Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Kristin!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for stopping by, and we are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to
Disney World! It looks like you will be arriving in a few months—WOO HOO! We know you are already counting down the days, and how you have all of us counting down the days and chEARing you on as you get closer to your arrival. Oh, and Mickey and Minnie just told me they can't wait to "See You Real Soon!"
I have to start off by saying that you are going to LOVE your experience at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall! This restaurant offers an enchanting dining experience where you can meet beloved Disney Princesses in a beautiful medieval castle setting. The delicious Norwegian-inspired cuisine and all-you-care-to-enjoy meal make it a unique and memorable feast for the whole family. With its magical atmosphere and character interactions, it's a fantastic way to add extra Disney magic to your
EPCOT visit! This restaurant is a core memory for my daughters. They are now young adults, but they still talk about taking a picture and talking with Belle. (I wish I could show you pictures!)
What a great and super important question! After speaking with a very helpful Cast Member, here is a list of the Disney Princesses you will typically meet during your meal:
* Belle
* Cinderella
* Aurora
* Ariel
* Snow White
NOTE: While the princess lineup can vary, you might even be able to see Mulan, Tiana, or Jasmine! (The experience of meeting Mulan for my family is something we will never forget. Our girls were mesmerized by her encounter, and she even talked about Shan Yu and the Huns with my two boys! It was the absolute BEST!)
While visiting EPCOT, there are so many incredible things to do! If you have some thrill seekers in your group, you will NOT want to miss my favorite Disney attraction,
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! This attraction is an adrenaline-pumping, story-driven coaster that combines thrilling backward launches, smooth spinning motion, and an epic soundtrack for an unforgettable ride. (I sure hope you get to hear the song "September." I am now singing and dancing with excitement as you have the opportunity to experience this AH-mazing ride!)
As you continue to plan, please make sure you check out the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information regarding all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible surprises planned, and we don't want you to miss a thing!
If you have other questions, please let us know. We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
