Hello,
Welcome to planDisney! James, I can see you are looking for royal accommodations for a meal. This meal is fit for a king, prince, princess as well as a Queen.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is located in EPCOT at the Norway Pavilion. There is something that is regal about eating inside a medieval castle, so get ready to be pampered and served an amazing meal. Advanced dining reservations are highly recommended for this experience. The characters that you will meet do vary based on their specific kingdoms' needs, so pinpointing exactly who will be there is hard to judge. What is guaranteed is you will be meeting princesses, some may include Snow White, Belle, Aurora, Cinderella and Tiana. You are not going to be limited to these as I have seen other princesses as well as other friends like Mary Poppins. The two princesses you will not see are Elsa and Anna.
During your visit to
EPCOT in September you will be right in the middle of one of the most delicious festivals hosted by this park. The
International Food and Wine Festival runs from late August through late November, which gives you plenty of time to enjoy all the festival has to offer. This park day you will be very well fed with all the Global Marketplaces that are spread throughout World Showcase. What royal outing would be complete without a performance? Well the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series will provide the tunes for your day. STARSHIP featuring Mickey Thomas is hitting the festival stage during your visit. Make sure you check the showtimes if you are interested in going to the daily musical performances. There will be a couple of shows per day so your entire day will not be dedicated to these performances.
I know this response may not be as informative as you were looking for. But whichever characters are there waiting to meet you will be a magical meal for all. Stop back to planDisney anytime if you have other questions or need planning tips.
Have a magical stay,
Jeremy A.
