What's Happening In Norway?

[Disneylover99]

What's happening in Norway now that Anna and Elsa are gone?

Is their meet and greet area now part of The Puffin's Roost store again with merchandise for sale?

Is the Stave Church still promoting the movie, Frozen?

Whose been to Norway in the past few days?

I don't know, but I really hope everything is back to normal! I hated all of the Frozen merch in Puffin's Roost and I missed the old Norwegian artifacts in the church! And it was so much more crowded in Norway with A&E there!

I bet the frozen merchandise is still there. But I'm wondering if they've moved it into Anna and Elsa's meet and greet room.

I'm in epcot today and when we went to Norway to ride maelstrom it was closed with cms standing outside and construction walls near the old cave where you could see the boats. Hmmm

 

[MakiraMarlena]

The construction walls at Maelstrom were there before the girls went to MK.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

Construction walls around Maelstrom? Hadn't heard about that. Anyone know more about this?

Oh no... I hope it's not what everyone's been rumoring....

I am afraid to ask, what's the rumor?

It's been thrown around that they're replacing Maelstrom with a Frozen ride. Some people are all for it, but I love Maelstrom. It's one of my favorites. There was a thread a few weeks ago that said people couldn't book it for a FP+ for early June... so it looks like they're doing something serious with it...

As much as I love Frozen, Noooooo!!

I doubt Disney would sneak in there to redo the ride without word getting out. Not to mention all the talk about the shopkeepers wanting things to settle down there again.

 

[kapoof]

I would love to see a frozen ride!!!

I agree. It's just odd that it seems like it's going to be closed down for at least a month... Hopefully they're just doing some sprucing.

Maybe all that extra attention it got cause of the sisters tired it out and it needs a vacation

Hee hee. One hopes!

 

[mom2rtk]

Maybe it's still thawing out after the sisters left.

Or maybe it's getting run down since FP+ cast it in its new role as a tier 1 attraction.

Rumor is that the movie part is being replaced with a more comfortable area for the Frozen girls. The move to MK appears to be temporary. Again things change fast so don't count this as fact, but so far that's the rumor going around the water cooler.

We were at Norway Sunday morning, the day Anna and Elsa left. I asked one of the gift shop CMs if he was glad they were gone, and he said, "SO glad." He said he'd been there since 1997, and the A&E phenomenon was the most disruptive thing he'd ever seen.

We are going June 13-22, I just tried to switch one of our FP+ to Maelstrom and it gave me available times. I did not switch the FP+ that we have schedule, I love Maelstrom too, but not switching Soarin for Maelstrom....lol

That's interesting... I wonder how that would work with exiting the ride?

I think this was for the very first week of June, so either they moved the refurb up or it's going to be a short one. Either way, that's a relief! Also, I agree with you- I have no idea why that's a Tier 1 now.... The waits have never been more than 20 minutes when I've been there.
