Pixar Kiosk Removal at Disneyland Paris: Signs of Disney Adventure World

Disneyland Paris has begun clearing the way for Disney Adventure World, its massive Walt Disney Studios Park overhaul opening March 29, 2026. The first visible sign was the unannounced removal of a Pixar-themed retail kiosk in the Animation Courtyard. While small on its own, this change fits into the bigger picture: Walt Disney Studios Park will fully rebrand as Disney Adventure World when the new World of Frozen lands opens. In short, Disneyland Paris is shifting from a “behind-the-scenes” film studio theme to a more immersive cinematic worlds concept.

What Happened: Pixar Merchandise Kiosk Removed

On January 25, 2026, fans noticed that the Pixar souvenir kiosk in the park’s Animation Courtyard had vanished overnight. A Twitter user captured the empty spot and Disney dining news confirmed it. This likely won’t return, as the park’s scheduled reopening as “Disney Adventure World” approaches. In fact, the removal came just two months before the March 29 conversion – a clear signal that construction is ramping up.

Disney Adventure World: Coming March 29, 2026

The official Disneyland Paris announcement confirms the date: March 29, 2026 will be Day 1 of Disney Adventure World. Here’s what guests can expect:

• World of Frozen (Opening March 2026): The star attraction is a fully realized Frozen realm. It will include Frozen Ever After, a boat ride through Elsa’s Ice Palace, where Anna, Elsa, and Olaf greet visitors. The entire village of Arendelle is recreated, and guests can meet Anna and Elsa in person. This new land also debuts Raiponce (Rapunzel) Tangled Spin, a family-friendly spinners ride under floating lanterns. Plus there’s a huge new nighttime show, Disney Cascade of Lights, with fireworks, water screens, drones, and more. This promises to be Disneyland Paris’s most spectacular evening show ever.

• Marvel Avengers Campus (Stays): The Avengers Campus area remains open during and after the conversion. Team up with Spider-Man, Iron Man, and more – Disney has said these Marvel lands will continue “operational, though with potential modifications”. So superhero fans can breathe easy.

• Worlds of Pixar (Stays): The Pixar-themed lands (Toy Story Playland, Ratatouille, etc.) will also persist. Despite the Pixar kiosk removal, Disney has reassured that Pixar characters will still have a presence. (It seems the focus of the rebranding is adding Frozen, Rapunzel and new themed plazas.)

• Adventure Way: A brand-new central hub called “Adventure Way” will welcome guests into Disney Adventure World. It features storybook architecture and will be the stage for that Cascade of Lights show. Along this promenade guests will find new dining (like a Princess-themed restaurant called Regal View) and shops (Arendelle Boutique for Frozen merch).

• Other New Experiences: In addition to Frozen and Tangled, the park will debut character dining with Princesses and a Rapunzel-themed restaurant. And of course, the iconic nighttime spectacular is completely new and technological.

In summary, Walt Disney Studios Park is being reimagined into eight “worlds” (Frozen, Marvel, Pixar, etc.) focused on Disney stories rather than studio backlots. This follows a global trend of adding popular IP to parks.

Guest Impact & Tips

• Park Closure & Reopening: Walt Disney Studios Park will essentially close for its big transformation and reopen on March 29, 2026 as Disney Adventure World. Between now and then, guests may see construction walls, occasional ride closures, and lots of new building work. If you plan to visit early 2026, be prepared: some areas of the park (especially the former Animation Courtyard) are already being refreshed.

• Existing Attractions: Some fan-favorites will remain, like Ratatouille, Crush’s Coaster, Tower of Terror, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in their lands. The classic Cinemagique and Armageddon shows ended in 2017, and more changes are expected (for example, rumor has it that the current Animagique theatre may be repurposed). Always check the Disneyland Paris website for up-to-date attraction closures.

• Timing Your Trip: If you’re visiting after March 2026, you’ll experience the brand-new Frozen and Tangled attractions, plus the rest of Adventure World in its new theme. It will be a very different park feel! If visiting before March, you’ll see more of the old studios theme – but expect construction areas. There’s no word yet on extra soft openings or previews for Frozen World.

• No More Pixar Kiosk: As noted, that Pixar store will not be there for the foreseeable future. Pixar-themed merchandise will likely move into other stores (like Toy Story Boutique or the new shops). If you had your eye on specific Pixar souvenirs at WDS, plan accordingly.

• Excited for Frozen? Disney’s parks in Tokyo and Hong Kong already have Frozen lands, so Paris’s addition is highly anticipated. For Walt Disney Studios Park, the World of Frozen promises to be a showstopper – perfect for families and Frozen fans.

In short, the overnight removal of that small Pixar kiosk is a signal of big changes ahead. Walt Disney Studios Park is transforming its identity around beloved stories. Whether you’re a Paris local or planning a trip, know that Disney Adventure World will debut on March 29, 2026. Until then, expect a lot of construction and a taste of what’s to come.

Until next time, keep believing in magic. — Behind the Wish
