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.

"A Taste of Norway" appetizer, then family-style entrees and desserts; princess character dining

Insider Tip

Princesses rotate through the tables (the lineup varies; Belle, Ariel, Aurora, Snow White and Jasmine are regulars). Every meal opens with the "A Taste of Norway" appetizer, then family-style entrees and desserts. More affordable than Cinderella's Royal Table for princess experiences.
