Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 31st birthday with a series of Pixar experiences and updates at the resort this year.
This summer, Disneyland Park‘s Pizzeria Bella Notte restaurant will have a new room inspired by the Disney and Pixar film Luca (2021).
Additionally, the park’s Mexican-themed restaurant Fuente Del Oro in Frontierland will become Casa de Coco – Restaurante de Familia, based on Disney and Pixar’s Coco (2017).
At Walt Disney Studios Park, Toon Plaza will be turned into an immersive experience paying tribute to Pixar films.
According to a blog post, Walt Disney Imagineering has been working with Pixar artists to create a “whimsical space”, including a backdrop featuring Ember and Wade from Disney and Pixar’s upcoming film Elemental.
Also launching at Walt Disney Studios Park is a new 30-minute show titled ‘Together: a Pixar Musical Adventure’.
This features spectacular scenic effects, innovative choreography and a live orchestra. Guests will enjoy scenes from films including Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.
In more news, Disneyland Paris’ It’s a Small World ride reopens on 5 May. More than 300 dolls, animal figurines and animated accessories, and more than 100 toys, have been refreshed.
New Pixar show and spaces
Walt Disney World and Disneyland have both introduced dolls in wheelchairs to It’s a Small World in a bid to be more inclusive. Disneyland Paris is expected to do the same.
Meanwhile, Disneyland Paris has started building the final phase of the largest solar canopy plant in Europe, due to be finished at the end of 2023.
Upon completion, the solar plant will produce 36 GWh/year, which is equivalent to the annual energy consumption of a town of 17,400 people.
