First day in Epcot. I had heard good things about Akershus despite it being a "character dining" experience. This one in particular had several Disney princesses in attendance and we had our picture taken with Belle. Although we have no children, I think younger kids would get a kick out the experience.
Lunch
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
Epcot Norway Pavilion
I'm not entirely sure what Norwegian decorum is supposed to be. The "banquet hall" was brightly lit and, given the effort they put into everything at Epcot, I have to assume it was authentic. The meal itself is a prix fixe "Taste of Norway" that's $33 no matter how to slice it.
Appetizer
Taste of Norway Starter - Cold Salad Bar
There is a nice self-service vegetable, cheese, and meat cold salad bar to get your meal started. Nothing really stood out for me here, but they had a nice variety of cold cuts, cheeses, breads, regular salad, chicken salad, potato salad, and shrimp with cocktail sauce.
Entree
Meatballs in a lingonberry sauce served with parsley potatoes and some asparagus. I'd compare these to what you could get at Ikea, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Dessert
A trio of offerings finishes off the meal. I personally didn't particularly like any of these desserts. I think they are just not my style of dessert. The chocolate mousse was probably the best of all of them.
