This ride is too short to wait 45-60 mins for in my opinion, but it is pretty great and definitely worth doing if you can get a fast pass or short wait. It's quite cute and an impressive retrofit of an existing ride. I wish it was longer because I enjoy it so much. read more

This show has changed over the years. It was nice to sit down and enjoy. The sprinkles of water were unexpected and felt so good.

I remember this ride before it got frozen-fied and it was called Maelstrom. I was skeptical before I went on it for the first time because I wasn't sure just how they had changed the ride. I did not want to wait 90+ minutes for a ride that I wasn't at least somewhat sure I would like. Then a couple of weekends ago, it just so happened that I was at Epcot with my younger sister (who is 12 y.o) during one of the Disney Marathons and the park was not very busy so the line for Frozen Ever After was only 30 minutes. My sister and I decided to try it since the line was reasonable. I have to say, the boat ride is still the fun ride I remember as a child but now with fun frozen music and visuals. It is a lot of fun! We even got a fast pass to do it again this past weekend because it is now one of our new favorites. It is a boat ride in fast moving water and even though it is not a traditional "water ride", your chances of getting wet are still high, especially if you at the end of the first two rows (I learned through experience that you are pretty much guaranteed to get wet in this location). It's not a lot of water but enough to get your shirt wet (not just damp). Also, even if you manage to avoid getting splashed on the ride, you have a chance of sitting in water because most of the boats are wet when you get into them. Not a big deal for me but I know some people mind getting wet. Overall, I think this is a fun ride and if the line is shorter than 60 minutes, I think you should give it a try! read more

I can't believe I waited in a 30 minute line for a Frozen ride buuuuut I did... and I do not regret it... get ya a beer if the line is long and drink on it until you get to your boat... It was a very well made ride as far as visual and sound. I actually liked it and it was a nice break from the summers heat. We would do it again because it was a cute lil relaxing time in some AC... Your kinds will LOVE it is they are Frozen fans for sure! read more

Oh this is a must!!! It's very updated compared to Magic Kingdom and all the old outdated rides. This one is truly amazing!!! Hoping Magic Kingdom plans on updating to the animatronics seen during this ride. read more

Sooo much fun. We had fast passes, but the wait time was like 120 mins! No thanks! The animatronics were cool. The backwards drop seemed less intense than the MaelStrom ride, so that was a bit disappointing. But overall lots of fun! I do miss MaelStrom a lot. :( read more

Not worth the wait, animatronics are good, but everything else looks cheap and half asssed. You look one way and see these amazing robots and look the other way and see walls from the 80s just painted black! Don't get me started on the queue line! It was only an hour, and I have waited longer in other attractions, but this was MISERABLE!!!!!!! read more

We FINALLY got to ride this ride! We came to Disney World last year but the line was always so long and we could never score any fast passes for it. Thankfully, we came back this year and we had booked a fast pass a couple months in advance. The animatronics were wonderful, and the ride was so much fun! But make sure to get here early if you don't have a fast pass because the line is almost always at least 2 hours long! I would definitely recommend it being one of the first things you do here if you wanna ride it. read more

Waited 80 minutes, which I guess if you're thinking in terms of Disney World, that's not THE WORST. Anyway, waited forever and it's a hilariously short ride. However, it was a great time. The graphics are pretty amazing, there's a little bit of thrill, and let's be honest, this movie is so great. It's a water ride, but we didn't get wet. I just wish it were longer. read more

It was ok. We waited 30 minutes for the ride. Anything longer than that I wouldn't have waited. The animatronics were great if they were working (1 Olaf wasn't working). There was a lot of nothingness between scenes so the ride seemed extremely short. Our main problem is that if you haven't seen frozen you would have no idea what was going on. The ride didn't transition or flow very well from scene to scene. My last issue was that I feel like the ride ruined the Country of Norway at World Showcase, I definitely think the ride should have been at Magic Kingdom instead of EPCOT read more

If you really want to see this attraction, GET A FAST PASS!!! The sign reads 90 minutes than double it. They have one loading area and as you stand there in pain, you will watch all the fast pass holders get on the attraction. My day at the park consist of two attractions and IM DONE!!!! See ya, I'm outta here!! read more

We got lucky today. Our wait time was 60 minutes, compared to 90 to 120 minute wait times I have seen in the past, I didnt complain. Over all I really enjoy the ride, even though it seems like Frozen stuff pops up almost daily at Walt Disney World. It's fun, whimsical and uses music that is identifiable from the film. Children will enjoy the ride. read more

Maelstrom has always been one of my favorite Disney rides and Norway one of my favorite places to visit in Epcot. I was able to learn about my Norwegian ancestors and the cultures lore. When I found out they closed the Viking museum I took it pretty hard. When I found out they were replacing the ride with a Frozen ride i felt like I was punched in the gut. I mean Frozen doesn't even take place in Norway. It's INSPIRED by it. I thought this would be much better suited in Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom. I've held a grudge against Frozen ever since. Well today I went on the ride and all I can say is WOW. It was incredible. The animatronics are the best I've seen at any attraction and the Let It Go scene was breathtaking. It is definitely worth the long wait time as the ride itself clocks in at almost 5 minutes. It's beautiful and kinda turned me into a Frozen fan. Shhhh read more

