Disneyland Paris has finished its anniversary conference updating us on its upcoming projects at Walt Disney Studios Park. The first of which is the park’s new name: Disney Adventure World. So far, the name has received mixed responses from fans but time will tell whether it will grow on everyone.
Disney also gave us a lew of other announcements and updates, which we gathered into one neat little roundup for you. Big thanks to Josh M. Jones for making the header image and for helping bring the article and news together!
