![Epcots World Showcase Norway Pavilion Tour
The Norway Pavilion is a Norwegian-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase, within Epcot at Walt Disney World.The 58,000-square-foot (5,400 m2) Norway Pavilion is designed to look like a Norwegian village.[citation needed] The village includes a detailed reproduction Stave church, and the exterior of its main table-service restaurant, Restaurant Akershus, resembles its namesake in Oslo. The exhibit showcases 4 styles of Norwegian architecture: Setesdal-style, Bergen-style, Oslo-style and Ålesund-style.
Much of the pavilion is taken up by interconnected shops. These shops are decorated with large wooden trolls and sell assorted Norwegian goods, including clothing, candy, and statuettes of Norse gods and trolls. The courtyard of the pavilion contains the entrance to Frozen Ever After. Kringla Bakeri og Kafé is a bakery, featuring assorted Norwegian pastries, such as cream horns and open-faced salmon sandwiches. The courtyard contains the entrance to Restaurant Akershus, featuring a hot and cold buffet and Princess Storybook Dining.
In September 2014, Disney officials announced that the Maelstrom attraction would be closed and renovated into a new attraction based upon the companys hit animated film, Frozen. Frozen Ever After, which opened in 2016, features the same ride vehicles and basic course of the original attraction, but with scenes inspired by the film and the Frozen Fever animated short. Due to the popularity and immediate fan base Frozen drew, plans to add the Frozen Ever After attraction to the Norway pavilion were set with a very short construction time, this is a major reason why the attraction will so closely resemble the Maelstrom attraction previously in its place. The addition of Frozen Ever After is intended to bring more attention to Epcot, as well as the Scandinavian culture represented throughout the Norway pavilion.
