The area of Norway resembles a Norwegian town square with its cobble stone courtyard and a replica of a 14th century fortress found in Oslo. A stave church mimics 13th Century medieval craftsmanship.

Love the perfume shop!
Cons:
We really enjoy this area but especially shopping in the perfume shop. The perfume there -Laila - is a gorgeous, lovely scent and we always pick up a small bottle. Spritzing it on in the morning immediately reminds me of WDW, and what could be better than that?
The shops also include Viking wear and Troll dolls - which are awfully cute. The staff are very friendly and charming.

Such fun to walk around Norway, we always take pictures wearing the various headware here : ) The Viking ship is cool, great photo opportunities to be had in Norway.

Cool shop
Cons:
in the open
I enjoy this pavilion but I just don't feel "immersed" in the country. To open and separated so I don't feel like I'm any where but store in EPCOT.

Cons:
the food
I didn't really care for the food at the Princess Lunch, the princesses were all done very well, but Jasmine was radiant and spunky! The school house bread was good.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Great bakery, nice Viking exhibit
Cons:
doesn't feel as involved as some other pavilions
Despite being one of the few pavilions with a ride, the Norway pavilion is sort of bland. The ride isn't too exciting but it's nice and cool so I nearly always ride it anyway. The viking exhibit is fun to look at, and their bakery is good if you're craving something sweet but there just feels like something's missing here.

We really like this pavillion. The attraction boat ride through Norway should not be missed. A nice cool ride on a hot Florida day. Everyone must get a picture with the big troll in the gift shop.

If you are a fan of the show Deadliest Catch this is the shop you have to go into. They have clothing from the Northwestern. If you don't watch the show you have no idea what I I just said. LOL The shop has a lot of nice things but they are on the high side when it comes to price. Don't miss the schoolbread! YUMMY

Cons:
The ship is gone
Love the people in the country. Every time I go into the bakery to get my fix of School Bread, The cast members are so blond and fare looking. I love the accents. The Mastodon ride is not to back, not worth a long wait though.

The pretzel in the bakery at this pavilion is excellent. The ride is nice but the rest of the pavilion itself seems kind of bland.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Some interesting architecture, cute shops
Cons:
Not terribly immersive
I like this pavilion for the Maelstrom ride, but it doesn't do as good a job as some of the others in creating a really immersive feel for its country. I also dislike the way they choose to herd people through all the shops after exiting the ride; it was nicer when all the shop doors were open. Remember to take a look inside the Stave Church to see some interesting artifacts (and enjoy the a/c in a place not many people realize they can go).

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
the restaurant, interesting architecture
Cons:
limited shopping
The table service restaurant serves excellent Norwegian fare and now has character dining. I actually enjoyed the first manifestation as a buffet, because it allowed you to sample varied dishes, and not lose much if you did not like a particular dish. The pastry restaurant includes Kringla that are excellent. The shopping reflects Norwegian culture, but is somewhat limited.

Cons:
Trolls! Icky, icky trolls!
Yah, Norvay. This place has a cool little Viking museum and all the troll shopping you can handle. Not as "robust" as some of the other pavilions, Norway draws crowds with its ride Maelstrom.
