Norway Pavilion: Vikings, Villages, & Folklore

In this next stop around EPCOT’s World Showcase, Kim takes us inside the Norway Pavilion — a space filled with Viking history, stunning architecture, hidden details, and a surprising amount of real Norwegian influence.
From early plans for a Denmark pavilion to the eventual opening of Norway in 1988, this episode explores how the pavilion came to life and why it feels so immersive. Along the way, we stroll through the Stave Church, pause at the Grete Waitz statue, admire the intricate rune carvings, and take a closer look at fan-favorite locations like Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, and the shops and architecture inspired by real places in Norway.
We also dive into the history of Maelstrom, the transformation into Frozen Ever After, and some of the Imagineers and artists who helped shape the pavilion — including John Hench, Tom E. Fitzgerald, Joe Rohde, Jack Ferges, and more.
If you’ve ever wondered why Norway feels so different from the rest of World Showcase… this episode is for you.
