I honestly cannot believe I am typing this but they finally agreed to keep the cultural exhibit intact and ditch the total replacement plans. It feels like a fever dream since I started this thing in my basement and now we actually have a commitment to preserve the real Norway. …

This has resulted in Disney now diluting the exhibit and removing traditional Norwegian products and features. It is believed that the whole Pavillion will be changed to a Frozen attraction, building in Disney's recent feature film.
We believe that the Norway Pavillion in Epcot Centre is a massive attraction for tourists wanting to learn more about Norway and as a consequence the Norwegian tourism industry stands to lose out in a major way by not being able to capitalise on this great marketing opportunity.
Please sign our petition which will be presented to the Norwegian authorities, so that we can ensure a successful future of Norway in Walt Disney World.

I was looking at some old photos of the pavilion today and realized just how much the charm is fading away since the updates started creeping in. It is honestly exhausting to keep explaining that a simple movie tie-in just does not capture the actual history or the culture that so many of us grew up loving. I am currently trying to find a contact who actually works in the tourism office to see if anyone there even cares about this marketing nightmare anymore.

I did not realize that signing the petition would require a donation to the petition company without a choice to opt out! Not appreciated!
DONT TURN IT INTO A THEME PARK RIDE. Keep the beautiful traditional displays and the actual culture. So disappointing.
Please dont do this. Epcot is supposed to be about learning and culture not just another place to shove frozen merchandise down our throats.
Leave it alone! We have enough frozen stuff everywhere else in the parks. Let Norway be Norway.
So sad to see the pavilion losing its history. It was the best part of world showcase.
SAVE NORWAY! It's EPCOT, not the MAGIC KINGDOM!
save this ride.

The people of Norway and the imagineers who spent countless of hours designing the Norway pavilion and ensuring it was culturally sensitive would never allow this!
