Welcome to World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland

If you’re a fan of Disney’s “Frozen” movies, then you’re in for a treat. World of Frozen is the first and largest “Frozen” themed land in the world, and it’s right here at Hong Kong Disneyland. As soon as you step into this magical place, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported straight into the kingdom of Arendelle, the enchanting hometown of Queen Anna and Elsa.

A Personal Journey Through Arendelle

From the moment you enter, you’ll be greeted by the familiar melodies from the “Frozen” films, beautifully re-arranged to create an immersive atmosphere. The music alone is enough to give you chills (pun intended). As you wander through the land, you’ll notice the architecture inspired by traditional Nordic culture, which adds an authentic touch to the experience.

One of my favorite things to do here is to indulge in the delicious Nordic-inspired cuisine. Whether it’s the seafood stew or the classic meatballs at the Golden Crocus Inn, every bite is a delight. And don’t even get me started on the desserts at Northern Delights – they’re simply irresistible!

Top Attractions You Can’t Miss

Frozen Ever After: This delightful boat ride is a must for any “Frozen” fan. You’ll journey through the North Mountain, see the magnificent Ice Palace, and witness Elsa’s magical powers up close. The ride is filled with heartwarming scenes and well-known songs from the movies, making it a truly magical experience.
Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs: If you’re looking for a bit of thrill, this high-speed family coaster is perfect. It’s exclusive to World of Frozen and takes you on an exciting adventure through the natural beauty of Arendelle. Just make sure you meet the height requirement and are in good health to enjoy this ride.
Playhouse in the Woods: This interactive show is a unique experience where you can join Anna, Elsa, and Olaf in a captivating performance. The blend of projection mapping, special effects, and sensory elements makes it a show you won’t want to miss.

Must-Do Experiences in Arendelle

King Agnarr Bridge: Capture stunning photos of Arendelle Castle, the village, and the Bay of Arendelle. The view of the North Mountain and the Ice Palace is breathtaking.
Facepainting and Styling at Traveling Traders: Get into the spirit of Arendelle with facepainting and styling services. It’s a fun way to fully immerse yourself in the culture.
Souvenirs at Tick Tock Toys & Collectibles: Don’t forget to pick up some unique souvenirs and wooden toys. You can even send postcards to loved ones from the Royal Post of Arendelle.
