Lion King Land

Welcome to the Pride Lands

At the D23 Expo in Anaheim on August 10, 2024, exciting news was announced for Disneyland Paris. Disney Adventure World (the new name of Walt Disney Studios Park) will be the first Disney park in the world to receive a Lion King Land.
Josh D'Amaro unveiled that Disneyland Paris will get an area dedicated to one of the most popular Disney films of all time: The Lion King. This new area, which will be built on the shores of the lake at Disney's Adventure World, will take you on a journey through the African Savanna. Here you will immerse yourself in the adventures of Simba, Timon, Pumba and other well-known characters from the Disney film.
The central element of the new themed area will be Pride Rock, around which a breathtaking water attraction will be built. This attraction will allow you to experience the story of Simba as he develops from a little cub to the king of the lions. The design and story of the water ride will be based on the classic Disney animated film from 1994.

The attraction, which is reminiscent of the classic Disney animated film Splash Mountain, is not the only thing that Lion King Land has to offer. In this new area, you will enter the world of Pride Lands. Here you will be greeted by Disney characters, and you will find a themed restaurant and various shopping opportunities. Disney promises an unforgettable experience in which guests of all ages can immerse themselves in the world of the Lion King.

Hello Lion King - Goodbye Star Wars

While we are delighted about the announced Lion King area, for which work is expected to begin in early 2025, there is also a touch of disappointment. Because now it is official: the originally announced Star Wars Land will not be built. 
This is no longer a sensation, as those responsible at Disneyland Paris have been keeping a very low profile in this regard for a few years now, and Star Wars has quietly disappeared from all press releases. But many fans still had a ray of hope.
With the new announcement, the construction site where the Star Wars Land was to be built is now at least partly occupied by the Pride Lands. This is clearly visible in the concept drawing.
It is not yet sure whether there will be a Star Wars area at another location in Disneyland Paris in the future. For now, however, now all eyes are on The Lion King.
