Funny story about the Tricky Trolls of Norway: One of the first times we went to WDW as I couple I believe it may have been our second time when I was 5 months pregnant with Aaron and I couldn't ride on many of the rides I was doing a tour of performances. Well, the sign in front of Norway said the Tricky Trolls of Norway and then underneath said the times. I really wanted to see the Tricky Trolls of Norway perform so we sat there for a while until Jason realized that they were talking about the ride Malestrom and the times were for the Norway band. DOH! The Tricky Trolls got me! They sure are tricky!
This is one of my favorite inside jokes between Shanan and me.
She was looking forward to the Tricky Trolls so much that when we were watching the Chinese acrobats (very talented, btw) she kept checking the time to make sure she wouldn't miss it. We ended up missing the last fifteen minutes of the show so we could get over to Norway so we could get good "seats". So we go ahead and get there ten minutes before it starts and of course no-one is around waiting for anything, so we weren't really sure where we should be waiting for the big event. We end up just hovering around the entrance to Norway, so we can oversee the entire pavilion.
It ended up being five minutes past the scheduled time when we started to question the existence of any tricky troll activity in the area (now mind you, I'm going off her plans, I never checked the schedule myself) so I check the schedule. "Uh hun, the tricky trolls you are looking for are in Maelstrom, they're just describing the ride here." and as soon as I said that a couple of musicians came out to perform. Now I'm sure they were great (if subdued, they were a mellow music act) but I don't think Shanan has ever been more bummed out and disappointed in her life. Ok, that's a slight exaggeration but she was looking forward to the trolls all day and I don't think we went on Maelstrom on that visit purely out of spite.
One of the reasons I love Shanan so much is her ability to find fun and excitement over the smaller things in life (even when they don't really exist); makes it a blast to be around her.
