"My daughter and I enjoyed lunch with the princesses on 23rd April 2005.  I booked the lunch just two days before using Guest Services at Animal Kingdom Lodge.  No payment was required at the time of booking, just a credit card number.  The meal was traditional Norwegian and I thought it was good value for money.  Cinderella DID appear at this meal, together with Aurora, Jasmine, Belle and Ariel.  Highly recommended."

"The meal itself here was average. What really made the breakfast memorable was my daughters' faces as the princesses came out.  That made the greasy eggs a bit more palatable.  The princesses were kind and friendly and posed for pictures graciously without making us feel rushed." MM

"We had our PSB 3/2/04. We attend WDW yearly and attend at least 3 Character meals each year. This meal was to celebrate my daughter's 6th birthday and what a celebration it was! We entered the park at 8am. This alone was worth the $17.99 per adult and $9 per child. We strolled through the park taking our time since our reservation was not until 8:30am. We arrived at the Akershaus and signed in a little before 8:30am. On browsed in a near by store for a few minutes until we were approached by a cast member. My daughter was asked to be the "special princess" for the morning and help during the "Opening of the Doors" ceremony. She was given a beautiful Princess hat, wand and cape to wear during the ceremony and breakfast. She was on cloud 9! Once my daughter magically opened the doors with the help of Princess Aurora, we were seated 1st and she was seated in a special princess high back chair. The table was set w/fruit and pastries. While we snacked the wonderful wait staff brought juices and coffee. The princess began to visit each table, one by one. We were then served the skillet of all you can eat, eggs, bacon, sausage, hasbrowns and waffles. The food was very good and fresh. The princess visited our table and each made a big "todo" about my daughter being the special princess of the day and wished her a happy birthday. The morning was simply marvelous! We HIGHLY recommend this character meal for families with young girls." (3/04)

"We attended this breakfast in Oct 2003. We arrived at the park as we had an early seating. Once into the restaurant the Princesses came by one at a time. However their visit was extremely quick. Just time to sign the autograph book and 1 photo and then they were off to the next table. They were not even very keen to have have photo's taken individually with each of my 2 daughters. The food was OK but felt we were rushed through. It was a good way to see the Princesses but not sure I would book again. Much preferred the Royal Table at Magic Kingdom"

"We just came back from WDW and 60 days before we left, I tried every morning to get into Cinderella's Royal Table, or the Princess Storybook Breakfast. To my surprise, on the last day we were there, I finally got PS for PSB. We were seated after about 5 minutes, and as soon as we walked in we had fruit, and pastries sitting on our table. The service was excellent. (even though they were extremely busy!) However, I have to be honest in saying that I definitely wouldn't go to PSB for the food. Nothing was really wrong with it, however I thought $20 a person for scambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and waffles was pretty pricey! I'm used to the typical character buffets (out of this world), so I guess this was a little disappointing. However, my daughter had a blast, and it was definitely worth it to see her enjoy herself so much. We got to see Aurora, Mulan, Jasmine, Snow White, and Belle. The princess' were all wonderful with our daughter, and our daughter was completely not interested in her food that morning! They hugged and kissed her, picked her up (she's two)and my daughter had a wonderful time. I would probably try this one again for my daughter, but I think Cinderella's Gala Feast at 1900 Park Fair was a much better value and about the same price for a Prime Rib Buffet." (10/03) Dana

"My family and I were at this breakfast on 7/28/03 and we highly recommend going to this one! Thanks to the tips on this website we booked it one week ahead of time. Last minute cancellations seem to happen quite often so you got a good chance to get a reservation. The princesses that were there included Belle, Jasmine, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White! Thanks Again!"

"This is our second time eating with characters. First time was at Ohana> I thought That was great. This time we had breakfast with the princesses.We had the last seating. We went with 4 children. We were seated right away. The food was ok. But not as good as Ohana All 5 princesses came to the table and spent plenty of time with the kids. Make sure you have reservations and call ahead to comfirm them. We had no trouble finding the resturant. Ican't wait to go again next year." (5/03)

"We just got back from a magical morning at Epcot.We had booked our breakfast for 9:00am so we arrived at the gates at 8:00.We had no problem to go through the gates early,so we were taking our time and we came across all the charcters greeting the early entry guests.It was a real surprise.We got alot of pictures with different charcters.With all that excitment we got turned around and we were lost and could not find Norway but we did get a little help from a cast member.So be sure you give yourself lots of time to get there and bring a map.Once we arrived at the breakfast we were seated right away.There was already fruit and pastries on the table and coffee and juice were served right away.The food arrived shortly after we had finished with our fruit.The main breakfast was very good and there was more than my daughter and I could eat.Of course she had a hard time eating with all the attention she was getting from the princesses.We were able to meet Belle,mary poppins,jasmine,mulan,and snow white.They were so nice and even spent time at each table talking to you.So you were sure to meet each one and get your pictures taken.Mary poppins even gave me some picture taking tips.It was rather dim in there so be sure you have a flash camera.It was the highlight of our week long trip.I would go again for sure.It was a magical morning,with meeting charcters on the way in,almost having epcot to yourself as you walked to Norway,and eating breakfast in a castle like atmoshere with five wonderful princesses."

