Disneyland Paris Announces New Hotel & Phase 2 of Disney Village Expansion 1

Disneyland Paris Plans Major Expansion with New Hotel, Disney Village Growth, and Val d’Europe Projects by 2036

Disneyland Paris is on the brink of a major transformation, with a sweeping master plan set to redefine the resort and its surrounding community by 2036. Local authorities have unveiled updates that promise not only an enhanced guest experience but also significant developments in hospitality, retail, and urban infrastructure, according to reporting by the DLP report on X.

Disneyland Paris Announces New Hotel & Phase 2 of Disney Village Expansion 2

At the heart of this ambitious vision is a brand-new hotel set to rise along the shores of Lake Disney, replacing the Events Arena, which was renovated just three years ago. This new addition will become the seventh hotel at Disneyland Paris, offering a grand retreat for visitors while featuring a state-of-the-art convention center just across the street. Positioned at the gateway to the resort, it aims to cater to both vacationers and business travelers, further establishing Disneyland Paris as a premier European destination.

Beyond accommodations, the evolution of Disney Village continues with the highly anticipated second phase of its transformation. Originally announced in 2018, this revitalization effort seeks to modernize the bustling entertainment district, bringing fresh shopping, dining, and leisure experiences to guests. The ongoing updates reflect Disney’s commitment to enhancing every facet of the guest experience, blending the magic of the parks with an elevated lifestyle hub just steps away.

Disneyland Paris Announces New Hotel & Phase 2 of Disney Village Expansion 3

But the magic isn’t contained within the resort’s borders. Disneyland Paris’s influence extends into Val d’Europe, the town developed in partnership with Disney, which is poised for further expansion. Plans include new office and housing projects, reinforcing the area’s role as a thriving economic and residential hub. As Disneyland Paris grows, so too does the community that surrounds it, fostering a unique synergy between tourism and everyday life.

With a clear roadmap for the future, Disneyland Paris is preparing to welcome a new era of innovation, hospitality, and immersive experiences. As these projects take shape over the coming years, they will redefine not just the resort but the very landscape of this beloved destination.

Walt Disney Company Hosts Donation Drives for LA Fire Relief

Disney Launches Donation Drives for LA Fire Relief Efforts

The Walt Disney Company is stepping up to support the Los Angeles community in the wake of devastating wildfires. The company recently hosted donation drives to help those impacted. With many residents facing the loss of homes, belongings, and basic necessities, the need for assistance is urgent. Disney VoluntEARS are working alongside community organizations like Shelter Partnership, Helping Hands, and LAUSD to collect and distribute essential items to affected families and individuals.

“Since the moment this disaster hit, our employees have been asking what they can do to help,” said Lisa Haines, senior vice president, Corporate Social Responsibility, The Walt Disney Company. “The Disney VoluntEARS team quickly mobilized to put on one of the largest disaster relief drives our company has done, collecting more than 200,000 items from employees and Cast Members across the company. This outpouring of support is just one of the many ways we are coming together to help those who have lost so much.”

Donation Drive at The Walt Disney Studios Lot

Disney hosted a Los Angeles Area Fire Relief Donation Drive at The Walt Disney Studios Lot in Burbank and packaged over 127,000 essential items for those affected. Nearly 1,000 cast members and employees from across Southern California donated new items and volunteered to count, sort, and pack items such as hygiene essentials, baby supplies, games and toys. The teams at Fox, Hulu, and ABC satellite offices also collected items to contribute to the larger drive.

“Disney’s magic is in our people, and seeing the Disney VoluntEARS in action pulls at my heartstrings. I love that we’re providing a little bit of comfort and happiness to families who have been impacted by the fires,” said Kym Belzer, senior manager, Corporate Social Responsibility, The Walt Disney Company. “Events like this give an outlet for employees to be a part of something, especially rebuilding the lives of the families who have been impacted by the fires.”

Leading by example, executives and their teams came to help alongside hundreds of Disney VoluntEARS.

