[News] 🚨⚠️🦁 New details for World of Lion King at #DisneyAdventureWorld

➡️ The project, in development since 2022, began construction last year shortly after its permit was approved & promises a “unique & a deeper level of immersion than ever before".

➡️The entire #WorldofLionKing land will span more than 30,000 m², with a Pride Rock rising 37m high, and will also include:
➖ A 14,000 m² flume type attraction (largest show building ever constructed at #DisneylandParis)
➖ A shop integrated at the attraction exit,
➖ A food kiosk, restrooms,
➖ A character meet'n'greet area...
➡️ 🎢 The attraction will re-tell the story of Simba through its iconic musics across 19 scenes, featuring 2 lifts, 3 drops, combining bioluminescent technology, detailed environments or advanced Audio-Animatronics! But also:
➖ A gigantic final scene⚠️,
➖ A 16-meter final drop,
➖ A dual-platform loading station (more capacity).
➡️ 🌳 🇹🇿 Vegetation will rely on locally adapted plant species carefully shaped to recreate the African savanna atmosphere:
➖ Themed pathways & landscape designed to shield visual intrusions from Adventure Bay,
➖ A giant baobab tree dedicated to Rafiki,
➖ Buildings inspired by traditional Tanzanian architecture!

➡️ 🚧 Following the completion of major earthworks in late 2025, the project has now entered the vertical construction phase, marking the next stage in the development of this new immersive world:
➖ Follow step by step evolution, with aerials, analysis or live reports on #DLPWorks

[News] 🚧🧞‍♂️ Where is the balcony above Aladdin’s “Passage Enchanté”?

➡️ Since February 2025, the beautiful oriental balcony above the entrance has been missing, with a casing installed to cover the opening.
➡️ No official explanation has been provided. The removal may be linked to the deteriorating condition of the wooden structure.
➡️ The surrounding concrete has since been painted to match the façade, raising questions about whether the balcony will ever return at #DisneylandParis

📝 What do you think, will the balcony be back?

➡️ On the bridge itself, the drawbridge chains & light fixtures still need to be reinstalled.
