Big changes are afoot this Spring at Disneyland Paris and the new reopening next month is part of a £1.7 billion (two billion euros) massive expansion programme, which will see the park almost doubling in size, featuring a new promenade, Tangled-themed attraction, and a new night-time spectacular. Step into the heart of Arendelle when World of Frozen opens at what is being rebranded as Disney Adventure Resort. The newly reimagined second park at Disneyland Paris will be home to this immersive land that brings Walt Disney Animation Studios' Frozen to life.

World of Frozen will debut as part of a major transformation of the second park on March 29th and will feature the Kingdom of Arendelle, a new lakeside area with new shops and restaurants in the former Walt Disney Studios. Frozen fans will be able to explore Elsa's Ice Palace atop North Mountain and the bustling Arendelle Village, with every detail is designed for full immersion.

It will debut as part of a major transformation of the second park, which will be renamed Disney Adventure World on that same day. Natacha Rafalski, présidente of Disneyland Paris, commented: "29th March 2026 will mark a historic milestone for Disneyland Paris."

The Disneyland Paris park blog describes the new Frozen World, writing: "Set beneath the village's Clock Tower, sail on a boat ride alongside Anna, Elsa, and their friends on Frozen Ever After. This enchanting adventure travels from the snowy forest to the Valley of the Trolls, and through Elsa's glittering Ice Palace before culminating in a breathtaking finale over Arendelle Bay.

"Along the way, beloved songs such as "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" and "Let It Go" fill the air, creating moments that feel straight out of the film. Cutting-edge technology brings the story to life with state-of-the-art Audio-Animatronics figures throughout. Immersive projection technologies, dazzling lighting, and sound effects are currently being programmed by Walt Disney Imagineering to deliver a visually and emotionally stunning experience.

"A Celebration in Arendelle" which is a Snowflower Festival, is presented several times a day, and as the show unfolds aboard three majestic Viking longships.

Walt Disney Imagineering partnered with a renowned French shipbuilder from the Bordeaux region to design and build the vessels. Their intricate decorations were entrusted to artisans who have long collaborated with Disneyland Paris. For example, Kristoff's longship was made by a historic workshop near Dijon known for its exceptional craftsmanship. These authentic touches create a setting as rich and detailed as the story itself.

Visitors will be able to sing along to iconic songs like "Let It Go" and "Show Yourself," enhanced by new music composed exclusively for Disneyland Paris by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the award-winning duo behind the beloved Frozen soundtracks.

"These advancements in robotics enable Disney to bring iconic characters to lifeat an unmatched level of believability, engaging with guests and other characters around them, just as they did in the films that won the hearts of millions of viewers around the world" a Disney spokesperon said.
