It may have been 12 years since Let It Go became a worldwide sensation, but trust us, the world’s not over Elsa and Anna yet. Disney knows it all too well, because the latest World of Frozen is set to open at Disneyland Paris in March 2026.
The news is out: the official opening date for World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris is set for 29th March 2026. It’s part of the reimagined Disney Adventure World, which is set to launch at the same time.
Before we get into the World of Frozen, here’s some context that you need to know ahead of your visit to Disneyland Paris.
There are 2 Disney parks in Paris – Disneyland Park, the classic theme park, and 2nd-oldest Disneyland outside of the USA, with the iconic castle, parades and such, as well as what used to be the Walt Disney Studios Park.
This 2nd, movie-themed park, which opened in 2002 with a focus on Pixar and Marvel, is the one that’s been rebranded as Disney Adventure World; part of a €2 billion expansion plan that’s now focused on creating immersive worlds.

Already in place are the Marvel Avengers Campus and Worlds of Pixar, with new rides including a family attraction inspired by Disney-Pixar’s Up, while World of Frozen is scheduled for next year, and a world-first immersive world dedicated to The Lion King.
Think: brand new songs composed specially for World of Frozen, new Frozen merch, and refreshed character interactions, amongst others.

It’s hard not to recall the iconic scenes of Elsa belting out Let It Go as she ascended the North Mountain and built her Ice Palace with a wave of her hand; here at World of Frozen, that very scene is realised in a 36m-tall structure, complete with icy blue palace and bridge, embedded with crystals that glisten in the day and sparkle by night..

If you’ve been to the similarly named World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland, you’ll recognise the familiar sight of The Kingdom of Arendelle. It’s unclear at this point which is the larger land, though Disneyland Paris one-ups Hong Kong with what’s slated to be a show over the Lagoon – A Celebration In Arendelle, which brings the Snowflower Festival to life on 3 specially crafted Viking longships.

The main attraction at World of Frozen is undoubtedly the Frozen Ever After ride, which is by and large meant to be similar to the ones already at Hong Kong Disneyland and EPCOT in Orlando. That is to say, this will be a boat ride that takes you through familiar scenes in the film, and into Elsa’s Ice Palace, unlike Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey in Tokyo DisneySea, which is a longer, narrative boat ride that follows the actual plot.
Of course, you can’t have a World of Frozen without Elsa and Anna character greetings, but the most adorable, and latest, Disney animatronic innovation is a next-gen Olaf animatronic that walks, talks, interacts, and expresses emotions as he wanders around the immersive land.
P.S.: This cute AF Olaf will make his debut at Hong Kong Disneyland next year too!
Headlining the lineup of new merch is Rúna, the baby troll toy that reacts to touch with blinks, ear twitches, and light, and communicates with other trolls nearby – this is a Disneyland Paris exclusive, and she’s said to interact with the locations and characters in World of Frozen too!

Disneyphiles, it’s time to book that flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for Spring 2026. If Paris is a little too far for you, book yourself a trip on the upcoming Disney cruise right here in Singapore.
