Frozen Ever Now Closed for ‘Character Upgrade’. Frozen Ever After Voyage to Arendelle aboard an ancient Nordic vessel as you take a musical tour of the wintery world of Frozen. See your favorite Frozen character animatronics, Sven, Olaf, Elsa, Anna, and Kristof. The attraction, which opened in 2016, is now closed today, January 26, 2026, for an animatronic Character Upgrade. The attraction will reopen sometime in February 2026, but no specific date was revealed.
From the Walt Disney World Website: “Frozen Ever After will temporarily close for refurbishment on January 26, 2026, and reopen in February 2026 with updates to Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff Audio-Animatronics figures.”
Disney will refresh the main character Audio-Animatronics figures at the Frozen Ever After attraction in EPCOT’s Norway pavilion. The updates will affect the Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff figures. Many of these figures were groundbreaking in the world of Audio-Animatronics, not just as part of the first Frozen attraction, but also as the first attraction to have all-electric Audio-Animatronics figures, and the first to combine electric motors and 3D printing.
Epcot International Festival of the Arts is happening now in the Park. Expect other attractions to soak up some of the crowds. There may be some longer waits at rides like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
The EPCOT ride, Frozen Ever After, opened in 2016 and features all-electric Audio-Animatronics, a technology Disney has since expanded to attractions like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The upcoming investment aims to give the characters a more movie-accurate appearance.
