Character Dining

I absolutely adore the character dining options at EPCOT! 🌟 My daughter is the ultimate Disney Princess enthusiast, so the chance to dine with them at Akershus is a dream come true for us! Not only is the food truly delicious, but the experience of having the core princesses visit your table is simply magical. And the best part? There's always a surprise princess thrown into the mix, ensuring that each visit is a unique and unforgettable experience! 🏰

Garden Grill, the rotating restaurant in the Land pavilion, is another gem for a character meal! It's one of the rare spots where Chip and Dale make an appearance, and seeing Farmer Mickey adds an extra touch of joy to the meal! 🐭💫 Both dining options offer family-style service, which, personally, I find to be fantastic! While the menu may be more limited, the convenience of not having to wait in line is an absolute game-changer, especially when the food is as scrumptious as it is here! 🍽️✨

Keep in mind character dining takes an average of 90 minutes.
