By 2022, the year of the thirtieth anniversary of Disneyland Paris, Sleeping Beauty Castle, symbol of the park, will be closed for


It is an unprecedented rehabilitation.

With a medium-term objective: the 30 years of Disneyland Paris, April 12, 2022. On this date, the Sleeping Beauty castle, an iconic image of the amusement park and a favorite place for visitors eager for souvenir photos, should shine again after a little over a year of work.

These are due to start next January, Euro Disney announced this week.

“We have been preparing this site for two years.

We will work with the best artisans in France.

For roofs, for example, we team up with people who also work on historical monuments such as Notre Dame de Paris, says Tracy Eck, artistic director for Disneyland Park.

We are going to rebuild some towers entirely off-site, remove the old ones using a crane and put the new ones in place.

It's a bit the same method as that used to build the castle in 1990. "

During these works, the castle will no longer have its usual appearance.

And when the park reopens, in February if all goes well, we can still pass under the castle but it will be clad with scaffolding and covered with a tarpaulin illustrated with his effigy in order to create the illusion.

“We are aware of the importance of the castle and we make sure that our guests, when they arrive, can take a photo with the image of the castle behind,” adds Tracy Eck.

Disneyland Paris hopes to create the illusion with this tarpaulin illustrated on the castle.
