Disneyland Paris has given fans a sneak peek at its upcoming attraction, World of Frozen, which based on the hit movie Frozen.
The first Frozen movie was released in 2013 and followed Anna (Kristen Bell) as she sought to demolish a snowy spell that her sister, queen Elsa (Idina Menzel), had inadvertently put on her kingdom.
Frozen II debuted in 2019 and was set three years after the events of the first film. The plot followed the beloved characters from the previous movie as they attempted to discover the source of Elsa's magical ice powers.
With a third and fourth installment in the pipeline, Disneyland Paris has shared photos showing construction of its new Frozen-themed attraction, which includes the movies' famed clock tower and Arendelle Castle.
The carousel of images was recently shared on the official Instagram account of Disneyland Paris as the season's wintry weather aptly enveloped the region.
"First snow of the season️ means the first snow at the construction site of World of Frozen, opening in 2026 at @disneylandparis!" read an accompanying caption.
Norwegian-inspired World of Frozen is also set to include Elsa's Ice Palace sitting atop North Mountain, gardens, walkways and a shop and restaurant overlooking the lake. As with other Disney attractions, characters themed around the movies will be on hand to greet visitors.
Speaking with industry trade outlet Blooloop in August, Disneyland Paris president Natacha Rafalski said of the upcoming attraction: "Our guests will soon be able to immerse themselves like never before in this powerful storytelling that has become so beloved around the world. We can't wait to 'open up the gates.'"
"The World of Frozen will feature a new attraction that takes guests on a journey alongside Anna and Elsa, as well as immersive dining, shopping and a chance to enjoy a memorable royal audience with the two sisters," she added.
Disneyland Paris, which is officially called Walt Disney Studios Park, will be renamed Disney Adventure World when the new Frozen-themed attraction opens.
Hong Kong Disneyland was the first Disney resort to get a Frozen-themed zone, which opened in November 2023. There is also an area dedicated to Frozen, called Frozen Kingdom, at Tokyo's DisneySea port.
The attractions are among several set to be unveiled at Disney's theme parks in the U.S. and beyond in the coming years, as the entertainment juggernaut seeks to boost business.
Disney's fourth-quarter adjusted profits were unveiled in November. It was revealed that the Disney's Experiences division—encompassing its six global theme parks, cruise line, merchandise, and video game licensing—saw a six percent decline in operating income, totaling $1.7 billion. Although domestic parks and experiences reported increased operating income, international parks and experiences experienced a downturn, impacting the overall performance of the division.
Disney had previously anticipated a mid-single-digit decline in fourth-quarter operating income for its experiences division, citing a slowdown at domestic parks, softening in China and reduced attendance at Disneyland Paris. The latter was influenced by shifts in travel patterns due to the Olympics, which impacted typical consumer travel to the region.
