It looks like you like princesses. I, personally, would drop one of the CRT reservations - I would drop the Celebration package. That's a ton of money to spend on, virtually, the same restaurant experience twice in one trip. If a good fireworks viewing area is important to you, consider keeping CRT breakfast and booking a separate fireworks dessert party - I believe, it's slightly less expensive to book these experiences separately. Are you doing BOG breakfast, lunch or dinner? I agree with PP, you can keep Akershus and, if you decide you don't want to go, you can cancel the reservation up until the night prior to avoid a no-show/cancellation penalty.

Personally I would cancel one of the CRT ADR's. That is a lot of money for the same Princesses in the same location.

Sounds like lots of princesses to me!

It would be too many for my taste, at minimum I would drop one of the CRTs and perhaps also drop Akershus. Many of the princesses that meet in both places are the same. Unless you have little girls with you and their hearts are set on princesses.

Instead of Akershus, I would opt for a different kind of character meal or another unique dining option. At Epcot (assuming that's where you plan to be your last night), you have lots of dining options.

We did not enjoy the food at Akershus last fall when we went. The princess interaction was good but the food was awful. We liked dinner at 1900 Park Fare better or Bon Voyage Breakfast.

The food at Akershus is better than CRT. I think CRT is overpriced with its REGULAR pricing; I can't imagine paying $200 per person for the celebration package.

I second dropping the CRT package and maybe getting a dessert party (I'm still a big believer in the After Fireworks party as you get to see the fireworks first from the Plaza Garden and then you can enjoy dessert, perhaps even watching the kiss good night. You also technically get first dibs on the Garden area as the normal Fireworks viewers are eating dessert first).

If you decide to drop one of the CRT's and still want to visit your fav parks either keep looking for a better Akershus time that works for you (I like to make EPCOT a brunch/lunch day and split up Future World & World Showcase but you can always try for a pre-park open reservation), drop it, or look check out the availability for Trattoria Al Forno's breakfast (I had a late 11:35 reservation that I used to split up my last visit to EPCOT that day).

We absolutely loved Storybook Dining. I think it was the best character meal we've ever done.

Akershus was the absolute worst meal we've ever had. We had to go get Quick Service afterwards because none of us wanted to eat our meals there.

I enjoyed dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table, I thought the food was really good and the atmosphere was obviously outstanding.

We like breakfast at BOG because it is only a quick service credit on the dining plan, you can order ahead, and you can get in before the park opens. We always enjoy our breakfasts there, but it is pricey if you are paying out of pocket.

I do lol we’ve already paid for the celebration package did this as it’s my birthday while I’m there and didn’t think of doing separate I’m doing dinner at BOG and I’m mad about beauty and the beast and heard it’s the only place you will see the beast so just had to do it haha xx

Thinking I could drop crt as we’ve already paid the the celebration package (had to be paid upfront)
What would you recommend or suggest to eat at Epcot? This will be the actual night of my birthday xx

I didn’t really know better at the time and my partner said to book as it’s my birthday trip lol xx

I can’t wait to do the story book May drop the askerus to be fair xx

Yes it is. As a note, 1900 Park Fare dinner overlaps Cinderella but they have other characters from the story (usually Charming, Lady Tremaine, and the Stepsisters). Trattoria usually has Ariel, Eric, Rapunzel, & Flynn.

Okay, I have caught back up with the conversation and I want to chime in once again. I still think I would cancel CRT breakfast. That one is a true expensive overlap. I woudl skip a TS meal that mornign and get counter service somewhere, or try to get The Plaza. That breakfast was a favorite e in my family.

Keep BOG, becuase you love the characters.

Storybook was fun. I mean it was A LOT OF FUN for my family. LOL! DH wore his Grumpy shirt and Snow and the gang had a blast with him, but The Evil Queen was the best. The WIlderness Lodge is a great place to visit so win win.

My family likes 1900 Park Fare in the evening. You do get Cindy and Charming, but it is the Tremaine family that seals the deal. They are hysterical, and are not equal opportunity characters. Your partner is going to have fun with them, and they will wilth him, LOL Be prepared! LOL

I think I would cancel Akershus and book another in the World Showcase or perhaps, if you want more character interaction, Garden Grill. Any meal there is fun, and you do not have Mickey, or the Chipmunks in your character dining roster.
