Just change walrus to polar bear and it’ll look great!

The Explorer's Hut (QS)
The Explorers can get hungry on their exploration but typically only want smaller things in their bags to not take up too much space.
The Explorer's Hut is a go-to for all those small, but nutritious snack needs! Beef Jerky, Trail Mix, Almonds, Protein Bars, and more can all be found here. To stay warm, Joffrey's Coffee and Hot Chocolate are also available!

Meet Mickey and Minnie
Deep in the snow
Where the icicles fall
lies an igloo of sorts
that appears round and tall
Inside the igloo
there’s a wonderful treat
there sits Mickey and Minnie
ready and eager to greet
They greet guests all day
in their wonderful gear
as the snow falls year round
and not just that time of year
They’re taking a break
From the beach and the sand
they want a taste
of this wintery wonderland
A small pathway leads to guests to a large igloo surrounded by water. Audio animatronic Puffins squawk and squeal as the waves crash against the dock leading us to the mysterious round structure within the depths of the snowy, white tundra.
Inside the igloo is the meet and greet spot for Mickey and Minnie, as they greet guests in blue outfits inspired by Himalayan/ Eskimo parkas, which are lined with fur to keep the iconic couple warm in the snow. Behind them is a large map of the area in the corner lies a pair of skis marked “Property of Goofy”.
(closest example to their outfits)
Mickey and Minnie greet guests everyday and occasionally take breaks. Guests can exit the igloo to the right of the main meet and greet spot.
In the Christmas time, the igloo becomes lined with Christmas lights as Mickey and Minnie get a little holiday update. Mickey dons a Santa hat as Minnie dons a Christmasy bow. Even the Puffins get their fair share of Christmas with a holiday bow-tie and a Snowman friend.

Arctic Animals
A host of wintery animals fill the pathways as guests can interact and take pictures with the Arctic wildlife. A large audio animatronic Polar Bear walks through the land with a cart full of ice, which the Polar Bear pulls. A cast member guides the cuddly creature as it’s able to open its mouth and blink.
Cast members roam around with Arctic Foxes (puppets) in their hands. The puppets can move their heads and open their mouths as the puppeteers bring them to life. They even have some Penguins (puppets) to show off to guests wandering the land.

Located on a retired icebreaker ship, the Polar Discoverer is the Erie Expedition Arctic Museum, a museum facility dedicated to all things arctic, from the wildlife to the people to the many many expeditions to Earth’s Final Frontier.
The tour begins in the main galley, where guests enter the ship into a gallery of ice. This section of the museum is directed towards the studies and history of ice found throughout time. While most of the displays in this chamber are faux-ice and meant to represent the different types, including ice from glaciers and sea ice, with displays on how those types of ice are formed. In the center of the chamber is a glacier made out of gunite that guests can enter to see a real-life ice core that is kept at sub-zero temperatures in a special glass case. Ice cores are harvested from within glaciers and sheet ice and encompass a wide range of years worth of ice buildup. Testing these ice cores can give scientists a fantastic insight into the history of the glacier.
Guests can then enter the next gallery which is entirely based around the wildlife of the arctic. Here, guests can check out samples from wildlife, including taxidermied specimens, casted tracks, and other artifacts. Throughout this room, you can touch real arctic fox, polar bear, and musk ox fur, as well as getting to see real walrus tusks, a real narwhal tusk, and even reindeer antlers. All of these artifacts are on loan from the United States Fish and Wildlife who collect illegally taken artifacts and redistribute them to museums and other facilities.
The next room resembles an igloo within the icebreaker and is themed to the many indigenous tribes located in and around the arctic. Artifacts found themed to the Sami people of Scandanavia, the Chukchi from Russia, and three tribes of Inuit, including the Inupiat of Alaska, Inuvialuit of Canada, and Kalaallit of Greenland. Traditional clothing, tools, and even sleds from each of these cultures. Guests can check out the cultures in-depth as they walk around the museum. Each of these exhibits is presented by the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian as well as the National Museum of Norway for the Sami and Chukchi peoples.
Guests then exit the boat through an icy tunnel in the ship’s wall into the next segment of the museum, themed to the many arctic expeditions throughout history. This icy chamber features artifacts from both successful and failed expeditions, including rare artifacts from the incredibly mysterious failed expeditions of Captain Sir John Franklin. This failure is one of the biggest maritime mysteries in history where the mysterious disappearances of 129 different men with no real clues left over. In 2014, the discovery of one of Franklin’s ships the HMS Erebus was a groundbreaking lead on the mystery, and now, Disney possesses key artifacts from the shipwreck. However, this is not the only expedition featured, but also featured are the expedition to the North Pole, the first-ever trip to the location, by Robert Peary, and even artifacts from famous Viking explorer Erik the Red, who first settled on Iceland and Greenland, among others.
Finally, guests leave the cave and enter a room themed to an ice sheet with a full-screen dome ceiling that projects the night sky over the arctic. We see a small village across the way, lit up, but most of the sky projects the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis. The room swells with ambient music and guests are free to spend as much, or as little, time as they’d like as the room creates a cool place to rest and just relax, featuring ice shelf themed benches towards the edges of the room for those just looking for a place to chill.
Guests then enter a final tunnel and exit back out the other side of the icebreaker back into the park, preventing any light from shining into the Aurora Borealis room, ruining the effect.

Arctic Passage Goods
Set inside an arctic seaplane hangar, Arctic Passage Goods was set up by scientists and explorers as a general store where they could gather supplies for their explorations. However, for the guests, this serves as the main store for the land. Here, guests can purchase goods and souvenirs related to the entire park as well as Disney souvenirs in general. Guests looking for t-shirts for Disney's Lost Kingdoms or just a classic Mickey Mouse plush can find it at Arctic Passage Goods.
Throughout the store, different themed elements suggest that it is indeed an arctic seaplane hangar, including a large seaplane jettisoning outside of a snowbank. Guests can climb into the cockpit of the plane to take a fun picture. Within the store are aviation suits, plane parts sitting atop shelves, and a half-constructed seaplane hanging from the ceiling.
Polar Expedition Outpost
Located within a weather dome, this is a small shopping location that serves as somewhere to purchase goods themed specifically to the passage. Here, guests can purchase interactive maps featuring locations within the park and the land that guests can explore. Other items here include SD cards, camera batteries, and other goods that may be needed for guests exploring Disney's Lost Worlds.
The Lost Cave
A shop found attached to the Voyage of the North Sea. It is a small shop that is specifically themed to the attraction, selling plushes of all the animals found on the attraction as well as other merchandise themed to the attraction, such as t-shirts, hats, and collectible pins, among other souvenirs. Located in this shop is an animatronic of a Woolly Mammoth towards the back that is there to take pictures with, as well as an example of the top-notch animatronics found at the park.
Glacier Gifts
Another smaller shop, Glacier Gifts is located not far from the Erie Expedition Arctic Museum and is featured in a riverside cabin. Inside, guests can purchase science kits and outfits that make them feel like real arctic scientists. Kids and adults alike can now wear the iconic red jumpsuits found in arctic research bases as well as take their kits back to the hotel and learn a little bit about ice cores, digging up fossils or how Aurora Borealis works
