This year, we’ve seen a number of restaurants and experiences returning to Walt Disney World, such as these EPCOT tours. And it’s time to add another Disney favorite to the list. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is reopening!

We’re going to go over everything you need to know, from what the Akershus restaurant is like, to the opening date, to what you can expect from the current menu!

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is located near the popular Frozen Ever After ride in the Norway Pavilion of the World Showcase. It’s a beautiful restaurant designed to look like a medieval castle. (Actually, it’s even a bit fancier than the real Akershus Castle in Oslo, Norway.)

In addition to the decor and the Norwegian themed food (more about that later), a big draw of the restaurant is the characters! You see, this dining experience has princesses. Which princesses, you might ask? Check out this Akershus dining review to see which Disney characters are included!

When will Akershus Royal Banquet Hall reopen?

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is reopening on November 4, 2022. Dining reservations are highly recommended. You can make reservations through the Walt Disney World website or with the My Disney Experience app.

For dessert, your table will receive a platter of 2 Norwegian-inspired desserts, served family style.
