Merry Christmas! Frozen Fun is here! The Disneyland Resort has soft-launched a big new lineup of Frozen-themed events, entertainment and attractions in both theme parks just in time for the busy Christmas week. The full Frozen Fun line-up won’t officially open until January 7 but until then, guests can enjoy a limited selection of the new additions. Among those new additions is the addition of Arendelle in Disneyland’s classic Storybook Land Canal Boats, a meet-and-greet with Olaf in California Adventure, and an overlay to that park’s nighttime dance party in Hollywood Land.

The big news over the weekend was the soft-launch of Disneyland’s new Frozen Fun promotion in both theme parks. While the majority of Frozen Fun offerings will be found in Disney California Adventure, Disneyland is also getting in on the act with a couple of new additions as well.

Storybook Land Canal Boats

Disneyland’s most notable Frozen Fun addition isn’t designed to be temporary like the rest of the Frozen additions. On Friday, Fantasyland’s classic Storybook Land Canal Boats unveiled a new Frozen vignette, depicting the movie’s kingdom of Arendelle.

The new Arendelle tableaux is a significant addition, taking over the space that once featured the three Dutch windmills from Disney’s 1937 Academy Award-winning Silly Symphonies cartoon, “The Old Mill.” The windmills have been saved by Walt Disney Imagineering, and will hopefully find another home in Storybook Land or elsewhere in Disneyland in the future.
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

Arendelle has a prime location in Storybook Land, being one of the first things you see rising up across the water after passing through Monstro’s mouth and being one of the last vignettes boats pass before returning to the dock.

With the addition of Arendelle, Storybook Land Cast Members got an updated script to make note of the new Frozen village as well as refreshed lines for the rest of the attraction.

The new Arendelle addition is very nicely crafted and blends in very well with the rest of Storybook Land, especially across from the Pinocchio’s Alpine village, which features a snow-capped mountain range similar to Arendelle’s new mountain range.

The new Storybook Land additions are quite nice and really look lovely. Enjoy a full ride-through of Storybook Land, now featuring Frozen below.

If you’re looking for just the new Frozen part of the ride:

Frozen in Fantasyland

Nearby, Anna and Elsa have vacated their Fantasyland meet-and-greet and moved over to California Adventure, but the Fantasyland location is still decorated for the Frozen sisters.
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

The spot is still a popular photo-op for guests, even without the characters inside.

Olaf has just been switched to his “sleep” mode and no longer talks to guests.

Over in Fantasy Faire, the new “Frozen” stage show hasn’t debuted yet, but will by Frozen Fun’s official January 7 launch.

Frozen Fun at California Adventure

Most of the new Frozen Fun offerings are found in Disney California Adventure’s Hollywood Land. New Frozen Fun banners are up at DCA’s entrance.

And Hollywood Land has plenty of banners as well…

For the First Time in Forever – A Frozen Sing-Along

Muppet*Vision 3D has been evicted from its theater to make way for a new Frozen singalong show, which wasn’t ready to open for this weekend’s soft-launch.
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

New pine trees have been added in front of the Muppet Theater along with a kind of sad smattering of blue Christmas ornaments.
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

Rumor has it that the inside of the theater has pretty much stripped of its Muppet theme for the new Frozen show. That rumor is probably true, as most of the Muppet queue props and theming have also been removed.

Not today.

Olaf’s Snow Fest

Also not ready to open yet, Olaf’s Snow Fest will open in Stage 17 within the next couple weeks. In the meantime, Olaf, who will be meeting guests inside when his Snow Fest is complete, is greeting guests outside.

Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post

The Studio Store is now Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post. Interestingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, so far the store seems to be the Frozen Fun offering in California Adventure that got the biggest budget. Previously a walk-up counter only, the store was opened up, allowing guests to walk into the small store to shop.

The inside of the meet-and-greet is designed to look like the castle interior.

Fastpasses are required for the Anna and Elsa meet-and-greet. And there’s no guarantee who you’ll meet once inside — the Fastpass is for Anna OR Elsa, depending on who is there when it’s your time. Fastpass machines are parked in front of Disney Animation.

Freeze the Night Dance Party

The rest of the Hollywood Studios area is filled with the new Freeze the Night Family Dance Party, a very obviously quick and cheap overlay to the recently-canceled Mad T Party.
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

Lots of blue and gray paint for the overlay, with only minor modifications to exiting props and structures.

Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

Overall, Frozen Fun is an obviously incomplete experience. The full line-up debuts on January 7, and until then offerings will be limited. It’s kind of surprising Disney bothered to even launch the promotion at Disney California Adventure early on December 20 as it was essentially two meet-and-greets, a store, and a half-baked dance party overlay. Without the singalong show and Olaf’s Snow Fest, there really isn’t much to see at Frozen Fun. If you’re planning on visiting before the full lineup of events has launched, don’t get your hopes up. If you’re in the parks, be sure to stop by Storybook Land to see Arendelle, but if you have to go out of your way to see Frozen Fun in California Adventure, don’t bother until January 7.

Retro HoJo fun is just
steps away from Disneyland magic!

You really can’t beat watching Disneyland fireworks from your balcony, seeing the Monorail pass by poolside, or walking less than 10 minutes from your hotel before stepping onto Main Street, U.S.A. — and for nearly 50 years guests of the Howard Johnson Anaheim have enjoyed these luxuries thanks to the HoJo’s incredible location.
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

Indeed, the HoJo’s seven beautiful acres are nestled comfortably across the street from Disneyland, giving HoJo guests great views of the Matterhorn Bobsleds and Disneyland Monorail. These views, along with a short 8-minute, half-mile walk to Disneyland’s turnstiles have been a big draw for guests since the HoJo opened in 1965. Below, a 1960s-era brochure for the Howard Johnson Anaheim showcases its spectacular tower room views and excellent location “opposite of Disneyland.”

Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

The interior of that same brochure really highlights how close Disneyland is.
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

Of course, there are plenty of other hotels in Anaheim that offer rooms within walking-distance to Disneyland, so why all the fuss over the HoJo? Well, unlike other nearby hotels, the HoJo also sits on seven spacious, landscaped acres, providing plenty of elbow room, pools and garden areas that aren’t on rooftops or in parking lots. With plenty of space, the HoJo is also one of the last remaining Disneyland-area hotels to offer ample free parking to its guests. Lots of space while being just steps away from Disneyland — it’s the best of both worlds!
Frozen Fun, Frozen Fun moves into Storybook Land and Hollywood Land at the Disneyland Resort

HoJo guests enjoy 500 feet of Monorail track running alongside the hotel grounds, more than any other Anaheim hotel except for Disney’s own Grand Californian Hotel. Disneyland guests aboard the Monorail get prime views of the HoJo, too, catching glimpses of the HoJo’s Castaway Cove water playground, the wonderful William L. Pereira-designed mid-century modern hotel tower, and the adjacent Mimi’s Cafe Restaurant. Below, a 1960s-era view of the HoJo’s main pool with the Matterhorn rising behind it and a view of that same pool area today, now featuring the Castaway Cove water playground.

Of course, no day at Disneyland is complete without fireworks, and that’s extra true at the HoJo! Do you ever get too tired after a day in the parks but don’t want to miss the fireworks? Well, guests staying in the HoJo’s main tower can just step out on their balcony to see the show only a mere 900 feet away!
