Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap Jul. 17, 2016

This week, we shared a new peek inside the new Frozen Ever After, the first Disney Parks attraction inspired by the film “Frozen,” at Epcot.

Frozen Ever After takes guests on an adventurous journey through the kingdom of Arendelle. Guests visit the “Summer Snow Day” Celebration where Queen Elsa uses her magical powers to create a beautiful “winter-in-summer” day for the kingdom. Check our original story for more details.
