Throwback Thursday

Today's Throwback Thursday comes straight from 2005 at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. This awesome restaurant is in Epcot at the Norway pavilion.

When Eve was little, this was one of our favorites. It is beautiful inside and you get to see a bunch of princesses. Nothing beats a meet and great with the princesses so you don't have to stand in line!!

As you can tell from my pictures it was hot, Eve's hair is a mess from sweat. Going in July means hot, so you need to be prepared. We found it best to beat the heat by wearing a tank top and shorts. I had borrowed a Cinderella dress from a friend that was more of a little shirt with a separate skirt. The benefit of this was she didn't have to walk around with a heavy princess dress on and I didn't have to carry a heavy princess dress. Once we checked in for our meal, I got the little outfit out of the diaper bag and put it right over her clothes. 

They have pretty common breakfast foods, it's the dinner and lunch that's a little different. We prefer the breakfast here, but we are not very adventurous eaters.  

When you check in for your meal they have you sit outside and wait for your announcement. Our announcement came as "announcing Princess Eve." She loved that, even at 2!!

When we went we were ushered to our table and given our instructions. More recently, you get ushered into an entrance where you can meet Belle in her yellow gown and get a photo with her. They didn't have that when we went in 2005, as you can tell in our below pics, we met Belle in her blue dress.

The princesses rotate around the room during the meal so each child gets individual time with each princess. We got lots of pics and the princess make a huge deal out of little things. Cinderella called them twins because Eve was wearing a Cinderella dress. One year Mulan called Xander a "good little soldier," most princesses called him a prince, he loved being called a soldier, it must be more manly to an 8 year old!

These pictures are from July, 2005. Eve was 2.5 years old. She loved every minute of it. This meal was by far worth my money. I would definitely do it again, if she still wanted to see princesses. 

I apologize for the quality of these pics I don't have my scanner available so I had to take a pic of it with my phone.
