Welcome to Arendelle: Disneyland Paris Welcomes New World of Frozen Villagers

20 days prior to its official grand opening, Disneyland Paris welcomed more than 350 cast members who have been selected to become true Arendelle villagers at World of Frozen.

What's Happening:

• The future inhabitants of World of Frozen crossed the waters of the fjord and followed the paths of the North Mountain to settle in the village, ahead of its official opening on March 29.
• The welcoming committee, comprised of Queens Anna and Elsa, along with Fredrik, royal emissary, and the 2026–2027 Disneyland Paris Ambassadors, Mónica and Agathe, prepared unforgettable surprises for the new villagers of Arendelle.

• Each new villager received an official name badge bearing their name, allowing visitors to easily identify them during the magical Snowflower Festival.

• The search for cast members to inhabit World of Frozen began last summer, from chefs for the Nordic Crowns Tavern, to royal attendants at Arendelle Castle's Royal Encounter, or guides on a cruise to Elsa's Ice Palace aboard Frozen Ever After.
• Queens Anna and Elsa opened their private dining room at Nordic Crowns Tavern to allow royal emissaries to immerse candidates in every corner of the village without them ever leaving their seats.

• To immortalize this momentous occasion, all of the new villagers gathered for a group portrait in the village square.

• You can see more from this moment in the video below, which is in French.
