This is a plan for a reimagining of Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris, once again operated by Euro Disney S.C.A (under direct ownership of the Walt Disney Company).
The park would open on December 1, 2003, and would once again be themed after a working film studio, with the "lands" being referred to as studio 'lots', Walt Disney Feature Animation's original studio, along with Disney's TV and film studios in Paris would be relocated to the backstage of Walt Disney Studios. With Disney later making cutbacks to its 2D animation production, the reimagined WDS would circumvent this by converting them into 3D animation studios, offices and editing suites, in order to maintain a permanent production facility.
Studio Lots[]
Walt Disney Studios would feature four studio lots. Attractions opening after the park's inauguration are also displayed:
Front Lot[]
Front Lots serves as the park’s main entrance and is home to most shops and services of the park, the Earffel Tower is located here. The entrance courtyard, ''La Place des Frères Lumière'', is designed in Spanish Colonial Revival style, a style common to 1930's Hollywood. It is loosely based on the design of the original Disney Bros. Studios on Hyperion Avenue. The central feature of the courtyard is a large "Fantasia'" fountain. The name of the courtyard is a tribute to the French inventors of cinema.
Front Lot features Disney Studio 1, a covered walkway with shops and restaurants themed after a soundstage with a recreation of a Hollywood street inside.
