I saw this on a Disney blog and thought everyone here might be interested in seeing it too.

I have mixed feelings about the attraction  On the one hand, Maelstrom was in need of an update. Badly. On the other hand, I don't think Disney should be fictionalizing EPCOT, considering the World Showcase is meant to celebrate real countries. Not to mention the fact that that ride building is pretty small, and from what I've heard they're just using the ride that's already there. In which case, my hopes are not high...

Sorry, I'm a Disney parks fan when I'm not on the Arena!

Anyway, I tried for Coronation Elsa again! Hoping this one actually shows up  But she's missing a rhinestone or two on her bodice, so I'm gonna have to figure out how to replace that.

Hey wait... it wasnt *you* who bought floating hand Elsa was it?   
    

You found me out! I had to have such a unique piece in my collection, and what a bargain price for her, too!

No, Coronation Elsa it is! I'm crossing my fingers that she ships soon, because the suspense I killing me! It's also killing me that she's gonna have to live at home, but I'm just super excited to finally have her!

She's been relisted for a higher price 

Search "elsa classic doll error" and witness the madness (not sure if we can post live auction links?)

[Ringlets]

Nope we cant post the link unfortunately, but its easy enough to find her
(*is still LOLing @ higher price*     )

Moss I really wish you all the best in getting you hands on Coronation Elsa this time   dont worry about the Rhinestones - its pretty easy to buy those at a hobbycraft or similar store

EDIT: Wait wait wait.... so they are putting a fictional setting.... in Epcot? LOL thats so weird!! Are they closing down just the ride or are they replacing the whole country pavillion? I REALLY wanted to take my hisband to the resturaunt during the food and wine festival which ALWAYS fall on our marriage anniversery, it would be a shame if they replaced all of Norway with Arendale! I think maybe they should have put the Arendale attractionin Magic Kingdom, seems more fitting, yes?

[Moss]

The last time I was there (about a month ago), I think they'd stopped the masks/cutouts/stamps altogether, but don't quote me on that. And as far as the restaurant goes (if you mean the sit down one?) that's been a Princess character meal for a few years. I do hope the bakery stays, though!

But yeah, it's just not the right park for Frozen. Sounds like Disney wanted to put something in as fast and as cheaply as possible. Which, considering how much money Frozen made them, is really disappointing. But then again, Norway itself didn't seem to care much about the pavilion, so I can't say I can blame Disney for seeing the opportunity. I'm just disappointed that a) it's gonna mess up the World Showcase theme and b) Frozen will probably never get a well themed, dedicated space (in Fantasyland!) and this'll be it.

Plus the lines! The pavilion is so tiny, and between the ride and meet and greet lines, it'll be horrific!

In my opinion, the whole "Frozen" idea could work for the ride (Not that I'm a fan of it, but the park is getting it anyways). The thing is, the ride needs to be done correctly. If they want to tie in Frozen, that's fine, BUT the need to connect it more to the country's history/culture then the actual story of Frozen. Much like the ride in the Mexico Pavilion with Donald and his gang, they were able to combine the cartoon with real life culture in the ride. If they do this with Frozen, I think it could be better than Malstorm, as it did when I was younger scare me as a kid, but only if they use the Frozen characters to teach the guests about Norway and not just tell the story of the movie everyone's seen 20 times.

Moss: thanks! Glad someone else feels its not the right Park for the attraction! And OMG yes it was a bakery! I LOVED their little bakery!!!! <3 I got to eat in the princess resturant with Snow White back in 2006ish!

okamigirl: i TOTALLY agree!!! I really hope they put tons of Norwegian culture into the attraction. Im 3 gens Scandinavian decendant and it makes me kind of sad to know most people didnt really care much for Norway or much of Scandinavia until Frozen came out. I honestly saw lots of scandinavian architecture, boats, and flower designs, 'rosemaling' older folks will call it, in the film but it still lacked a lot of culture I hope the attraction will deliver that was missing from the movie. What bothered me in the movie the most is the lack of accents LOL! Although Pixar is a different section of Disney, I like what they did with Brave (accents, clothing, designs, folklore, etc). I dont want people to like Scandinavia because of Frozen, I want them to like it for what it is and what makes those countries unique!

I saw a young Elsa, young Anna and the rock trolls set today. It was really cute. The dolls look like they are about 5-6inches high.

Based on what the Parks blog has said, it sounds like it's just going to be a retelling of the movie  Can't say I was ever a huge fan of Maelstrom, it's just the principle of the thing that bothers me. And I was so hoping for a big themed area in the Magic Kingdom. I was discussing it with someone online not that long ago. We'd planned it near the Rivers of America, and part of the water could be "frozen" over. They'd have Arendelle's castle and marketplace as the area to walk around (with restaurants and chocolate shops, of course!) and the darkride would be "in" the castle. We thought the ride could be done with sleds as cars, maybe even trackless like the new Ratatouille ride. Elsa's ice palace could be in the distance, like the new Beast's castle. It was a great plan, and I know it wasn't going to be exactly like that. But still, I'm disappointed that the big ride Frozen deserves is just gonna be an overlay of an existing ride, where it doesn't belong at all.

Anyway, rant over!

Someone on a Disney forum I frequent posted pictures of new Coronation plush dolls for both of the girls! Can we post things from other people's flickrs if we give credit?

[Ponyfan]

The US Disneystore.com has some new items today. They don't have dolls but they have some other things.

Thanks for sharing! Wowow guys there is soooo much Frozen random merch I cant take pictures of it all! Everywhere I go I spot new stuff!! Soooo much new Frozen stuff! No new dolls yet however!

[Ponyfan]

I'm seeing a lot of new Frozen merchandise too especially at Target in the dollar section. I finally got the Elsa and Anna party plates. Does anyone have the jewelry box from the Disney store online? It looks nice online but does it look as nice in person? I'm a little worried that the description says cardstock (I'm assuming the box is made of cardstock. )


Did the full Frozen on Ice show get removed from Youtube? I tried to find it but all I could find was clips from the show.

There are still a few videos up, it just takes a bit of hunting. And the full shows keep getting removed, I think. Also, there's apparently exclusive merch for the ice show! They have dolls of the girls that are a little different than the Disney Store ones. I saw pics of Anna on tumblr, actually. Her face is a bit rounder, and she's got less makeup and such. They look nice. And they have a bunch of other stuff, too! Speaking of merch...

Here are some pics from a mall run this weekend! The first two are from Claire's. They had a whole bunch of stuff, but these things were the most... interesting

The first Anna braids are a headband, and the Elsa braid is a clip-in. The baseball hat had the braids on it, too. Actually, they had baseball hat hair things for most of the Princesses.

And look who I found in JC Penney! Finally grabbed her for my sister! These are a bit small than the Disney Store plushes, but they're just as detailed.
