The Chaparral Theatre is a stage in Frontierland where shows are performed regularly. Among the best-known shows are certainly ‘Mickey's Winter Wonderland’ and ‘Tarzan – the Encounter’.
During Frozen Summer Fun and the Christmas season, the Frozen Sing-along with Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff is performed on this stage, sure to delight fans of the film Frozen.
In addition, the Chaparral Theatre is now showing a new side show called The Forest of Enchantment: a Disney musical adventure.
Which shows you can see, depending on the dates of your stay.
Most shows at the Chaparral Theatre are performed in a colourful mix of English and French. But even if you don't speak either of these languages, you'll have no trouble understanding the stories.
Children will also have fun here, as they are directly involved in almost all performances.
The theatre is located at the back of Frontierland, also known as ‘Cottonwood Creek Ranch’. The theatre fits perfectly with the ranch's rustic style. From the outside, the building looks a bit like a huge barn, and inside, guests are not greeted by a pompous theatre hall with red carpet and plush armchairs, but rather a rustic atmosphere. You can take a seat on one of the wooden benches.
Also noteworthy is the Chaparral Theatre stage, the back of which depicts a rocky hill covered with real plants. This is possible because the theatre is not a closed building, but rather a covered stage and auditorium that provides the plants with enough light to grow. All shows performed here must be integrated into this setting, which works particularly well in the case of ‘Tarzan’.
Unfortunately, the days of the Chaparral Theatre are now over. It closed permanently in 2018 and was then demolished to make way for the new Frontierland Theatre.
