We’re at Disneyland Paris for the revamp of the Walt Disney Studios park, now called Disney Adventure World! We’re so excited for their new Frozen land, but that’s not the only new attraction over in the area!
Welcome to World of Frozen in Disney Adventure World!
World of Frozen features NUMEROUS new offerings, including rides, a new show called A Celebration in Arendelle, meet and greets, and so much more. However, we really loved the new character experiences in this new land, and figured it was time to do a deep dive!
One of the things we were most excited for was A Celebration in Arendelle, which is a show that happens nightly in the new land. It takes place on the harbor, entirely in boats, and we absolutely loved this show! Olaf and Kristoff come out on the first boat, where you’ll hear Olaf speaking English and Kristoff speaking French, and they set the story of the show, which is that Olaf has been put in charge of decorating for the Snowflower Festival. Olaf looked AMAZING on that boat — we were blown away by how realistic he looks, and how well he moves! We did hear that B-mode for Olaf in this show, meaning that robot Olaf isn’t working, is a puppet, so it’s possible you may see that instead of robo-Olaf on your trip.
He looks amazing!
This is the only way we saw Olaf on our trip; we didn’t see him roaming around the land. Therefore, if you want to be sure you can see this incredibly animatronic, be sure to snag a spot for this show, as it’s unclear if he’ll be wandering around the land greeting guests, but we’ll find out when the land opens on March 29th!
He’s so cute!
A float with dancers comes out, then, as some colored jets of water begin creating flowers. However, as they finish decorating, Olaf realizes he’s forgotten the snow crystals for the Snowflower, which doesn’t make it a true Snowflower!
Beautiful!
He doesn’t want to tell Anna and Elsa, but, being Queens, they already know. When the final boat comes out with Anna and Elsa, Elsa uses her powers to create some really amazing water effects and fireworks, and puts the snow crystals on the flower. We thought the show was lots of fun and super cute, so we highly recommend!
It’s Anna and Elsa!
We also visited Royal Encounter to visit Anna and Elsa! The meet and greet itself is actually inside the castle, which is incredible, and you enter through a side archway.
Royal Encounter
You’ll walk through a few doors at the start of the queue, and then you’ll find yourself inside the entrance hall — right where Anna sings “For The First Time in Forever!” You’ll recognize the portraits on the wall, the details on the ceiling were stunning, and overall, we felt like we had just stepped into the film.
We’re in the main hall!
It’s here that you’ll meet a Cast Member who will ask you how many people are in your party. When there is space, you’ll then be sent through to the final hallway.
The Cast Member
You’ll wait in another castle-like hallway…
Final hallway!
…and then you’ll be directed to one of three doors to meet Anna and Elsa together! We have a feeling this will be a VERY popular meet and greet, but those three doors will help things move relatively quickly. However, it’s important to note that when this experience officially opens on March 29th, it’ll require a Virtual Queue!
It’s Anna and Elsa!
There is PhotoPass inside the space to take photos for you, and then you can head to the kiosk at the end to grab your ticket that will activate your photos. Overall, we thought this ran very smoothly, and it was SO neat to step inside the castle. This is the first time we’ve met both of them together, at the same time, which was a tiny bit overwhelming, but that may have just been us! Originally, we thought it would be cool to walk across the bridge for the meet and greet, so you’re entering the castle from the front, but then we realized just how much that would mess up people’s photos!
Our ticket for our photos!
That’s far from the only new meet and greet in Disney Adventure World, though, because now you can meet Mickey at Adventure Way! We loved his outfit, and it’s always great to say hello to the main mouse himself.
Hi, Mickey!
The park itself has remained open through all this construction, but the new areas officially open on Sunday, March 29th, and the name of the park will switch over then. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney Adventure World updates!
