Walt Disney Studios® Park at Disneyland Paris is preparing for another exciting chapter in its ongoing transformation. In early 2026, the beloved Dream Factory show will return in a refreshed and updated version, inviting guests once again to dream together in Studio D.
A Stage Reimagined
The show will reopen in Studio D, located in the Production Courtyard, which is being rebranded as World Premiere Plaza. Studio D has previously hosted various interactive productions, including Disney Junior Dream Factory and more recently Minnie’s Musical Moment.
What to Expect
Although Disney has not yet revealed full details.
The original Disney Junior Dream Factory debuted in July 2021 and quickly became a fan favorite. It featured Mickey and friends restarting dream-making machines through music and teamwork. The show ended its run on August 31, 2024. The show struggled to reach regular Disney guests; either they didn’t know there was a show there, or the use of the Disney Junior name led many tourists to assume it was still the same puppet show from years ago.
Part of a Bigger Transformation
The return of the Dream Factory is one of several changes at Walt Disney Studios Park as it continues its ambitious multi-year expansion. Other developments include:
- World Premiere Plaza (opening in 2025): A new entertainment zone featuring live shows, dining experiences, and meet-and-greets
- World of Frozen (opening 2026): A full-scale land themed around Arendelle and its characters
- The Lion King Land (date to be announced): An African-inspired area with immersive attractions
- New park identity: Walt Disney Studios Park will eventually be renamed and repositioned as Disney Adventure World
