Restaurants, shops, cinema: Disney Village, just outside Disneyland Paris, is lining up a fresh wave of changes through 2027. Casa Giulia will take over from Planet Hollywood, while the cinemas Pathé and Vapiano will follow the renovation of Annette’s Diner, with new decorations in time for Christmas. The works will then extend to the other side of the main artery, known as "Bloc Sud." This next phase will also decide the fate of Rainforest Café, which is set to close for good before the end of 2026.
The gradual overhaul of this 40,000-square-metre area accompanies the transformation of the entire resort. It notably echoes the changes at Walt Disney Studios Park, which became Disney Adventure World on March 29, 2026.
Disney Village is getting a new look without shutting its doors. The work is being carried out in phases to keep access to the shops, the restaurants, and the entertainment open. The "North Block," one of the sides of the main thoroughfare, is now nearing completion.
The revamped decor leans on brick, timber and steel, with more transparent façades that offer a glimpse inside the venues. Artistic touches inspired by Disney worlds complete this more contemporary identity. Lighting, music and original installations are also expected to enhance the night-time atmosphere. The lakefront area should likewise become nicer, thanks to a new promenade, redesigned paths and more greenery.
The destination’s stated aim is clear: to make the village more than just a quick stop between the Disney Parks and Disney Hotels. Visitors can arrive before their day in the parks, pause there, or extend the evening with a meal, a movie, or a shopping spree.
The latest opening to date, Disney Wonders welcomes visitors starting on September 22, 2026, inside the former Disney Store. The shop brings together products from the realms of Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars across thematic zones.
The façade showcases works inspired by Peter Pan, Toy Story and Star Wars, visible by day as well as at night. Inside, two central chandeliers bring together more than 40 illustrations of iconic characters and settings each. Lit display cases line the route, while the two checkout areas pay tribute to Disney Animation and Pixar respectively. Effects drawn from Tinker Bell’s dust and the Luxo Jr. lamp animate the decor.
Instead of the Planet Hollywood, Casa Giulia is set to open by the end of 2026. Located at the entrance to Disney Village, near the cinema and World of Disney, this family restaurant operated by Groupe Bertrand will span two floors.
The venue will accommodate around 600 places assises, with an outdoor terrace adding another 120 places. The menu will showcase Italian classics and evolve with the seasons, right down to the drinks selection and cocktails. On the décor side, terrazzo, bricks, wood and greenery will set the mood.
The building will also house Giulia Express, a fast-casual counter for takeaway with its own 40-seat terrace. It will offer pizzas by the slice, focaccias, pastries and ice cream.
Opened in 1997 and long operated under the Gaumont banner, the Pathé Disney Village cinema is poised to enter a new era. A first phase of work is set to begin in September 2026, ahead of a broader construction launch in the autumn. The renovation will be carried out in stages to keep the cinema largely open.
The project envisions a new façade designed by Ora-ïto, renovated theaters with reclining seats and upgraded projection systems. The public spaces will also be revamped, featuring a Pathé Café with a broader dining offering, a redesigned Häagen-Dazs area with an outdoor terrace, and a new Pathé Games space dedicated to leisure before or after the screening.
Closed since the start of 2026, Annette’s Diner is slated to reopen in the first quarter of 2027. There’s no plan to shed its American diner identity: the restaurant will retain its retro vibe while completely revamping its interiors.
The kitchens will be expanded by repurposing the old currency exchange desk and the takeout area. In the dining room, new banquettes in pink, blue and vanilla-yellow will echo the lines of 1950s car seats. Chrome, steel, pastel neon-style lighting, wallpaper dotted with burgers, milkshakes and jukeboxes: the décor will push the fifties vibe even further. The historic jukeboxes will be restored and hung on the walls, while Ben & Jerry’s will remain part of the venue.
The terrace will also return, with a paved surface and new trees planted nearby.
After a decade in operation, Vapiano will, in turn, undergo a full renovation. The works are set to begin at the end of 2026 and are due to be completed in early 2027.
The restaurant will adopt a more neutral, contemporary palette, accented with red to echo the signage, and will benefit from more natural light. A children's play area will be added on the first floor. The terrace, meanwhile, will feature new furniture and a greener, more plant-forward decor.
The transformation will extend into the holiday season. From November 2026, Disney Village will unveil new Christmas trees and oversized snowflakes inspired by Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars. New photo spots are also set to join the route.
The Sports Bar & Lounge will receive an enhanced festive decor, with crowns and garlands. An exclusive postcard may be handed out by certain Cast Members. A limited-edition Coca-Cola coaster will also be offered with the purchase of a Coca-Cola drink at the Sports Bar & Lounge, while stocks last.
The first major milestone of the transformation, Café Mickey, located near Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, has given way to Rosalie. Opened in December 2023 and run by Groupe Bertrand, this 500-seat French brasserie serves regional classics and seasonal produce, along with a seafood counter. A counter service complements the table service with pastries and other French bakery goods. The terrace overlooks Lake Disney.
Opposite it, The Royal Pub has taken over from King Ludwig’s Castle in February 2023. The menu features Guinness beef, pies, finger foods, fish and chips, and a full English breakfast, all set in decor that nods to the classic British pub vibe.
The facade of Disney Fashion Junior acted as a concept test to shape part of the street's new visual identity and to fine-tune construction techniques ahead of the forthcoming transformations.
Disney Style and Disney Glamour have welcomed visitors since March 8, 2025. Fashion, accessories, jewelry, collaborations and personalization make up the offering at Disney Style, whose decor nods repeatedly to Edna Mode, the designer behind The Incredibles. The shop also houses a macarons counter.
Disney Glamour showcases sleeker jewelry, apparel, and accessories, featuring signature pieces and capsule collections. deco by Disney, launched in April 2025, gathers home décor items, limited-edition collectibles, and prints of Disney artwork through the Art on Demand service.
Soccer fans finally have Pelé Soccer, located beside the Sports Bar & Lounge since May 2026. The shop offers jerseys and sports accessories in the spirit of its Downtown Disney and Disney Springs venues in the United States.
The LEGO Store has also been modernized in April 2025. Entrance sculptures, popular items or Disney Village-exclusive products, and interactive installations have joined the store.
Once the "Bloc Nord" is completed, Disneyland Paris will move to the opposite side of the main thoroughfare, dubbed "Bloc Sud". The initial works are slated to start in 2027. The released concept art nods to the architectural markers already visible on the street: timber, brick and perforated steel.
The future business or dining concepts have not yet been announced. One thing is certain, however: the Rainforest Café will close its doors for good by the end of 2026 as part of this new phase. Disneyland Paris plans to roll out the next changes over the coming months. The transformation of Disney Village is far from having shown its last surprise.
