This post breaks down everything we know so far about World of Frozen and the brand-new Disney Adventure World — including what you can reserve right now, how you’ll enter World of Frozen, what reservations you’ll need, which attractions and characters are coming, and what to expect from the transformation of the entire park.
If you’re planning a trip for 2026 (or even thinking about it), this guide will help you get ahead of the crowds, understand what’s changing, and make sure you’re ready the moment bookings open. With all the excitement around this monumental launch, you will want to be prepared.
World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris
World of Frozen brings the kingdom of Arendelle to life inside the newly reimagined Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris. This fully immersive land features its iconic fjord setting, complete with Anna and Elsa’s castle and the towering North Mountain.
Guests can set sail on Frozen Ever After, explore Arendelle’s streets, and meet beloved characters from the films. The area includes themed dining and shopping inspired by Nordic design and Frozen storytelling.
We’re heading to Disneyland Paris during opening week so we will bring you first look photos, honest reviews, food tasting and anything else you need to know!
What you need to Reserve in Advance
With World of Frozen opening on 29 March 2026 and the grand transformation into Disney Adventure World happening the same day, Disneyland Paris has released some experiences that can be secured before you arrive. These will be extremely sought after during the opening months, when demand and queues will be at their peak.
Princess Dining at The Regal View Restaurant and Lounge
Princesses, including Belle, Aurora and Ariel, are set to visit guests dining at the Regal View Restaurant and Lounge. The dining experience will take place during breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The new Regal Way princess dining experience can currently be added to:
- Existing Disneyland Paris Hotel + Tickets packages
- New Disneyland Paris Hotel + Tickets bookings
- Annual Passholders with an upcoming Disneyland Paris room only hotel stay (we were able to add reservations to our room-only stay at Disney Davy Crockett Ranch).
Add Regal View to Hotel and Ticket Packages
Important notes
- The Regal View Restaurant and Lounge is not yet bookable in the app. If it follows the same format as existing character dining, I expect to see lunch and dinner reservations available 2 months out and breakfast released 3 days out in the App.
- It is not available for Annual Pass reserved days unless these days are accompanied by a Disneyland Paris hotel booking
How to Reserve Dining at Regal View Restaurant
If you haven’t booked your Disneyland Paris trip yet, you can add the new Regal View Princess Dining experience during the booking process. It appears as an optional prepaid extra when you select your dates and hotel.
Here’s how to book it:
Add Regal View to Hotel and Ticket Packages
1. Choose Your Hotel and Package
Search your dates and select the Disney hotel you want. Once you confirm your room type and ticket package, you’ll move to the additional options and the’Add some sparkle to your stay’ section.
2. Add Regal Way as an Optional Extra
In the list of available add-ons, you’ll see Regal Way Princess Dining listed as a prepaid optional extra. Choose your preferred date (and time, if available) and add it to your booking.

Disney Premier Access
The opening of Disney Adventure World will see the addition of two brand new attractions, Frozen Ever After & Raiponce Tangled Spin. Both of these attractions will offer Premier Access either as a single pass or as part of the multi-attraction Ultimate pass. This allows you to skip the queue for the attraction but does not allow you to skip the queue to enter World of Frozen. Premier Access does not grant priority entry into World of Frozen.

Premier Access
Premier Access One (single ride purchase):
• Purchase same day in the app
• €16 to €19 per person for Frozen Ever After, €5 to €9 per person for Raiponce Tangled Spin
• Limited quantities

