DFB REVIEW: We Had Dinner with Royalty at Akershus in Epcot!

Hear ye, hear ye! Calling all Lords and Ladies to join us at a royal meal in Epcot!

World Showcase Lagoon

Dining with the characters at Walt Disney World is a rite of passage! And if you’ve got a little princess (or prince!) with you, chances are they would LOVE to eat with their idols. And while Cinderella’s Royal Table is the most coveted character dining reservation in all the land (scratch that, the most coveted reservation in ALL OF DINING), it’s not the only place you can eat with royalty.

The Norway Pavilion

Located in Epcot‘s Norway Pavilion, Akershus is (somewhat) of a hidden gem when it comes to character dining. While reservations are certainly highly recommended, it’s much easier to snag one than Cinderella’s Royal Table. And while this castle is more modest, IT’S STILL A CASTLE. So grab your tiara, and let’s head to Norway!

Review: Sven’s Apple Cheesecake at Kringla Bakeri in Epcot’s Norway

By DFB Sarah 2 Comments

Ever since Epcot’s Kringla Bakeri og Kafe reopened in August 2018, we’ve been keeping an eye on the pastry case to see what old favorites returned and what new treats await. Just a few days ago, we told you that Troll Horns (finally!) made a comeback! And just yesterday we let you know about the Troll Kreme Spiked Slush that’s perfect for fortifying the spirit before jumping in line for Frozen Ever After.

Kringla Bakeri og Kafe

in Epcot’s Norway Pavilion reopened after a lengthy refurbishment late last August.

Kringla Bakeri og Kafe

Among the returning classics to the spot were popular items like School Bread, Berry Cream Puffs, and Sweet Pretzels. As happy as we were to have those beloved snacks back, one question we asked — as did many DFB readers — was, “But where are the Troll Horns?”

For those unfamiliar, Troll Horns are a slightly crunchy sugar-coated pastry horn-shaped shell filled with cloudberry jam and whipped cream. [Read more…]
