[News] 🚧🧞‍♂️ Where is the balcony above Aladdin’s “Passage Enchanté”? ➡️ Since February 2025, the beautiful oriental balcony above the entrance has been missing, with a casing installed to cover the opening. ➡️ No official explanation has been provided. The removal may be linked to the deteriorating condition of the wooden structure. ➡️ The surrounding concrete has since been painted to match the façade, raising questions about whether the balcony will ever return at #DisneylandParis 📝 What do you think, will the balcony be back?
