EPCOT’s Frozen Ever After to Close Jan. 26 for Animatronic Upgrades

Disney plans more film‑accurate figures with physical faces, with reopening anticipated in February.

Overview

  • The Norway Pavilion boat ride will shut down on January 26, making January 25 the final full day to ride before refurbishment begins.
  • Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff figures will be updated to smoother, less bulky animatronics that use realistic physical faces instead of projected ones.
  • Disney has not announced an exact reopening date, stating only that the attraction is expected to return sometime in February.
  • Anna and Elsa will continue meeting guests at Royal Sommerhus during the ride’s downtime.
  • Visitors are being advised to prioritize the attraction before the closure and to adjust plans with options such as early visits, Lightning Lane, or nearby alternatives like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
