Pre-Opening ‘Frozen’ Lines at EPCOT Stretch Toward China, Snarling Norway Pavilion
The tight layout of Norway forces overflow into World Showcase, prompting advice to tackle the attractions early.
Overview
- An X post by guest RockNstardust on February 18 showed the Frozen Ever After queue reaching toward the China Pavilion before the ride opened.
- The Anna and Elsa meet-and-greet formed a separate line at the same time, packing Norway’s narrow walkways on both sides.
- Disney-focused outlets reported cast members often route overflow along the promenade to maintain circulation through the area.
- Coverage indicated that an early surge like this typically leads to sustained high waits and quickly filled Lightning Lane return windows.
- The congestion affected guests moving through World Showcase and nearby dining access, with no formal response from Disney reported.
