The rail regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), had announced it had approved Virgin Trains application to run up to 20 new daily return services from London to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, after being granted pre-approval to access tracks up to the Channel Tunnel from October 2030.

This means Virgin Trains has passed another key regulatory hurdle towards starting the international services, after being granted access last October to share Eurostar’s Temple Mills depot in east London to maintain and store trains.

New concept art for The Lion King attraction presently being built in Disney Adventure World had been unveiled which will feature a scene dedicated to the final confrontation between Scar and Simba.

“Be prepared for sensational news!” A brand-new Audio-Animatronics® figure of Scar will debut in the upcoming attraction inspired by The Lion King, currently under construction at Disney Adventure World. In new concept art revealed during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disneyland Paris unveiled a new confrontation scene in the attraction, with the treacherous villain standing in Simba’s path to become king of the Pride Lands – a scenery directly inspired by the iconic climax of the 1994 Walt Disney Animation Studios classic.

This attraction will be the centerpiece of the first immersive world based on The Lion King. Construction began in Fall 2025, with foundation work completed next to the banks of Adventure Bay, near World of Frozen. Designed to transport guests into the heart of the African savanna, the area is already beginning to take shape, with its first building structures now rising from the ground.

At the heart of this immersive world, a spectacular new water-based attraction will invite families on a thrilling journey through iconic scenes from The Lion King. Brought to life through state-of-the-art visual effects, Audio-Animatronics® figures – Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, Scar and more – and the film’s beloved soundtrack, this adventure will navigate an exciting path with three exhilarating drops including an impressive 16-meter-high descent from the iconic Pride Rock.

“The teams at Walt Disney Imagineering, Disneyland Paris and Disney Animation are hard at work bringing to life the beloved world of The Lion King, which has captivated audiences for more than three decades. We believe this epic story was also embraced thanks to its unforgettable villain, so we are excited to lift the curtain on Scar’s presence in this major attraction. Thanks to an extraordinary level of detail, our guests will experience the very heart of the film’s story, its emotion and thrills, in an entirely new way,” said Michel den Dulk, Vice President Portfolio Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering Paris.

A brand-new daytime parade is coming to Disneyland Paris in 2028.

A Disney parade is one of the most iconic experiences guests associate with Disney parks around the world, and Disneyland Paris is bringing that magic to life in a defining way. For the first time since 2017, the Disneyland Park will unveil a stunning new daytime parade, unique to Disneyland Paris, which will become a new anchor of the daytime entertainment offering at the park.

Led by Mickey Mouse and his pals, this daily parade will honor the timeless Disney magic and the power of dreams with elegant, state-of-the art new floats welcoming beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios films such as the Genie and Jasmine from Aladdin, Tiana from The Princess and the Frog and Rapunzel from Tangled , as well as friends like Miguel from Disney and Pixar’s Coco.

"Parades are part of the DNA of a Disney Park, and this one raises the bar. From the float designs and costumes to the music, every element has been carefully crafted with passion and a lot of heart. What excites me most is how creativity speaks across generations: timeless stories that both parents and kids will adore. We’re confident it will be a magical celebration that will captivate guests of all ages." said Dana Harrel, Vice President Entertainment at Disneyland Paris.

Space Mountain - De la Terre à la Lune is returning to Disneyland Paris!

“When Space Mountain first opened in 1995, it set a new standard as one of the most groundbreaking and immersive roller coasters across all Disney Parks. Today, as Imagineers, it is both an honor and an exciting challenge to reimagine this iconic attraction for a new generation. While staying true to the spirit and legacy of the original voyage, this new version will make use of all the innovations and cutting-edge technology introduced over the years in the attraction, to deliver an even more exciting experience for our guests,” said Keith Rector, Senior Manager, Creative Art Direction at Walt Disney Imagineering Paris.

Space Mountain - De la Terre à la Lune will mark a definitive milestone in a new phase of the ‘New Magic’ initiative recently launched at Disneyland Paris. This ambitious program aims at improving the guest experience and refreshing its classic attractions to surprise and delight all generations of guests.

Most recently, enhanced scenery has been added to the banks of Rivers of the Far West in Frontierland, based on Disney Legend and Imagineer Marc Davis’ original designs, with several other projects at different stages of development that will be unveiled in phases.

Driven by the Walt Disney Imagineering Paris team, whose remarkable passion fuels every concept, design, and build, these projects are just the beginning of many more exceptional moments ahead for Disneyland Paris.

Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain will close in 2027 for the extensive renovation works required to see the return of Space Mountain - De la Terre à la Lune to Discoveryland.

Since the beginning of summer 2026, new payment terminals have been gradually rolled out across both parks of Disneyland Paris, in shops as well as food and beverage locations.

In collaboration with Official Partner Visa, teams from Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, Maintenance, Information Technology, Central Workshops and Corporate Alliances & Partnerships worked hand in hand over several months to design and create these payment terminals – a first for a Disney Park.

To further enhance the immersive experience for guests visiting Disneyland Paris, considerable effort has gone into ensuring that each terminal blends seamlessly into the themed environment in which it is located. Ten unique designs have been created, each inspired by a different setting: either one of the five lands of Disneyland Park or one of the immersive worlds of Disney Adventure World, from Avengers Campus and World of Frozen to World Premiere Plaza.

From the decorative casing to the plaque displaying the accepted payment methods, every detail has been carefully designed to reflect its surroundings. Whether sculpted in the shape of a crown for Fantasyland, engraved with a crocus flower for World of Frozen, or featuring the iconic Luxo Ball for Worlds of Pixar, no detail has been overlooked.

Combining resin and aluminium, these themed casings were designed by Walt Disney Imagineering Paris in collaboration with several teams from the Central Workshops, who brought together their expertise in metalworking, engraving and painting to bring the project to life. For the occasion, the Imagineers also created on-screen animations for the terminals, including a treasure chest opening in Adventureland, or a piece of cheese mysteriously being nibbled away at La Place de Rémy.

In total, more than 500 payment terminals will be replaced across shopping and dining locations throughout Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World, with the full rollout scheduled for completion in August 2026.
