Thank you all for your input. I hate being so torn. And I hate that my DH thinks that Beirgarten would be more fun. Grrrr
The other input is that we are moving to Japan in December. Now, they may have Princess meals at Tokyo Disney, but we won't be back to WDW until she is at least 8.
Quin said:Your DH is right. Biergarten WOULD be more fun - for HIM. And for the boys. There is nothing wrong with not eating every single meal with the other family There is also nothing wrong with not eating every single meal with your own family. DH and the boys and your friends go to Biergarten. You and DD go to Akershus and let her be enthralled with the wall-to-wall princesses. Her perspective at 8+ years old is going to be wildly different than it is at age 4. It's great that your friends were able to get an ADR there later in their trip, but prior posters are right that they should not pressure you to make your DD forego an experience that is important enough to them that they are making sure their DDs get. I'm sure you're trying to avoid conflict with your DH and to make this a magical family trip, but your DD needs you to stand up for her on this one.

1900 for breakfast isn't princess at all.
You have all convinced me! We are keeping our Akershus reservation. Why should my DD miss out? And...her Daddy and brothers will be there as well. I figure she has spent countless hours at swim meets, soccer games, footballs games, practices and school functions. They can manage to give her an hour and a half with the princesses.
I think the kicker really was that the our friends weren't willing to split up since they had Akershus later in the week and didn't want to miss it. Heck, neither do we!
Thanks again!