"We were there in Jan 2003 for our honeymoon and this was one of the best character breakfasts we have tried. We lived in POFQ and thus have early admission to the park. What we did was we went to Epcot Future World 1st thing for some popular rides and shows first, then head off for our "brunch" at Norway with last breakfast appointment at 10:40am. That worked out great for us as we had a great breakfast and didn't miss any of the characters! We had snow white, sleeping beauty, Belle, Jasmine and Mulan. That was so good as it is normally really hard to meet all these characters altogether and have great photos taken with them. Also, the food was all you can eat and we had so much food that kept us going for the rest of the day. And the theming of the restaurant was great as well, with great service provided. I definitely would recommend this to those who cannot book the breakfast at Cindarella's Castle as I think the service is even better here! In future, I'd love to take my kids to come here as well!"

"We went to this character breakfast just my 7 year old daughter and myself. She loves the princesses. We were let into the park before the others (which was very cool to my daughter) we just told the man at the "rope" we had reservations and he let us in. Since there were only two of us we were seated at a too small table, barely enough room for our plates and no where for the camera! The food however was delicious and my daughter requested pancakes (not on the list of items to choose from) and they made them for her. I thought that was great! My daughter is very shy and I was disappointed that each princess (Mulan, Snow White,Jasmine, Aurora and one other) didn't try to engage in conversation with her. They simply came to our table signed her autograph book took a quick snap shot and walked away. Since they left so quickly I only took one photo of each. We have two cut off heads from princesses. I was disappointed at that and that the last character meal we had done they at least returned or waived or something, not these snooty princesses! So it was okay, she got to say she had a princess breakfast but it wasn't as memorable as we expected. :( Plan ahead to be insistant on getting your pictures and speak up to not let them walk away, I wish I would have."

"Just returned (Oct.20,2002) and went to this breakfast. It was wonderful. We had a priority seating for 8:40 a.m. Was a very easy process to get into Epcot and cast members were available all along the way to help us find where we were going. We went to CRT last year and there were more characters at this one and each princess spent more time at our table. The setting was very beautiful as well. The princesses that were there were Jasmine, Snow White, Belle, Mulan and Aurora. My children really enjoyed seeing all these princesses. When you arrive there is already a fruit and pastry tray on your table. We had strawberries and canteloupe and then three different pastries. The second course was excellent as well and consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage patties, bacon, potatoe casserole, and french toast sticks. I'm glad they came up with another breakfast for the princesses and this is just as good if not better than Cinderella's Royal Table." (10/02)

"We loved it! We had a great experience. We had a priority seating for 8:30am (the first seating of the day). We drove to EPCOT and discovered that parking does not open until 8:00am, but we were one of the first ones in line to park. We parked in the first row! We checked in at the ticket turnstile to the far right. There was no line and we breezed through security. We didn't need directions to Norway, but they had castmembers stationed along the way to guide folks to the breakfast. A little while after we checked in, I noticed a little girl (with her back to me) about the same age as my 7 year old niece being fitted with a princess hat and a wand to open the princess breakfast. On closer inspection, I noticed that it WAS my niece. I raced over to take pictures. Since she opened the place with her magic wand as part of the opening ceremony, our party was seated first. The Princesses in attendance were: Belle, Princess Aurora, Jasmine and Minnie Mouse. The characters spent a lot more time with us than the characters at CRT, so that was really cool. Both nieces really enjoyed seeing the princesses. The 3 year old was absolutely enthralled--she actually posed for a couple of pictures with the Princesses--something that she was too shy to do at CRT--and probably because the Princesses at Norway spent more time and talked to her, she felt a little more comfortable. Belle bent down and was at her same level when she was talking to her. The food was delicious served family style. They started us with some fruit and some pastries. The second course was french toast sticks, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage patties and a potato caserole that was out of this world! There was no low fat alternative available--special dietary needs have to be coordinated in advance. I would have liked to have a little bit more of the fruit and DH would have liked to have more of the pastries--we sort of spaced out that this was all you can eat and we could have asked for more. We did ask for more potatoes and were served another pan of the second course selections. (I wished that I had remembered that on the first course ). We used our connections breakfast vouchers to pay for the breakfast (we were not sure if they would accept them because the breakfast is so new, it was not listed on the voucher as one that was allowed). The vouchers were accepted cheerfully." (8/02) DC
