Epcot's World Showcase welcomes a new Disney World dark ride that takes Disney guests into the world of the tremendously popular animated movie Frozen called Frozen Ever After.  Residing in the Epcot Norway Pavilion in the former home of Maelstrom is one of the most anticipated Disney attractions.


Located in the back of the Norway pavilion, Frozen Ever After is your chance to transport to the world of Arendelle and see your favorite Frozen Characters.



The pre-ride queue area is vastly different than Maelstrom and Frozen fans will appreciate the attention to detail.

Your invitation to the Summer Snow Day Celebration states:

Hear ye! Hear ye!
The Kingdom is invited to a Summer Snow Day Celebration In honor of the day that
Princess Anna
saved her sister
Queen Elsa
with an unselfish act of true love.
All Shall Be Welcome to a Royal Reception inside the Ice Palace.

The queue shows you a view inside Arendelle to see this charming country, The attention to detail is well done and there is quite a lot to see while you wait to board your ship to Queen Elsa's Ice Palace.



The royal Proclamation denotes that it is time to partake in the Official Summer Snow Day!







The journey to the Ice Palace starts by entering the Frozen world, meeting Olaf and Sven, the rock trolls, and then Olaf prepares us to meet the Royal hosts.



Now we see Princess Anna and Kristoff  joined by a mischievous Sven with his tongue stuck to a frozen post.  This sets the scene for us to enter Queen Elsa's Ice Palace




Queen Elsa greets us singing her most famous song "Let It Go!" as we tour the amazing Frozen Ice Palace.



Now we quickly move through past Marshmallow and  plunge briefly only to be rejoined by Olaf and Princess Anna and Queen Elsa standing hand-in-hand.

Frozen Ever After: Review Summary

This Disney World dark ride is very well done, especially considering it needed to stay within the footprint of the previous Maelstrom attraction. Frozen fans will really enjoy the attraction, as this ride pays great attention to detail and works in key story elements and characters.  This is definitely one of the better Disney World dark rides that have been created to pay homage to Disney animated movies

Although we at Only WDWorld feel that this ride does not belong in Epcot's World Showcase, the ride itself is enjoyable.

We would love to hear your impressions of Frozen Ever After!  Please leave your Ride Review in the Comments!

Olaf is going to be spending this Summer aboard the cruise ships of the Disney Cruise Line!  You will be able to see Olaf, Elsa, Anna and more Frozen related fun on all four of the Disney Cruise Line ships and Castaway Cay.

Here are some of the great "Frozen" Happenings that have been announced:

Frozen Highlights For The Disney Cruise Line

Highlights include a spectacular deck party, a new production number in “Disney Dreams,” new character meet and greets, storybook adventures ashore and another way to cool down on Castaway Cay. I’ll share some details on these exciting offerings today, and over the next several weeks, tell you more about what you can expect in summer.

A Day of Frozen Fun, Including New Deck Party

Debuting this summer, on select Disney Magic and Disney Wonder sailings to Europe and Alaska, Disney Cruise Line guests are transported to the land of “Frozen” when the ship is transformed into a winter wonderland and a day of frozen fun culminates with an extravagant celebration with friends from the Kingdom of Arendelle. The deck party, “Freezing the Night Away with Anna, Elsa and Friends,” is a family-friendly interactive celebration featuring the famous royal sisters and their fun-loving Nordic companions.

New Production Number in “Disney Dreams”

Our friends from “Frozen” are making their stage show debut at sea in the Walt Disney Theatre aboard the Disney Magic. In our original production, “Disney Dreams … An Enchanted Classic,” Anna, Elsa and Olaf join the line up of beloved Disney characters who together teach a young girl the power of her dreams. Brand-new scenes featuring “Frozen” characters include renditions of three popular songs: “Let it Go,” “For the First Time in Forever” and “In Summer.”

Magical Meet and Greets

In addition to warm hugs, Olaf will be giving autographs and taking photographs with children and families while he is cruising with us. He is joining Anna and Elsa on the Disney Fantasy, Disney Dream, Disney Wonder and Disney Magic for some fun in the sun!

Adventures Ashore in Norway

This summer in Norway, the land that inspired Arendelle from “Frozen,” Disney Magic cruisers will have the opportunity to join exciting new Port Adventures that bring this fairytale setting to life. One signature adventure ashore in Ålesund, Norway, created exclusively for Disney Cruise Line, will immerse guests in the splendor and charm of Norway, with the help of Anna and Elsa, in an enchanting storybook village.

Olaf’s Summertime Freeze on Castaway Cay

We’re cooling down Castaway Cay with the addition of Olaf’s Summertime Freeze bar! Serving non-alcoholic specialty frozen drinks in souvenir cups, the creative menu features refreshing beverages such as “Olaf’s Flurry Freeze,” “Sven’s Carrot Delight” and “Warm Hugs.” Olaf’s Summertime Freeze will be near the Pelican Point tram stop by Castaway Cay Family Beach.

So Cute You Could Eat Him!

For those with a sweet tooth, you will adore the Olaf Cupcake!  A carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting was certainly a ""hot" item during Frozen Summer Fun and available at most food serving locations throughout the park.  This is one treat that certainly tastes as good as it looks.  The only downside is that Olaf's chocolate arms do not hold up well in the heat and melt quickly (just like a real snowman would.)
