World of Frozen Opens 29th March 2026

Welcome to a New Chapter at Disneyland Paris

World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World brings Arendelle into full scale. The land blends precise design with emotional storytelling. Every corner reflects the spirit of the films. You walk in and feel part of the story, not a spectator.

The land introduces the Snowflower Festival. The entire village dresses up for the event. Decorations fill the streets. Music surrounds you. Characters welcome you as a guest of honor.

Michel den Dulk from Walt Disney Imagineering Paris explained how teams worked together to shape every detail. His message was simple. They wanted Arendelle to feel real. They wanted you to believe you stepped into the films.

The Architecture of Arendelle

World of Frozen rises around the 118 foot North Mountain. Elsa’s Ice Palace sits at the top. Below, the village wraps around a sparkling waterfront.

You move through a Nordic style town square. Buildings show floral patterns and rosemaling. Water features add energy to the area. Conifers, birches, beeches, and crocuses line pathways to match the films.

The sound design pulls you deeper. Orchestral versions of the film’s music play as villagers guide you toward Arendelle Bay, the Fountain of Friendship, or the castle gates.

Frozen Ever After, A New Family Ride

The village sits above a major new attraction. Frozen Ever After takes you on a boat journey with Anna, Elsa, and their friends.

You pass through the snowy forest. You glide into the Valley of the Trolls. You rise into Elsa’s Ice Palace. You finish in Arendelle Bay lit by snowflake fireworks.

The ride includes new Audio Animatronics. These figures move with precision. Lighting, projections, and sound blend into a striking experience.

Meet Anna and Elsa in the Royal Encounter

Inside Arendelle Castle, you enter the Portrait Gallery. Then you meet Anna and Elsa in a private space designed for photos and conversation.

The Snowflower Festival continues in Arendelle Bay with A Celebration in Arendelle. This 15 minute musical show takes place several times each day. Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and villagers arrive on Viking longships. The show features new music written by Kristen Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez.

As you walk through the land, other characters appear. Oaken shares his cheerful greeting. Mossie, a baby troll, explores the paths. During a recent press event, Imagineering also introduced a next generation Olaf robotic character. This Olaf will appear in shows across the park.

Adventure Way, Your Gateway to Disney Adventure World

Adventure Way links World of Frozen with Marvel Avengers Campus, Worlds of Pixar, and World Premiere Plaza. The area includes lush gardens, dining, entertainment, and a new attraction.

Raiponce Tangled Spin

This new family ride brings the Tangled Lantern Festival to life. Gondolas spin beneath floating lanterns. Music surrounds you. Mandy Moore recorded new audio for the attraction, adding a direct connection to the film.

Regal View Restaurant and Lounge

Adventure Way introduces a table service restaurant with princess theming. Embroidered drapes, floral tapestries, carved wood, and hand painted plates set the scene.

You might meet Belle, Merida, Jasmine, Aurora, Mulan, or Ariel. Some will appear in new outfits for Disneyland Paris. Royal Delft created the ornamental plates. Schaffner workshops built the entrance canopy. The restaurant offers lake views and a perfect vantage point for the new nighttime show.

Next door, the Regal View Lounge becomes the first bar inside the parks. Royal blue interiors, golden accents, Disney Princess companion artwork, and piano versions of Disney songs create a calm break with views of World of Frozen.

Food Across Adventure Way

Fourteen food and beverage locations line the path. You find bread bowls, New York rolls, cinnamon rolls, hot dogs with signature recipes, filled brioche, stuffed potato waffles, and princess inspired desserts. Kiosks, chalets, and carts add variety and speed.

Gardens and Character Moments

Adventure Way includes poetic gardens themed to Tangled, Toy Story, and classic British Disney stories. Woody and Jessie appear as giant statues. Topiary toys lead toward Toy Story Playland.

The Gazebo Garden hosts seasonal entertainment. Rapunzel and Flynn in spring. Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band in summer. Miguel in fall. From late 2026, more character greetings join the lineup.

Minnie Mouse leads the Disney Marching Band through the avenue each day. The band brings modern versions of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel music.

A new 40 minute soundtrack for Adventure Way was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. It welcomes guests as they enter the promenade.

Adventure Bay, The Heart of the Expansion

Adventure Bay connects these lands. During the day, character encounters take place along the lake. Mickey and Minnie greet guests in Victorian outfits at the West Pavilion. More characters will join this space after the opening on March 29, 2026.

Disney Cascade of Lights, A New Nighttime Spectacular

When night falls, Adventure Bay transforms. Barges move into place. Drones take the sky. Water effects shimmer across the lake.

Disney Cascade of Lights becomes the second major nighttime show at Disneyland Paris. It takes place in 360 degrees with tiered viewing platforms.

The show uses 379 drones, aquatic drones, fountains, projections, lighting, and pyrotechnics. Stories from Mulan, Hercules, Moana, Zootopia, Up, and the Marvel Universe influence the journey.

A 90 piece orchestra recorded the soundtrack. It includes new arrangements of Disney classics and a new anthem titled We Can Be Heroes.

Rehearsals will continue until the opening. The goal is a seamless blend of technology and emotion.

A New Era for Disneyland Paris

World of Frozen and Adventure Way set a new standard for themed lands in Europe. The lands mix architecture, music, dining, characters, and technology into one experience. When you enter Arendelle or walk along the lake, you step into the story in a direct way. You feel part of the celebration.

Disney Adventure World opens this new chapter with ambition and detail. Visitors will explore Arendelle, enjoy Tangled’s lanterns, dine with Princesses, and finish the night with a drone filled sky.
