The new Frozen-themed land features colorful, Norweigan-inspired architecture, festive treats at Golden Crocus Inn, and two exciting attractions — Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs and Frozen Ever After, which is very similar to the Frozen Ever After ride in EPCOT.

Of course, even celebrities aren’t immune to the charms of a Disney gift shop! Gad also engaged in a Frozen-inspired shopping spree, picking up “necessities” like a Frozen Lego set and Olaf character ears. He even snagged a child-sized Anna costume — which he’s pleased they carry “in his size.”
