Facts and Figures
- The pavilion is staffed by 150 young Norwegian men and women, who wear a copy of the traditional national costume the bunad. Cast members sign a contract for 6, 10 or 12 months.
- While performing IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, the landmark of every country around World Showcase is illuminated. However, even though the Norwegian Stave church is Norway's landmark, it is one of two landmarks to not light up during the show. This is because Norway is situated directly across the lagoon from the Morocco pavilion. For religious reasons, the Moroccan landmark is prohibited from having any kind of lighting attached, so in order to keep symmetrical the Norwegian landmark does not light up either.
