Norwegian Troll at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival

My favorite park since it opened in 1983, EPCOT is where I spend the majority of my time when in Walt Disney World. As a result, I have more 3D photos from this park than elsewhere on Disney property. Let's kick this off with a photo of a troll in front of the Norway pavillion, taken during the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival:



This seems to be a troll of the friendlier variety, not the menacing brute that lives under a bridge.

You'll need 3D glasses to view these photos. They're very inexpensive, to the point where you can buy a couple of them and give them to friends (some of them can be bought for less than three dollars each, with a discount for buying more than one). Look under "Glasses" on the right to see where and how to obtain them.

To view these photos, sit back away from the screen and hold up your 3D glasses to your eyes. You should see a series of about four blurry images all lined up, like this:



Then, start moving in closer to the screen. The two images in the center will come into focus. Then, you can move back and forth slightly, adjusting your position to a distance that is comfortable to your eyes. It may seem a bit tricky at first, but after a while it becomes second nature, and you'll be able to focus on the stereograms instantly.
