BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Ok so I'm not so excited about the whole Frozen thing invading World Showcase, but I really do like the artwork on these posters that have been going up on the walls around the Norway pavilion.

Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I like the art work as well but there is something small world about it. I was under the impression that Norway and not just the ride had been closed but was thankful to see it is still open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 From the Disney Parks Blog... New Frozen Ever After, Royal Summerhus Details & Renderings Releasedposted on August 18th, 2015 by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Social Media Manager New details were released at the D23 Expo on the Frozen Ever After attraction and neighboring Royal Summerhus that are currently being constructed at Epcot. The Frozen Ever After attraction will transport guests to Arendelle just in time for the “Winter in Summer” celebration. According to Portfolio Creative Executive Kathy Mangum, the attraction’s project team is currently partnering with many of the talented individuals at Walt Disney Animation who helped bring the original “Frozen” film to life, as well as award-winning composers Bobby and Kristen-Anderson Lopez. “We’re also expanding the Norway pavilion with the addition of the Royal Summerhus – a charming cabin where guests will be able to meet Anna and Elsa,” Kathy said. “This cabin is based on an actual historic log cabin in Norway. In fact, in order to make sure we get the character and detailing right, we just sent our project team to Norway on a research trip to study the country and its cultural arts and crafts in person, just as the film team did. “We’re confident that this attraction will bring more guests to the Norway pavilion and increase their interest and knowledge of Scandinavian culture, just as the World Showcase was intended to do.” http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/08/new-frozen-ever-after-royal-summerhus-details-renderings-released/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Norway Pavilion's Stave Church closing for refurbishment amid hints of Frozen ride opening date 20 minutes ago in "Norway (Pavilion)" The Stave Church in Epcot's Norway Pavilion will be closing for refurbishment next month. Norway Pavilion The closure begins on April 18 through to May 27, reopening to guests on May 28 2016. The Church currently houses an exhibit about the inspiration behind the animated movie Frozen, and opened in November 2013. Most interestingly, the reopening date of the Stave Church may give further reinforcement to a possible opening date of May 28 2016 for the entire Norway Pavilion makeover, including the Frozen Ever After ride and Royal Sommerhus meet and greet. http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/norway/news/29mar2016-norway-pavilions-stave-church-closing-for-refurbishment-amid-hints-of-frozens-opening-date.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Wed, April 20, 2016 Frozen Ever After Attraction Set to Open at Epcot in June by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Editorial Content Manager, Walt Disney World Resort We have an exciting update for all of you “Frozen” fans today. The Frozen Ever After attraction that’s currently being constructed in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot is set to open in June. Frozen Ever After will take guests on an adventurous boat tour through the kingdom of Arendelle. Once inside, guests will be transported to the “Winter in Summer” Celebration where Queen Elsa embraces her magical powers and creates a winter-in-summer day for the entire kingdom. Guests will pass Troll Valley on their way up the icy North Mountain to Queen Elsa’s Ice Palace, and later on return to the Bay of Arendelle. After disembarking, guests can top off their “Frozen” experience by meeting the royal sisters in their new Royal Sommerhus greeting location. Inspired by a Norwegian countryside cabin, Anna and Elsa have opened their summer home for visitors. To bring this attraction to life, the original voice talent of the original “Frozen” film returned to record new dialogue and songs penned by composers Bobby and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. Walt Disney Imagineers traveled to Norway for architecture and design research, specifically visiting the Detli House in Sverresborg and the Open Air Museum of Cultural History in Trondheim. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2016/04/frozen-ever-after-attraction-set-to-open-at-epcot-in-june/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
