Are Anna and Elsa at Akershus?

Let's start on that last note. Although it's located right next door to Frozen Ever After in the Norway pavilion, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall does not feature Anna and Elsa from the Frozen franchise. Those princesses appear in the nearby Royal Sommerhus meet & greet location.



As of 2026, Anna and Elsa generally do not appear at the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT's Norway pavilion for the "Princess Storybook Dining" experience. While the restaurant features a rotating cast of Disney royalty—typically including characters like Belle, Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, and Jasmine—the sisters from Arendelle have their own dedicated meeting location nearby. If you want to meet Anna and Elsa, you must head over to the Royal Sommerhus, located just a few steps away in the Norway pavilion. This is their permanent meet-and-greet spot where they greet guests in their charming summer cottage. The separation is likely due to the extreme popularity of the Frozen characters; placing them inside the restaurant would make reservations nearly impossible to get and would disrupt the flow of the dining experience. However, Akershus remains a fantastic way to meet multiple other princesses in a single sitting without long outdoor lines. It is always a good idea to check the "Characters" section of the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit, as character lineups can occasionally shift for special events or operational reasons, but for now, the Sommerhus remains the home of the Frozen duo.
