The world’s first Disney Frozen Festival is set to kick off tomorrow (November 30). In addition to a 12-meter Ice Crystal Christmas Tree, the event will feature various interactive experiences and merchandise. On the opening day, November 30, the organizers have specially invited Elsa and Olaf from Hong Kong Disneyland to make an appearance. Visitors holding a Frozen Passport that day can join a lucky draw, with the chance to interact with Elsa and Olaf. There will be three sessions daily, each limited to 50 groups on a first-come, first-served basis.

The “Disney Frozen Festival” took two years to plan and was guided by the American Frozen animation team from overseas. Inspired by the short film “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure,” the festival recreates scenes from the movie. There are also plenty of photo opportunities, such as the 5-meter-tall snow monster at the entrance, Anna, Elsa, and the ice castle, the adorable Sven and Olaf, as well as the 12-meter-high Ice Crystal Magic Christmas Tree.

The festival features a variety of DIY activities, including Olaf plush DIY, Frozen星空 candle DIY, Frozen diffuser brick DIY, snowball games, a Frozen customization shop, karaoke, and a limited-edition Frozen-themed tote bag sales area. Additionally, you can dress up as Elsa or Anna and have professional photographers take your photos in movie-themed settings. You’ll receive one printed photo (with frame) for a fee of 330 TWD (or 6 experience vouchers).

Each activity at the festival requires between 1 to 10 experience vouchers. Visitors can purchase a 500 TWD Frozen Passport, which includes 10 experience vouchers and a complimentary limited-edition Frozen transparent water cup, or pay with cash.

Additionally, the “Town Square Market” within the park sells thousands of officially licensed Frozen and full Disney series merchandise. Be prepared to empty your wallet here – it’s incredibly tempting.
