World of Frozen opens at Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris on March 29, 2026, bringing the kingdom of Arendelle to life with a state-of-the-art boat ride, a Viking longship bay spectacular, and royal encounters with Anna and Elsa. Walt Disney Imagineering unveiled a pioneering robotic Olaf character at the land's press reveal in November 2025, alongside Nordic dining at Nordic Crowns Tavern and exclusive Runa baby troll merchandise.

World of Frozen opens at Disney Adventure World — the reimagined second park at Disneyland Paris — on March 29, 2026, transforming the space into a fully immersive Arendelle experience stretching from Elsa's Ice Palace atop North Mountain to the bustling Arendelle Village. The land features a cutting-edge boat ride, a brand-new bay spectacular aboard three Viking longships, a pioneering robotic Olaf figure, and Nordic dining and shopping crafted with authentic Scandinavian artisanship. Walt Disney Imagineering designed every element for deep narrative immersion in the beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios story.

Full Immersion in the Kingdom of Arendelle

From the towering peak of North Mountain, where Elsa's Ice Palace perches in icy grandeur, to the cobblestone lanes of Arendelle Village, World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World is engineered for complete storytelling immersion. Guests wandering through the kingdom encounter a family-friendly boat adventure, an unforgettable royal meeting with Anna and Elsa, and a lively celebration staged aboard Viking longships on Arendelle Bay — all set within environments designed to make the animated film feel tangible.

Frozen Ever After: The Landmark Boat Ride

Set beneath the village's Clock Tower, Frozen Ever After sends guests on a boat journey alongside Anna, Elsa, and their friends. The route travels from the snowy forest through the Valley of the Trolls, into Elsa's glittering Ice Palace, and culminates in a breathtaking finale over Arendelle Bay. Beloved songs including "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" and "Let It Go" fill the air throughout the ride.

State-of-the-art Audio-Animatronics figures populate each scene alongside immersive projection mapping, dazzling lighting, and layered sound effects currently being programmed by Walt Disney Imagineering to deliver a visually and emotionally stunning experience.

Royal Encounters with Anna and Elsa

Inside Arendelle Castle, guests step into an exclusive Royal Encounter with Anna and Elsa. After passing through the Portrait Gallery, visitors join the royal sisters for a personalized interaction complete with themed environments and photo opportunities. Throughout Arendelle Village, familiar faces like Oaken and Mossie — an adorable baby troll eager to make new friends — populate the streets with dynamic, interactive energy.

A Celebration in Arendelle: The Viking Longship Spectacular

The shimmering Arendelle Bay serves as the stage for "A Celebration in Arendelle," a brand-new show bringing the Snowflower Festival to life several times daily. The production unfolds aboard three majestic Viking longships, each crafted with extraordinary artisanal care. Walt Disney Imagineering partnered with a renowned French shipbuilder from the Bordeaux region to design and construct the vessels, while their intricate decorations were entrusted to artisans with long ties to Disneyland Paris. Kristoff's longship, for example, was crafted by a historic workshop near Dijon celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship.

The show's musical program weaves iconic songs including "Let It Go" and "Show Yourself" with new compositions written exclusively for Disneyland Paris by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the award-winning duo behind the Frozen soundtracks.

Olaf's Next-Generation Robotic Debut

At a press conference on November 24, 2025, at Disneyland Paris, Bruce Vaughn (President and Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Imagineering) and Natacha Rafalski (Presidente of Disneyland Paris) unveiled a next-generation robotic character representing Olaf, the lovable snowman from Frozen. The character was created by Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development in close collaboration with Disney Live Entertainment and Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Robotic Olaf will appear in the Arendelle Bay show at World of Frozen and in special limited-time appearances at World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. Disney describes the advancement as enabling iconic characters to engage with guests at an unprecedented level of believability, interacting with guests and surrounding characters just as they do in the films.

Runa: The Exclusive Interactive Baby Troll

At the Fjord View Shop, guests can meet Runa — a baby troll toy exclusive to World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris. Runa reacts to touch, blinks, moves her ears, lights up, and communicates with other troll toys nearby. The interactive toy also responds to the iconic locations of Arendelle and to Queens Anna and Elsa and the village's characters.

Nordic Dining at Nordic Crowns Tavern

Nordic Crowns Tavern provides quick-service lunch and dinner for guests of the land. The dining space is decorated with galleries of paintings and royal artifacts narrating the kingdom's history. The menu offers 16 customizable Nordic-cuisine combinations built on hearty bases — mashed potatoes or quinoa — paired with proteins such as grilled salmon or Nordic meatballs, seasonal vegetables, and a choice of tangy cranberry or creamy dill sauce. Desserts include blue sorbet, vanilla ice cream with customizable toppings, delicate snowflake treats, and traditional pastries.

Shopping the Kingdom: Arendelle Boutique

Arendelle Boutique is the village's signature shop, carrying must-have merchandise from the Frozen films alongside an exclusive Scandinavian craftsmanship collection. Wooden sculptures, intricately detailed objects, and clothing adorned with elegant rosemaling motifs showcase artisanal quality throughout. A line of garments reinterpreting Nordic dress codes features embroidered fabrics and floral patterns. A village mailbox outside the shop lets guests send postcards from Arendelle to loved ones at home.

What This Means for Disneyland Paris Visitors
