Akershus Royal Banquet Hall At EPCOT Could Soon Re-Open In Walt Disney World

Word on the streets of The Norway Pavilion is that Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT could soon re-open.


Located in the Norway Pavilion, this is where you can join Disney Princesses for Storybook Dining inside a medieval castle with soaring archways and cathedral ceilings, while enjoying unique Norwegian Cuisine.


Akershus Royal Banquet Hall has been closed since March 2020 due to the COVID Pandemic, the restaurant along with others in EPCOT World Showcase have not re-opened as of yet due to the fact that staffing throughout World Showcase at EPCOT had been problematic for Walt Disney World management without Cast Members from the Cultural Representative Program to staff them.


Walt Disney World resumed the Cultural Representative Program in August, and as Cultural Representatives return to World Showcase, we will hopefully see all pavilions return to normal.
