Overview
- Fan and trade sites, which published the rumor Thursday, say the Disney Village Rainforest Cafe may close permanently.
- The same reports suggest the Frank Gehry–designed structure could be torn down as part of the district’s ongoing refresh.
- Disneyland Paris has not announced any closure or demolition, and the reports remain unconfirmed.
- This location is the only Rainforest Cafe in France and one of just two in Europe, so a shutdown would remove a rare family dining draw.
- The building dates to the original Festival Disney plan by Gehry, and the district’s revamp has already retired legacy elements such as the last Disney Store in France earlier this year.
