Based on an original idea from Walt Disney himself, Le Pays des Contes de Fées (The Land of Fairy Tales) is a reimagination of the Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction that debuted at Disneyland in 1956.

The new “Frozen” and “Winnie the Pooh” scenes will join other Paris-exclusive miniatures, including Night on the Bald Mountain from “Fantasia,” Belle’s Village from “Beauty and the Beast,” and Rapunzel’s Tower from “Tangled.”

“There’s something magical about taking something full scale and displaying it in miniature – it’s something Walt himself was obsessed with,” shares Walt Disney Imagineering Art Director Keith Rector. “I grew up near Disneyland in California and Storybook Land has always been my favorite attraction. When I joined the team in Paris, we started a conversation about how we can bring new stories to Le Pays des Contes de Fées. I wanted to introduce new characters to this realm of storybook classics.”

For the First Time in Forever

In addtion to the all-new “Frozen-“themed land is currently under construction at Walt Disney Studios Park, “Frozen” will also come to life in miniature in Fantasyland at Disneyland Park.
