Trying to figuer out a way to meet all the little ladies favs this trip and we are eating here late in our trip.

I know Belle is always there, any others ALWAYS there?

No princess is 100% guaranteed to be there, not even Belle. However, Belle is almost always the princess available for the picture. I have seen sporadic reports of other princesses (sometimes Ariel) being available for the picture. However, it's been a couple years since I was paying attention to people's reports from Akershus.

When we went in 2010, it was Belle greeting, and Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, and Snow White visiting the tables. From the reports I read leading up to our August 2010 trip, it seems Ariel became a much more consistent fixture at Akershus after her grotto in the MK closed.

thanks so much that is what i was seeing as well...i will cross my fingers that we are there at a time when she is there....i do so wish we could have seen her with fins...

Ariel has been there on each of the 3 dinners we've done.

If Ariel is that important, make sure you meet her in the MK where I assume she has fins (isn't she in Adventureland now?) When we met Ariel at the grotto (now closed) they also had a photopass photographer which took good shots, then you can add the Ariel autograph caption too.

A couple of years ago, they had some variety which we really liked- you could run across Jasmine, Alice or Mary Poppins. In the last 2 years, we have not had anyone in the dining room other than Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel and Snow White. I don't think it is guaranteed to be that way, but I think it is pretty standardized now.

FYI- Ariel doesn't have her fins at her meet and greet at MK. She does have Eric however!

Maybe once the new Fantasyland and her ride opens, she will get a spot back where she can use her fins again.

Just did the Princess breakfast there (12/3/11). Belle was there for pics. And parading around the room was Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora.

We were there in September and we had Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel and Snow White

We`ve been there 4 times in the last two trips and Ariel was there every time

Ariel was there for lunch in 2009 and breakfast for us in 2010. However no princess is guaranteed as we found out in 2010 when Belle was missing at Akershus in 2010. She called out sick so sleeping beauty was greeting.

poor belle! I hope the beast or at least mrs. potts was taking good care of her that day.
