Yesterday they had a Viking hanging around the church in Norway. He was a face character and really in character. He was mean and grumpy and just grunted. He posed for pics. He was very atmospheric style. Lots of fun!

Are you sure it wasn't Kristoff, Sven and Oaken?

I love these! On the frivolous side, but fun. This is what Norway needs, not cartoon princesses.

LOVE THIS!!! This is what makes me love Disney. It doesn't have to be Mickey and Pooh all the time. Random people walking around their country would be awesome. Imagine walking through the Mitsukoshi Japanese store and a Samurai walking past you to look at the candy or yell with the Pick A Pearl girls!!

Sure it's not just a couple of drunk guys playing dress up? 
Seriously, that looks like fun. Anything that adds a non-Frozen element to that area is welcome, IMO.

These are some pictures we got with the Vikings in June. It was really fun meeting them. We saw them again in November. Skol!

I see many more of these "Vikings" wandering around aimlessly, grunting and fist-bumping during the Food & Wine festival.

I know very little about vikings. There should be some kind of ride that illustrates Norwegian culture so I could learn more. By the way, if anyone wants to know what happens to snowmen in summer I have all the answers

Hey, Johnny! Wanna go on the Vikings ride?! You want to learn all about Norway with Viking pillaging, murder, and slave trading, right Johnny?!
But, mommmm.... ""Vikings"" is a just a construct for wide-ranging Scandinavian tribes of Northern Europe that predated the establishment of ""Norway"" as a particular geographic region, culture, and people.
I paid eight thousand dollars for this vacation, young man, and you're going to ride the Viking ride and pretend it's distinctly Norwegian, mister!

Saw these guys on Friday and they were great. Only one issue though and it's always been a Norway Pavilion issue. They are placed right in the middle of the narrow walkway into the Pavilion. That area is already clogged with guests going to Akershus, Frozen and the bakery. So placing them in that same narrow space really made it difficult to move past them or even get out of that area. Disney really needs to rework that area and open it up more. They could easily move that stone performance area somewhere else and create a wider path.
