There are strong rumours that a long term investment plan has been put into place at DLP, part of which will be directly funded by the Walt Disney Company rather than as in the past funded by the resort. A report by a respected DLP fan has been compiled based on info from various sources (I have linked article below) with the 2015-2017 plans being very likely to happen and the 2018+ plans are obviously at this stage subject to change. I have put a summary of the rumoured plan below-
Disneyland Park (Funded by Directly by Disneyland Paris)
-2015 Space Mountain to shut in Jan for 6 months for a total refurb including new trains plus new show and effects. Also rumoured to return to the original story line (from the earth to the moon)
-2016- Star Wars 3D; The adventure continues (Star tours set to close mid 2015 and ride upgrade expected to take 6 months) could possibly open in Dec 2015 in time for new star wars film)
-2016-Big Thunder Mountain to be closed for 12 month for a Full refurb which will inc extra capacity on each train and possibly a full interactive queue like the one added at DW. The lake to be drained with the geyser effect to return.
-Disney Village to get a overhaul and new look and will inc a big new iconic restaurant
-2014-2017-Hotels to be refurbished- the aim is also to have a Michelin starred chef and restaurant in place at the Disneyland Hotel
-Park to focus on 4 seasons throughout the year with current events and decoration etc to be expanded upon.
Walt Disney Studios (Funded by Walt Disney Company)
This is a complete over-hall of the park and allow place making and retheming to bring park upto standard and allow future expansion (much like what they did at California Adventure and Hongkong Disneyland)
-Backlot Retheme- The whole backlot area is expected to be rethemed into a Marvel Area (initially area in two parts, New York themed area and a Stark Expo area) that will inc retheme of the existing attractions -
-Rock N Roller Coaster will become Spiderman themed with the trains flying through new York sky scrapers (facade will become the daily Bugle)
-Armageddon will become the fantastic Four
-The Stunt Show will have an Agents of Shield theme
-2018-Toy Story Mania added to Toy Storyland
-Front Lot and Studio 1 will be rethemed into an immersive experience representing Walt Disney Studios from 1930.
Animation Courtyland, la Place des Stars and Hollywood Boulevard will also undergo works to make them more immersive and add a cohesive nature to the park.
2018 onwards
The current roadmap includes the following
-2000 seat theatre next to its a small world
-Star Wars Land added next to Star Tours
-Soarin' over the Horizon will be added next to the Indiana jones attraction
-New E-Ticket Ride at Studio based on the avengers, Plan is a similar system to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey but include 3D screens
-New Hotel built in the Marvel area of the studios
-Hollywood Boulevard will become a real street with a Tramway running through it (think Red Car Trolley in Disney's California Adventure park), with shows and restaurants leading to a hub. One plan even calls for the construction of a real Hollywood hillside.
-The final plan on the roadmap is a clone of Avatar Land to be added.
