Akershus Royal Banquet Hall offers Disney Princess character dining in a medieval Norwegian castle setting at EPCOT's Norway Pavilion. Guests are greeted by a princess upon arrival and enjoy a Norwegian-inspired buffet while additional princesses visit each table for photos and autographs. The castle atmosphere is authentic, modeled after Oslo's Akershus Fortress with stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and medieval banners. The menu features Scandinavian dishes alongside American favorites, making it accessible for all palates. As one of only two EPCOT character dining experiences, Akershus is extremely popular with families seeking princess interactions in a World Showcase setting.

Character appearances may vary and are not guaranteed.
The princess lineup rotates and changes. Common appearances include Belle, Aurora, Snow White, Ariel, Jasmine, Cinderella, and Rapunzel. Typically 4-5 princesses appear per meal, but the specific lineup is never guaranteed.
Akershus is less expensive, easier to book, and offers more princess character interaction. Cinderella's Royal Table has the castle location and Cinderella guaranteed, but fewer princesses during the meal. Many families prefer Akershus for value.
The buffet includes American favorites alongside Norwegian dishes. Kids can fill up on familiar items like chicken, pasta, and potatoes if they're not adventurous. The dessert selection is princess-approved!
