Located in the Norway pavilion at Epcot, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall allows you to join Disney princesses for Storybook Dining. Akershus is themed after a medieval castle and truly is a royal banquet hall. Sticking to its concept, Norwegian-inspired fare is served here family-style for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

In early 2026, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT’s Norway pavilion operates primarily as a family-style dining experience for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This means that instead of guests walking to a traditional buffet line, "all-you-care-to-enjoy" platters are brought directly to your table for everyone to share. For breakfast, these platters typically include Norwegian waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheesy potatoes. For lunch and dinner, the meal starts with a "Taste of Norway" platter featuring meats, cheeses, and salads, followed by hot entrées like meatballs, salmon, and seasonal vegetables. While the format has shifted away from the pre-pandemic buffet, the meal remains an "all-you-can-eat" affair, and guests are encouraged to ask for seconds or thirds of their favorite items. This change in 2026 allows for a more relaxed and immersive dining experience where guests can focus on the Princess Storybook Dining character meet-and-greets, as Disney princesses like Belle, Snow White, and Ariel visit each table for photos and autographs.
