It's too bad that they are doing so much that is Frozen themed and then don't set up a character meet and greet.
Just so you know DLRPWonders, you made a typo: Olad, not Olaf :D
No meet and Greet planned with any of the Frozen characters even though they have a whole season dedicated to them. If this is true then what a stupid decision as people will want to meet these characters especially Anna and Elsa. Christmas proved these characters have a huge fan base.
I suspect that decision will be reversed before the season commences
I'm not planning on going as this doesn't interest me in the the slightest but It'll be nice to have something going on in that area of the park.
As for the meet and greets Im sure they know how popular they were at Christmas but maybe they just have no way of managing the queue levels that would be expected or maybe not having a meet and greet is better then guests complaining about the queue times. (Didn't it get up to 5 hours in the Christmas Holidays?)
They are stuck in what to do IE a meet and greet. As you say there were massive queues at christmas but what can they do to solve the problem apart from not have meet and greet with Anna and Elsa.
I think they have to do the best they can but have to offer the opportunity and let people make up their own mind if they want to queue 5 hours to meet them. You feel a bit robbed if you don't have the opportunity to choose.
Adverts are being aired over here in the UK for this upcoming season. It's good to see they are increasing the advertising for the resort.
I've not seen Frozen summer adverts in Belgium yet, but that doesn't mean they won't be happening soon.
I have to agree with dazzle, why not allow people to make up their own mind whether or not they want to queue for something for hours. It's not like in peak season some rides don't get a 2+ hours queue (ok that's not 5 hours but hey, if people want to queue that long, I say let them).
Maybe if they would do several little meet areas they could break up the queues so to speak.
If they would put Anna and Elsa in separate locations,and then Kristof and Olaf in separate spots, you get more areas where something is happening, and you don't build up one massively huge queue in one spot. Possibly you get 4 long ones ones sure, but they won't be ridiculously massive like a 5 hour one.
Official press release:
"Let it go" this summer with
Frozen at Disneyland® Paris
It's official: Disneyland® Paris will celebrate the 5th highest-grossing film ever this summer. Frozen, which has racked up more than 5 million ticket sales in France, will take centre stage from 1 June to 13 September 2015. The famous sisters, Anna and Elsa, will appear on stage with Olaf, their adorable snowman, in a spectacular event that will give guests chills!
New show: "Frozen Sing-along"
After catching a sneak peak of them in the famous Disneyland® Park Parade and meeting them to pose for pictures last Christmas, Disneyland Paris guests will be able to sing along with the stars of Frozen this summer! Enjoy this unique live experience with the heroes of the greatest Disney hit of all time.
Starting June 1st, the world of Frozen will appear in Frontierland in Disneyland Park, with a brand new show. An ice-themed musical production combining singing and dancing with guest participation. The famous sisters, Anna and Elsa, along with their faithful companions, Kristoff and Olaf the funny snowman, will take to the stage to bring the show to life and expand the unique experience of Frozen live. They'll be surrounded by dancers straight out of the Kingdom of Arendelle.
As the show begins, the villagers are preparing to celebrate the Arendelle winter festival. The intrepid Princess Anna appears and welcomes guests to the snowy universe of the Kingdom of Arendelle. She invites them to help her create a surprise for her sister, Elsa, asking them to join together as a choir. The show is a wonderful occasion to experience, relive and participate in the most beautiful musical moments of the greatest Disney success story of all time.
Olaf, renowned as the only snowman in the world capable of dreaming of heat and sunshine, will also join the party live on stage. To celebrate his longed-for summer, guests are encouraged to sing along, while he dreams innocently of sun tans and beaches!
Among the highlights is an emotionally charged performance of the unforgettable song "Let it go" by Elsa. [The French version of "Let it go" ("Libérée, Délivrée", sung by Anaïs Delva) has over 45 million hits on YouTube].

A special Frozen feature in Disney Dreams®!

"Disney Dreams®!" tells a magical and moving story. Guided by Peter Pan, guests discover, or re-discover, the greatest Disney stories, from Beauty and the Beast to Aladdin, not forgetting Rapunzel and many others.

This feature is vibrant and full of emotion, thanks to a specially re-orchestrated version of Let it go and the special effects expertise of Disneyland Paris.
Venue: Sleeping Beauty Castle, 7 days a week, Disneyland Park
Come to Disneyland Paris between 1 June and 13 September 2015 and celebrate a superbly snowy summer with Frozen at Disneyland Paris.
Do you mean french and english at the same show or the show mixed between french and english like they do with disney dreams ?
If I understand the announcement right, there will be up to 12 sing along shows a day!!!
So, to me it is absolutley understandable that there is no Meet & Greet with Anna and Elsa because they are on stage all day. An we all know there is just one Anna and one Elsa :-)
I just saw some fotos from the stage and the village. It is so great!
And it is so thematical and proper for Christmas! I wish they use the time spent in building it and use it at Christmas too. It would be great to exprience something like this at Chaparal Theater.

