A royal welcome to you, Courtney! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney. It looks like your carriage will arrive at
Walt Disney World Resort in just two short days--how exciting! I love chatting about all things Disney Princess, and I'll be happy to help with your question.
Our family always enjoys a Character meal on our Disney vacations, and the Storybook Dining experience at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is a favorite. Located in the Norway pavilion at
EPCOT, this restaurant features Norwegian-inspired dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, served family-style. Although the food is excellent, the main attraction is the chance for some quality time with favorite princesses who will circulate through the restaurant to greet Guests and take photos.
Belle is often at Akershus for a photo opportunity in her beautiful yellow ballgown. Beyond that, there is not a set schedule for which princesses will be fulfilling their royal duties on any given day. You may see Cinderella, Ariel (in ballgown), Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora, Mulan, or Tiana on your visit!
If you don't happen to encounter a particular princess that you're hoping to see during your meal, there are opportunities for some more royal greetings throughout World Showcase. These were always my preferred princess meet-and-greets when my girls were little--you get to meet the characters outdoors and have plenty of time for photos and autographs! There will usually be a
Disney PhotoPass photographer with each princess to capture some lovely shots of your meeting. We like to make an afternoon of it, working our way around the lagoon and stopping for some favorite EPCOT treats along the way.
Currently, you can find Asha from
Wish (Mexico), Anna and Elsa (Norway), Mulan (China), Snow White (Germany), Jasmine (Morocco), Aurora and Belle (in blue dress) in France, and Mary Poppins in the United Kingdom pavilion. Times vary depending on which day you visit, so be sure to check the
My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date information.
Courtney, I hope you have a practically perfect vacation and lots of quality time with your favorite princesses! Thanks again for visiting planDisney, and please reach out again if we can help with any other tips to add a little extra sparkle to your plans.
See Ya Real Soon!
