... In a far-ranging conversation, [Disney Studio chairman Alan] Horn touched upon a number of Disney’s most prized franchises. At the top of that list was Disney’s breakout Frozen, now the highest-grossing animated film of all time. Horn told his audience that Disney’s sole focus at the moment was getting the Frozen musical ready for Broadway and that a sequel hadn’t even been discussed. ...

Obviously the answer is, yes.
I seem to recall a business model where sequels are generated if the product collects billions of dollars in ticket sales and merchandise. These sequels are generally greenlit immediately. (Toy Story, Cars, Ice Age, Madagascar, Shrek, Lego Movie, etc...)
Frozen is on the "top of the list" for revenue-generators. It is clearly a smash hit. We are living in the era of sequels... so why the hesitant approach on this film? I sure hope it doens't have anything to do with the fact that both protagonists happened to have two X chromosomes.
