The same day that the World of Frozen opened on 29th March 2026, we said goodbye to Disney Studios, and hello to Disney Adventure world.

Walking through the newly developed World Showcase Plaza, through the doors and straight in front of you, you’ll come to Adventure Way, which takes you to the huge lake, and the site where the new Worlds are be located.

World of Frozen

To reach the new Frozen area will really depend on how busy it will be, and whether a queuing system is in place. Luckily the app has a handy queue timer for this! We recommend around the lake in a clockwise direction to reach the World of Frozen, which is situated at about midnight if it was a clock! It’s quite a long walk, with not too much to do, but the views are amazing. There’s a lot wind as well – so wrap up warm!

On your way to World of Frozen, along Adventure Way, you’ll walk past the location of an outdoor Tangled sing-along ‘ A Musical Moment with Rapunzel & Flynn’ which is well worth a watch, and see if you can spot a super cute Winnie the Pooh bench.

Can you meet Olaf at the World of Frozen in Disneyland Paris?

One of the key exciting elements coming out of the Disneyland Paris pre-launch advertising of the World of Frozen, was the lifelike Olaf anamatronic seen to be strolling around the streets of Arendelle.

From our visits, and from what we’ve read, your best option to see him is in the ‘A Celebration of Arendelle’ show, or on the Frozen ride, but occasionally you may get lucky to see him out and about! Keep an eye on the Disneyland Paris app, as currently (April 2026) Olaf isn’t available for meets, but Nick Wilde from Zootropolis is instead.

You can easily meet a Wandering Oaken, who was easily spotted heads and shoulders above everyone else nearby. He is free range, so not tickets or virtual queues needed.

For Anna & Elsa, make sure you’re ready for the virtual queues at 9am and 2pm – I always like to set an alarm to make sure I don’t miss it.

Food in Disney Adventure World

Our top favourites are:

• Regal View – dining with the princesses. The dining room is beautiful, the princesses are wonderful, however the food was fine, but not great for people with allergies (as food cannot be adjusted).
• Café Luminosity – hot dogs and cinnamon buns, but with a slightly different take on Caseys
• Nordic Crowns Tavern – a Frozen themed quick service restaurant which has equivalent vibes
• Super Diner – for eating somewhere a lot quieter than the rest of Disney Adventure World. Need somewhere for a sensory break? Super Diner is one of the quietest food areas in Disney Adventure World, and serves Shawarma which is a tasty option.

Rides in Disney Adventure World

The launch of Disney Adventure World involved the launch of two brand new rides, greatly

Frozen Ever After: a carbon copy of the Walt Disney World Epcot Frozen ride, but it is such a great ride to take kids on to see their favourite characters, singing their favourite songs! There is a drop that is larger than the Pirates of the Caribbean drop, and quite a thick lap bar is used, so I would be aware of that as pregnant people are not allowed to ride, and if you are taking a child, it would be trickier for them to be on your lap.

Raiponce Tangled Spin: similar to the teacups, but much more elegant, Raiponce Tangled Spin is based off the tangled film.

Our top Disney Adventure World Ride, especially for pre-schoolers up, is Spiderman Web Adventure, as its an interactive ride, great for all your budding mini Spideys. Although this then means every future picture you have of your 3 year old includes Spiderman hands! We’ve now ridden it more than 20 times, and can’t stop returning!

Night time show – Cascade of Lights

Now this is one of the biggest changes – Disney Adventure World now has its own water based show, including drones!

Luckily, the lake at Disney Adventure World is HUGE, so you don’t need to pick a spot well in advance, plus some areas are tiered, so there’s more visibility than at the Castle show. If you’re only going to see one show this year, I’d recommend Cascade of Lights, but wrap up warm – the wind across the lake can be incredibly chilly, even on the warmest of days. So handwarmers and extra layers will be key to pack!

My 3 year old isn’t a fan of fireworks, and we had a Spiderman room booked at the Marvel hotel, so we headed off early. The show starts around 20 minutes before park closing time, which can be checked in the app.

Other must sees

• Minnie’s Disney Marching Band – absolutely a must see. We caught it at sunset on our way out of the park, and it was absolutely spectacular – it kept both me and my 3 year old fully engaged!
• A Celebration in Arendelle – this was enjoyable, but it’s really hard to see unless you get a good spot well in advance, or if you are a kid on an adults shoulders standing at the back of the crowd! It’s fantastic to be so ‘within’ Arendelle, but definitely make sure you grab your spot at some railings around the Frozen harbour area.

My thoughts on Disneyland Paris Adventure World (skip if you don’t want spoilers!)

I love Disneyland Paris. I love Frozen. Given there was so much hype about the World of Frozen and the rebranding, I probably went in with too high expectations. But I have some questions:

Why is the Arendelle area so small? Why is the Frozen ride an exact copy of EPCOT? Why wasn’t more effort put into the Tangled ride? If you’ve been to Fantasy Springs in Tokyo, their Frozen ride is beautiful, and could definitely have fitted into Adventure World, as the lake is HUGE. There’s a lot of open space, but where is the magic? Everything is really spread out and it just increases walking time (which I understand is part of theme park operations – you need people to feel like they are busy, when actually it’s just part of park management).

There’s loads of amazing Disney IP and it feels like they’ve just missed the spot slightly, as if you compare it again to the Fantasy Springs area in Tokyo, that is actually magical. The tiny details are wonderful.

If this is your first trip to Disneyland Paris, your trip will be complete magic no matter what. Seeing the awe in your kids eyes when they get to step foot in ARENDELLE is wonderful no matter what, and that made it for me. If you’ve been to Paris before, or have experienced Orlando, California or Tokyo, you may be asking similar questions!

Let me know if you’ve got any questions before your trip, and I’ll be able to answer them! Have you visited Disneyland Paris World of Adventure? What are your thoughts?
