Going into our vacation I was on a kick of trying new restaurants. Akershus is the only restaurant that wasn't new that I allowed us to have a reservation for
I was really excited to go here again because the food was soo good the first time around and the princesses were the best we saw all vacation.Once we were inside we got our picture with Belle but none of us were very happy with it so I won't post it.
The photographer took a picture of us from the ground so the camera is pointed up and that's not a very flattering angle for any of us. The picture came with breakfast so I suppose we can't complain. We really didn't get any good pictures because the pictures my dad took came out weird because of the lighting.Here are a couple pictures of the restaurant
Instead of taking pictures of all of our plates I decided to just take pictures of the buffet and the hot plate they give you. This way you can see all of the food they have to offer whether we ate it or not and since it was a character meal it would have taken a lot of time out to stop everyone before they started in on their plates every time.
The first part of the cold buffet includes apples, bananas, jarlesburg cheese and salami.
My dad really liked the salami and I love that cheese! The cheese with the croissant makes an amazing breakfast! My mom also took one of the apples for later.
The next part you come to includes fruit and different toppings for I assume bagels. The toppings include cream cheese, onions, and capers. There is also pine apple, cantaloupe, honeydew melon and salmon.
I always love the fresh fruit at the buffets so I always eat that up!
This side has grapes, strawberries and cottage cheese.
The pastry side of the bar included muffins, strawberry pastries, cinnamon rolls and croissants.
I loved the strawberry pastries and the croissants. My mom enjoyed the cinnamon rolls.
Once we got back to the table our server brought the hot plate. It includes cheesy potatoes, sausage, bacon and eggs.
The food was good all of us liked the cheesy potatoes but the food wasn't as good as it was in December. My parents really liked the eggs though and I took a bite they weren't bad but I am just not a big fan of scrambled eggs.
Next the characters came around and we had a couple surprises this time! In December we saw Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Mulan.
This time we had Sleeping Beauty
Cinderella
When my mom mentioned seeing her here Cinderella got flustered and just said "Well I am here"
Ariel
My mom was soo excited to see her! Ariel is her favorite princess and she is usually just at lunch and dinner
and last but not least Snow White
Now the Princesses only stopped for a picture then left right away but Ariel was the only one who took her time with us. I think it is nice that they spend so much time with the kids but I believe adults should get at least the same amount of time as everyone else. I mean we are there so obviously we want to see the princesses!
I really like this breakfast and when we went in December we also went to CRT for breakfast and preferred Akershus. The food at CRT isn't great and we felt like we only went in order to eat at the Castle. I would recommend this breakfast unless you also feel the need to eat at the Castle. The food is better, the princess interaction was better and it's cheaper (for DDPers it's also one credit instead of two).

Comments: Our server wasn't great and the food was better in December so maybe we were just there on an off day
it was still good though and we had a good time seeing Epcot and the topiaries while the park was closed. Also we met a nice CM who put us at the front of the Soarin' line so my dad and I ended up second and third in line for the first ride of the day 
) Glad to hear that you enjoyed it, it looks like alot of fun.
It has to be some of the best I've ever had