How Will World of Frozen Access Work in the Opening Days?
Disneyland Paris has confirmed strict entry controls for World of Frozen during the initial launch period. Understanding this system will make a huge difference to your experience.
1. You Need an Eligible Ticket
To access Disney Adventure World (the newly renamed Walt Disney Studios) from March 29, 2026 onwards, you must hold one of:
• A 2-park ticket
• A Disney Adventure World 1-park ticket
• A Hotel + Tickets package
• An Annual Pass reservation specifically for that date
Reserve Disneyland Paris tickets here
Without an eligible ticket or reservation, you cannot enter the park — and therefore cannot enter World of Frozen.
2. A Standby Queue Will Be Used to Enter the Land
Most guests will enter World of Frozen via a Standby Queue. This is expected to be extremely busy during the opening weeks.
No specific reservation is required to enter World of Frozen, apart from a valid admission for Disney Adventure World. Due to the high level of demand expected, guest may need to wait in a dedicated queue before accessing World of Frozen.
3. Priority Entry
You can only skip the Standby Queue if you hold one of the following:
A Royal Encounter reservation (Virtual Queue)
A beautifully themed meet-and-greet with Anna and Elsa inside Arendelle Castle. Access is free but requires joining a Virtual Queue on the day.
A Regal View reservation (to be confimed)
Details are still emerging, but it would seem logical that guests with a Regal View reservation will also be granted priority entry to the land.
Priority Card / Easy Access Card
A priority queue will be available for Guests with a Priority Card or an Easy Access Card, depending on their needs, to visit the Kingdom of Arendelle. No reservation is required to enter the land but a virtual queue reservation is still required to access A Royal Encounter with Elsa and Anna.
4. Premier Access Does Not Provide Expedited Entry to World of Frozen
Buying Premier Access Ultimate or individual Premier Access One passes for Frozen Ever After or Raiponce Tangled Spin does not grant expedited access to World of Frozen. You will still need to join the Standby Queue or hold a Royal Encounter (or possibly a Regal View reservation).
5. Expect Huge Demand
One thing is for sure, the opening weeks will be intense!
Everything else you need to know about Disney Adventure World and World of Frozen
Walt Disney Studios Park is becoming Disney Adventure World, and it’s basically in the midst of a complete makeover. We’re talking immersive worlds, new attractions, epic entertainment, and an entirely new way to experience Disney, Pixar, and Marvel stories.
On March 29, 2026, Disney Adventure World officially opens with three spectacular immersive lands:
• World of Frozen (brand new!)
• Marvel Avengers Campus
• Worlds of Pixar
Plus, there’s Adventure Way, a stunning new promenade connecting it all, complete with new attractions, 14 new dining locations, entertainment, and access to Adventure Bay, the lake and stage for nighttime spectaculars. The park is effectively doubling in size — and a Lion King land is already in the works!
World of Frozen: Step Into Arendelle
But let’s be honest: World of Frozen is the headliner, so let’s talk about that.
Frozen Ever After — The Main Attraction
The signature ride will take guests through snowy forests, the Troll Valley, Elsa’s Ice Palace, and out above Arendelle Bay — all accompanied by classic Frozen songs and next-gen animatronics.
Anna and Elsa Meet and Greet: What You Need to Know
The meet and greet we have all been waiting for! Anna and Elsa will be meeting guests at the Royal Encounter. Guests will meet Anna and Elsa in their majestic courtroom in Ardenelle Castle.
A reservation is required and access is available via the Virtual Queue only. You can only join the queue when you are inside the parks, and reservations must be made through the Disneyland Paris app, so it’s essential to ensure your tickets or package are linked in advance.
Currently, slots drop twice daily at 9:45 and 2:00, although there is no confirmation that this experience will always be included in those release times.
We always recommend managing your children’s (and your own!) expectations. These meet-and-greets are exceptionally popular and availability is limited so securing a slot will largely come down to good luck on the day.
Frozen Meet and Greets
As mentioned, the main meet and greet is a Royal Encounter with Anna and Elsa. Expect beautifully themed environments, personal moments, and incredible photo opportunities.
You may also encounter:
• Oaken (Hoo-hoo!)
• Baby troll Mossie
• A next-generation interactive Olaf animatronic
Live Entertainment — A Celebration in Arendelle
A 15-minute show on Viking longships featuring Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff — with both iconic Frozen songs and brand-new music created by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez.
Food & Shopping in Arendelle
Nordic Crowns Tavern
A build-your-own Nordic-inspired meal with grilled salmon, meatballs, mashed potatoes, quinoa, vegetables, and seasonal sauces. Desserts include Frozen-themed sorbets, pastries, and snowflake treats.
Arendelle Boutique
Expect Frozen favourites along with Scandinavian-inspired crafts, rosemaling-embellished clothing, wooden sculptures, and interactive baby troll Rúna, a must-see new toy.
Fjord View Shop
Offering themed makeup, hairstyles, and unique Frozen merchandise — plus a village mailbox where you can send a postcard straight from Arendelle.
Beyond World of Frozen: More Magic at Disney Adventure World
Adventure Way, opening March 29, will link every section of the park and set the tone with new shows, dining, and storytelling.
Raiponce Tangled Spin
A new family attraction where gondolas swirl under glowing lanterns as I See the Light plays — with Mandy Moore providing new audio.
Regal View Restaurant & Lounge
Princess dining, stunning lake views, and the first-ever bar inside a Disneyland Paris park. The lounge area will not require advance reservations.
Twenty New Dining Spots Across the Park
From hot dogs at Café Luminosity to bread bowls at La Terrasse Panoramique, plus kiosks, chalets, and mobile carts with pastries, snacks, princess-themed desserts, and more.
Disney Cascade of Lights — The Nighttime Spectacular
Adventure Bay transforms into an open-air stage with 379 drones, water screens, fountains and fire and lighting effects. This will be accompanied by music from Moana, Hercules, Marvel, Zootopia, Up, and more.
Cascade of Lights will run at the same time as Disney Tales of Magic in Disneyland Park. Check the app on the day for exact showtimes.
If you’re staying in a Disney Hotel on a package, your tickets include at least two park days, meaning you can experience both nighttime shows on separate nights.
We cannot WAIT. See you in Arendelle — and across all of Disney Adventure World! ❄️✨
