Anna, Elsa and Kristoff to Get Next-Gen Sculpted Animatronics at EPCOT in Early 2026

Disney says the figures will use World of Frozen technology for more lifelike, truer-to-film faces.

Overview

  • Disney confirmed the update focuses on the three principal figures in Frozen Ever After: Anna, Elsa and Kristoff.
  • The change replaces the attraction’s rear‑projected facial systems with physical, articulated sculpts inspired by Hong Kong Disneyland.
  • The company is targeting early 2026 for the rollout, but has not announced specific installation dates or any temporary closure.
  • Disney frames the project as a “full circle” application of advances developed since the ride’s 2016 debut with all‑electric, 3D‑printed animatronics.
  • The timeline positions the refresh to align with Frozen Ever After’s 10th anniversary at EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion.
