Disneyland Paris gives guests the chance to experience big-screen adventure in real life with an unmissable celebration: Frozen Celebration starting on 11 January 2020. A New Celebration of the Adventures of Frozen When it came out in 2013, Frozen became an immediate global phenomenon and the most successful animation film of all time at the box office. The adventures of Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven quickly reached Disneyland Paris, and the same will be true for Frozen 2. Fans of every age can take part in a brand-new experience all about their favourite Frozen characters at Disneyland Paris, from 11 to 3 May 2020. During Frozen Celebration at both Disney parks, guests can enjoy an interactive adventure with Anna and Elsa, meet Olaf and watch Frozen characters pass by on a new float. “Frozen 2: An Enchanted Journey” Anna and Elsa will wear their new outfits as seen by audiences in Frozen 2. A brand-new float will be unveiled for the occasion as it travels on the Parade Route. It will feature the silhouette of the mysterious Nokk, which audiences will have briefly glimpsed in the trailer. Olaf and Anna will be in an ice canoe and Sven will be at the rear of the float in this spectacular voyage inspired by Frozen 2. They will be surrounded by dazzling dancers and accompanied by the new music from the film. Fun Facts
Walt Disney Studios Park will put on a brand-new show all about the first Frozen film from 17 November 2019 called “Frozen: A Musical Invitation”. It will be performed several times a day for the Animation Celebration at Walt Disney Studios Park. Princess Anna will be delighted to invite the audience to celebrate a major premiere with her: Queen Elsa’s famous ice palace opens to everyone for the first time. But before that, she’ll make sure that everyone learns the magic moves for celebrating her sister’s powers. This happens in Kristoff’s barn – with a typically Norwegian decor – where the characters of Frozen and the audience enjoy a bit of interactive fun. And they’ll also get the chance to see Sven the reindeer for the very first time on a stage at Disneyland Paris. Kristoff will even sing “Reindeers Are Better Than People” live. Then comes the big moment when Anna invites adults and children to enter a new space opening directly onto a room in Elsa’s palace. When she sings the show-stopping “Let It Go”, Frozen fans are invited to do the moves they have just learned, demonstrating their love for Elsa and the powers that she was afraid to reveal. This shared moment is marked by the song – always sung live – “Love is an Open Door”. Guests can even meet Olaf at Animation Celebration from 17 November 2019, taking pictures with the adorable snowman from the enchanted forest. Production facts, figures and anecdotes:
