McDonald’s France today, February 17, 2026, opens its brand-new restaurant in Disney Village, one day earlier than announced.
The restaurant blends into the magic of Disney Village while showcasing McDonald’s most advanced solutions in service, product quality and sustainable construction.
Twenty-seven years after the first McDonald’s opened in Disney Village, the site has been completely reimagined as an ultramodern building constructed to the highest environmental standards. After more than five years of design and construction, and an investment exceeding €20 million, the ambition was clear: to create a spectacular, high-quality experience for visitors, especially families.
The new restaurant spans three floors and offers 600 seats, including 200 on outdoor terraces. It features a panoramic elevator, 23 self-service kiosks and an exceptional service capacity supported by a dual kitchen and five dumbwaiters connecting the different levels. A team of 210 employees, speaking 16 languages, welcomes guests from around the world.
From the outset, the objective was to make this restaurant a must-visit family destination within Disney Village, with an experience that is intuitive, efficient and welcoming. Guests enter a spacious, light-filled reception area designed to simplify ordering.
They benefit from personalized service delivered by multilingual teams, can enjoy a refined McCafé space, and access the brand’s latest services, including QR code table ordering, geolocated table service and made-to-order preparation for all recipes. Younger visitors can explore a spectacular three-story indoor play area that extends the magic of Disney Village and creates lasting family memories.
Developed in close collaboration with the Disneyland Paris teams, the design combines architectural concepts developed by McDonald’s in France with decorative elements inspired by Disney stories, resulting in a truly distinctive venue.
“The opening of a McDonald’s restaurant is always a significant moment for our employees, customers and partners. Today, we are reaching a new milestone with a restaurant that showcases our full expertise in France. Our teams are eager to welcome families and visitors from around the world and create unforgettable memories. I would like to thank the Disney Village teams for their collaboration on this unique project,” said Jo Sempels, President and CEO of McDonald’s France.
“Since 1999, Disneyland Paris and McDonald’s have built a relationship based on trust and a shared vision of the guest experience. This new restaurant supports the transformation of Disney Village through a landmark project that combines innovative architecture, high-quality hospitality and seamless integration into the site’s universe. We are proud to continue this journey alongside an iconic, multigenerational brand valued by our guests, and to further enrich the experience offered to families,” said Boris Solbach, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Disneyland Paris.
