Review: Akershus Royal Banquet Hall and the Disney Princesses


If your daughter(s), wife and/or girlfriend is into one or more Disney Princesses, you must take them to Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway section of Epcot. All who attend the royal banquet can expect to meet several of the following Disney Characters: Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Princess Aurora, Ariel and/or Mary Poppins

I booked several months early and had trouble figuring out how my reservation time would work. The world showplace section opens at 11am. And my reservation was earlier than early hours for the future world section of Epcot.

On thursday March 20th, I got to Epcot a half an hour before my breakfast reservation. You go to the special breakfast reservation line to enter. Note: I think the only other facility that was open was the stroller, wheelchair and ECV rental store.

When you get to the Norway section, you check in with the friendly staff outside. After 5-10 minutes I was lead inside to a waiting line for a picture with one of the princesses. That day it was Belle. Then you are taken to your table.

While there is a buffet section, everybody was served a big plate with 2 sausages, 2 bacon, cheesy hash browns and scrambled eggs. It was there when I got back to my table. I wondered why the buffet didn’t have a carving section, bacon and sausage.

Some of the other princesses come around to each table to chat, sign autographs and/or have pictures taken. On this day, I didn’t see Mary Poppins. If you need one particular princess, you may want to check when making the reservation.

The food was good but you are really paying for the characters and a souvenir photo package.
