Greetings, Emmanuel, and a warm welcome back to
planDisney!
Emmanuel, I am impressed with the amount of knowledge you are gaining in preparation for your visit to
Walt Disney World Resort in time for the 50th Anniversary Celebration, not to mention setting the tone of your new year with magical memories, well done!
Firstly, your dining experience at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall sounds very exciting, but I would double check that breakfast is offered, because at this time this dining venue is still operating on a phased re-opening experience with a Norwegian-inspired dinner and Storybook Dining featuring the Disney Princesses. Please refer to the official
Walt Disney World Resort – Dining Updates continuously, as experiences are subject to change.
As far as entering
EPCOT’s International Gateway, you are welcome to have your
Minnie Van™ service drop you off at any
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel in
Disney's BoardWalk area and either walk over or catch a Friendship Boat over to EPCOT. Or, you could be dropped off at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to catch the Friendship Boat over to EPCOT, the choice is yours. Why, you may even wish to ride in your Minnie Van™ to a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel that is along the
Disney Skyliner route and ride the fun aerial gondola to the drop off station near the International Gateway entrance – what fun choices you have!
Tip:If you plan on picking up a Minnie Van™ at the end of your day at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, I hope you consider stopping by
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop for the infamous
Kitchen Sink offering 8 delectable scoops of ice cream covered in just about every delicious topping imaginable.
Emmanuel, we thank you for your continued loyalty, and wish you many exciting planning days as your visit to Walt Disney World Resort draws near.
Best Disney Dishes & Wishes!
Jacqueline
