Akershus or LeCellier?

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

I really want to do a princess meal for DD...but we did CRT last time and don't think it's worth 2 TS credits again. That only leaves Akershus...but that's tough when we'll only be at Epcot one day and would like to do Le Cellier?? Suggestions?

We went to Akershus. The food was weird. It said it was a buffet, but the uffet portion was like fruit and lunch meat. Then, you ordered off the strange menu. The portions were small. My daughter barely got any princess time. There was a large party in the main room, and they got all of the attention. I would never eat there again. We left hungry.

How about breakfast at Askerhus? We've done it twice and the princess interaction was great.

Akerhaus is 1TS regardless of meal, but Le Cellier is 1TS at lunch and 2TS at dinner. I don't know if you're doing the DDP, but that's something to take into consideration.

A description of the buffet and the menus are available for the Akerhaus at allears.net:
Breakfast: http://allears.net/menu/menu_psb.htm
Lunch: http://allears.net/menu/menu_norl.htm
Dinner: http://allears.net/menu/menu_nor.htm

Le Cellier will be switching to a Signature on March 1, at this point, it doesn't seem like the menus (lunch and dinner) have been official released.

At Akerhaus you'll have a photo taken with Belle, so you know she'll be there.

We loved Akershus. There is a salad/meat (appetizer) buffet, but then a regular menu to order off of. Best Character dining we ever did. Breakfast at Crystal Palace was nice, but dinner w/ Chef Mickey's the food was awful.

I have some details in my BWI trip report link in my signature. The girls loved seeing all the princesses.

We've been to Akershus twice now. The princesses do not spend alot of time at each table, but I thought for 1 TS credit it was really worth it. You get to see 4 or 5 princesses, free picture with Belle and the cold buffet is really good. The entrees they serve are just ok, but we usually fill up with the cold buffet and we're good.

Especially if your DD will still be under 2 years old, I would not waste your only Epcot meal on Akershus versus something that you, DH, and the other 3 boys would enjoy more. Save the princess meal for another trip. Maybe at some point one adult could wait with DD ata princess meet&greet while the other parent took the 3 boys to a show or other activity.

Or a posible compromise, that would not matter so much which park you were at, would be dinner at 1900PF on any one ofyour days. Cindy for DD but the boys might enjoy Prince Charming and the StepSisters, who are hilarious. ---unless, of course, buffets are simply unmanageable right now with 4 young kids.

I'd do Le Cellier, keeping in mind that it is now 2 TS for dinner. Then for your DD I would consider 1900 Fare Park for the evening Cinderella's Happily Ever After dinner. It has Cinderella, Prince Charming, the step-mother and two step-sisters.
