World of Frozen is the headline addition to the resort in 2026. It is a village-and-fjord land themed around Arendelle, set on the edge of the new lake at Disney Adventure World, and it opened to the public on 29 March 2026. The centrepiece is Frozen Ever After, a boat ride through the story, alongside a meet-and-greet with Anna and Elsa, a daytime show called A Celebration in Arendelle and a themed tavern called Nordic Crowns Tavern. A second family ride, Raiponce Tangled Spin, sits on the promenade nearby. The land is not a separate park with its own gate: you reach it with a ticket for Disney Adventure World, so a one-day ticket that includes the park will do. It is also the part of the resort that books up first on busy dates, so treat it as a priority for the first hour of your day rather than something to leave for the afternoon.
Why go
The land is well detailed, with Nordic-style buildings, a village square and views across the lake, and it is as photogenic after dark as it is by day. It works well for families with younger children, who tend to want to meet Anna and Elsa, and it is one of the few areas of the resort that feels genuinely new. The boat ride is gentle and gentle enough for most ages, so the main challenge is the queue.
Christmas in Arendelle
This winter is the land's first Christmas, and the festive programme has been extended into it for the first time. Expect Nordic-style decoration, a Christmas tree at the village entrance, a choir and a seasonal show with Anna and Elsa, plus meetings with Oaken, Mossie and Kristoff. On New Year's Eve the programme includes a pyrotechnic and drone show over the land, and drones depend on the weather. The festive season runs from 7 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, so check dates before you plan.
Getting the most from it
Go straight to Frozen Ever After when the park opens, or use the paid queue-skipping option if your dates are busy. After the ride, take the time to walk the lakefront. A single ticket for Disney Adventure World is all you need, and a two-day ticket gives you time to see the rest of the park properly. Check the day's schedule for show times, as they change with the season.
What to expect
The experience
A themed Arendelle village with a boat ride, a character meeting, a daytime show and a tavern, reached from inside Disney Adventure World.
Best time
First thing in the morning for the shortest queues, or in the evening when the lakeside lights come on.
How long
Two to three hours covers the ride, the meet-and-greet, a show and some time on the lakefront.
Tips
Head for Frozen Ever After first, check the show times, and bring a warm layer in winter because the land sits on open lakeside.
