When my son and nieces and nephews were little this was a must during the family vacations We come alone now for food & wine and prefer it to the Castle which food quality has been sinking for at least the past 3 years! The cold board is great along with the service and we still enjoy the atmosphere even... More

Great for everyone who loves princesses. The food is MUCH better at lunch than it is at breakfast. The princess parade is cute and my kids loved it. I would suggest that your little girls wear their favorite princess dress. We've seen Mulan, Snow White, Ariel, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty and Belle there!

Seeing such negative reviews of this place always makes me wonder if others just went on a bad day or something because we absolutely loved it here! I had lunch here with two friends, all of us young adults, and had a great time. We checked in 15 minutes early for our reservation and waited for about 10 to be... More

You get a free family pic and princess characters to go with your buffet dining. The food is good and the experience is great. Good dining plan option

We have just returned from our second trip to disney world and second trip to akershus in Epcot. We went here two years ago as we couldn't get in at royal table. This time we decided to go again as we were impressed first time. We personally prefer this to royal table as it seems a friendlier atmosphere with more... More

We had lunch here, it was an appetizer buffet, then order off menu entree, and a desert sampler plate. The appetizer buffet was different than other buffets we had as it was Norwegian food, which was very good. They call your name for your reservation as "The royal (last name) family" which was a fun touch. We had a family... More

The event is to meet the princess and that was wonderful. Both of our daughters received a lot of personal attention from each princess visit table side. The food was okay and the service was rushed. No time to enjoy an after meal coffee and relax.

We ate breakfast here with my in-laws and two daughters (2 and 4) and had a fantastic experience. Everything on the buffet was plentiful and fresh and included unexpected items like caramelized goat cheese (which was amazing) and lox. The family-style breakfast was the best meal we enjoyed at Disney. There were 5 princesses and each spent several minutes at... More

If dining with princesses is on your must do list, than this is the best place. Akershus is expensive but significantly less so than Cinderella’s. The atmosphere is regal with stone archways and royal banners. A picture with a princess, usually Belle is included in the price. The food for some is going to be a sticking point. You start... More

The food is so good!! They bring you bacon sausage and eggs on a plate with the cheesy potatoes and I thought I had died and gone to heaven! They were so good! The buffet had a wonderful selection with lox and all the trimmings and a yogurt bar. They also had the best pastries ever. The princesses are the... More
