuminations, music and a series of original art installations that portray our characters and stories in contemporary styles. »
The lake, present at the bottom of the area, should also accommodate new facilities, in particular to create relaxation areas. The group will also have to transform the former space dedicated to the show The Legend of Buffalo Bill with Mickey and his friendswhich definitively closed its doors with the pandemic.
We must therefore expect changes, but also work at Disneyland Paris and its immediate surroundings. It might take some of the magic out of the place for a while, but it’s probably for the best.
