Arendelle Celebration at Disneyland Paris — our take on the Frozen show during the winter break

Disneyland Paris has been presenting since March 29, 2026 Celebrations in Arendelle, a new musical show based on Frozen, performed several times a day at Disney Adventure World, on Arendelle Bay, in the heart of World of Frozen. This participatory format of about fifteen minutes invites guests to meet Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff in a staging designed for the whole family. The show also takes a break from November 7, 2026 to April 2, 2027 inclusive.

NOTE: The show is on hiatus from November 7, 2026, to April 2, 2027, inclusive.

Disneyland Paris is reshaping the Frozen universe with Celebration in Arendelle, a daytime musical show in World of Frozen, at Disney Adventure World, available since March 29, 2026. This lineup invites visitors to soak up the Arendelle vibe in a family-friendly experience.

Basically, you'll have the chance to enjoy multiple showings each day, each lasting about fifteen minutes, right on the Arendelle Bay. There, Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff celebrate the kingdom alongside local villagers. Set across from the water, visitors are encouraged to sing along to the iconic songs from the franchise—an experience specially designed for families and musical lovers alike.

Longships on Arendelle Bay and new songs for Celebration in Arendelle

On the Bay, three Viking longships have transformed into stunning floating stages for Celebration in Arendelle. Built in partnership with Couach Construction Navale, a French company based on the Arcachon Basin, and decorated by long-standing partners of Disneyland Paris, these ships set the scene in a Nordic-inspired backdrop. Kristoff’s longship, in particular, was painted by Prelud, a company located near Dijon.

As you walk by, the first notes of Let It Go or I Seek You will echo around you, making it impossible not to sing along with the crowd. For this exclusive show at the Parisian park, songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Oscar winners for Let It Go, have crafted brand-new songs specifically for Arendelle Bay. This adds fresh material to a repertoire already beloved for hits like The Spring Awakening and In Another World, which have been widely streamed around the world.

Olaf lands on the Bay… and he’s never been more real.

Another reason to stop by the Bay: the debut of a new robotic Olaf, unveiled ahead of the conference by Bruce Vaughn, President of Walt Disney Imagineering. Developed by the R&D teams in partnership with Disney Live Entertainment and the animation studios, this animated character offers interactions that are close to what you’ve seen in the various videos circulating online.

Here, you'll have the chance to see an Olaf in a stunning original size, alongside Anna and Elsa in Celebration in Arendelle. With cutting-edge technology designed to maximize the illusion, it’s a truly immersive experience. If you're planning a family trip to Disneyland Paris, this new attraction at World of Frozen might just become a highlight of your day at Disney Adventure World.

Our verdict on Celebration at Arendelle at World of Frozen, Disneyland Paris:

A show the editorial team could preview before the area opened. Lasting 15 minutes, the three drakkars arrive one after the other (first Kristoff’s, then the villagers, and finally Anna and Elsa) for a festival of songs drawn from the saga’s classics. The performance doesn’t stop at the boats, either, as Arendellian residents come onto the port’s edge to dance and animate the scene.

But don’t think it’s just a string of tunes: there is a storyline, and it’s fairly well told (or at least easy to follow) through dialogue, sometimes in French and sometimes in English. Jets of water, pyrotechnics and even artificial snow (Disney style—foam snowflakes like on Main Street U.S.A. during the Christmas season) await for a convivial, musical moment.

Our recommendations:

With the show unfolding all around Arendelle Bay, you’ll want to snag a good spot to get a proper view. It’s viewable from any angle, since boats circle the bay so everyone can enjoy. We suggest placing yourself between the small lighthouse and the fountain, facing the castle and the Fjord View Shop (you can use our photos to orient yourself) to best see the water jets and the finale we won’t spoil for you.

And if you miss it, no worries: it’s performed several times a day. Just check the park’s app for showtimes. But arrive ahead of time to secure a good view, as the area is fairly small.
