has anyone done both crt lunch and akershus?

[treehugnmama]

first off we did CRT dinner without the princesses (before i found dis)
My dd loves the princesses at Akershus we have done dinner twice and HATE the food but are willing to go for her.

Here is what I have blanned :
bbb at MK 10:10
lunch at akershus in Norway 12:15
back to MK for rest of day.

I just checked and there is availability for crt. I would love to avoid bus from mk to epcot back to MK but would do it for dd.

I would like to know if anyone has done both what is the difference in the time each princess spends at each table between the two.

At A they spent lots of time at each table with DD and she got to see Ariel her fav ( I know they rotate)

How many princess' at crt and who are they?

Well, I voted that Akershus has better interaction, but I would not bus over there just for lunch. Go with CRT for the convenience.

I have done both numerous times. At Akershus we have always had wonderful interaction with the Princess. They seem to not be as rushed as at CRT. The princesses have always been great at CRT but they seem to be in more of a hurry to get to all the tables.

The princesses we have had at CRT are Cinderella downstairs who takes a photo for the package, Belle (blue dress), Jasmine, Aurora and Snow White. At Akershus we have had Ariel in her dress with legs, Snow White, Mulan, Jasmine, Alice, Cinderella and have always had Belle at the front who takes the portrait package photo.

I prefer lunch at CRT. My favorite meal at Akershus is breakfast and the only one I will be returning for after having 2 horrible dinners there.

Oh definitely do CRT! I really enjoyed lunch at both CRT & Akershus. And yes, CRT is a little bit more rushed, but honestly, I wouldn't do BBB, then head out to Epcot. It's so neat to be able to stay and eat in the castle. And the castle is more magical. In Sept, DD had a 10:15 BBB apt and a 11:45 CRT lunch. It was the first lunch and it was nice to be seated early. Plus we got to sit by the windows and had the first table that the princesses went to after they were announced. I would do CRT without a doubt! I really enjoyed Akershus too, I even liked the food (mainly cold bar & desserts).

For the money, I think Akershus gives you a bigger bang and much better princess interaction. In my experiences, service is a bit more relaxed and enjoyable at Akershus, too.

Allears has Akershus lunch @ $30.99 (tip not included) and CRT lunch @ $50.96(tip included).

From BBB, you can hop onto the monorail @ the MK and go over to Epcot for lunch.

Happy planning
