Fodor's Review:

Among the rough-hewn timbers and sharply pitched roofs here—softened and brightened by bloom-stuffed window boxes and figured shutters—are lots of smiling young Norwegians, all eager to speak English and show off their country. The pavilion complex contains a 14th-century, fortresslike castle that mimics Oslo's Akershus, cobbled streets, rocky waterfalls, and a stave church modeled after one built in 1250, with wood dragons glaring from the eaves. The church houses an exhibit called "To the Ends of the Earth," which uses vintage artifacts to tell the story of two early-20th-century polar expeditions. It all puts you in the mood for the pavilion's shops, which sell spears, shields, and other Viking necessities. At the restaurant, Akershus, breakfast is served. Visit the Norwegian koldtbord (buffet) for smoked salmon, fruit, and pastries, followed by a family-style hot breakfast of eggs, meats, and other treats served at the table. For lunch and dinner, you'll find cold dishes like chilled shrimp, salads, and cheeses on the traditional koldtbord; hot entrées served at the table may include glazed salmon, lamb stew, or a traditional ground beef and pork patty called kjottkake. The restaurant is the only one in the park where you can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner with Disney princesses, including Aurora, Belle, and Snow White. You can reserve up to 90 days in advance, and we recommend booking as early as possible. However, you can always check at Guest Services for seats left by cancellations.
