‘Frozen’ fever strikes yet again as Disney announced plans to open a themed guest experience based on the hit-movie.
Fans of Anna, Elsa, and Olaf have already been waiting up to eight hours in lines at Disney World to greet their favorite characters, but now park guests will be able to immerse themselves in a mini village located in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot.
“I’m pleased to say that we’re starting construction at Walt Disney World Resort on a brand new “Frozen” attraction at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. The new attraction, which replaces Maelstrom, will take our guests to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favorite moments and music from the film,” said Tom Staggs, Chariman, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

In addition to being featured in the new ride, ‘Frozen’ characters will have a bigger presence at Disney’s Magic Kingdom during the oncoming holiday season. Cinderella’s Castle will be transformed into an ice palace by Queen Elsa tarting in early November and the main characters are set to make appearances in “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.”
