Norway has stores and restaurants and something many of the other pavilions in the World Showcase don't have...a ride!

Maelstrom is a log flume that takes you through the Norway of legend including some close calls with Trolls and into the Norway of today with a final plunge (don't worry you won't get wet on Maelstrom other than a few sprinkles) into a stormy North Sea for a close encounter with an oil rig.  A neat feature of Maelstrom is the the boats go forwards and in reverse turning most people's expectations of a log flume around.



If you're in the mood for a treat while visiting Norway might I suggest the Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe which has some really tasty pastries.



Before leaving the World Showcase for now Mexico was the last pavilion to pass by.  Inside of this pyramid are several shops, a restaurant and a boat ride that used to promote Mexican tourism.  I was never a big fan of it so we passed on by for a few hours in Future World.



Outside of the Mexican Pavilion the Mariachi Cobre add some music to the atmosphere.
