Although we’ve been able to wave at Anna and Elsa during the Character Cavalcades going on in EPCOT, we haven’t been able to sing along to our favorite Frozen tunes at For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a LONG time!
This show did not reopen with the park back in July, but we recently shared that the Frozen show would be reopening today, October 5th, so you know we had to make our way to Hollywood Studios and see what’s changed.
Although the show appears as “Temporarily Unavailable” still on the Disney website…
…we were in fact able to make our way back to the Frozen show for the first time in forever!!
Let’s take a look at how things have changed. First, the theatre is only seating at 35% capacity. Cast Members are keeping track of how many guests are waiting in line and cutting off the line to ensure that the capacity is limited to that amount. When we went, they cut the normal line that starts at the sign because the capacity limit had already been reached for that show. A new line started around the fence for the next show.
As we entered the waiting area, a Cast Member asked us how many were in our party so they could keep track of how many guests are in the space at any one time.
The Cast Member then sent us to a dot to stand on.
These dots help ensure that guests waiting in the space are still maintaining their social distance from one another.
While we were waiting to get into the theatre, we saw that the pre-show videos were still playing on the monitors overhead.
Before we entered the theatre, the Cast Members asked everyone to keep their masks on. They also instructed us to move all the way down to the last chair that is open for seating, and to remain seated until the end of the performance, at which point a Cast Member will come to the row and signal that it is time for our row to stand up and exit the theatre.

This is all meant to help guests maintain social distancing.

Once the show started, it was time for some good ‘ole Frozen fun! Guests, with their masks still on, were able to sing along to their favorite tunes, and we got to enjoy some hilarious moments thanks to the Arendelle historians.

We also got to say hello to Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff.
Throughout the show there were also some fun jokes about masks, like let it go, but not your mask. There were also some jokes about Elsa having “social distanced” herself in the castle. We have to say, a giant castle is probably not the worst place to have to stay for quarantine.
And, the best part? It still snows during the show!
Overall, there were a variety of changes made in terms of the mask requirement, social distancing markers in the waiting area, socially distanced seats, and reduced capacity, but the show itself and the experience as a whole felt very much the same.

Have you ever seen the Frozen show in Hollywood Studios? Let us know about your experience with this show in the comments!
We took our now 3 year old daughter to Disney at the beginning of March (about a week and a half before everything shut down). This show was one of her absolute favorite parts of our trip, and watching the amazement in her eyes and listening to her sing along at the top of her lungs were highlights for her Dad and me. I’m so glad to see they’ve figured out a way to reopen it so more little ones can feel that excitement!
Love that show but won’t be the same without Equity Ben!
