1900 Park Fare vs Akershus - which one??

[Mrs Lapo]

Hi, I would really like to do a Princess meal for my girls but don't want to spend 2 dining credit on Cinderella's Royal Table. Can you please help me decide between 1900 Park Fare and Akershus? I have never been to either so I am not sure which each one offers.. which princesses or number of princesses.. etc. Any advice would be helpful! Thank you in advance

Also, do you think Ana or Elsa would make an appearance at either of them? We're going in Nov and my girls are obsessed!!

OK, so this might not be accurate, but when we went to 1900 Park Fare in 2006, it was specifically Cinderella related characters, so you wouldn't see Frozen characters there.

1900 Park Fare is a buffet similar not all that different from Chef Mickey or other character-meal buffets. My family much preferred Akershus, which we went to at lunch. You have to be careful with Akershus, however, since the food is more... adventurous.

Edit: 1900 Park Fare also has a breakfast, which includes these characters:

Mary Poppins
Alice in Wonderland
The Mad Hatter
Tigger
Winnie the Pooh

Snow White
Cinderella
Belle
Princess Aurora

We really enjoyed both. If I could pick only one, it would be Akershus. 1900 Pare Fare dinner is Cinderella, her stepmom, 2 stepsisters, and Prince Charming. Akershus was Belle at the entry (picture included in the price), then 3 (IIRC) other princesses who come to the table.

So glad I asked! For some reason I thought it was multiple Princesses at 1900 Park Fare not just the Cinderella crew. Thank you so much!

We consider Akershus our backup to Cinderella's Royal Table. They have the main ones cycling there. We also like the food & atmosphere, so I would deff pick that one if you asked my personal opinion.

1900 Park only has Cinderella themed or the Alice/Mad Hatter one. The other headliners like Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Belle & Jasmine don't cycle there.

You aren't guaranteed any specific characters at Akershus or CRT but you will get main ones, sometimes they throw in backups (I suspect when people are sick or etc).

I doubt they will allow Ana & Elsa to appear at any of the current Princess dining options. It appears they are only available at the M&G in Fantasyland. I assume at some point they will create lots of Frozen things (maybe rides or dinners etc) but for now they are just too popular and would overwhelm the restaurants with mayhem.
