Disney Reveals Considerable Expansion Plan For Epcot

In 2013, Disney’s Frozen captured the hearts and minds of fans worldwide! New plans were just filed by Disney requesting a permit with the South Florida Water Management District and the Reedy Creek Improvement District. With this action, word is out about a much bigger Frozen expansion in Epcot’s Norway than was previously disclosed.

First announced in September of 2014, Disney-goers were notified of Disney’s plans to re-task the space taken by Maelstrom developing a Frozen-themed ride. Other than this, few details were known. Now we know that in addition to the space in Maelstrom, a large themed building will be constructed between the Norway and Mexico pavilions to house additional “Frozen” entertainment.

Below are some details from the filing:

  • New Frozen-themed Ride
  • New Frozen character meet-and-greet space
  • Construction of a 13,000 +/- sf building that will house a Disney guest attraction and a women’s restroom;
  • Construction of a 13,000 +/- sf building that will house a Disney guest attraction and a women’s restroom;
  • Construction of a 2,000 sf modular type building to replace a similar building demolished for the project;
  • construction of two small parking lots that have a total of 18 parking spaces;
  • Relocation of piping and mechanical equipment associated with a beverage dispensing kiosk; modification and addition of sidewalks and planters;
  • New underground utilities;
  • Modification to the existing restroom in the Norway attraction building.”
