Frozen Ever After soft-opened to guests on the afternoon of Feb. 11, 2026, ahead of its announced Feb. 12 official reopening date.
The boat ride debuted in 2016 at the Walt Disney World park near Orlando, Fla., with projected faces for Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff. When a new version of the ride opened in 2023 at Hong Kong Disneyland, fully sculpted faces were utilized instead of the projected faces. These versions of the Audio-Animatronics figures are now at Epcot.
The ride was down for only a few weeks to install the new figures, having closed on Jan. 26.
Take a look at our video comparing the differences in the two versions of the Audio-Animatronics figures of Epcot’s original version vs. the Hong Kong Disneyland version:
A third version of Frozen Ever After will open on March 29, 2026, at Walt Disney Studios Park, soon to be renamed Disney Adventure World, at Disneyland Paris. A different ride altogether, Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey, opened at Tokyo DisneySea in 2024.
