Self-Walking ‘Living’ Animatronic Olaf Arriving Soon in Hong Kong World of Frozen

We already knew that the living character of Olaf the snowman from Frozen was coming to both Paris and Hong Kong, but a new teaser from Hong Kong Disneyland shows Olaf in the park getting ready to meet guests soon.

Olaf in Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland has announced via a Royal Decree on Instagram that the walking, talking Olaf will soon arrive in World of Frozen. The Olaf living character is the latest entry in the now decades-long history of walk-around robotics characters at Disney Parks, beginning with Lucky the Dinosaur in the 2000s and continuing through to the Star Wars BDX droids of recent years.

In the video, Olaf can be seen walking up a hill into Arendelle before interacting with Cast Members who ate very excited to meet him and welcome him to the land.

Olaf then mentions his love for Summer Snow Day and meeting new friends that are always welcome in Arendelle.

See the Royal Decree below:

Olaf will also debut at World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World starting in early 2026. No exact date has been given at this time but World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World opens on March 29, 2026.

Will you be meeting Olaf soon in either Paris or Hong Kong? Let us know on social media.
