Norway Pavilion

Norway offers a mixture of architecture as well as activities.  It offers a Stave Church gallery (only one of 30 Stave churches still in existence), the Maelstrom ride, a bakery with Norwegian pastry, a Kidcot Funstop, and the popular Akershus Princess Storybook character meal.  Take a moment to see the troll statue in the shop (it is rumored that if  you kiss the nose it will bring good luck) while you admire the hand-made wool sweaters.

Restaurants:  There are two restaurants in the Norway Pavilion.  The Akershus castle hosts Princess Storybook Dining - a character meal featuring the Disney Princesses.  Breakfasts are American style, but lunch and dinner offer Norwegian food and a Fra Koldtbordt (buffet of Norwegian salads, fish, and cheeses).  The Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe offers pastries and sandwiches in a counter service format.

Character Greetings:  All the character greetings in Norway happen inside the Akershus castle as part of the character dining program.  You can make reservations for an American style breakfast, or a Norwegian style lunch or dinner up to 90 days in advance.  As part of the character meal, you get a professional 8x10 photograph taken with one of several Disney Princesses (who rotate daily), and get the chance to meet up to four additional Princesses or other female characters who rotate by each table during your meal to sign autographs, talk with the children, and pose for pictures.  Many children dress up for this event as their favorite Disney Princess.

Kidcot Funstop Station:  You can find the Kidcot stop inside the shop as you exit the Maelstrom ride.
