Dining with the Princesses: A Disney World Must Do
Dining with the Princesses at Disney World is such a great experience, as it allows you to meet many of the Disney Princesses. There are many options of which meals you may want to attend to meet them but this is something you should include in your Disney Itinerary. It allows you to meet a good number of princesses without a wait and you get a great photo opportunity with each one in addition to a great opportunity to get their autographs.
Princess Story Book Dining at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
We chose to do Breakfast with the Princesses at Epcot. The breakfast was located in Norway, so make sure to give yourself some time after entering to get there. We did miss our initial time but they told us we could show up anytime within the breakfast hours. Once we arrived we were seated quickly and able to begin our dining experience.
If you are interested in this experience for you or your family, Make sure to make a reservation for this experience. They open up 60 days in advance and these reservations go quickly.
I would also buy an autograph book if you want to get the princess autographs as they come to your table. We did not have one and I would have loved to have a few of their signatures to document the experience outside of the pictures.
What is the cost of Dining with the Princesses?
The breakfast experience costs $59 for adults and $38 for kids. If you choose to have lunch or dinner, the cost is slightly more: $69 for adults and $46 for kids. Tax and gratuity are not included in the price!
What are the food options at the dining with the Princesses?
I absolutely loved the breakfast menu. We started out with an assortment of pastries and fruit before they came out with different meats, eggs, potato casserole, and waffles. My waitress asked about food allergies before she handed us the menu. I have a shellfish allergy and they had a menu, specific for shellfish allergies. They also ask if you want to talk to the chef and if cross-contamination is ok.
What Princesses can you meet at Akershus?
At the breakfast, it is possible to meet several princesses. I got to meet the following princesses: Tiana, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, Bella, and Rapunzel.
The experience: Dining with the princesses!
This is a 10/10 experience.
After arrival and getting seated, we had each princess stop at our table to chat with us before taking a photo with each of us.
Towards the middle of our time there, the princesses did a stroll through the dining hall, which you can see in the video to the right!
While they are talking to you they are all in character and refer to specific things about themselves. When we talked to Tiana, she mentioned visiting her restaurant to try Beignets.
You can dress up for this experience or be a little more casual like we were. We both were ears and either leggings or pants.
What other dining with character options do they have at Disney World?
There are many options if you want to design with the characters at Disney. You are not limited to just the princesses. Make sure to check out the options so that you can meet your favorite characters.

That breakfast looks so tasty. I like the way the arranged the bacon like a rose.
What fun! I think it would make anyone FEEL like a princess to dine with one!
This is awesome, I’d love to do this with my daughter
I am typically traveling solo, but I’ve always told myself as soon as I go on a trip with friends to Disney we’ll have to do a character meal!
The video you included in this post was excellent! You had a great seat and the video made me feel like I was there too. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, this is a must do at Disney. My friend planned it and at first I was skeptical but I really enjoyed it!
I’m going to be a grandmother soon, so it will be fun to visit the Disney princesses with the young one. I love Disney and have been a few times but excited to go back with a granddaughter.
