Soon Disney Guests Can Interact with Olaf Like Never Before
First news of an update to Frozen Ever After at EPCOT, and now a roaming Olaf character to interact with. This is the Frozen news we all needed!
Frozen Ever After Update
When Hong Kong Disneyland's Frozen Ever After welcomed guests, it was quite obvious that our favorite Frozen characters had received an upgrade that ditched the projection screen faces.
Back in October Disney Parks shared, "Cool news: Anna, Elsa and Kristoff Audio-Animatronics figures at EPCOT will be getting refreshed to closely resemble those at Hong Kong Disneyland's World of Frozen."
A date has not yet been provided for when this change may take place, but it is simply a hint of "early next year".
World of Frozen
Although Walt Disney World allows Guests to meet Anna and Elsa and enjoy Frozen Ever After in EPCOT's Norway pavilion, Disney has now created an entire World of Frozen. The first opened in Hong Kong Disneyland, while work is still underway to bring this frozen wonderland to Disneyland Paris.

Now a new friend is coming to the World of Frozen. We'll give you a hint...he likes warm hugs.
New Olaf Roaming Character
Disney Imagineering gives us our first look at the interactive Olaf that will soon come to World of Frozen at both Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
New Olaf walks independently and interacts with guests.
The best part is that he will be able to interact with guests. In our first glimpse, we see what happens if you remove Olaf's carrot nose. Disney Imagineering worked alongside Disney Animation to ensure that all of Olaf's characteristics were accurate.
It is so cute to see him walk around this new World of Frozen. This interactive technology is similar to the magic behind the BDX Droids now located at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
Do you like this new Olaf? Would you like to see him at the other Disney Parks? Share your thoughts with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
