Tee Off at Disney World's Oak Trail Course

The nine-hole, par-36 Oak Trail Golf Course, located adjacent to Shades of Green along with Disney’s Magnolia and Palm golf courses, plays at 2,913 yards (2,552 yards from the front tees). It features undulating target greens. Holes range from 132 yards to a 517-yard, double dogleg par five that Disney pros regard as one of the more interesting and challenging of Disney’s 81 holes of golf. Oak Trail, which was designed by well-known course architect Ron Garl, is considered perfect for both the developing golfer and the experienced player – ideal for a family outing or a quick nine.

Epcot Norway to Host "Deadliest Catch" Star



The Norway Pavilion at Epcot will host Sig Hansen - one of the featured stars on the popular reality series on The Discovery Channel, "The Deadliest Catch" - for an in-park appearance July 10-13, 2008. Hansen will appear inside The Puffin's Roost, the pavilion's merchandise location, each day. He will be joined by his brothers, Edgar and Norman, who also appear on the show.

A fourth-generation Norwegian fisherman, Sig Hansen is the captain of the Northwestern, one of the crab-catching vessels on "The Deadliest Catch." He, Edgar and Norman own and operate the Northwestern. Based in Seattle, Washington, the Hansens have fished together for nearly 20 years.

In addition to signing autographs and posing for photos, the Hansens will have Northwestern merchandise for sale during their Epcot appearance.
