When it comes to Disney souvenirs, we have a lot of them!
EPCOT
We are constantly scanning the internet, Disney World parks, and more to find the best merchandise and necessities. Over in EPCOT, we have now found what might be the most unique thing we have ever found in Disney World, and our entire team is obsessed with it!
Is it weird to fall in love with a toy you found in Disney World? We don’t think so! Over in EPCOT, we were browsing through the stores in the Norway Pavilion when we were quite literally stopped in our tracks.
Norway Pavilion
Sure, the Norway Pavilion might be known for Frozen Ever After, School Bread, and gigantic trolls, but we think it should be known for Hoptimists! Yes, you read that right, Hoptimists.
Shop in Norway!
During our stroll through the Fjording, we spotted Hoptimists for $24.99 and snatched it up immediately! They’re tiny, springy figures, almost like cuter bobbleheads. They bounce when you tap them, and they come in a bunch of different colors and styles. You can see how our obsession began right here!
We, of course, had to grab one of our own, and the entire team started name-debating immediately. We can’t wait to add him to our desk for a little smile throughout the day when we’re away from the Disney parks. This souvenir is also a great example of bringing a bit of the Disney magic home that feels subtle, so not everyone will know where you got your adorable chachkie (unless you want them to)!

This is just another Disney find that we had to scream about because we were so excited! As always, be sure to keep following DisneyFoodBlog for more merchandise finds.

Hoptimist is actually Danish design and has been popular for decades! We have family in Denmark and usually pick one up every time we visit. I’m glad the Norway pavilion is showcasing other Scandinavian products!
Bummer, can’t see the picture of it, don’t want to get an instagram account just to see a picture, guess we don’t need a hoptimist.
The thing I need every visit to the Norway pavilion is the Kristofferson Koffee. That stuff is like crack to me
Um, some of us don’t have Instagram and still have no idea what a Hoptimist is.
Adorable! I need one for my office!
