Norway Story??

herodrx1 · 11-19-2008, 04:33 PM

My sister and I were just at EPCOT and we noticed this bricked up window in Norway. We know that NOTHING at Disney is by accident and that EVERYTHING has a story. That got us to wondering the purpose &/or story of this window.
Does anyone have the story??

I've never noticed that before, good find. I

this up for you so we can both find out the answer

Still no answer.....guess I just gave Lou an new reason for a "research" trip.

I don't know, maybe to keep the large trolls out?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Good eyes.

That's interesting. Maybe it was something simple like, rainwater kept leaking in or something... it would be interesting to find out the real reason why it happened, though!

The only thing I can think of it is done to simulate an alteration done on building's in Norway, These buildings were bult to last hundreds of years in a harsh climate. The opening probaly wasn't needed anymore and rather than trying to find and fit matching stone they use bricks wich are easier to use.

I think it is an exact copy from Norway. Went to Norway once and saw "windows" bricked up when archer were no longer needed to defend the towers.
