Our tour of Norway at World Showcase begins!

Today on Walt Disney Maniacs, we started our entries for the Norway pavilion at EPCOT World Showcase....here is what we covered today!


"The Norway Pavilion is a cultural area within Epcot theme park where Guests of all ages can experience the character and atmosphere of Norway.

Welcome to the Age of the Vikings! Enjoy the simple picturesque landscape of this mini Scandinavian village square with its stone and wood elements and authentic Norwegian architectural style. Discover ancient Norse art. Dine on authentic Norwegian dishes and visit shops filled with wonderful Norwegian wares. But watch out for the trolls!

Attractions: Ride the Maelstrom adventure cruise, where the spirit of adventure reigns!
Dining: Dine inside a castle at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, including Princess Storybook Dining, and delight in fresh baked goods and coffee at the Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe.
Entertainment: Explore the exhibit "Vikings: Conquerors of the Seas," a collection of authentic Norse weapons and artifacts, at the gallery inside the Stave Church.
Shopping: Discover Norwegian books, fragrances, candy, hand-knit woolens, trolls, glass, porcelain, pewter, toys and more!"

The buildings throughout the Norway pavilion mimic the architectural design styles traditionally found in Oslo, Alesund, Bergen, and the Setesdal Valley from rough and rustic to a neat, tidy style that would not seem out of place along the New England coastline. Even better, this is one of the only two World Showcase pavilions that has a boat ride...the other located in Mexico that we will be covering toward the end of this week.
