Disneyland Abruptly Alters Park Entrance Access for Hotel Guests

Guests staying at the Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris Resort are finding their usual route to the park entrance significantly disrupted. Unfortunately, even once they reach the theme park gates, the construction doesn't stop.

The most immediate obstacle for hotel guests is in the courtyard between the Disneyland Hotel and Disneyland Park, where green plywood construction walls now surround a substantial portion of Fantasia Gardens. The landscaped display is a familiar part of the walk from the hotel to the park entrance, and its partial blockade is reshaping how guests move through the area.

X (formerly Twitter) user @PixiedustDLP documented the change at the end of April, captioning the photos:

Disneyland Paris Resort has issued no statement about what's being done to the space or how long the barriers will remain.

Guests who make it through the altered courtyard and into Disneyland Park are met with construction on multiple fronts along Main Street, U.S.A.

Just inside the entrance, the Town Square Gazebo refurbishment — which started last year — is winding down. One staircase into the Victorian structure is still closed while the final phase of work is completed, though other staircases remain open.

Further along the thoroughfare, construction walls have appeared near a popcorn cart close to Sleeping Beauty Castle. The kiosk is operating normally, but Disneyland Paris Resort has not explained the purpose of the barriers.

The most significant access restriction took effect on May 5, when the bridge leading directly into Sleeping Beauty Castle was closed for a walkway refurbishment. The castle and La Tanière du Dragon remain reachable for guests who use the available alternate entrances, but the primary path across the bridge is off-limits for now.
