In 2014, Anna & Elsa's Royal Welcome Parade was a daily procession that gave guests a chance to enjoy the pageantry and cheer on the grand arrival of the royal sisters of Arendelle. Stepping off at the front of the park, Anna and Elsa proceed through the parade route in a royal horse-drawn sleigh, while their friend, Kristoff, travels on a Wandering Oaken's Trading Post float from Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade at Magic Kingdom. They were flanked by plenty of royal entertainers, including a flag corps twirling the flag of Arendelle, a troupe of ice men performing a routine with ice picks, sliding skiers, skating snowflakes, and more. Upon arriving at the stage in the center of the park, the sisters receive their official welcome to Hollywood Boulevard before returning to their carriage and completing the rest of the parade route, ending just before the Star Tours: The Adventures Continue attraction.
A year later, the parade returned but changed a lot, since it was renamed to Frozen Royal Welcome Parade. The first stop is along Hollywood Boulevard and the second one stops from the Hyperion Theater back toward the stage, this gives guests more opportunities to see Anna, Elsa and the dancers. Anna and Elsa get off their floats and walk past the guests in these areas. The little house float from Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade was empty until Olaf appeared on stage in the video clip that was featured. Now he rides his float. Olaf doesn't leave his float during the walk around portion, and he is preceded by some roller skating dancers in themed costuming. Kristoff rides the same float but does not exit the float during the processional. For the finale, Elsa has her own float. She formerly rode with Anna in the sleigh, but she is now at the end of the parade on her own float that looks like her ice palace, which was recycled from one of the Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade floats. She is preceded by snowflake roller skating dancers.
