Akershus or 1900 Park Fare???

[Krisshay13]

Had my plans all set..... Then read about the new Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast. Immediately reserved that!!!...now trying to figure out what meal to drop.
I've lurked on your board for years..and feel like an expert due to all I've learned from you.
Last time at Disney was 2013. This trip is for a 5 yr old girl. I have eaten at Akershus but she hasn't....we have not eaten at 1900 PF.

We have noon ADR at Akershus and 8PM ADR at 1900 Park Fare. I grabbed 7:35 for Bon Voyage so, now I have to decide which of the other 2 to cancel. All 3 are on the same day...other days on trip can not be changed.
I love the idea of "possibly" meeting/pictures with the couples. So, I'm leaning towards keeping 1900 Park Fare.

I know characters change but, who is typically at Akershus now?
And do you think you get to take pictures with the prince & princess together at these meals?

Thanks in advance!!!
Can't wait to be there!!!

If you are truly in a toss up, have you tried looking at it from a menu point of view? Or a which one is closer to where we will be in the parks point of view? That's two criteria that I use a lot.

In this case - I would skip the lunch one. Big breakfast (or at least decent sized) - followed by big lunch. That would be too much for me.

keep 1900. The food at Akershus was not great and interactions were very rushed.

We have done both. We did breakfast at Akershus. I didn't think my kids would like the lunch/dinner menu. The breakfast was great and the character interactions were great. 1900 was a lot of fun. We did dinner there and enjoyed the food and the character interactions. It's different because of the stepmother and sisters. I would base the decision on the menu and what is the best time

We did breakfast at Akershus 4 years ago....met Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Snow White & Jasmine. It was awesome. Do you know who is "typically" there now?
AND...I have been watching YouTube videos of the step-sisters and they look like so much fun.

wow, fast response...=)

Actually, the menu items didn't help us make a choice..we are not picky eaters...lol
and forgot to add........"IF" we go with Akershus....I would try to move the ADR time back an hour or so.

I'm mainly deciding between the characters. Our other ADRs are at Tusker House and dinner at BOG

I think it was similar characters when we went

Akershus -

Aurora, Snow White, Belle and Cinderella. We have also had substitutes for Belle and Cinderella, being Jasmine and Mulan. Snow White and Aurora have always been there for me.

Akershus breakfast is good, we didnt care for the food at lunch. The food at 1900 PF has always been good, regardless of the meal. I would keep the dinner since you wont be out of breakfast until around 9-ish and 3 hours later for lunch seems tough.

1900 PF By a landslide......Best Breakfast & Best character interaction..At least this is what we've encountered....
I've never done Akershus breakfast but the dinner, (TBH) was almost as terrible as Tony's....& That's pretty bad....The food to us was--->
