I take it you're not familiar with our Ladder friend, as you seem to have completely missed the joke.

While I dont have a picture, sadly, Downtown Disney has a huge new wall mural on the back side of the Christmas shop that says Arendelle, with the Frozen characters and what looks like the stave church in the background....I would not be surprised to see this or one just like it show up at Epcot soon either on the construction wall or elsewhere...if that mural is any indication at all.....RIP Norway.

You mean that "Greetings from Arendelle" thing at DTD ? Yeah I've seen it, I actually wanted to buy it last time I saw it; it'd fit on one wall in my house perfectly....

Meet and Greet complex.

considering the size.. I suppose they expect the same crazy levels as when the meet and greet was right on norway.. and people ran to get first on ropedrop.

And then the Elsa animatronic will break down and then rumors will swirl that it'll be difficult to fix her because of structure/downtime etc....so they'll resort to using strobe lighting. Disco Elsa anyone?

So Disney will have a separate ticket for this pavilion with separate parking. So you have to pay an up-charge to park at the new lot and another up-charge to meet the ice twins...then still have your Epcot ticket to ride the ride. Am I right?

and order the exclusive dinner package. That only costs 3X times the normal dinner price.

Aside from the backstage access, new woman's restrooms and pathway to the old male restrooms.

I hope to be there when the bathrooms are done..
so I can plant my flag a la Han Solo.. "Han Shat first"

In the original twitter post there were four shots, these are just two of them. Have there been any recent shots ?

EDIT: why does Tokyo get to make Arendelle as part of their expansion ? Magic Kingdom has LOADS of extra space up behind Small World/Tangled bathrooms!

I dont think its easier to move the entire water systems that are behind Its a Small World and Tangled potties.

I'm thinking the reason we haven't seen concept art yet is that they want to put off the disappointment for as long as possible.

I think the reason they haven't put out concept art is because of the initial backlash when it was first announced. I wouldn't be surprised to see them refrain from any details at the Expo either.

They knew full well what what they were getting into by doing it. Mess with the bull, you get the horns.

I think everyone complaining about Frozen in Epcot should...

... get over it already.

What did you THINK I was gonna say?

You can get over that other people won't get over it too you know.

Wow. Comparing my light-hearted frivolity to a tragic incident that resulted in loss of life?

I dislike book report rides. Always have.

That sort of lazy imagineering has no place in EPCOT. A book report retelling of Frozen has no more place in Norway than Nemo's lame retelling has any place in The Living Seas. Nemo was a missed opportunity for that pavilion, just as it sounds like Frozen will do nothing to enhance Norway or its incredible culture.

I can't get the experience of Haunted Mansion, Pirates, SpaceShip Earth, The Land, Test Track, Kilimanjaro Safari, Everest, Star Tours, or rides like that from watching a movie on DVD. What I can get from a DVD? A full length retelling of Finding Nemo and Frozen...

They should just name the ride FROZEN: FOR DUMMIES.

We ain't letting it go until Disney does.

Which, considering that a sequel's coming in 2017, should be in... 2021, maybe?

Shhhh! You've just given them a new way to upcharge and find new ways to gouge the guests.

The entire upper part of the art looks like the Frozen area with Scandinavia being on the other side of the bridge complete with its own Stave Church.

I both love and hate seeing this concept art. It says so much.
