This fascinating new area showcases breathtaking snow-capped mountains, cascading waterfalls, and Elsa's magnificent Ice Palace on the North Mountain.
Guests can also embark on the water-based attraction "Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey," a boat ride that takes them on a remarkable and emotional adventure accompanied by beloved songs from the popular films. Lasting over 6.5 minutes, this attraction beautifully portrays the story of Anna and Elsa, including the iconic moment of Anna's self-sacrifice to save Elsa.
Additionally, guests can indulge in a delightful dining experience at the Royal Banquet of Arendelle, a 570-seat counter service restaurant situated inside Arendelle Castle. Inspired by the film, the restaurant offers indoor dining areas like the Great Hall and an outdoor area with stunning views of Arendelle's fjord cliffs and mountains. For a quick snack, visitors can visit "Oaken's OK Foods," a snack shop personally run by Oaken, which offers a variety of delectable treats, including the renowned Cardamom & Meat Oaken's Yoo-Hoo Bread.
The Frozen Kingdom in Fantasy Springs promises to bring Disney fans a magical world of Anna, Elsa, and the beloved kingdom of Arendelle, providing an enchanting and unforgettable experience.
Rapunzel’s Forest
Rapunzel's Forest is an alluring world inspired by the movie “Tangled”. The iconic Rapunzel’s Tower is nestled in the valley, and as evening falls, the entire forest is bathed in a warm glow emanating from the tower, lamps illuminating the pathways, a radiant restaurant, boathouse windows, and lanterns adorning the surroundings.
It also features a water-based attraction "Rapunzel's Lantern Festival," where guests embark on a romantic boat trip to experience the annual Lantern Festival and visit other locations from the film. During the 5-minute ride, visitors will encounter Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, witnessing their love story unfold amidst the magical Lantern Festival. The journey includes moments like Rapunzel singing from her tower and concludes with the breathtaking scene of the couple singing "I See the Light" amidst an abundance of lanterns illuminating the night sky.
Additionally, Rapunzel's Forest offers The Snuggly Duckling, a whimsical counter-service restaurant inspired by the tavern in the movie where lively characters gather. Hidden behind lush foliage and partially integrated with a massive leafy tree, the 620-seat venue captures the atmosphere of the tavern and nearby stable. The menu at The Snuggly Duckling boasts delightful options such as the Duckling's Dream Cheeseburger, featuring a succulent patty and sausage nestled within a vibrant yellow duck-themed bun. For those with a sweet tooth, the restaurant offers the Sweet Ever After Dessert (Lemon and Strawberry), creatively served in a frying pan reminiscent of Rapunzel's protective tool in the film.
Peter Pan’s Never Land
Inside Peter Pan's Never Land, visitors can explore the towering pirate ship, dine in a secret hideaway nestled deep within the island, and face off against the notorious pirates, embarking on a thrilling adventure as a member of the Lost Boys.
Additionally, guests can also visit Pixie Hollow, the home of Tinker Bell. The land features two attractions: Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure and Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies, which the former takes guests on an epic journey throughout Neverland to rescue John from Captain Hook and his pirates, encountering beloved characters such as Wendy, Michael, the mermaids, and Tiger Lily along the way, while the latter allows guests to help Tinker Bell as she starts her new delivery service in Pixie Hollow, delivering packages to the fairies.
