We really enjoyed breakfast here. Dinner was okay, but we definitely preferred breakfast.

Best Disney experience we had over our 5 days at the parks. The buffet and meal were excellent. The princesses were awesome and their interaction with my daughter made our whole trip.

For me the BEST character meal that I have experienced for two reasons - the character interaction and the FOOD! The best food I've had at a character meal.

The best value in magic/food ratio , better food than in Cinderella Castle.

Awesome princess experience! My daughter liked it even better than Cinderella's Castle. Your meal is far less rushed and there is much more time with the princesses. I was concerned about the food, but the selection was great even for picky eaters. It's also a much better value, especially on the DDP.

Great breakfast for princess fans!

We had great interactions with the princesses. The little mermaid was especially good with the children.
cjk1970 gave this a rating of 8 on 06/16/2016 at 11:46:20 pm EDT

Definitely a good value if on the dining plan. One of the best princess meals!

We ate here for the princesses. Very pretty setting. However the food left me disappointed. However, after some menu changes, we will try this one again on out next trip.

Always try to eat here

It's a great place to meet the Princesses, but it is very busy.

The first time we took our daughter to WDW, we couldn't get a dining reservation in Cinderella's castle, but the cast member on the phone told us about a brand new character breakfast that no one knew about yet at Akershus. We booked it right then and there and loved it! We had wonderful character interactions. The food was great, and we can say we were one of the first people to get to experience the character meal.
Meggera gave this a rating of 8 on 06/10/2016 at 3:47:05 pm EDT

One of the best princess meals! The food is good not great-very Norwegian but he interaction with the princesses is the best! So many come around and spend quality time with your child. Much more laid back environment than Cinderella's castle.

One of my favorite Disney memories is of our daughter leading the Princess Processional with Princess Aurora here. We find this a better alternative to Cinderella's Royal Table. Food is good and the cold buffet is a nice addition. Great character meal to meat a variety of princesses.

Great character interaction with the princesses and loved the food! Definitely a good value if on the dining plan, which was 1 table service credit at the time of my visit for all meals.