It's a very well done and beautiful ride, but it's incredibly short. We had FastPasses+ for it and I would have been beyond annoyed if we had not. It's absolutely not worth the wait times that have been showing up for it (120 minutes in some cases). read more

Prior to visiting Epcot i had heard of the back and forth by the Norwegian government and Disney on how to incorporate the film Frozen into the Norway exhibition. At first Disney was going to have characters in the Maelstrom ride which focuses on Norway history. However conclusions were made correctly and a separate mini-exhibit was installed on the grounds called Frozen which instead of saying this fictitious story is a Norwegian one, they explain the Norwegian story and how Frozen was inspired by certain motifs. Its small but seeing it was still moving and seriously brings a tear to my eye to see agreements could be made to bring forth thoughtfulness, sensitivity and appropriateness. In this photo they explain the Sami are indigenous to the area and although they have an association with reindeers it is not all they do. Kristoff is stylistically based on this tradition. In a nutshell, its just really cool to see people working together. The only thing i didn't see i guess they could add is the book by Hans Christian Anderson as that supposedly was the first inspiration for the film. read more

The wait is totally worth it. I highly recommend it, one of the best rides at Epcot. My four year daughter love everything about it.

A magical snowy boat ride in Arendelle! The standby wait was long but you can appreciate the decor, take a picture with the scruffy Nordic men outside, and peek inside the Oaken's Tokens shop! The animatronics are so spectacular that you feel like you're a part of the movie again. read more

Amazing new ride! Waited 2 1/2 hrs but it's worth the wait since we had never seen it before. Ended up chatting with others waiting in line so the wait felt a tad faster, but only a tad lol read more

Finally, actually got on this ride with the kids. They really liked it. I thought it was good, but the wait is unreasonable at this time. I actually preferred the Frozen attraction at Hollywood Studios more. It is a show instead of a ride, but that was really enjoyable. read more

It was so magical! It's a cross between the old school animatronics and modern digital decor, and there's a tiny little bit of thrill (not a ton but enough to surprise you). As always, the waiting area is amazing (especially the store/sauna). Worth the wait. read more

This ride was great. Disney knows exactly how to jazz things up a bit with the decor. Although, it is still the same ride as what was previously there, the Frozen theme totally takes over. Love this ride!! read more

Luckily, I had a fast pass, because if I would have waited more than 15 minutes for that ride, I would not have been happy. Sure the effects of the faces are cool, but the ride is lacking. Some areas are just black walls. Looks unfinished. Short. Does not live up to the hype, but people love jumping on the bandwagon. Dip was the best part. read more

A quick, cheap refurb of the old Norway ride. Same length. Track layout; etc. Competently engineered with some OK animatronics (projection over the faces; some fluidity to movement). Worth a 10 minute wait. Not even close in scope to the old Epcot attractions. My wife and I are not ineterested in exisisting IP and haven't seen the movie it is based on - but; like the new Little Mermaid ride... it is discombobulated and semi incoherent in narrative. I guess worth it for little kids... but it makes you scream for real Disney engineering. Hence the 3 stars. read more

This ride was a bit of a disappointment to me. I thought Disney would of stepped it up but it's just like all the other slow rides at Disney. I love the queue and that they used the same track as the old Norway ride; however, the rest of the ride is kinda blah. It needs more detail and animation. read more

The reason I am giving Frozen Ever After 4 stars is because it was a ride that was over really fast and it just felt like it was put up to fast and it does not have enough details in it. It is fun, but it needs more details I would also recommend it to just little kids. read more

This ride is super cute, but it's a very short ride. Avoid if the line is longer than 25 minutes. Instead spend that time in line for Soarin'. read more

I was so exited for this ride. I was expecting AMAZING. I usually never review rides as bad, but this was honestly really bad. I got fast pass, and IMO they should have paid me to go on this ride. I liked the old maelstrom ride, but i wouldn't like it back in this case. Frozen is a better and more popular fit for the area. The que was pretty nice, but I feel that Disney could have done more with it, but it was fine. The ride opened up with Olaf singing, and let me tell you my brother, dad, and I where DYING. The anamatronic was pretty stiff and weird looking, but the things he was saying where so funny, in a stupid way. The troll scene was nice, and it ca,e time for the lift to the castle. The ice castle was obviously smaller than my foot, but the music on the way up was nice. Olaf again welcome you, but this time it was in an almost snobby way. The scene of kristoph and Anna was really bad. Their faces looked out of place from the projections. The next scene with Elsa had to be the best part, it was very nice and magical. I noticed though that the entire time, the boat was bumping on the sides, and people's weight were almost tilting the boat. The next sene was tha big snow monster and I was expecting him to blow a big cold cloud of smoke before we went down, but that didn't happen. After the drop, I noticed that the drop used to be bigger. I don't know if it was just me, but the drop was going at most 7 mph. It was very slow, and the ride ended. Although I only waited 15, when the original line was 75, I fell like I should have been paid to ride this. It was pretty terrable. This work shows Disney's cheapness and doesn't show any progress in their was to trying to compete with (IMO) the better park Universal Studios. read more
