Frozen Themed Area Coming to Disneyland Paris
A new Frozen-themed area is coming to Disneyland Paris!
Construction is already underway at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris on the new area.
David Wilson, vice president of Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, announced on his LinkedIn page that his teams are hard at work on the new area.
In his post, David says:
Very excited to announce that our Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams are already hard at work to recreate the Kingdom of Arendelle “for the first time in forever,” here, at Disneyland Paris!
Following the highly-anticipated opening of Avengers Campus this summer, this project and the development of a picturesque lake promenade compose the next chapter of Walt Disney Studios Park’s historic expansion. I’m so proud of our teams who are calling upon the very best from around the world to continue this ambitious transformation.
Frozen-themed area concepts

Disneyland Paris describes what to expect in a press release:
As Guests approach the heart of the Park, Elsa’s Ice Castle will welcome them from afar. This magnificent structure will stand atop of a 131-foot snow-covered mountain, right next to a 3-hectare lake. The Kingdom of Arendelle will open its gates to the public “for the first time in forever,” and on this occasion, many experiences will await, including a new attraction that will take Guests on a journey alongside iconic Characters from the world of Frozen. The village – with its film-inspired architectural style – will be home to a shop, and restaurant serving dishes with a Nordic touch. In addition, Guests will get to meet their favourite Characters during a royal Meet & Greet they will remember forever.
New promenade

To access this new area, Guests will walk along a promenade surrounded by lush landscapes; a combination of themed gardens and green walkways. This fantasy world – perfect for daydreaming or enjoying entertainment – will serve as the transition between the new themed areas that will surround the future lake, and will completely transform the Park’s atmosphere. Here, Guests will be treated to an outdoor family attraction, an elegant table-service restaurant comprising 250 seats on the lakefront. With its Art Nouveau design, the restaurant will offer breathtaking panoramic views across the lake along with special meet-and-greet opportunities with Disney Characters.
Construction underway

“Since its release in 2013, Frozen has been one of our Guests’ favourite stories. With the start of the works related to this new area, along with the beautiful lakefront promenade which will lead to it, we are delighted to continue the expansion of Walt Disney Studios Park. We are leveraging all the creativity and expertise of our Walt Disney Imagineering teams – whether in Paris and elsewhere – along with local craftsmanship to bring Arendelle to life. This is bound to be an experience that will make our Guests’ hearts melt!” said David Wilson, vice president of Walt Disney Imagineering Paris.
Disneyland Paris is undergoing a major transformation and expansion. Avengers Campus will open this summer.
Timing for the opening of the new Frozen-themed area has not been announced. This new area has been in the works for several years – the last time MickeyBlog reported on it was early in 2020. We all know what happened next …
The fact that construction is underway is a very positive sign that this will finally happen! MickeyBlog will keep you updated on its progress!
