Construction is finally underway on Arendelle: World of Frozen coming soon to Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris. OutsidEars has shared photos of construction at the park.
Silos and cranes are at the construction site. A lake will eventually be created at the center of the land, and fencing already outlines where the water will go.
Drilling rigs have arrived at the construction site for excavation of the “Frozen” attraction’s foundation.
Above is the “Frozen” land concept art released back in 2019. A similar land is also being constructed in Hong Kong Disneyland.

You never know what you might find at EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
Over the last few days, EPCOT has been transforming from the Festival of the Arts to the upcoming Flower & Garden Festival, and a lot is changing. Check it out here!
Let’s jump right into some food updates!
We noticed less Karamell-Kuche popcorn in the Germany pavilion, and it turned out that the popcorn machine was receiving some maintenance work. As a result, the machine was only popping one batch at a time when it should have been popping two batches, according to a Cast Member.
Karamel Kuche Popcorn not working
In honor of National Margarita Day, La Cave del Tequila released a special, limited time (one day only!) margarita, called the Rosemary Margarita for $12. It was made with Ambhar Tequila Blanco, rosemary agave, orange liqueur, ginger cordial, and fresh lime juice.
Rosemary Margarita!
Let’s get to construction!
In the Japan pavilion, there was lots of new pavement construction. Ropes prevented guests from stepping on the new pavement.

In a Twitter thread about Tomorrowland 2055 (a Tomorrowland that never came to be), user @MarissaTheMoth shared information implying the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom may be updated soon.
My friend sent me a VA casting call blurb for something called “ORAC”, so at the very least they must be updating the voice acting on the PeopleMover. ORAC-1 was the name of the announcer from 85-94, so it’s possible they have more plans in motion.

(@MarissaTheMoth) February 23, 2022
In the first tweet, Marissa shared that a friend sent her a voice-over casting call for “ORAC.” ORAC-1 was once the name of the PeopleMover narrator.
Proof. I’m not a rumor monger lmao pic.twitter.com/YiId6ooRMZ
— Marissa
Marissa then shared a screenshot of the casting call, which she notes was not an open casting call. It was on a casting website meant for agents and professionals.
The casting call says the voice-over is for a “classic attraction at major theme park.” The role description is “ORAC has great enthusiasm and even passion for the job. ORAC genuinely enjoys taking visitors around his favorite destination. OROAC’S vocal range is not low and not too high, right in the middle is where the voice needs to land.”
A story description says an “enthusiastic AI takes us on a tour of a futuristic land.”
An update to the PeopleMover narration makes sense with TRON Lightcycle / Run opening sooner rather than later.

Creations Shop has been full of EPCOT-inspired apparel recently and a new windbreaker jacket has joined the collection.
The jacket is black and zips up.
The four EPCOT neighborhoods (World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase) are listed on a breast pocket. The pocket also zips up and the zipper pulls have the EPCOT logo on them in blue.
The EPCOT name and logo run down the sleeves in a stripe.
The name is blue while the logo is colorful.
Will you be wearing this jacket on the next windy day in EPCOT? Let us know in the comments.
