Akershus Storybook Princess Dinner (or whatever it's called)
We went here especially to celebrate DD's 4th Bday and I am really glad we did. DH loved everything he ate and he just ate and ate and ate (DH is tall and thin but can pack it away like no one else...it's not fair:pout:). DS12, who is a very adventurous eater (his favorite is Ethiopian food!), also enjoyed his meal although he does not care for fish. I tried several things on the buffet table and I didn't love anything. DH and I both had the Traditional but I ended up trading mine with DS14 who did not care for his venison. I didn't care for it either nor did DS9, who loves meat. As you can imagine DD4 did not eat very much but gazed lovingly on the princesses who were Aurora, Ariel, Cinderella and Pocahontas.
Belle was in the photo room. We skipped the photo line because it was so long but went back after dinner and they were very happy to oblige. We did not have the photographer take a photo but just used our own cameras. DS14 really seemed to be into the princesses :secret:, getting all of their autographs and taking pics with them. It was really cute but don't tell him I told you so....
As far as the food at Akershus - Nah. But it was a great opportunity to meet the princesses without standing in line. The biggest disappointment was that Jasmine was not there. DD dressed up like her and everything. However, I think she may have switched loyalty to Pocahontas. DH has some strong Cherokee roots in him so we call DD our little Indian princess. She and Pocahontas bonded.;)
