Vapiano prepares for its next transformation
After ten years of operation at Disney Village, the Italian restaurant is set to be completely renovated. Good news for visitors: Disneyland Paris has announced a phased construction project, allowing the restaurant to remain open throughout the duration of the work.
The transformation of Disney Village continues. After the new shops, reimagined facades, new restaurants, and the announcement of the Pathé cinema renovation, Disneyland Paris is tackling another address well-known to visitors: Vapiano.
In an official announcement published on July 24, 2026, Disneyland Paris confirms that the "fast-casual" Italian restaurant will undergo a complete renovation starting at the end of 2026. The stated goal is to rethink and modernize its interior, offering a more contemporary experience and greater comfort for families.
A complete renovation, but not a complete closure
The most important point for visitors is likely this: Vapiano is set to remain open during the work. Disneyland Paris specifies that the renovation will be conducted in phases, in order to maintain the restaurant's operations throughout the construction project.
This method is consistent with other transformations currently underway at Disney Village. The Disney Village Pathé cinema is also slated for gradual renovation in order to continue welcoming the public during the work.
What is officially announced
Disneyland Paris confirms a comprehensive interior renovation, a more contemporary design, improved comfort for families, construction starting at the end of 2026, and completion scheduled for early 2027. The restaurant is to remain open throughout the renovation.
Why Vapiano is part of the Disney Village transformation
For several years, Disney Village has been undergoing a major transformation aimed at modernizing the area connecting the Disney Parks to the Disney Hotels. Disneyland Paris describes its ambition as focused on a more modern, warm, and dynamic shopping and dining experience.
In recent months, this evolution has become particularly visible: Disney Glamour, Disney Style, and Deco by Disney have opened, the LEGO Store has been entirely redesigned, and Disney Wonders is set to offer a new, modern, and bright space. Regarding dining and entertainment, several establishments and facades are also involved.
The renovation of Vapiano is therefore part of a much broader project, rather than an isolated modification. For regulars, this means that the appearance of Disney Village in the coming years will be significantly different from that known over the previous decade.
What will change at Vapiano?
At this stage, Disneyland Paris remains intentionally vague about the final decor. The announcement mentions a complete modernization of the interior, a more contemporary design, and increased comfort for families.
However, no detailed illustrations of the future interior, no new menu, and no modifications to the dining concept have been officially announced in this communication. Vapiano continues to be presented as a fast-casual Italian restaurant, specializing in particular in fresh pasta and customizable pizzas.
A project expected to be minimally disruptive for visitors
Maintaining operations is interesting news for those planning a stay between late 2026 and early 2027. It should therefore not be necessary to wait for the end of the renovation to be able to eat at Vapiano.
A phased construction project may, however, occasionally result in cordoned-off areas or different arrangements inside. Disneyland Paris has not yet detailed these potential adjustments, so it will be necessary to follow the information communicated as the work progresses.

Disney Village is changing rapidly
The renovation of Vapiano is another example of the accelerating transformation of Disney Village. Between new brands, recently redesigned Disney shops, and the future Pathé cinema, the area is now evolving at a steady pace.
For Disneyland Paris, the goal is also to make Disney Village a true extension of the destination experience, rather than just a passageway between the hotels, the train stations, and the two parks.
With Vapiano having been on-site for ten years, its renovation also marks a new stage in the renewal of historic or long-established businesses in this zone.
