Calling it icing on the cake, Walt Disney World will add a new "Frozen" ride in 2016 at Epcot's Norway Pavilion called "Frozen-world."

Meanwhile, it is capitalizing on the phenomenal popularity of the Disney film by letting young fans meet Elsa, Anna and other characters in the Magic Kingdom.

And move over, Cinderella: Starting Nov. 5, Queen Elsa will turn Cinderella Castle into her ice palace every night during the holiday season, and the characters will appear daily in the park parades. Anna and Elsa are the most popular meet-and-greet characters currently at Disney World, a spokeswoman said.

The park also is introducing a new "Frozen" singalong at Disney Hollywood Studios at the Premiere theater.

The under-construction "Frozen-world" ride at Epcot will be set in a glimmering castle, where visitors will journey through the kingdom of Arendelle experiencing music and scenes from the film.
