The most popular way to meet Elsa at Disneyland Resort is through the “Anna & Elsa’s Royal Welcome” meet and greet experience. This attraction is located at Hollywoodland in Disney California Adventure and allows guests to meet Elsa (and her sister Anna) up close and personal. The meet and greet experience is interactive and allows guests to take photos with the characters and even receive a warm chat with Elsa herself. It’s a great opportunity for kids (and kids at heart) to meet their favorite characters and make lasting memories.

Of course, seeing Elsa at Disneyland Resort doesn’t stop there. Guests can also find her in various parades throughout the park, including the “Magic Happens” parade. In this particular parade, you can spot Anna and Elsa from Frozen 2, who are exploring the Enchanted Forest with Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf. They’re on board one of the longest floats in the parade.
In “Wonderous Journeys”, Disneyland’s new projection show there is a Frozen section where you can see Elsa, Anna, Sven, and Kristoff being projected across the Rivers of America.
In addition, there is “Frozen” merchandise available at the park which allows fans to take home a piece of the magic and continue their love for the character long after they’ve left the park.
Unfortunately “Frozen: Live at the Hyperion” is still closed and not showing signs of returning to Disneyland Resort.
