Disneyland Paris is not just giving Disney Village a little paint and calling it a transformation. The next round includes a brand-new Disney store, restaurant changes, a renovated cinema, and more updates running into 2027.
The first date to put on the calendar is September 22, 2026. That is when Disney Wonders opens, according to the official Disney Parks Blog announcement.
Disney Wonders opens September 22
Disney describes Disney Wonders as a new shopping destination built around its stories. The outside will feature artwork inspired by Star Wars, Peter Pan, and Toy Story, while the interior includes two chandeliers with more than 40 character illustrations.
The store is joining an already pretty substantial shopping lineup. Disney Village also has Deco by Disney for home items and collectibles, Disney Glamour for fashion and jewelry, Disney Style for more casual apparel and accessories, World of Disney, a LEGO Store, and Pelé Soccer.
If your group treats post-park shopping like an attraction—and I absolutely understand those people—Disney Wonders is the immediate reason to update the itinerary.
A new Italian restaurant is coming later in 2026
Casa Giulia is expected to open at the end of 2026 near one of Disney Village’s main entrances. Disney says the two-level restaurant will focus on Italian favorites, seasonal ingredients, drinks, and cocktails.
There will also be a faster option called Giulia Express with pizza by the slice, focaccia, pastries, and gelato. That detail matters because sometimes a sit-down meal is lovely, and sometimes everyone needs food now before the wheels come off the vacation.
Vapiano is also scheduled for a full refurbishment beginning at the end of 2026. The plan includes brighter interiors, refreshed terraces, new landscaping, and a children’s play area upstairs, with completion expected in early 2027.
Annette’s Diner is closing for a major refresh
Annette’s Diner has been part of Disney Village since 1992. It is due to reopen in 2027 with a refreshed 1950s-inspired design, including booth seating based on vintage car interiors, restored jukeboxes, and a renovated dining room.
Other current food options named by Disney include Brasserie Rosalie, Sports Bar & Lounge, Billy Bob’s Country Western Bar, Five Guys, and McDonald’s. Availability can change during construction, so check the official Disneyland Paris listings close to your visit instead of building the entire day around an old screenshot.
The cinema renovation starts in September
Pathé Cinema is getting its own phased renovation. Disney says the work begins in September while the theater remains mostly open, with the larger project planned for 2027.
The final version is expected to include renovated auditoriums with recliner seating, upgraded projection, a Pathé Café, expanded food and beverage options, a redesigned Häagen-Dazs area with an outdoor terrace, and a new games area.
There is a holiday scavenger hunt too
Disney Enchanted Christmas will extend into Disney Village with new trees, giant snowflakes inspired by Disney stories, festive lighting, and photo spots. A new interactive activity will ask guests to find characters hidden in the snowflake decorations.
Disney says people who find them all can receive an exclusive holiday ornament at Sports Bar & Lounge. That is the kind of small, free-with-effort vacation extra I would make time for, especially if the group is already passing through Disney Village.
What this means for a 2026 or 2027 trip
For a visit on or after September 22, Disney Wonders is the confirmed new stop. Late-2026 travelers may also see Casa Giulia and the start of the Vapiano work. In 2027, the bigger planning variables are Annette’s reopening, the completed cinema renovation, and the next phase of the South Block transformation.
The practical move is to treat Disney Village as part of the trip rather than merely the walkway between the parks and hotels. Build in time for the things your group actually wants—shopping, dinner, or the cinema—then check the latest official operating details before arrival.
And if your next Disney trip is stateside, we also have the newly released Disney After Hours 2027 dates and prices.
