The 2022 D23 Expo was packed with announcements for various Disney parks.
Disney revealed a lot of exciting projects — Tiana-themed additions and park expansions in Disneyland Resort and nighttime shows and possible land reimagining in Disney World. And international parks got a lot of huge announcements too — check them all out here!
Disneyland Paris

Frozen will also be a major part of the retheme happening at Disneyland Hotel in Paris.
“Frozen” is also one of the stories playing a role in the royal transformation of the iconic 5-star Disneyland Hotel in Paris. Every guest room and all the communal areas are being rethemed, taking inspiration from classics like “Cinderella,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Tangled,” & more. pic.twitter.com/E3lYC31QvL

Rooms will also be inspired by Tangled, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.
Tokyo Disney Resort
In 2024, Tokyo Disneyland’s Space Mountain will “undergo a transformation that will bring a new story and experience to the iconic attraction.” The renovation should be complete by 2027.
