Read on for the full breakdown of what's changed inside the ride, why the closure happened, and what it means if you're planning a Disneyland Paris trip this summer.
Why Was Blanche-Neige Et Les Sept Nains Closed?
Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains is one of the original attractions at Disneyland Paris, and like most rides of its age it needs regular downtime to keep it running properly. Teams from Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, along with Design & Delivery, Maintenance and the Central Workshops, spent several weeks working on it. The closure was mainly for technical work, though Disney also used the opportunity to give the whole attraction a deep clean.
Disneyland Paris opens 365 days a year, so this kind of scheduled closure is how the parks keep older rides looking presentable rather than letting them quietly fall apart around you. If you've visited Disneyland Paris more than once, you'll know this is a normal part of how the parks are maintained rather than a sign anything was wrong.
What Has Changed Inside The Snow White Ride?
The changes start before you even board. The queue has newly painted floors, low walls, columns, woodwork and railings, along with a new themed chandelier.
The Cottage Scene
Inside the ride, the cottage scene got the most attention. The walls were sanded back and repainted to bring them closer to how they looked when Disneyland Park first opened. The woodwork, from the platforms to the beams, was repainted by hand, and the Dwarf figures themselves were touched up at Disneyland Paris's Central Workshops.
The Final Scene And New Snow White Figure
The ride's final scene now has a brand new Snow White figure, made from resin and hand-painted in workshops in Seine-et-Marne. Disney says the new figure sticks closer to how Snow White looks in the original animated film, while also being safer for the Cast Members who maintain the attraction day to day. The painted mural in this scene has also been updated to add the Prince and his horse, which brings the ending closer to how the film actually finishes.
Black-Light Paintwork, Flooring And Lighting
Beyond the headline changes, the team also touched up the black-light paintwork throughout the ride, stripped and repainted all of the flooring, and cleaned and adjusted every spotlight in the attraction.
Exterior Changes
Outside, the old 'Exit Only' sign near the Les Voyages de Pinocchio exit has been replaced with a new hand-painted mural of Snow White and her companions, which Disney says gives guests better visibility around that area.
When Does Blanche-Neige Et Les Sept Nains Reopen?
Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains reopened to guests on Tuesday 28th July 2026. One thing to keep in mind if you're visiting soon after reopening is that scaffolding will stay up on the outside of the building until autumn 2026. That's part of a separate, larger project to renovate the Fantasyland rooftops, which will eventually be adapted to better support the Entertainment teams and pyrotechnic equipment used in that area. So the ride itself is back and fully open, it's just the building's exterior that will still look a bit like a building site for a while longer.
What Does This Mean For Your Disneyland Paris Trip?
The timing is worth keeping in mind if you're travelling from the UK. 28th July falls right in the middle of the English summer holidays, which is already one of the busiest times to visit Disneyland Paris. Now that Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains is back, you shouldn't need to plan around it being closed if you're booking a summer trip, though the scaffolding on the outside of the building is worth being aware of if you're hoping for scaffolding-free photos.
If you're travelling from the UK, the usual routes still apply. There's no direct Eurostar service running to Marne-la-Vallee-Chessy, the station for Disneyland Paris. You'll need to take the Eurostar from London St Pancras to Lille Europe, then a connecting TGV on to Marne-la-Vallee-Chessy. Flying into Paris and getting a transfer is the other common option for UK visitors, depending on which airport suits your dates and budget best.
Given the summer holiday timing, it's worth checking the cheapest available dates before you commit to anything, since prices at Disneyland Paris can shift quite a lot across the school holiday period.
