Disneyland Paris may be closed for the time being, but a reopening is scheduled soon. When the park DOES reopen, a MAJOR icon might look pretty different!
Although Disneyland Paris is currently closed, we still have a lot to look forward to once it reopens!
Disney’s Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel
Disney’s Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel, is a new resort coming to Disneyland Paris that will incorporate the charm of New York with hundreds of pieces of Marvel artwork. We’ve been geeking out over the sneak peeks that we’ve gotten so far, and today we got to take another look behind the scenes!
Do you feel like you haven’t gotten your fill of holiday shows and nighttime spectaculars this year?
Cinderella Castle
Although we think the holiday projections (and sometimes fireworks!) on Cinderella Castle are stunning, we can’t help but miss shows like A Frozen Holiday Wish and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks this year. Luckily, you can now watch a festive Christmas show from Disneyland Paris, featuring lots of characters, bright lights, and plenty of holiday music.
Without question, the holidays are baking season! Don’t get us wrong, we’re ALWAYS happy to cook up a batch of choco chips or shortbread ANY time of the year, but there’s something so perfect about baking sweet treats with loved ones this time of year!
Minnie Peppermint Cookie
If you’re REALLY looking to sweeten up your sweets this year, Disney is sharing recipes for 10 of its most beloved and most unique cookies from the theme parks, so that you can recreate the magic at home! From whimsical riffs on classics, like Gingerbread Cookies, to more elaborate confections, like Belle’s Enchanted Christmas Tree, there’s a cookie recipe here for everyone!
Disneyland Paris Resort won’t remain COMPLETELY closed this holiday season.

Disneyland Paris was recently reclosed due to government restriction in France. Though the resort was initially supposed to temporarily reopen for the holidays, it was soon announced that it would remain closed. Now, we know one spot in Disneyland Paris that will be open this December.
2020 has brought a LOT of twists and turns, and we’re still very much in the midst of grappling with them. This year and next were supposed to be exciting ones in terms of opening attractions.
Spaceship Earth
There are still projects to be excited about, of course, but Disney has left us wondering when and if some of them will ever be completed. Luckily, there are a few BIG Disney attractions that we can still expect to open in 2021 — here are the upcoming projects scheduled for completion next year!
Last month, Disneyland Paris announced that it would be closing for the second time this year due to the global health crisis.

Initially, it was unclear if the resort would be able to open to celebrate the holidays between December 19th and January 3rd, depending on government mandates. However, it now appears that the resort will be closed through February 12th. For those rebooking their trips, Disneyland Paris is offering a perk!
Disneyland Paris, like most other Disney parks, has had to deal with a number of changes to plans due to the global health crisis.

Earlier this year, the Parisian resort closed alongside the other international Disney parks and remained closed for several months before a reopening in July. Since then, COVID-19 cases have increased in France prompting a lockdown, and Disneyland Paris has closed temporarily again. Now, it seems that closure will extend through the holiday season.
Due to the global pandemic, Disneyland Paris (like all of the other Disney theme parks around the world) shut down earlier this year, but then reopened in July. Eventually, however, COVID-19 numbers in France began increasing again, and the country went into lockdown, forcing Disneyland Paris to close temporarily once again at the end of October.

Disneyland Paris was set to reopen on from December 19th through January 3rd, but it seems recent regulations set by the French government have caused plans at this theme park to change.
There are lots of projects going on at Disneyland Paris right now!

At last week’s IAAPA expo, we got several updates on the ongoing projects, including Hotel New York — Art of Marvel and Avengers Campus. However, the park has also had some difficulties recently, as the park didn’t achieve net positive contribution in Q4 and recently had to close its gates again due to a nationwide lockdown in France. Even with all of this, we’ve just received positive news from Disneyland Paris, as we recently got an update on construction for the new Cars Route 66 Road Trip attraction!
