The Frozen voice actor became a skipper on the Jungle Cruise ride for a day, and he did so good.
Josh donned the skipper uniform and got his own Disneyland name tag, but the funny part about that is, while it normally lists the city you’re from, Josh‘s name tag listed he’s from Arendelle, a cute and funny nod to Frozen!

If you didn’t know, a new Frozen-themed land is coming to a Disney park!
Hong Kong Disneyland is currently under construction on bringing the Arendelle village to life with World of Frozen, and they just shared an update on their progress.
In addition to the progress update on the outside, Disney Parks also unveiled a first look at a new Elsa audio-animatronic.
“We couldn’t keep it in ❄️ Here’s a sneak peek of Elsa, coming to the Frozen Ever After attraction at World of Frozen in,” they shared on Twitter.
Following this reveal, Olaf voice actor Josh Gad joked about Elsa’s Idina Menzel dedicating time to the character at the Hong Kong park.
Olaf is one of the most beloved Disney characters in the last ten years, but he almost wasn’t even in Frozen!
On Sunday night (December 4) at the Arts and Entertainment Journalism Awards, Frozen co-director Jennifer Lee revealed that her first note for the 2013 movie musical was to cut the funny snowman who likes warm hugs.
The Frozen character, voiced by Josh Gad, is starring in his own series of shorts called Olaf Presents, where he’s tells Disney stories in his own way.

Josh Gad and Luke Evans are both set to reprise their roles as LeFou (Louie) and Gaston.
The upcoming eight episode, limited series is also developed, executive-produced and written by Josh, along with Once Upon a Time creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. They will all also serve as co-showrunners.
We have our first look at the new Disney+ short Once Upon a Snowman!
The upcoming short, which premieres on Disney+ THIS Friday (October 23), follows Olaf’s first steps as he comes to life and searches for his identity in the snowy mountains outside Arendelle.
Josh Gad will of course return to voice everyone’s favorite snowman to help tell the untold origins of the Frozen character. Also returning for the short, as seen in the trailer, is the hilarious Oaken from Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post!
Once Upon a Snowman is just latest that we get to see of Olaf, following the quarantine series, At Home With Olaf, and Olaf’s Frozen Adventure.
