I think it is safe to say Disney's Frozen is more than just a fad. For some families, it is part of their everyday existence with little girls singing every word of EVERY song all day long, while dreaming of being Anna or Elsa. Well, now your little princess can experience what life is like in Arendelle at Disney's new Frozen experiences at both Disney World and Disneyland.

Starting June 17th at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Disney World, "Frozen" Summer Fun Live kicks off with your favorite Frozen sisters welcoming guests twice a day during a procession filled with ice skating, ice cutting and of course, Olaf and Kristoff.

This summer's Frozen spectacular, For the First Time in Forever: A “Frozen” Sing-Along Celebration, will be located at the Hyperion Theater. Learn the story of Arendelle from the town's "royal historians" through humor and song and special guest appearances from your favorite Frozen characters. And don't worry, everyone's favorite Frozen friend will have his moment "In Summer" too! Olaf will cool things down with a burst from his personal snow cloud during Olaf’s Summer Cool Down!

Hot summer days in Arendelle lead to warm summer nights. You can keep the fun going at the “Coolest Summer Ever” Dance Party. Then say goodbye to Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf at the Frozen Fireworks that light the night sky to all of your favorite Frozen tunes.

Heading to Disneyland soon? Don't worry. These famous sisters are being celebrated on both coasts! "Frozen Fun" has arrived at Disney California Adventure Park. Get started by meeting Anna and Elsa at their Royal Welcome and snap a pic with your favorite girls. You can also learn how to draw Olaf and your other favorite Frozen characters.

And, just like at Disney World, you can learn all about Arendelle and sing your favorite Frozen songs at For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration or play in the snow with Olaf- do YOU want to build a snowman? Olaf's Snow Fest has real snow where you can slide in the snow and build your own Olaf. Of course, it wouldn't be Olaf's own festival if you couldn't say hi to the best snowman buddy around! Just remember, Olaf's Snow Fest ends April 30th so come by and say hi soon!
