Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride (Part 2)

[A foolish mortal]

Ahh that makes sense. Has the new merchandise store by the Royal Sommerhus been named yet? If not, that might be the "Golden Crocus" that I saw in some concept art.

Not that i know of yet! So could be.. But hoping for a more norwegian name!

I agree! I was also hoping for a more Norwegian ride! I'll leave it at that or I'll have to venture to the other thread

The door is still there. I circled it in this picture

..dat clash of colors and textures..

 

[Cesar R M]

I am wondering why they changed the look of the façade at all. There was nothing wrong with what was there.

Clearly it wasn't "arandelle'ed" enough

 

[MagicHappens1971]

Not that the facade needed to be changed, but I did like the brick work they started, why there's brick on both sides of that ugly yellow thing is beyond me, don't really get why it couldn't just be all brick

And now that same CM just went back in with a cupcake or something

Let the cupcake party conspiracies begin!

Let It Throw (Up).

That looks terrible, did the Imagineers design it in the dark or something?

 

[PizzaPlanet]

I don't think that I've missed Maelstrom more than I do now...

 

[thequirkysarah]

I have no idea what they think they are doing here. It doesn't make any sense architecturally.

 

[Bartattack]

That Yellow colour is not that uncommon in Norway... but you have to get used to it

 

[Castle Cake Apologist]

Presumably the roof is not finished yet. I'm hoping for the best on this, but very concerned so far. Maybe the team responsible for the New Orleans Square redo designed this as well?

I'm not understanding why people are saying it's the same roof that was there before? It's very clearly not.

but the scrims are down so they must be done, there is a lot of outcry on twitter as well.

The new entrance wall looks great, but like everyone else, that yellow building? Did they hire Epcot's future world painters? I think the other problem is that it's just too quick of a transition between the church/castle wall and the yellow building that looks nothing like it. And then you have the awful roof.

It's like everything they do anymore. Some of it's really nice and on point and then the rest leaves you scratching your head in confusion. Can they please get it together?

Second, I too have wondered - since FP+ is so smart phone based, how folks from other countries are able to use it easily. Does Disney just expect you all just have worldwide coverage on your phones? Even if you bring your phone and just use it on WiFi at WDW, it's still a lot more technical know-how than just using the old system (I doubt most people have ever had to turn off cellular and only use WiFi).

I'm from Europe, and I haven't had any problems using the fastpass+ on my phone. Roaming is automatically disabled. But I can use wifi to make my fastpass bookings. Only when I'm on a bus driving to a park I can't use wifi to make any changes.
But since roaming costs are going to disappear in the future... then that problem will also be solved.

I was at Disneyland Paris recently and then I realized how much I got used to the WDW fastpass+ system (and how easy it was to use my phone). There were long queues everywhere at the fastpass kiosks of people trying to get a fastpass ticket. (also due to the fact that lots of rides are closed with the current refurbishments and standby wait times are up.)

This is an example of a queue to get fastpass tickets (for big thunder):

 

[OvertheHorizon]

I'm fairly confident that Disney painters will be applying a patina to the new roof. I suspect they aren't finished "aging" the yellow portion of the wall or the white part below it.

I saw this other picture of the roof on twitter:

I just had an actual sigh of relief. That looks a lot better.
