Alongside the footage, Disneyland Pariswrote: “Your journey to the Kingdom of Arendelle is closer than ever! From 29th March at @disneylandparis, enjoy a Royal Encounter as you strike a regal pose alongside their majesties Elsa and Anna! They simply can’t wait to meet you.” The post, shared in both English and French, marks the first time audiences are seeing the characters fully placed within World of Frozen itself—Elsa and Anna, in Arendelle, welcoming guests at last.
The experience places visitors within the castle during the Snowflower Festival, with rooms designed to mirror the world seen on screen. According to Disney, the interiors are filled with story-specific details: paintings and royal family portraits line the walls, textures and colors match those from the films, and carefully placed props reference key moments fans will instantly recognize.
“It allows guests to truly feel transported into Arendelle Castle," Emma Yeates, senior manager of show design at Walt Disney Imagineering in Parist old attraction site Blooloop . “These are not the only hidden details found throughout the experience,” Yeates said. “It is full of references, to the universe of Frozen of course, and more."

In the main encounter room, guests will find a large painting depicting the coronation of King Agnarr, along with the clock that young Anna leans against during “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” These are the kinds of details that Frozen fans have been waiting to see—not concept art, but finished spaces built at full scale.
This first reveal also helps set expectations for the wider land. World of Frozen will include Frozen Ever After, a musical boat ride featuring Anna, Elsa, and their friends, along with a fully realized village environment. Guests will be able to explore Arendelle Bay, the Fountain of Friendship, the Clock Tower, themed retail locations, and Elsa’s Ice Palace perched above the North Mountain.
For fans, this marks the beginning of something long anticipated. After years of planning and construction, World of Frozen is no longer an idea—it’s a place, with walls, artwork, and rooms you can walk through. And if this first look inside Arendelle Castle is any indication, the next chapter at Disneyland Paris is shaping up to be worth the wait.
