First Snowfall of the Season Arrives at Disneyland Paris

There’s snow place like Disneyland Paris where the resort has turned into a winter wonderland this week! As the first flakes of the season blanketed the park, it was the perfect time to grab a chocolat chaud and take in the snowy surprise.

Over at Disneyland Hotel, which received a stunning transformation earlier this year, Elsa could be seen unleashing her Ice Magic over Disneyland Park. This one-of-a-kind moment took place in the Royal Suite, which is inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studio’s movie “Frozen.”

Typically, Paris only receives snow a few days per year and this magical moment alone is expected to generate up to four inches in the Îl-de-France region, which is where Disneyland Paris calls home.

This rare sight featured a snow-topped Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty Castle) and holiday décor laced in white.

What better way to enjoy the holiday season than with real snow — Disneyland Paris Global Disney Ambassadors, Jose and Dylan, definitely didn’t let this moment go!

The snow also brought a special milestone for the first time in, well, EVER. As construction continues on World of Frozen, opening in 2026, Disney Imagineers reveled in the moment and celebrated the land’s first snowfall with their very own Olaf-inspired snowman!

It’s not often it snows at Disneyland Paris and we have to admit, we’re having a bit of FOMO! Stay tuned to the Diz Planet for more updates from the resort throughout the year.
