Disneyland Paris has made a significant change to one of its opening-day Fantasyland attractions, with the original finale of Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) being replaced during an extensive refurbishment.
The classic dark ride reopens to guests on 28th July after more than two months behind construction walls, but returning visitors will discover that the attraction’s concluding scene has been substantially reimagined. According to reports from the reopening preview, the original animated ending has been removed and replaced with a new static display featuring Snow White, alongside an updated painted backdrop.
The refurbishment extends well beyond the attraction’s finale. Throughout the queue and ride, Disneyland Paris has refreshed paintwork, restored scenic elements, enhanced lighting and cleaned or refurbished numerous show scenes. The Seven Dwarfs’ cottage has received extensive restoration work, while black-light effects and flooring have also been renewed to improve the overall guest experience.
Perhaps the most debated change is the removal of the original ending. For more than three decades, the attraction concluded with guests passing beneath an arch where Snow White, the Prince and the Seven Dwarfs bid farewell before riders exited the attraction. That sequence has now been replaced by static figures and a redesigned mural, with the Prince and his horse no longer appearing as physical figures in the scene.
Disneyland Paris has stated that the new Snow White figure was handcrafted and designed to more closely match the character’s appearance in Disney’s 1937 animated classic while also supporting operational and maintenance requirements within the attraction.
Although the ride itself is once again welcoming guests, work around the exterior is not yet complete. Scaffolding will remain visible around parts of the attraction’s façade until autumn 2026 as Disneyland Paris continues wider refurbishment work across Fantasyland’s rooftops, including upgrades for entertainment and pyrotechnic infrastructure.
Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains has been part of Disneyland Paris since the park opened in 1992 and remains one of the resort’s few original Fantasyland dark rides. While many guests will appreciate the refreshed sets, improved lighting and restored scenes, the replacement of the attraction’s long-standing finale is likely to prove one of the refurbishment’s most talked-about changes among Disney park fans.
