I havent seen this discussed anywhere so I thought Id throw it out there
.
I read a lot of people proclaiming Akershus to be a great choice for a character breakfast partly because theyll give you a free photo of your child with the princesses. I did a little cost- comparisons and found the following prices for a family of four (using prices on menus at WDWinfo.com, which I know may be slightly off):
Akershus - $30/adult, $18/child = $96 total
Chef Mickey - $27/adult, $14/child = $82 total
Crystal Palace - $21/adult, $12/child = $66 total
Ohana - $21/adult, $12/child = $66 total
Tusker House - $21/adult, $12/child = $66 total
CRT - $32/adult, $22/child = $108 total
So, disregarding CRT, which is understandably more expensive than the others, youre paying more at Akershus than the other character breakfasts, $14 more than Chef Mickey, but a whopping $30 more than CP, Ohana and Tusker House! Granted there are other factors that come into play such as food preference, character preference, and character/guest ratio. And if youre on the Dining Plan it may be a moot point anyways. Maybe this is just the cynic in me, but one could argue that the free photo actually costs you $30 (or more when you factor in the extra tax and tip associated with the higher meal cost).
Feel free to show me the error of my ways (please, someone!)
