This mostly occupies a future parking lot expansion and maybe some backstage. It's more on the edge of the second gate plot than actually occupying it.

The initial 100 units which opened today, along with phase 2 (another 700 units that are under construction) already occupy part of the second gate plot. The government also announced plans to expand the facility and provide 3500 units eventually.
This video shows the magnitude of the project:

The prop castle, having a similar size to Sleeping Beauty Castle, will look great from afar by the lake with the help of forced perspective. I think it's such a missed opportunity that guests won't be able to enter the castle when they have enough space this time. They should have built it like Tokyo's BatB where the castle bridge and courtyard form part of the queue, which will greatly enhance the entire experience.
This is from ep5 of the Imagineering Story. I'm not sure if this and Charita Carter are related to HKDL's Frozen project.
This pic of TDS Cape Cod (minus the volcano) is a good indication of how Arendelle village will look like:

I really like the socially distanced Country Bear greetings at WDW and old atmosphere shows at TDS. Some rooftop performances can make the area feel lively without getting too cramped on the walkway, because I don't think the size of the lake can accommodate water shows...

That actually looks like the castle replica miniature prop inside the Frozen Ever After attraction after the drop.The prop castle, having a similar size to Sleeping Beauty Castle, will look great from afar by the lake with the help of forced perspective.

Any bets on when they are going to re-theme The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in light of the new security law ?

The same ride has existed at SDL for years. I don't think it's going away any time soon.

Totally agree! Especially when guests already cannot enter the Fantasyland Castle (both SBC and Castle of Magical Dreams), they really should try to compensate by letting guests enter the Castle in Arendelle. Sad it's again another props castle.

maybe its because getting too near to the arendelle castle will break the forced perspective?
but I really want to enter the castle just like the 'for the first time in forever' scene : (
Why they didn't let the ride splash into the lake when there is a prop castle besides it is just beyond me. Now they have two prop castles, one outside the ride and one inside the ride, and neither of them are great.

Videos of the new Adventurers Suite at Disney Explorers Lodge!
I heard that they're refurbishing the rooms at Hollywood Hotel during the coronavirus downtime. If this holds true I'm sure they'd be remodelling some of the rooms into Marvel suites like the ones Paris will receive.

Record-breaking 105 new local cases of COVID-19 today. Starting to doubt if the Park can reopen by its 15th anniversary.
By the way, I'm curious about how the landscape of Arendelle will change the scenery of the park. How tall will the two mountains be? How far away will the guests be able to see them? E.g. within or even beyond Fantasyland?

7.5 million. The US numbers could have been much lower given the lower population density. In HK it's almost impossible to maintain physical distance unless a lockdown is implemented.

the size of Hong Kong is just 1106 square kilometer, while the size of WI is 169,639 square kilometer
local infection chains could easily be formed in such a crowded place.

so the park has been re-closed for a month again. and there's a new aerial footage from a youtube channel 大S看世界
but it seems like there is no significant progress compared to the last footage
the marvel e-ticket attraction area has grown so much grass though

Latest reply from the government regarding expansion plan and phase 2.
- ‘Marvel area’ is still here but didn’t mention the e-ticket attraction.
- Will make announcement for the option arrangement regading the site that is “originally planned” for phase 2 (extend the option or the plan has changed?
