Viking Vibes: New Food Booth in EPCOT's Norway Pavilion Nears Completion

Work seems to be getting close to completion on a new, detailed food booth coming to the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT.

What’s Happening:

• Back in September 2025, construction went up around the planters in front of Royal Sommerhus, the meet & greet location for Anna and Elsa from Frozen at the Norway pavilion in World Showcase.
• Since then, a new structure (likely a food kiosk) has popped up, with quite a bit more detail than what was there before. This new kiosk has some intricate details, plus grass on top – just like with the Royal Sommerhus.
• An opening date for the new kiosk has yet to be revealed – but with how complete it looks, we wouldn't expect to it to be too long from now.

• Remaining behind walls is the statue of Grete Waitz, the legendary Norwegian Olympic marathoner, who won the New York City Marathon nine times and became the first woman in history to run a marathon in under two hours and 30 minutes.

• Here's a look at the statue:
