Akershus Royal Banquet Hall transports guests into a Norwegian royal banquet hall inside the Norway Pavilion, where Disney princesses — Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Snow White, and others — make the rounds during an all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style feast. It's one of EPCOT's most sought-after character dining experiences, popular with younger guests who want guaranteed princess face time without the rope-drop scramble.

Features multiple princess characters (Belle, Ariel, Aurora, Snow White, Jasmine) rotating through tables. More affordable than Cinderella's Royal Table for princess experiences. The koldtbord cold appetizers are genuinely delicious.
