Akershus Royal Banquet Hall reservation alerts

What you get at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is a Disney Princess character meal set inside a medieval hall in EPCOT's Norway pavilion, themed after Norway's real Akershus Fortress. A rotating cast of princesses visits your table throughout the meal, so you meet several in one sitting without park-hopping.

It runs as a prix-fixe, family-style meal at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a Norwegian-inspired spread. It is the most popular princess character dining outside Cinderella Castle, which is exactly why the tables go fast.

Why Akershus is so hard to book

Princess dining draws constant demand and Akershus has a fixed number of seatings each day. Add school breaks, holidays, and larger family parties, and the popular dates are often gone the moment they release.

When Akershus reservations open and drop

Reservations open 60 days ahead and the best slots vanish within minutes. The good news is that openings keep appearing later, most often as prepayment and penalty windows pass in the days before a date and other guests change plans.

How to catch an Akershus cancellation

Instead of refreshing the Disney app yourself, let Park Drop watch Akershus around the clock. The moment a table matching your date, party size, and mealtime opens, we send an email and text with a link to book it.

Landing how the booking window works this sought-after usually comes down to catching a cancellation first. Set an alert above and we'll watch Akershus around the clock so you don't have to.
