Disney World’s EPCOT has more restaurants than any of the other parks, so you wouldn’t expect it to be without a character dining option or two.

Ariel at EPCOT’s Akershus
EPCOT has two offerings for character dining:
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
Dine with Disney Royalty at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall! Though you never know exactly which Princesses you will meet, Princess Storybook Dining presents beloved characters such as Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Mulan, Cinderella, and/or Mary Poppins. Bear in mind that the princesses rotate and not all of them will be there on your visit. Also be aware that the offerings here are a bit more exotic than you might expect at some of the other character meals, with a focus on Scandinavian fare as a nod to its home in the Norway pavilion.
Garden Grill
The Garden Grill gives you the chance to see Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale at Chip ‘n Dale’s Harvest Feast while you dine in The Land pavilion in World Nature! (This is actually one of the few places to find Mickey in EPCOT.) The food is all-you-can-eat American food served family-style (with much of the produce harvested directly in The Land pavilion), and can be a great place for youngsters. We have enjoyed this experience for years; it rarely disappoints!
