World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris: Bringing Arendelle from Screen to Reality

It’s almost time for the gates to open at World of Frozen, the newest and most anticipated expansion coming to Disneyland Paris. Beginning March 29, 2026, the resort’s newly reimagined second park, Disney Adventure World, will welcome one of the most immersive lands created, bringing Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen to life.

Every detail found here is absolutely worth melting for. From Elsa’s shimmering Ice Palace high atop the North Mountain to the cozy charm of Arendelle Village, the land feels like stepping directly from screen to reality.

Below is your guide to the iconic locations and immersive experiences waiting for you when World of Frozen opens.

For the first time in forever, you can step inside Arendelle Castle at Disney Adventure World and feel as though you’ve wandered straight into the animated films. The familiar stone façade rises gracefully beyond the water and the castle’s iconic bridge welcomes everyone into the kingdom. Subtle glimmers of Elsa’s Ice Magic decorate the exterior with icy, delicate wintery touches.

Inside, the story continues. As you make your way to greet Anna and Elsa at A Royal Encounter, take a moment to chat with the portraits lining the hallway. You might recognize a familiar face — hang in there, Joan!

Down by the water, you’ll find the exact spot where Anna and Hans experienced their whirlwind meet-cute in the first Frozen film. The boat Anna falls into, and from which she is “rescued” by the Prince of the Southern Isles, is docked right in Arendelle Bay. It’s a perfect screen to reality recreation of one of the movie’s most memorable moments.

We’ve been waiting our whole lives to finally stand before the clock tower and lighthouse where Anna and Hans dance through Love Is an Open Door. These landmarks rise proudly in Arendelle Village, instantly transporting you back to that starry-eyed scene from the film.

And at the top of every hour, be sure to listen closely — the familiar notes of Do You Want to Build a Snowman? echo through the kingdom from the clock tower.

One of the most breathtaking sights in the land is Elsa’s Ice Palace, towering above Arendelle. Covered in thousands of crystal-like details that catch the light, the palace shimmers over the entire kingdom. It’s a stunning piece of craftsmanship that instantly transports you into the story and reminds you why this world has captured so many hearts.

Discover the place where Olaf first met Anna, Kristoff and that “funky looking donkey” named Sven during their journey to the North Mountain. You can see this location brought to life on Frozen Ever After, where Olaf and Sven return among the shimmering trees of the ice forest — another screen to reality transformation.

On Frozen Ever After, your journey leads to one of the movie’s most iconic scenes: the moment Elsa unleashes her Ice Magic during Let It Go. As your boat glides into the Ice Palace, shimmering ice forms around you, snow swirls in the air and Elsa’s anthem fills the space.

At the frosty finale of Frozen Ever After, you’ll encounter Marshmallow standing guard in all his towering, snow packed glory. Surrounding him are mischievous Snowgies, first introduced in the Disney Animation short Frozen Fever, giggling and bouncing their way through the snow.

At the heart of Arendelle Village sits Friendship Fountain, one of the many touches of Elsa’s Ice Magic found throughout the land. Its delicate frozen fractals represent the act of true love that saved Anna in the first film — a reminder of the unbreakable bond between the sisters.

We’re not kitten when we say World of Frozen is filled with delightful details. One of the sweetest Easter eggs is shared between Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. Inside Nordic Crowns Tavern, look above the doorway and spot one of the adorable cats from the Disney Animation short Olaf’s Frozen Adventure. The second cat appears at the Golden Crocus Inn at Hong Kong Disneyland — a purr-fect connection.

Every corner of World of Frozen has been crafted with extraordinary care, heart and storytelling. With iconic locations from Disney Animation’s Frozen bringing the movie from screen to reality, it’s a chance to walk inside the world we have loved for over a decade.

It’s about to be that much cooler at Disneyland Paris now that World of Frozen is opening on March 29, 2026.
