An award for Disney Adventure World
Disneyland Paris's second park receives the European Park of the Year award.
Disney Adventure World is among the winners of the 2026 Parksmania Awards. For those who follow the development of Disneyland Paris, this award provides an opportunity to look at the second park as a whole, beyond a particular attraction or setting.
What award did Disney Adventure World win?
The park received the European Park of the Year title at the 25th edition of the Parksmania Awards on October 9, 2026 at Movieland – The Hollywood Park in Lazise, Italy. Disneyland Paris shared this distinction on October 14. Read the official announcement from Disneyland Paris News.
This is the award for the ceremony organized by Parksmania.it. It is best to keep its exact name rather than turning it into a universal ranking of all European parks.
New features highlighted by Disneyland Paris
In its press release, Disneyland Paris links this award to the transformation of Disney Adventure World. The destination notably highlights World of Frozen, the Adventure Way and Adventure Bay areas, as well as the Disney Cascade of Lights nighttime show, combining aerial and aquatic drones. The points highlighted in the official press release.
To prepare for your visit, start with your desires rather than the award list: a universe to explore, an attraction that appeals to you, or an evening around a show. Note your priorities, then check how they are operating on the date of your visit. An award does not provide information about the daily program, wait times, or the weather.
How to turn this news into a visit idea?
- Choose your guiding theme. Do you prefer to discover the settings, go on attractions, or save time for photos?
- Plan a buffer. Avoid scheduling appointments too close together; leave room for breaks and unexpected discoveries.
- Check the practical information. Before you leave, check the opening hours, access conditions, and any unavailability with Disneyland Paris.

And what about souvenirs?
A setting or character discovered during a visit can become the starting point of a collection. Before buying, think about where you will place your souvenir and keep the exact reference of the model you like. You will avoid confusion between several versions of the same character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this distinction guarantee a visit without waiting?
No. An award rewards a park; it does not predict the crowds on your day or the operating conditions. Build your program with the official information available for your date.
Should you choose all your souvenirs before the visit?
You can prepare a small list of desires, without feeling obliged to complete it. A photo and a precise reference will help you recognize the model you are looking for; they do not guarantee its availability.
