New restaurants in the reimagined theme park include the Frozen-inspired Nordic Crowns Tavern and the Disney princess-themed Regal View Restaurant & Lounge.
Starting with the Nordic Crowns Tavern, this will be a cosy, welcoming dining establishment based on Frozen.
Located close to the harbour, the tavern features warm, wood-panelled décor with nautical theming and elements, as well as official portraits of Elsa and Anna.
Other nods to the Frozen stories include portraits of Olaf, Lieutenant Mattias, and the water spirit Nokk.
A cat perched above the entrance door is inspired by one of two cats that appear in 2017 short film Olaf’s Frozen Adventure. The other cat can be found at Golden Crocus Inn at Hong Kong Disneyland.
For the exterior design, the teams at Walt Disney Imagineering took inspiration from Bergen in Norway, particularly its UNESCO-listed Bryggen district.
“We also applied Anna and Elsa’s colours to the two buildings at the entrance to Nordic Crowns Tavern, with green on one side and blue and purple on the other, echoing the dresses they wear at Elsa’s coronation,” said Emma Yeates, senior manage of show design at Walt Disney Imagineering in Paris.
As for F&B, Disneyland Paris' food and beverage teams have created a menu based on Norwegian and broader Scandinavian cuisine.
The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge, meanwhile, is situated between the gardens of Adventure Way, right next to Adventure Bay.
Described as the summer residence for Disney princess characters, the restaurant includes several references to Raya from 2021 film Raya and the Last Dragon, Disneyland Paris has revealed.
"We wanted to make sure that the Disney princess characters were represented in a style that felt suitable for the restaurant," said Bowie Faas, principal creative producer at Walt Disney Imagineering.
"We therefore created these unique portraits in an Art Nouveau style, specifically designed for the Regal View Restaurant & Lounge."
"The result is sophisticated and blends perfectly with the setting," he added.
