Disneyland Paris is getting ready to open the gates to Arendelle. Beginning March 29, 2026, World of Frozen will debut inside the newly reimagined Disney Adventure World, bringing the world of Walt Disney Animation Studios Frozen to life through immersive storytelling, new attractions, interactive characters, and Nordic-inspired dining.
From Elsa’s Ice Palace, perched high on North Mountain, to a detailed Arendelle Village along the bay, every part of the land has been crafted for full immersion.
Frozen Ever After: A New Journey Through Arendelle
Set beneath the village Clock Tower, Frozen Ever After brings guests on a family-friendly boat adventure through the world of Frozen. The attraction features:
• State-of-the-art Audio Animatronics
• Advanced projection mapping
• Dazzling lighting and atmospheric effects
• Classic songs like Do You Want to Build a Snowman and Let It Go
The boat ride travels from the snowy forest to the Valley of the Trolls, into Elsa’s sparkling Ice Palace, and to the final moments over Arendelle Bay.
Imagineers are currently programming lighting, sound, and visual effects to make this the most advanced version of Frozen Ever After to date.
Meet Anna, Elsa, and New Village Friends
Inside Arendelle Castle, guests can enjoy a Royal Encounter with Anna and Elsa. The Portrait Gallery leads into an intimate meeting space designed for personalized interactions and photos.
Throughout the village, familiar characters like Oaken and Mossie, the baby troll, will appear in new interactive ways. Mossie is ready to charm visitors with playful energy, while Oaken brings his trademark Nordic warmth.
A Celebration in Arendelle: A New Live Show on the Bay
