Got a little behind, but KONAAAA. I've never actually been for dinner but I adored our breakfast there. I'd love to try the teriyaki steak.
Love the Belle dresses on the girls, she's my favorite princess
We did Akershus years ago. It didn't blow us away but it was a great way to meet a lot of princesses! And now you only have a few to go!
We were very happy with Kona - pretty good variety of food and great location! The steak was very good - cooked well and the sauce and pineapple topping was super!
We enjoy Akershsus - probably not the best food on property but we have always found it to be solid at least and have enjoyed it. I have read some not as happy reviews from there, specifically about the food, but we think it is at least above average
Hi Phil! Ha ha! A Stanley reaction! Loved it!
Akershus is a favorite of ours. I love the cheesy potatoes and the Mickey waffles. Wait?? Where's the Mickey waffles? Did they hold out on you?
I completely agree with your observation that Disney knows if you have a little girl under 10 dine with princess meet and greets the parents are under obligation to outfit said little girls in all manner of princess-wear. But the good thing is those princess dresses can also double as a Halloween costume!
Aurora didn't seem to have her dazzling princess smile that day. That super tanned Ariel is distracting me! I'm not sure I'm a fan of the new dress either but I'm more annoyed that she doesn't have her seashell swag in her hair anymore!
On a positive note, you knocked out 5 of the 8 princesses!
Did you use TiW at Akershus? You know I'm tracking your savings so you have to hand over the info buddy!
Hi Brenda
The cheesy potatoes were great - it was very hard not to eat even more than we did. They made no mention of Mickey Waffles and we did not see them on any other tables either .... was that something we could have asked for? Good news is that we got them on more than one occasion at future breakfasts
I am very glad that Olivia is fine with (and wants to really) just wear one of her Disney princess outfits for Halloween - plus her and her friends (and, to be honest, Peter too) use them for dress up all the time so we definitely got our value from them. Just hard to put a price tag on seeing Olivia's face light up when she sees Snow White or Ariel or any of them really.
Thanks for the reminder to add in the TIW savings
Ahhh, there is nothing like a good 'ol Stanley Hudson slow burn.
Hahaha, first line of the trip is always the worst. Too bad it's somewhere you have a reservation.
Hey getting almost all of a party that big in a proper photo pose is a win in my book.
Yeah the whole princess thing... I think Disney does ok.
I guess I'll have to have a chat with Olivia to get her ALL the way over to the Ariel side, lol.
And my Ariel, what a great tan you have!
And you know, Ariel without the hair swag just isn't right. To me it's just looks like a girl going to prom.
Yeah, overall it was a pretty good picture - plus at that point I was just happy Peter wasn't running amok, tripping princesses, etc. - boy needed some food!
Olivia has definitely been in an Ariel mode - getting on "her" ride was her number 1 request (tease for the post - did we get on it?!?!?!? ) and we have watched the movie quite a bit lately. I think Snow White will always hold a special place in her heart but it has been more about Ariel than anyone lately
Yeah, her tan was pretty distracting. I mean, I guess it makes sense if you going to be sunning yourself on a rock wearing a sea shell bikini that you would get tan .... not that I can speak from personal experience
