Editorial Summary

The creators visit Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway pavilion at Epcot to experience a character dining meal priced at 54 dollars per adult. The meal structure begins with a buffet of traditional Norwegian appetizers including cold cuts, cheeses, seafood like mackerel and salmon, and fresh fruit. For the main course, the diners select from a menu, with one choosing slow roasted chicken breast and the other opting for Norwegian meatballs. The creators conclude that the food quality is painfully average, noting that the chicken was dry and the meatballs were chunky and uninspired. While the dessert selection of rice pudding, coffee cake, and chocolate mousse cake was also described as mediocre, the buffet was praised for its authenticity to Norwegian cuisine. Ultimately, the creators determine that while the food may not justify the price for some, the experience is highly valuable for families with young children due to the excellent character interactions and the princess processional.

Creator's Key Takeaways

If the food is really important to you, skip this. But if the access to the princesses and that kind of interaction with your kids is important, then I would say, yeah, it's worth 54 bucks.

I will say where the food was concerned, it was painfully average. Um, it was it was an awful, but nothing had a lot of flavor.

The princesses were fantastic. Um, if you have a little girl in particular that is all about the princesses, yeah, it's $54 a person and the food isn't that great, but the character interaction is ideal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you prioritize food quality, skip this dining experience; if you prioritize character interaction for children, it is worth the price.
