Disneyland Paris 2027 Events & Activities: What’s Confirmed So Far?

🎁 Disneyland Paris 2027 Events & Activities: What’s Confirmed So Far?

Planning a Disneyland Paris trip in 2027?

There’s already plenty happening across the resort – but it’s important to separate confirmed 2027 events and attractions from the 35th Anniversary rumours.

Disneyland Paris officially turns 35 on 12 April 2027.

However, as of September 2026, Disney has not announced a dedicated 35th Anniversary entertainment programme.

That means there’s currently no confirmed 35th Anniversary parade, fireworks show, merchandise range, special food programme or celebration season.

So here’s what you can genuinely plan around in 2027 – and what we’re still waiting to hear about.

🎭 Alice & the Queen of Hearts Returns in Spring 2027

One of the biggest confirmed entertainment announcements for 2027 is the return of:

Alice & the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland.

Disney has confirmed the show will return to Disney Adventure World in spring 2027. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The show combines:

• 🎸 Pop-rock music
• 🤸 Acrobatics
• 🚲 BMX performers
• 🎭 Alice and the Queen of Hearts
• 🎨 A huge colourful stage set

Disney describes the production as a modern, high-energy take on Alice in Wonderland.

An exact 2027 start date hasn’t yet been announced.

🎈 Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings Opens in 2027

Disney Adventure World will also get a completely new attraction during 2027.

Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings is an Up-inspired flying-chair carousel being built on Adventure Way opposite Raiponce Tangled Spin.

The attraction will feature:

• 🎈 An Up-inspired theme
• 💺 64 places across 48 chairs
• 👫 Duo chairs allowing some guests to ride together
• 🌿 A new themed garden
• 📖 References to Carl, Ellie and Russell’s adventures

Disney says it will open during 2027, but hasn’t announced the exact date yet.

If this attraction is high on your list, don’t choose early-2027 dates specifically for it until Disney confirms the opening date.

---

❄️ World of Frozen & Disney Adventure World

2027 will also be the first full calendar year with guests experiencing the major transformation of Disney Adventure World.

That includes:

• ❄️ World of Frozen
• 🚤 Frozen Ever After
• 🌊 Adventure Bay
• 🌸 Adventure Way
• 🏮 Raiponce Tangled Spin
• 🎆 Disney Cascade of Lights

Disney describes Adventure Way as a major new promenade connecting the park’s immersive worlds, with themed gardens and new attractions.

For many visitors, these new areas will probably be a bigger reason to book 2027 than the 35th birthday itself.

---

🎆 Disney Cascade of Lights

Disney Adventure World’s nighttime spectacular gives visitors another major evening experience beyond Disneyland Park.

Disney Cascade of Lights uses Adventure Bay as its setting and is part of the transformed second park.

That means 2027 visitors will already have a major new nighttime experience to plan around.

This is also one reason we’d be cautious about assuming Disney must launch a completely separate 35th Anniversary fireworks or drone show.

---

🐢 Crush’s Coaster Expected Back in Summer 2027

Crush’s Coaster isn’t an event, but its closure can make a big difference when choosing 2027 dates.

The attraction closed on 7 September 2026 for its most extensive technical refurbishment since opening.

Disney expects it to remain unavailable until summer 2027.

So if Crush’s Coaster is a must-do attraction for your family, a later-2027 trip may make more sense.

An exact reopening date hasn’t been announced yet.

---

🎂 What Will Happen on 12 April 2027?

This is the obvious question.

Disneyland Paris officially turns 35 on Monday 12 April 2027.

Could there be special entertainment, character appearances, merchandise or photo opportunities?

Yes.

Has Disney announced any of that yet?

No.

So if you’re booking specifically because you want to experience the 35th birthday, keep an eye on announcements before assuming what the day will include.

🎠 Will There Be a New 35th Anniversary Parade?

At the moment, nothing has been announced for 2027.

And there’s now an important development.

Disney has confirmed that a completely new daytime parade will debut at Disneyland Park in 2028.

It will be Disneyland Paris’ first entirely new daytime parade since 2017.

That makes us less confident that Disney will also launch a completely new daytime parade specifically for the 35th Anniversary in 2027.

There could still be:

• 🎉 Anniversary additions to existing entertainment
• 🎭 Special character moments
• ✨ Limited birthday entertainment

But don’t book 2027 expecting a brand-new anniversary parade unless Disney announces one.

---

🎆 Will There Be 35th Anniversary Fireworks or a Drone Show?

Again, nothing has been confirmed.

Disneyland Paris has plenty of experience with:

• 🎆 Fireworks
• 🏰 Castle projections
• 🚁 Drone shows
• 🌊 Fountain spectaculars

So anniversary additions are certainly possible.

But at present there is no confirmed 35th Anniversary nighttime spectacular.

Treat any specific drone-show or fireworks claims as rumours until Disney announces them.

---

🛍️ Will There Be 35th Anniversary Merchandise?

We think commemorative merchandise is one of the more believable predictions.

Disney has produced special merchandise for previous milestone celebrations.

But there is currently no official 35th Anniversary merchandise range announced for 2027.

So don’t treat specific products such as:

• 🎀 Anniversary ears
• 👕 Spirit jerseys
• 📌 Pins
• 👜 Bags
• 🧸 Plush

as confirmed until Disney reveals the collection.

---

🍰 Will There Be Special 35th Anniversary Food?

Special food and drinks are also possible.

Disneyland Paris frequently introduces seasonal food for Halloween, Christmas and other events.

But there’s no announced 35th Anniversary food programme yet.

If Disney launches:

• 🎂 Anniversary desserts
• 🥤 Special drinks
• 🍪 Celebration snacks
• 🍽️ Limited menus

we’ll add the confirmed details here.

---

📸 Will There Be Special 35th Anniversary Photo Spots?

Possibly.

Anniversary branding and photo locations would make sense if Disney launches a wider 35th campaign.

But again, there are currently no confirmed 35th Anniversary photo backdrops or decorated areas.

2027 will still offer plenty of new photography opportunities around:

• ❄️ World of Frozen
• 🌊 Adventure Bay
• 🌸 Adventure Way
• 🎈 The new Up-inspired garden

---

🎃 Halloween 2027

Halloween should be treated as its own seasonal event rather than automatically part of a 35th Anniversary celebration.

Disney has not confirmed that any anniversary programme will continue through autumn 2027.

If Halloween is your priority, choose those dates because you want the Halloween atmosphere.

Don’t book October simply because you expect “Halloween + 35th Anniversary” entertainment.

---

🎄 Christmas 2027

The same applies to Christmas.

Christmas is already one of Disneyland Paris’ biggest seasonal periods.

But there is currently no confirmed 35th Anniversary end date, so we don’t know whether any anniversary extras will still be running by Christmas 2027.

Choose Christmas because you want the festive season – not because you’re relying on unannounced anniversary entertainment.

🎯 What Should You Actually Plan Around?

The biggest mistake would be choosing 2027 dates based entirely on anniversary entertainment that hasn’t been announced.

Instead, plan around the things we know.

• 🎂 Disneyland Paris turns 35 on 12 April
• 🎭 Alice & the Queen of Hearts returns in spring
• 🐢 Crush’s Coaster is expected back in summer
• 🎈 Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings opens during 2027
• ❄️ Disney Adventure World and World of Frozen are already major reasons to visit
• 🎆 Disney Cascade of Lights gives you a major new nighttime experience

Then treat any genuine 35th Anniversary announcements as something extra.
