If the first words out of your kids’ mouth before the year-end holidays are Frozen, Frozen 2 or both, here’s why. Through its stories, characters, landscapes, culture, music, and cutting-edge technology, the powers that be at Disney (also known as Disney Imagineers) have realised the Frozen story from its movies into a real-life, must-visit travel destination.
The world’s first-ever Frozen-themed land at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort will transport visitors to the living world of Arendelle.
The whole family is invited to embrace this immersive destination, with its captivating stories, beloved characters – say hello to Anna, Elsa, Oaken, Olaf (the global ambassador), Sven, and more! You can also expect stunning landscapes, enchanting music, and cutting-edge technology by celebrating Summer Snow Day and enjoying fun-filled attractions, such as Frozen Ever After and Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs.
“World of Frozen is an integral part of the park’s expansion and growth, and we’re excited to welcome even more guests from around the globe with the launch on Nov 20,” says Michael Moriarty, the resort’s managing director.
It brings to life several iconic scenes from the movies. A few of its signature spots include the North Mountain, the Ice Palace, where Elsa unleashes her icy powers for the first time, the Arendelle Castle, home of the royal family, and the Bay of Arendelle, where Anna fell on the fishing boat when she met Prince Hans.
Take a Frozen Ever After journey to meet Elsa at her ice palace and enjoy a unique interactive play experience with Anna and Elsa at Playhouse in the Woods as part of the Summer Snow Day celebration. To show their love for the royal sisters, girls get to wear rosemaling patterned clothes, glittering ice-inspired face paint, and style their hair like Elsa or Anna.
A visit to Arendelle would not be complete without indulging in all kinds of food and exploring the charming shops that reflect Nordic culture and history. Try local delicacies inspired by traditional Nordic dishes at The Golden Crocus Inn and Bayside Wharf.
For a delightful shopping experience, visit Tick Tock Toys & Collectibles and Traveling Traders. And complete your Arendelle experience by staying at one of the enchanting resort hotels and participating in themed recreation activities.
With so many things to see and do, the kids might have a hard time trying to “let it go” after one visit – and so do you. Just blame it on the Disney magic.
