Hong Kong Disneyland Resort’s World of Frozen, the world’s first and largest Frozen themed land, is set to open on 20 November 2023.
The Frozen-themed land is inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ films, “Frozen” and “Frozen 2”, two of the biggest animated films of all time. Stepping inside the World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, guests will be transported to the land of Arendelle.
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort Frozen Themed Land: World of Frozen
At World of Frozen, guests get to explore the land of Arendelle along with its stories, characters, culture and landscapes.
The major attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort’s World of Frozen include:
- Frozen Ever After
- Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs
This will also be enchanting music, and cutting-edge technology used for the first time time to celebrate Summer Snow Day on the Frozen Ever After ride. Guests can experience the Summer Snow Day celebration for themselves by taking a Frozen Ever After journey to meet Elsa at her Ice Palace that is open to all for the first time.
Summer Snow Day commemorates the day that Anna saved Elsa and the kingdom with an act of true love.
Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs is another ride where guests can on an adventure.
They can also enjoy an interactive play experience with Anna and Elsa at Playhouse in the Woods.
In addition, World of Frozen brings a number of iconic scenes from the Frozen movies to life with its theming.
The Frozen-themed land is inspired by Norway and this is reflected in its scenery, architectural design, clothing and cuisine.
All of these have been infused with rich Norwegian elements, including “Dragestil” (dragon style) architectural style, Balestrand’s asymmetrical architecture, and rosemaling floral decorative paintings.
Some of signature spots at World of Frozen include:
- the North Mountain, with its peak as the highest point in Arendelle;
- the Ice Palace where Elsa unleashes her icy powers freely for the first time; Arendelle Castle, home of the royal family;
- the Bay of Arendelle, featuring the small fishing boat that Anna fell on when she met Prince Hans, Clock Tower where Anna danced with Prince Hans; and
- Friendship Fountain where Elsa uses her magical powers to freeze its water into beautiful snowflake ornamentations.
The themed land is designed to seamlessly integrate the World of Frozen with Lantau Island’s natural landscape and the design of North Mountain, providing guests with expansive views of both. There is a seamless transition between the artificial landforms and natural surroundings.
As guests walk around they may notice the enchanting music, the result of award-winning composer Andrew Cottee’s rearrangement of the iconic music from the movies for World of Frozen
The cinematic music is designed to tell stories and form strong emotional connections with guests, allowing them to feel the story of Frozen with different senses.
To make it even more immersive, guests can dress up in special outfits. They can wear rosemaling patterned clothes, add glittering ice-inspired face paint, and style the hair like Elsa or wear a cape like Anna to show the love for the royal sisters.

The Magic of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
Disney Imagineers spent over three years in concept and design, working in partnership with artists and storytellers from Walt Disney Animation Studios, to accurately depict cinematic features in World of Frozen.
This meant analysing ice textures, colours, and how these relate to Elsa’s emotions to recreate her Ice Magic.
Great attention was paid to every detail including various forms of ice and snow, and different materials were studied and experimented to truly represent the Ice Palace and icy ornaments.
Frozen Ever After is the first attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort to feature Walt Disney Imagineering’s most advanced, all-electric Audio-Animatronics figures, which bring to life characters like Anna, Elsa and Kristoff with amazing realism.
