World Of Frozen was built with theDisney Adultsin mind.
Bustle: When did you know thatFrozenneeded its own dedicated space in Disney Parks?

There needs to be this transformational element that says I’m somewhere else.
Lee:I keep saying I’m in shock, but I mean it in a good way.
It’s this feeling of wonder, it’s not something you could ever imagine happening.
you’re able to’t plan for that.

How much influence does the online community and fandom have on the execution of projects like this?
DAmaro:[People say,] Everything you do, somebody’s got a point of view on.
