Norway is now the Princess Storybook dining. It used to be a buffet that was a lot of fun if you cared to try new foods. We've only done breakfast there since the switch and enjoyed it with our DD, but the princesses were the draw, not the food. You might want to re-evaluate that choice.

Yeah, I was going to mention this, too, since you said you really wanted to go back for the Norwegian food -- don't know how it was last time you were there, but it's princesses morning, noon, and night now! The breakfast is family-style American, but lunch and dinner are more traditional Norwegian entrees (baked salmon, venison stew, poached cod, kjottkaker, braised lamb); the dishes still feature a lot of ingredients that give them that Scandinavian flavor - lingonberries, rutabagas, cauliflower, beets, Jarlsberg cheese, venison, cod, lamb, etc. They still have the koldtbord, but it's no longer a full buffet. Check out the most current menus -- they still may have several items you would enjoy

We are only having a few this year - we have gone for -

Le Cellier
Coral Reef
Mickeys Backyard BBQ

 

[MomofCKJ]

I would say dinner at Ohana, dinner at Le Cellier and breakfast at 1900 Park Faire.

Those were 3 of our favorites on our last trip!

Byd: We've had uniformly bad experiences at the eateries in MGM. I'm glad to hear there's a good one we haven't tried yet.

Sandi & Katie: Thanks for the info on the changes to Akershus in Norway. While I have a thing for princesses, it normally involved a candle-lit dinner, not hoards of small children. We'll have to consider this one carefully.

 

[bigbabyblues]

Hmmm.....Crystal Palace breakfast, 50's Prime Time, and Chef Mickey's breakfast. Maybe LeCellier, I really want to eat there, but I won't get to until May, so I can't call that a Must Do yet.

 

[Mouse511]

Le Cellier
Ohana
Cape May Buffet

 

[Blondie]

We're not adventurous diners at all.....

Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch, not character meal)
50's Prime Time
Sci Fi Dine In (for the atmosphere alone)

 

[ktink]

So far only 2 favorites but trying new places this trip.

O'hana
Chef Mickey's

our 3rd favorite from last trip would be Maya Grill @ CSR.

 

[bookgirl2632]

If I could pick only three ADRs, I would choose '50s Primetime Cafe, Le Cellier, and Citricos. PTC is a family tradition, Le Cellier is a brand new favorite, and Citricos is just excellent. It pains me to say we'll not do that one on our next trip since we try to limit the Signature restaurants. We'll be returning to California Grill on the next trip, which is a very close runner-up.