I suspect it won't.
The Meet & Greet with the leading Frozen ladies in the Princess Pavilion in November/December was pandemonium. Even on the most off-peak of days like for example Tuesday 2nd December, despite that the programme stated tickets would be available from 10:30, guests were waiting impatiently at the entrance to the park at 08:00 and sprinting to be first in line at the Pavilion. In the interest of safety and to avoid guest dissatisfaction they started giving out the tickets when the queue reached a certain size, and they were invariably gone by 09:30. Guests without EMH access didn't stand a chance. And even on return, many guests waited 30-45 minutes, as previous guests had been lingering.
Now, think what would happen if they tried to do those meet & greets in a far busier time of year...
I completely understand the chaos that happened but they need to resolve this because people who visit the resort will want to meet Anna and Elsa the same as they want to meet Mickey Mouse, Rapunzel, Belle etc
The American parks have managed the situation so much better and DLP have to get some advice as they can't be the only resort that doesn't have a Frozen meet and greet. They need to make a Meet Mickey style attraction but for Anna and Elsa.
Apart from that the new show looks amazing by the pictures coming from the resort and the market is very cute.

Couldn't agree more with your comment :) they will be far to busy meeting and greeting!
Having just seen some pictures and videos of the Frozen show, surely that's too much of an investment to shut it down in September? Surely the Frozen area in Frontierland will continue on into the Autumn and Winter especially with so many other attractions closing for refurb?
Or am I just being incredibly naive?
Cringer, you are surely not naive. It's really connected with money, they will do stupid to stop it in autumn. And the area is otherwise dead, so there will be people here again. And a compensation for the big number of refurbishments.
Indeed. This will go on well into 2016. I'm sure they didn't go through all this effort just for the summer season.
I could even imagine that they will expand the market place before christmas season. Plenty of room over there to do so, and christmas is where this place will flourish.
A couple of months ago I was sure i wouldn't go back to DLP before the 25th. But now with Frozen and the Jedi Academy, it seems that the real magic of DLP has started to come back. I don't even care if BTM and IASM will be closed during Halloween and Christmas season. There are now enough reasons to visit ;D
mickey1980, you sound inspiring! I don't regret a second for booking for Christmas.
I imagine the place for winter season with more artificial snow or maybe a border between, like in the movie (not sure if I explained it well). And in the frozen part - Santa Claus' Village.
I really hope they carry all the frozen stuff on as we are booked for January 2016 and all 3 of my girls would love all of this going on at the moment so sad I just cant afford to go again before our booked trip. I agree that they would be mad to just finish it all come September, plenty of money be made on this.
A note on prices – Princess for a Day is €120 including a dress or €55 without one.
Here are some videos I filmed for DLP Guide a couple of weeks ago of the Frozen Summer Fun events - hope you enjoy!
I'm sure I join most people in saying the Sing-along show is far from my favourite stage show ever presented at Disneyland Paris, but it's still fantastic to see anything of the sort back at the park, so it gets my thumbs up. It's also far more impressive than I would have expected when we first heard of the season plans last year and saw that pretty lame Videopolis trial show. Guests seem satisfied, it's in a theatre with sufficient capacity and they're running up to 12 shows a day (!) - what's not to like.
The fountain overture was a real highlight and genuinely magical (although not worth having the Christmas lighting cages on the turrets all day long as I've moaned elsewhere). It's a relief to finally see "Let it Go" in Dreams, and be rid of the Brave scene, although the implementation is actually shockingly poor - it just feels dropped into the show, with no Peter Pan's shadow, no transition from the previous scene, and in fact it doesn't really seem to "fit" where it is in the running order. Coming after The Hunchback of Notre Dame would have flowed better and mixed the show up a bit - it's going to get dull if it's only ever these two scenes which change.

I do not. I expect you can.
Don't know if this has been mentioned earlier somewhere but handy info for anyone planning to go to the Singalong. If you have your own princess with you, and they are in a princess dress, the whole family can be moved to the central seating area in the theatre that is covered in Elsa coloured padding. Just go in as normal and sit down and the cast members will approach you as the place starts to fill. Makes you feel that bit special!
Such a shame this show id finishing 2 days before I arrive on the 15th September. Pitty they can not extend its run for at least another days.
Come on Disneyland Paris, why end such an enjoyable show and why after only 2 months?

Ehm because it's part of Frozen
Summer Fun, and Summer ends in September?
The park needs to get ready for Halloween after that.
You want to see the show? Either go a few days earlier or come back for Christmas.
Hi, can anyone tell me what usually happens between seasons. It's our first time from 24th Sep to 28th. I know dreams ends sep and Halloween doesn't usually begin 1st October . Is that right? Thanks
At the time of your stay you can already see some Halloween decoration put in the park. There is the parade, Disney Dreams. But nothing seasonal and special.

Dreams doesn't end in September.
It will continue to be a daily show for a long time.
But in between seasons nothing happens except the Disney Magic On Parade and Disney Dreams.
Halloween indeed doesn't start until October 1st.
Thanks! Think I was getting confused with the frozen summer.
I think they should make this a full time thing, considering how popular Frozen has become...

After the Summer there will be Halloween, in which Frozen doesn't fit.
But the Sing Along is returning for Christmas, leaving again for Spring and the entire season is returning again next year. ;)
Hi please could anyone tell me what times the show is on please? Im assuming every day too? I just want my little girl to be in her dress ready for this as she will love it! Thank you.
At the moment it runs 12 times a day. Mind the two languages.
Here is the schedule for this week:
http://www.dlpguide.com/calendar/daily-park-schedules/
It will probably drop back to 6 times a day on the 1st of September.
I really enjoyed this, was only there for a day but a normal day with a few frozen bits was fantastic!
Hi guys,
Ah, this is so nice coming back to this forum, after years (literally) of writing in 140 character chunks. :)
So, I got invited to the Frozen Summer Fun European Press Event, back in May 2015, and I wrote a couple of articles about it. If you're interested in reading them, here are the links. I'd be delighted if you have any comments or feedback.
