Great couple of reports. The Spirit of aloha food looks a lot like the 'Ohana menu.

Excellent report! We love Olivia's. Hoping for OKW next year so will definitely visit. We were also really impressed with Narcoossee's last year so it's on the list for next year. I've been tempted by deluxe DDP in the past but just don't think I could justify the cost as we wouldn't eat three courses. I love the idea of being able to do only TS though.

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Breakfast at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is character dining with the Princesses. I've read that they have a rotation and you may meet Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Mulan, and Mary Poppins.

When it comes to the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan at a buffet restaurant, you are entitled to one full buffet and one non-alcoholic beverage (usually refillable) for one credit per person.

Service is part buffet, part brought to the table. The buffet included fruit, yoghurt, nuts, granola and baked goods - bagels, Danish pastries, croissants, as well as a selection of Norwegian breakfast items like smoked salmon, herring and various cheeses. The cooked breakfast - eggs, bacon etc, was brought to the table on a platter.
















Compared with other buffet breakfasts, this is not a huge one, which isn't a bad thing at all! It was nice to have some different foods as well - the Norwegian selection was fab, and hubby really enjoyed that. By now, we were well and truly sick of breakfasts, so when our platter of cooked food came we really were not in the mood for more bacon!

When we do a Disney Dining Plan again, I certainly will not book so many breakfasts - they become quite boring! In fact, we ended up cancelling some of the later ones because of the monotony of them!

Our server was lovely and had a lot of time for us, which was nice - she was really interested in the fact that we were from the UK, and she herself was from Norway, but now living in the USA. So that too was an interesting thing for us to chat about - especially at the end of the service.

During breakfast, the Princesses walked around table to table for autographs and photos. We met Cinderella, Snow White, Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty for the uninitiated!) and Ariel. Of all the Princesses, Aurora and Ariel were the friendliest. Ariel asked Liam if he had a Princess back at home, and when he said "no", she replied, well, I've got several sisters, just FYI. I thought that was hilarious!
For the young prince and princesses (many kids were dressed up) there was a parade - make sure you grab your breakfast before this starts as it goes in and around the buffet area!










I've not yet written about Cinderella's Royal Table which is in a few days yet in trip report time, but we preferred the breakfast and the overall ambience of Akershus over CRT (plus it's just 1 credit per person here!)

I can safely say we made the very most out of the deluxe dining plan!

Goodness me only just spotted the price of character breakfasts. Now I have no problem spending money on holiday that I normally wouldn't consider at home, but with out the dining plan there would be no way I'd consider over $50 inc tip for breakfast.

That's why we all love free DDP so much .

I think it all depends on the person - we've quite happily paid out for character meals on previous holidays, but with the dining plan this time around we did a lot more!
