AKERSHUS 2 credit?!?
On official WDW site it’s only one, i checked right now (15/01) ;___;
For a family of 4 your looking at $200+. Please, I’m begging someone, anyone, to try to justify this expense to me . Come in, give it your best shot.
Because I like going. I often spend that much for dinner out for just my wife and me and that’s with no Disney characters, LOL.
try a disney springs hotel

Memories are PRICELESS! You cannot put a price on the joy & fun a child has when they see their favorite character for the 1st time. Everyone knows everything Disney is expensive but everyone also knows this going in. You plan for your trip long before it arrives & if this is a top priority for your children, you plan accordingly! If you purchase the dining plan, these meals are included & you use your credits wisely!
You are a negative Nancy on every single comment that you have posted on this website! Didn’t your Mother ever tell you, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all”??
The cost is outrageous for a “normal” family. I agree that memories are priceless but you should be able to interact with characters without having to pay for it or wait in long lines.
Isn’t there also character finding at the four seasons or swan and dolphin? At least on weekends? Or is that no longer. Also hasn’t fancy Nancy replaces Sophia?
