ANAHEIM – The Kingdom of Arendelle is coming to town.

Disney will announce today that four new main attractions based on the wildly successful “Frozen” movie will take over Hollywood Land in Disney California Adventure, and a “Frozen” show will be added at Disneyland.

The California Adventure attractions will open this month and next and last into spring:

• “For The First Time In Forever: A Musical Sing-Along,” a 25-minute show in a 600-seat theater that engages the audience. Historians from fictional Arendelle, along with characters Anna, Elsa and Kristoff, will retell their story and sing with the crowd.

• “Olaf’s Snow Fest,” a meet and greet with Olaf. Guests can play in snow until their pager alerts them that it’s time to see the popular snowman and give him what he craves in the movie, “warm hugs.”

• “Freeze the Night – A Family Dance Party,” where kids and adults can dance, with the latter able to get cocktails.

• The main characters of “Frozen,” Princess Anna and Queen Elsa, will move from Disneyland, where their meet and greet has drawn two-hour lines.

On Dec. 20, Anna and Elsa will begin making daily appearances in California Adventure, and previews of the other three attractions may be available at times to guests leading up to their official opening date, Jan. 7.

Also on Jan. 7, at Disneyland, a retelling of the “Frozen” story by vaudeville-style performers Mr. Smythe and Mr. Jones will begin its run.

“I’m really excited to bring something to life in the park that resonates with so many of our guests,” said Sue Hamilton, a Disneyland Resort show director.

Since the movie’s release in November 2013, “Frozen” has become a global phenomenon for the Walt Disney Co. The movie, which won two Academy Awards, is the fifth-highest-grossing film of all time, earning more than $1.27 billion worldwide.

“Frozen” merchandise has brought in an additional $1 billion, according to The New York Times. A “Frozen” film sequel appears to be in the works.

At California Adventure, “Frozen” will take over three buildings that until recently housed MuppetVision 3D, Character Close-Up and private events.

Guests will enter this part of Hollywood Land by walking beneath a tall, icy archway. “It’s an icy world with lots of ‘Frozen’-esque decor,” Hamilton said.

Each day, ice sculptors will carve four giant blocks into images specific to “Frozen.” Children will play in a “Frozen”-themed game area. Guests can take photos with Marshmallow, Elsa’s snow monster in the film.

At Stage 17, next to the Monsters Inc. attraction, guests waiting for Olaf can play in a snow area or decorate Olaf-shaped cookies and sip hot cocoa while listening to live music.

“It’ll really look like you stepped outside the castle of Arendelle,” Hamilton said.

Each evening at 6 p.m., the “Freeze the Night – A Family Dance Party” will break out, with deejays and other performers. An ice-themed bar will serve beverages, including alcohol. Marshmallow will make an appearance.

Aside from meeting Anna and Elsa, guests can take classes in the Animation Building to learn to draw Olaf or Marshmallow.

Signaling that Disney officials expect the “Frozen” attractions to be an immediate hit, the park will offer FastPasses for the sing-along at the former MuppetVision 3D theater and the Anna and Elsa meet and greet. FastPasses allow guests to explore other parts of the park instead of waiting in line, returning when it is their turn.

Additionally, Disney will announce today that the kingdom of Arendelle has been added to other miniature towns from “Pinocchio,” “Cinderella” and “The Little Mermaid” that form the landscape on The Storybook Land Canal Boats.

Disney officials say that some of the California Adventure attractions are temporary. But Disney has said that before, only to change strategy when certain temporary attractions become popular. Examples include Disneyland’s Captain EO attraction starring Michael Jackson; California Adventure’s elecTRONica dance party; and Disneyland’s “Legends of the Frontier: Gold Rush,” a live role-playing game.
