Disney opens 'World of Frozen' at Paris park in €2-billion expansion

Chessy, France: The kingdom of Arendelle in Disney's "Frozen" now has a permanent address just east of Paris, complete with a lagoon, a wooden Nordic village and a robotic snowman that talks back to children. Walt Disney Studios Park officially becomes Disney Adventure World on Sunday with the opening of "World of Frozen," a centerpiece in a €2 billion ($2.18 billion) expansion reshaping Europe's most-visited theme park.

The enchanted land at Disneyland Paris features the Frozen Ever After boat ride and character encounters with Anna and Elsa. The broader relaunch adds a vast central lake, a "Tangled" attraction, 15 new dining locations and a nighttime spectacular using what Disney calls the world's first combined aquatic and aerial drone system.
