Disneyland Paris Refurbishments 2015

Closure and refurbishment dates for Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park

This article is essentially a timeline of the majority of the attraction and restaurant refurbishments that took place at Disneyland Paris in 2015. Hopefully you’ll find it a useful record of the changes that took place in the parks that year.

You’ll notice that the words “closed” and “reopened” are underlined. Where possible I’ve included links back to the original tweets, to make my sources clear.
