Food was so-so

Ate breakfast here on 9/6. We saw Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Snow White & Cinderella. So great princess lineup! The food was ok, but nothing great. Sleeping Beauty actually skipped our table, but after we told our server she came over to us. Service was ok, nothing outstanding though. Not sure if we will bother with this one again.

Me and my 19 month old daughter ate breakfast here. It was absolutely wonderful. We saw all the princesses including Cinderella. Our server, Marita was so sweet. She took pictures of the both us with the princesses. I have done Cinderella'a breakfast in the castle and this breakfast suprpassed that one in every aspect. We weren't rushed at all and the princesses chatted with us for a few moments. Definitely recommended!!!

Ate here on 8/15/10. Food was good. Great place to see princesses if you can't get a reservation at Cindy Castle.

We were quickly seated. We saw all princesses in less than an hour. All princesses spent minutes with us chatting up the kids. We saw Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Aurora, and Cinderella. The food was great. We were full way past lunch time. We would definitely go back!

|

We had reservations here on July 7, 2010 for 9:30 am. We arrived at 9:20 am. We weren't seated until 10:00 am. That was a little upsetting. We had our picture taken with Belle. You get two pictures with your meal. I would have liked the option to have one picture with the entire family and then one with my youngest with just her and Belle, but I was not offered this option. The picture taking felt rushed. Once we were seated, our server was very attentive and we did not feel rushed. Randi was our server. We were one of her last tables...she was leaving to go back to Norway later in the day. She was very sweet. The princess interaction was great! We saw: Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Snow White and Cinderella. We had the best interaction with Ariel. It might have helped that my youngest daughter was dressed as Ariel. Snow White was the worst interaction. She rushed from table to table. The food was tasty. For an all-you-can eat, it is nice that they bring the food to your table. It is a great way to start your Epcot day! If you have a princess fan, this is a great experience!

We went on August 2, 2010. My daughter (5) loved having her picture with Belle when we first came in. The photo turned out wonderful - highly quality. We also enjoyed having Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Ariel come to our table. Akershus is a great alternative to the Cinderella's Royal Banquet in MK, especially since this place is only one Table Service Credit as compared to two at the Royal Banquet. The food at the buffet had a nice selection, but they were mainly cold foods. The hot food is brought to the table consisting of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Akershus is a good value for one Table Service Credit if you have a little girl who loves the Disney princesses!

I liked this character breakfast. The wait was a bit long, even with our reservation. The characters interact well with the kids and we got a picture with Belle, that did not cost extra. The food was ok, not great but normal.

waiting for the hot food plate to come
|

This is the best deal if you want to see the princesses. The picture is included in the price, and if you're on the dining plan, it is only one credit (Cinderella's Castle is 2). It is not my favourite thing that part of the meal is buffet and part of it is served family style. I don't mind it being either way, but I find that mixing the two is slightly annoying. While the service was good, the wait for the hot food is long, especially if you decide that you want seconds, and you will if you like potatoes (the casserole is the best part of the meal). The food choices here are not as good as the ones at Tusker House or Cinderella's Castle. However, my daughter enjoys seeing the princesses and the restaurant has good atmosphere.

This is a nice way to see the princesses if you don't want to spend $$$ to go to Cindy's castle or you just can't get a ressie for the castle. It was nice to get a family picture with Belle and have it included in the price of the meal. We didn't get to fully enjoy this meal because this was the last morning of our trip and we were in a hurry to get FastPasses for Soarin! We got to the restaurant early for our ADR and waited approximately 10-15 to be taken inside. We didn't eat from the buffet, but the platter brought to the table was good, standard breakfast food. We were seated near the door where the princesses enter the restaurant, so we were able to get in and out pretty quickly. We saw Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, & Ariel, the same ones we saw at Cindy's castle. I was hoping for Jasmine or Mulan, but our daughter didn't know any better and was happy! I might go again for a more leisurely breakfast when we're not running for a Fast Pass!

We had breafast here a few years ago and were quite disappointed, so were reluctant to go back. This time we were traveling with my DD and my niece, so going back seemed like the most logical thing to do to get to see the princesses without waitng in long lines elsewhere. I'm so glad we did!
We had an early ADR and were seated quickly. Belle was there and the girls got to have individual pictures with her (alot of other places assumed they were sisters and stuck them together in the same photo). Cold food is served buffet style and the selection was plentiful and fresh. The hot items are served family style on platters at the table and we left the restaurant stuffed. Our server was a little slow to refill beverages but all of our requests were eventually taken care of.
The girls got to see all of their favourite princesses and each took time for individual pictures and autographs. Each was quite gracious and the girls enjoyed themselves. Ariel was their favourite.
The icing on the cake was when the photos came around and we were told they were complimentary with our meal. I wish every character experience offered such a wonderful deal.
I can't wait for December for the chance to go back.

Had to wait long even with ADR. The food made up for it and the picture that is included was a great addition to the package. The food and fresh fruit were great sausage, bacon, eggs, and cheese hash browns come out on a platter and then they had buffet bar with fruit bagels and other things. You see all the princesses here and they interact with the kids so well. Great service, great food, great character interaction what more could you ask for plus you could get more of the platter if you ask well worth it. We were on the deluxe dining plan so great choice.

We enjoyed the breakfast here on June 6. We hadn't been here in a while so I booked it for the princess interaction. We saw Belle, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White & Ariel. Service was OK--it took several requests to refill the basics, but server was attentive and helpful. Food was also above average. Nice cold choices (fruit, yogurt, pastries, bagels) and very good eggs, potatoes, etc.
I would recommend this for those who wish to see a number of princesses at one time. We had nice interaction and a good amount of time for photos, etc.

Our extended family of 8 had breakfast with the princess at the Norway Pavillion on 6-16-10. It was a very pleasant experience for us. We had six adults and two small children ( both girls) age 2 yrs and 4 yrs. I am recovering from cancer and was in a wheelchair for our arrival--the chair was quickly taken care of by the staff and we were soon ushered into a short line for a picture with Belle.
After the picture, we were quickly seated and a very sweet and courteous server arrived, took our drink orders and directed us to the buffet. She also explained that she would be bringing the plates of hot food when we returned from the buffet. The buffet had fresh fruit and an assortment of cereals, danish and other sweet breakfast breads. The hot plate was eggs, cheese potatoes, bacon and sausage--the food was plentiful and hot. Altho we could have had the same food for less somewhere off property the time our small grandchildren had with the princesses was "priceless". The princesses were so sweet to the girls and we had plenty of time to take pictures. One of the pictures with Snow White did not take well and they took our 4 year old granddaughter to a little sitting area and had Snow White come back out.
We really had reservations about whether this event was going to be worth the money BUT we as a family would highly reccommend it. Our 4 year old granddaughter was thrilled. All of us had tears in our eyes just watching her response to each princess.

I was more impressed with this breakfast then I was with previous meals at Cinderella's Royal Table. The food was pretty much the same, but I liked you could get more, if you liked. The staff was very nice, and the Princesses were on point. The lovely picture you get with Belle is a nice Disney touch also. 2 thumbs up!

Service was fair at best, our server brought drinks, the very small breakfast plate and never showed up until she brough the bill. The platter barely feeds 2 and she never came back. Cold buffet was limited and different not for picky eaters. Was it worth the $140 for a family of 4, yes, just to have the princesses photo and autograph with in 40 minutes in a a/c building and not wait in line.
