food IS a theme park
Hear ye, hear ye — it’s time to dine like straight-up ROYALTY in Disney World.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
No, we’re not talking about Cinderella’s Royal Table or Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom. Instead, we’re heading over to EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion to check out a newly reopened Akershus Royal Banquet Hall! Get ready to see everything this Princess Storybook Dining meal has to offer because we’re bringing you our FULL review!
We’ve seen Disney World reopen a LOT of different locations and experiences over the past several months, but some things still remain closed.
Norway Pavilion in EPCOT
We’ve seen character meet and greets and meals return, buffets come back, and experiences reopen, like Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. But, some major restaurants have remained closed, especially in EPCOT. We hadn’t heard a word about these dining spots until recently, when it was announced that Monsieur Paul would be reopening! And now, ANOTHER popular restaurant in EPCOT will be reopening SOON!
We have learned a lot about EPCOT‘s new Connections Café and Eatery recently!
Sign’s up!
We now know that the new restaurant will open this spring, and the café will be a Starbucks location as well. Earlier this week, we got a new EPCOT park map that lists Connections Café and Eatery under the dining section. Today we’re learning more about the special nods to Disney’s history that you’ll see inside once this spot opens!
Stop, wherever you are. Yes, YOU! Stop walking about or watching your TV and just imagine with us for a moment.
YES.
You’re sitting in a large, indoor space and can hear the fires crackling in nearby pizza ovens and staff talking and walking about. In front of you is a giant plate of cheeses and salty meats. Then your main course comes in — you hear the crunchy crust as you take a bite, smell that melted cheese, and taste that amazing truffle. It’s just a dream for now. But it can be your reality if you go to one special spot and we’re about to let you in on the secret.
We’re just a few days away from two new restaurant openings at EPCOT!
EPCOT is getting two new restaurants!
Space 220 opens up on September 20th and La Crêperie de Paris joins the France Pavilion on October 1st. We already got a look at the new crêperie during previews for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, but we’re incredibly excited to eat in “space” next week. Today, we got a fresh look inside the restaurant as some of the first guests got the chance to dine!
The list of reopened restaurants continues to grow longer!
EPCOT
Buffets have officially returned when Boma reopened at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, popular quick-service locations like Casey’s Corner have reopened, and fan-favorites like ‘Ohana are back. Now, we have a reopening date for another EPCOT restaurant!
EPCOT’s been undergoing some MAJOR construction lately, but there’s one project that we’re still waiting on.

Yup, remember Space 220? Disney announced a WHILE ago that this restaurant would pop up near Mission: SPACE, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting those internationally-inspired eats. There have been quite a few delays, but we’ve got a sign that this spot may FINALLY be opening…
It seems like Disney is looking to hire more people across the board today!

This morning we saw listings for jobs at Disney World’s upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, and later we found that Disney Cruise Line is hiring for several positions. Now, we’ve got news from a restaurant we haven’t heard from in quite a while… .
Sometimes you gotta go where everybody knows your name! Whoops, that’s Cheers, isn’t it?
Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room
You know that feeling of walking into your neighborhood bar and everyone knows you? The Cheers reference holds true of this spot too. That’s basically the feeling you get when walking into Rose and Crown. We like the food just fine but we love the feeling we get when we enter the pub doors at this EPCOT restaurant. Step inside for a pint and see what the restaurant is like since our last visit!
