Hi Rosa!
How wonderful that you are visiting Walt Disney World coming up on December 23! The holiday season at Walt Disney World is majestic! I'll tell you all about it in a moment, but first, let me answer your question about
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. I am so excited that Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is returning on November 4! This is one of my daughter's favorite places to eat, so I can't wait to visit again!
Unfortunately, Walt Disney World restaurants do not maintain a waitlist, but don't despair! Guests make changes to their schedule frequently, so you will see new dates and times become available. Continue to check back on the Walt Disney World website to see if new reservation times have opened up. Guests make changes to their schedule frequently, so you will see new dates and times become available.
Since you are visiting during the holidays, make sure to check out
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. You can even enjoy the Holiday Cookie Stroll, which is a fun activity where you can get stamps in your International Festival Passport each time you buy a cookie around the World Showcase. Once you buy five cookies from the official cookie stroll locations, you can get a free cookie! You will also want to visit Disney Springs to check out their decorated Christmas trees.
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
