Dining Overview
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is by far the best Princess character dining in Walt Disney World. Located in the Norway Pavilion of Epcot guests will enter an adorable Norwegian inspired cottage, fit for not one but five princesses. Beyond the quaintness of the building, the food is delicious, the service is above and beyond, and the Princess interactions are outstanding.
The menu features traditional Norwegian food, and the wait staff (who are all from somewhere in Norway) will gladly tell you about when they eat these foods in the year. The meal has many options for all tastes, including some American options like macaroni and cheese, as well as various allergy friendly selections. This makes this menu the perfect option for families with members of all ages and dietary restrictions.
Reservations are definitely needed due to the popularity of this dining location, so be sure to check frequently to guarantee your spot. Everything about Akershus Banquet Hall is magical, and we cannot recommend the experience enough.
