Once safely seated on the boat you are whisked away to visit with all your Frozen friends. Your journey starts with a ride through the frozen willow forest. Then, you will set off to meet Kristoff’s family, the trolls, in Troll Valley. After checking out the newest crystals, you will be on your way up to the North Mountain, where Queen Elsa herself will serenade you with her favorite song. However, it may be a bit bumpy on your way down the mountain, so hold on tight…
DIStracted Tip: Spoiler alert – the ride does go backwards for about 30 seconds, and then heads down a short slope, so you may want to hug your little ones if they tend to scare easily.
As you make your way into the Bay of Arendelle your Frozen friends will greet you once more. Once back in Arendelle, you can sing along to all your favorite tunes as you partake in the Official Summer Snow Day Party.
When you are back on dry land, you will be lead into the boutique where you can purchase the best in Norwegian couture and accessories. However, as you pass through the store and into the Norway Pavilion, be sure to stop at Royal Sommerhus, where you can take some photos with your favorite Frozen sister duo.
DIStracted Tip: Fast Passes are highly recommended for the Frozen Ever After ride. However, should you not be able to obtain them, be sure to hit this ride as soon as the park opens! Due to popularity, an early visit is your best chance at shorter wait time.
