Ever since the smash hit "Frozen" burst onto the scene in 2013, fans across the globe have been clamoring to step into the world of Arendelle. And while Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and all their delightful friends aren't actually frozen in time, they do indeed have a home in a real-life kingdom - one of the magical Disney Parks!
Since the movie's release, both Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida have introduced "Frozen"-themed attractions, transforming select areas into the enchanting realm from the hugely popular musical. So, which Disney park has Frozen? Here's a comprehensive look at both parks' offerings to help you decide which one is the perfect fit for your kingdom-hearted journey.
Disney California Adventure
California's Disneyland Park might be the original, but its neighboring resort, Disney California Adventure (DCA), has truly embraced "Frozen" with numerous attractions and experiences.
Cars Land to Arendelle Holiday Square
In 2015, DCA transformed its popular Cars Land into Arendelle Holiday Square for the holiday season. The immersive area included "Frozen" topiaries, snow flurries, and even a playful wall where Elsa and Anna signed autographs. While this seasonal change has since ended, the potential for such magical transformations still excites fans.
Additionally, the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail was reimagined as the Arendelle Waterways, transporting visitors through Oaken's Trading Post and into the arctic beauty of its northern fjords.
Matterhorn Bobsleds meet Wandering Oaken's
Though not as immersive as DCA's seasonal changes, visitors can find tangible touches of "Frozen" throughout the park. The first come in the form of Wandering Oaken's Trading Post, an expansion of the original Oaken's right outside of the Arctic Glacier. Here, you'll find warm treats and exclusive "Frozen" merchandise.
The park also boasts Frozen eating experiences. Enjoy Elsa's frozen blue berry lemonades or Anna's carrot cake from the Marceline's Confectionery cart near Disney Junior Live on Stage, or indulge in royal fare at Maurice's Treats in Fantasyland.
Walt Disney World's Epcot
Across the country in Orlando, Florida, Epcot has fully embraced the power of "Frozen" with an enchanting World Showcase Pavillion.
Norway's Royal Sommerhus
In the Norway pavilion, visitors can now step into the cozy Royal Sommerhus, the sisters' summer home. Here, fans have the opportunity to meet and greet with Elsa and Anna in a delightful, casual setting.
Additionally, nearby is the beloved "Frozen Ever After" attraction, a boat ride that takes you through the magical world of Arendelle. Set to your favorite songs from the film, this immersive experience is a must-see for fans.
Royalerezendo & Frozen Ever After
Across the way, the Norway food kiosk, Royalerezendo, offers a selection of Norwegian-inspired treats, including the now-iconic "Frozen" chocolate inside a cinnamon sugar-dipped Belgian waffle. And since "Frozen Ever After" opened in 2016, Epcot's Norway Pavilion has become a must-visit spot for fans.
Both Disney California Adventure and Walt Disney World's Epcot offer unique ways to immerse yourself in the world of "Frozen." Whether you prefer the seasonal transformations and diverse attractions of California's DCA, or the more compact yet absolutely enchanting Norway experience at Epcot, you truly can't go wrong. So gather your loved ones, and get ready to sing - after all, the cold never bothered you anyway!
