Disney has introduced three new ways to reserve a ticket for the show in advance, and without waiting in a Fastpass line. The offerings range from a $49 reception in the Frozen-themed Stage 17, to a $299 VIP package with dinner and a backstage tour of the theater.


Frozen Pre-Show Package – $49 per person, plus tax. Annual passholder discounts do not apply.


Disney has found a way to make money with the vacant Stage 17 building, which for the past two winters housed Olaf's Snow Fest. The building is still fully decorated with the Arendelle sets, so why not use it for a pre-show party?


The pre-show festivities begin 90 minutes before show time, and there's no need to wait in the Fastpass return line—attendees are escorted to their reserved seating section just before the curtain rises. While you wait, you can enjoy:




A shave ice treat
A beverage station with a selection of beer, wine and, non-alcoholic beverages
Three photo op locations that grant you the chance to seemingly step into the wintry world of Arendelle
A gallery of original art designs that were used to create the Frozen – Live at the Hyperion stage show
A Magical Snow Moment, in which a royal announcement invites you to join in a magic spell to summon Elsa’s ice powers.


The package is available for performances starting June 29. It appears there are only two pre-show packages offered each day, for the 1:35 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. shows. Book online via the Disneyland website (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disney-california-adventure/frozen-live-at-hyperion-pre-show/), or call (714) 781-3463.
Frozen Pre-Show Plus Lunch Package – $99 per adult ($79 per child ages 3–9), plus tax and gratuity. Annual passholder discounts do not apply.

As implied by the name, this package adds a three-course lunch at the Carthay Circle Restaurant to the Frozen Pre-Show Package described above. Based on the description provided on the Disney website, your menu offerings are somewhat limited. Everyone receives the same soup and salad starter, and then chooses one of four entrees. The meal ends with Olaf’s Summer Dream Vacation dessert.


The package is available for performances starting June 29. Lunch reservations are available only between 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.. Book online via the Disneyland website (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disney-california-adventure/frozen-live-at-hyperion-pre-show-plus-lunch/), or call (714) 781-3463. Reservations require a credit card guarantee, and a no-show fee of $10 per person applies if the reservation is not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance.
Frozen Signature Dining and Behind-the-Scenes Package – $299 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Annual passholder discounts do not apply.

You can go about "Making Today a Perfect Day" for your favorite Frozen fan when you book this special package. The experience starts with the Frozen Pre-Show in Stage 17, followed by reserved seating for Frozen – Live at the Hyperion.


After the show, your party gets to go backstage to look at costumes from the production, and take photos on the stage. This is the first time in my memory that Disney has offered something like this in the theme parks, and I'm very curious to see if the offering is expanded over to Disneyland and the Mickey and the Magical Map show, or even to Fantasmic when that show returns next year.
The experience concludes with a four-course prix fixe dinner at the Carthay Circle Restaurant. At $300 per person, this is not an experience for everyone—but it's certainly a unique offering for those willing to spend the money.


The package is available for performances starting June 29. This package cannot be booked online, so call (714) 781-3463. Full payment is required at time of booking, and the entire fee is forfeited if the reservation is not cancelled at least 72 hours in advance.

I booked the pre-show package for the afternoon of my arrival in August; I figured that it would save me the time of standing in a FP line and also give me somewhere air-conditioned to hang out beforehand. I would be interested in hearing reviews of these packages though. :)
