Description And Comments

Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey is the marquee attraction in Fantasy Springs. It takes the classic Fantasyland dark ride formula where they retell a Disney animated movie and amps it up to stratospheric levels. Inside Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey you’ll find a lavishly detailed queue that is an attraction of its own. If you’re using a Priority Access pass you’ll skip almost all of this and go into the load/unload area.

What strikes us most about Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey is that every scene has a “wow” moment. For example, during the Do You Want to Build a Snowman? scene, it starts out by showing a young Anna knocking at the door, only for the whole scene to rotate revealing young Elsa who proceeds to freeze the door shut. The effect is achieved with special lighting and crystal clear projections.

Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey is the epic scale. The scenes are so massive that most other Disney rides can't compare. Imagine the room with the AT-ATs from Rise of the Resistance, but instead of one room, it’s every almost scene. The building Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey is housed in is rumored to be over 95,000 square feet and Imagineers masterfully took advantage of this space. For comparison, Indiana Jones Adventure in Disneyland is a little over 57,000 square feet. Also, we consider the animatronics on this ride to be the best looking and most realistic animatronics ever produced. While the ride does use screens in a hand full of places, the rest of the ride is a full on animatronic spectacle.

Touring Tips

Starting on April 1, 2025, standby lines are available for all four rides in Fantasy Springs. Gone are the hard-to-get standby passes and restricted entry that have been a part of the land since it opened in 2024. Now all visitors can show up and get in any line they want, as long as they are willing to wait of course. Priority Access are still available for Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey, Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, and Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure.

Priority Access: Priority Access is the paid line skipping service that can be purchased in the Tokyo Disney Resort app. The benefit of Priority Access is that you will have minimal wait for the attractions you purchase it for. Each Priority Access costs 2000 yen, or about $13 USD. Priority Access is available for Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey, Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, and Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure. After purchasing Priority Access you'll be given a return time. When your time arrives, go to the attraction's Priority Access line entrance where you'll walk through a queue much shorter than the standby queue. Wait times for Priority Access attractions range from 5 to 20 minutes.
