Le Pays des Contes de Fées, presented by Vittel

On the reopening day, Looopings reported on a behind-the-scenes video from Disneyland Paris about Le Pays des Contes de Fées. The video showed what happened during the months-long refurbishment: new scenes were designed and built, existing miniatures received attention, and the presentation of the attraction was updated. Members of the creative team explained why Winnie the Pooh, Frozen and Up were chosen as the new stories. The article also mentions the refreshed entrance arch with storybook pages and the visible mention of Vittel as presenting sponsor. That directly connects the report to the attraction’s current official name. For guests, this marked the moment when the renewed boat ride became available again, with more details and a fresher appearance. For W8baan, the link is valuable because it documents not only the reopening but also the design choices behind the changes and the new sponsor identity.

At the end of August 2024, Looopings reported that Disneyland Paris had shown the refreshed version of Le Pays des Contes de Fées. After months out of service, the first images appeared of the three new scenes based on Winnie the Pooh, Frozen and Up. Existing scenery was also refreshed, and the ride’s control system received an update. A key visual element near the start of the boat ride, the large storybook, looked presentable again after the refurbishment. For guests, this meant the attraction returned not only with new content but also with a cleaner and more modern presentation. The official reopening was scheduled for 30 August 2024, together with the nearby Casey Jr. family coaster. This article is a central W8baan link because it documents the actual result of the renovation: which stories disappeared, which replaced them, and which visual and technical improvements were made.

In May 2024, Looopings reported an additional content update for the refurbishment of Le Pays des Contes de Fées. The boat ride would not only receive Frozen and Winnie the Pooh scenes, but also a scene based on Pixar’s Up. Carl Fredricksen’s floating house would appear in the finale of the route, accompanied by characters and details from the film. This made clear that the renewal was broader than first announced. The change also meant that The Wizard of Oz disappeared from the ride, along with a notable musical reference to older Disney entertainment history. For guests, the final scene of the attraction changed and the route became more closely connected with modern Disney and Pixar stories. The article also mentioned the new Vittel sponsorship, which later became visible at the refreshed entrance and queue. For W8baan, the article adds detailed context about the transformation carried out during the closure.
