INTRODUCTION

Board a wooden ship and sail through the fantastical world of the film “Frozen,” seeing Anna, Elsa, Olaf the Snowman, Kristof and more along the way.

ATTRACTION

Anna and Elsa and Olaf in Frozen Ever After in EpcotAllEars.Net’s Deb Wills shares this first-hand report of her initial voyage on Frozen Ever After from June 21, 2016:

“Everyone on my boat laughed and cheered several times. I felt the ride was great and will definitely ride it again. Since I am local and visit the parks whenever I want, I would not wait for this ride, though — I will make sure I have a FP+. If you are from out of town and aren’t able to get a FP+, I’d wait for it for an hour maximum. I did not video the attraction or take photos as I wanted to simply enjoy it as a guest.”

Bottom line, without giving any spoilers: Frozen Ever After is the next generation dark ride. It’s very well done, with great Audio-Animatronics, and a lot of fun!

If however, you don’t mind spoilers, here’s our video of the attraction:

TOURING TIPS

Lightning Lane access for Frozen Ever After is available for purchase as an Individual Attraction Selection. It is EXTREMELY popular with long standby lines. To avoid a long wait ride soon after park opening.

Be aware that this ride is only a little over 5 minutes long.

Accessibility:  Guests must transfer from wheelchair/ECV. Handheld captioning is available.

Rider Switch (aka Child Swap) is available at this attraction.

A Ride Photo is available, but no video.

Frozen Ever After is what is known as a “dark ride,” meaning it’s one in which vehicles travel past illuminated scenes of a story. It doesn’t have to actually be dark, but in this case, it really is. Keep that in mind if anyone in your group has an intense fear of the dark. However, the animated animatronics and other special effects generally keep the attraction lit well enough to not be scary for little ones.

There are two small hills. Both make the boat ride fun without being frightening. Think Pirates of the Caribbean, not Splash Mountain.

Children younger than 7 years old must ride this attraction with someone who is 14 or older.
