    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    All (that's right, all) of the Norwegian CMs that I talked to disagree with the change and think that it is, for lack of a better term, dumb. I was actually surprised by their candor, but most of them are young and probably not PR-conscious.

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    There was some water leaking into the gift shop recently, adjacent to the register in the H/H clothing area. Couldn't tell exactly what the source was, but it was clearly something that shouldn't have been happening.

    Hoax bomb found in room of Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.

    Anyone who has frequented or worked at the local theme parks has probably seen, at one time or another, huge piles of unattended bags and backpacks, 20 or 30 of them, stacked up against a wall near an attraction entrance by a Brazilian or similar type of tour group. I recall taking a picture of...

    Hoax bomb found in room of Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.

    "Investigators said it was quickly determined that the device was a hoax and was only made to look like an explosive." We haven't seen a picture of the thing for ourselves, but the report at least suggests that it was something that was "made to look like an explosive," hence their use of the...

    The rectangular hole in the wall in this photo housed the rotating "poster" frame as seen in this photo You can match the photos by looking at the power outlet below the poster frame.

    Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid closing for month long refurbishment Feb 2-Mar 6

    This (making YOU part of the story/action) is something that Universal has been particularly good at. Even when almost every ride is based on a movie, they're not just recaps of the movies, and they highly involve the guest in the storytelling experience. And even the original classics like...

    The elevator was hiding directly behind these doors. Anyone could access it, if they felt so inclined. And, yes, some guests did feel so inclined.

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    People haven't discussed the pavilion's second floor (above the ride entrance/exit) much, so here are some photos with descriptions. This dining/conference area with the banquet tables is above the restaurant kitchen area. There is a presentation screen behind the curtain and a shelf for...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    A 1-day ticket to Epcot is $94.00 (not including tax), so the theme park experience is about $7.83 per hour, if you're there from rope drop to fireworks. Given the percentage of time that the average guest spends waiting in line, I suppose your $24.99 hourly rate for virtual attendance is...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    Why don't they just put a live streaming webcam inside the building during demo, and then you can use the Disney app to schedule reservations for when you can log on and watch one hour of demo.

    Not my original photo, but this one warms my heart :happy: EDIT: Here's the photo credit - Farewell Maelstrom – by Eddison Esteban September 23, 2014 "I am a bit melancholy that Maelstrom is going away to be replaced by a Frozen Attraction. The Norway Pavilion has always been a favorite...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    I don't understand why these guests were walked through the entire attraction from the waterfall (for an evac). Aren't there various stairwells available that go straight down to ground level for emergency exit? I remember seeing a door immediately adjacent to the waterfall.