Disneyland Resort Donation Drive

In the Disneyland Resort spirit, more than 60 Anaheim-based Disney VoluntEARS, including Disney Ambassador of Disneyland Resort Raul Aquino Rojas, collected and sorted essential items donated by hundreds of Disneyland Resort cast members to support those impacted in the local community.

“I’m so proud to see our Disneyland Resort cast members come together to provide relief for the communities affected by the fires,” Rojas said. “Every contribution, no matter how small, helps rebuild lives — reminding us all that together, we can overcome anything.”

The event also brought teams together, as some Disneyland Resort cast members were personally impacted by the fires. One cast member, Jennifer Santillan, manager, Guest Talent & Imagination Campus, was able to reunite at the event with a fellow cast member who lost her home.

“You want to always think of a way to help, a way to think outside the box and help those that are in need, and the best way is to take action. Today, I get to take action in helping those that will need these items, need some joy and need one less thing to worry about,” Santillan said.

By the end of the event, Disneyland Resort had collected more than 50,000 essential items and supplies to contribute to wildfire relief efforts.

Volunteering is an important and enduring part of Disney’s DNA, and Disney VoluntEARS have collectively contributed more than 13 million hours of service to their communities since the program’s inception in 1983.

Sebastian’s Bistro at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Set to Close for Refurbishment

Sebastian's Bistro at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort Set to Close for Refurbishment 1

Sebastian’s Bistro Closing for Refurbishment in March 2025

If your taste buds have been craving the island-inspired flavors of Sebastian’s Bistro at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, you might want to plan a visit soon! Beginning March 24, 2025, Sebastian’s Bistro will temporarily close for refurbishment, with Disney expecting to reopen the restaurant by the end of March. Guests staying at the resort may notice construction activity in the area while the work is underway.

A Caribbean Culinary Gem

Since opening in 2018 as part of Caribbean Beach’s resort-wide transformation, Sebastian’s Bistro has been a fan-favorite spot for laid-back tropical dining with a waterfront view. The restaurant, nestled along the Old Port Royale promenade, whisks guests away to “island time” with a family-style feast infused with Latin and Caribbean flavors.

Every meal at Sebastian’s Bistro kicks off with their famous Buttery House-Baked Pull-Apart Rolls, served with Guava Butter and Caramelized Onion Jam—a combination that keeps guests coming back for more. The Taste of the Caribbean entrée offers a little bit of everything, featuring Oven-Roasted Citrus Chicken, Slow-Cooked Mojo Pork, Grilled Chili-Rubbed Beef, and Sustainable Baked Fish, all paired with Cilantro Rice and Beans, Candied Plantains, and Roasted Seasonal Vegetables.

For those looking to elevate the experience, optional add-ons include Fried Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce or Crab and Seafood Cakes with Tropical Mango Slaw and Guajillo Aïoli. But no meal at Sebastian’s Bistro is complete without Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding, a fan-favorite dessert served with Caramel Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream.

An Ideal Location with Skyliner Perks

One of the best perks of dining at Sebastian’s Bistro is its prime location. Guests traveling to and from EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios can enjoy a scenic ride on the Disney Skyliner, which stops right at Caribbean Beach Resort. This makes it a perfect dining destination before or after a park day.

What’s Next for Sebastian’s Bistro?

While Disney hasn’t revealed specific details about the scope of the refurbishment, it’s likely aimed at keeping Sebastian’s Bistro fresh and inviting for future guests. Considering this resteraunt just opened back in 2018, and the week long closure period noted by Disney, an extensive re-theme is unlikely. Guests staying at Caribbean Beach Resort during this refurbishment period can still enjoy Centertown Market, Banana Cabana, and Spyglass Grill.

If you’re hoping to savor one last meal before the temporary closure, be sure to book an advance dining reservation before March 24, 2025. In the meantime, stay tuned for updates on the reopening—we’ll be watching to see what’s cooking! 🌴🍽✨
