Food was not good, service was terrible. Way over-price for the food and service, not worth the 2 dining credits.

The good thing here s the fried chicken. People worked behind the food areas seem much nicer than the cashiers and willing to help. They don't have any cup of fruit like other food court for desserts.
Pros:
Food was decent.Cons:
Cashier was unfriendly and very slow. Lack of desserts (no fruit option)Review of Akershus Royal Banquet Hall - Breakfast

Party of 3 had ADR for breakfast. Walkimg through Epcot with little to no crowds early in the morning was fun!
Was able to check-in for ADR then explore the Norway Shop. Upon entering the restaurant my daughter had her picture taken with Belle(part of package price of breakfast-NICE). Then was seated quickly, to a wonderful window seat. There is a big plate of food brought to your table for "family style", eggs, potates, sausage and bacon. Food was hot, fresh and you can get as many of those dishes as the table wants. There is also a decent buffet to chose from with cereal, bagels, pastries, yogurt etc.
Interaction with the princesses was not rushed each princess talked and took pics with my daughter and the adults. Very nice. half way through the breakfast there is a "princess parade", which was cute. My daughter did not participate in that, feeling a bit too mature, but the little princesses and princes were very cute marching around the room. No worries that you might miss a princess, they always come back to the tables.
This breakfast usually gets high marks with my family, we have been to it many times and will do it again next year. Good food and fun with the princesses. Belle(first picture session only), Cinderella, Ariel, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
Beats standing in line to meet them or use a fast pass+. Same amount of interaction time.

I stayed at FQ in 91 the first year it opened. It has aged well. Resort is beautiful. The size is a real highlight. We were in building 7, very far away from food court, but still not bad. I enjoyed my walk every morning to get coffee.
Kids loved the pool, although it is the only thing that is showing that it is close to 25 years old.
You can see why they are not offering discount on this resort, it sells itself for sure. Loved our stay there.
Pros:
Clean, food court options, smallest modCons:

As we all know this restaurant can be very difficult to get into. Once we were able to get reservations it was smooth sailing from there. We were seated in the main hall which was stunning. Our waiter was the nicest we have ever had at any dining experience. The steak was the best on property IMO and the salmon was excellent. The French onion soup was also very good. The grey stuff isn't anything special but it was nice just to have. It is a bit pricey but, you're eating at Disney World, everything is pricey,

My family & I love this resort and have been there 3 times in the last year and just booked again for this June. After telling my 8 year old granddaughter that we would be staying there again this summer she said "that's my favorite". Our ages vary from 59 down to 2 years old so all the space that this resort room offers is very much appreciated. Never been disappointed. Pool is great also. As many other resorts have more choices (pizza, snacks, etc.) at their fast food service counters we know that already so we can't complain. Maybe the next time they remodel this resort they will make those changes.
Pros:
spacious, great rooms, beautiful resortCons:

We recently stayed at Fort Wilderness with my family and it was fantastic. We almost always stay here and it never fails to live up to Disney standards. If you are looking for a great campground with plenty of things to do then don't wait to book. It is without a doubt the nicest campground you will ever stay at. The transportation isn't a big deal to me as I am a very patient person so I didn't mind the bus and boat wait. The hospitality of the staff is also superb and is every bit as good as the main resort staff.
Pros:
Cleanliness, Things To Do,Cons:

We just returned from a NYE trip to WDW. This dinner and one other stood out above the rest. This was my 20th visit to the world and can you believe I had never stepped foot in the restaurant? Without a doubt the view is simply breath taking. To be honest I had to fight back the tears.
That being said - my sister and I have over 20 combined years of service industry experience...so a view is not going to win us over when it comes to the meal!
I've read reviews about service being poor and the food being over priced for what you receive and I simply believe that to be untrue. Service will always be the wild card since you are dealing with personalities, but the food for the price was spot on. I felt the pacing of our meal went perfectly. We had bottles of wine, appetizers, entrees, desserts, and more cocktails (we went all out this trip) and felt as though everything was brought to us at the moment we were ready!
The entire staff was courteous and welcoming. Encouraging us to return for the fireworks later that evening (which we did).
This will now be on the list as a "must do again" at Disney. It was a fantastic experience and I recommend to anyone who is looking for an excellent meal and ambiance.
Pros:
View, pacing of meal, drink selectionsCons:

Family of 6 all adults stayed 11/15/14-11/21/14. Loved it. Usually stay at POP but splurged this time will have a hard time going back to a value.
Room - having coffee watching the animals was neat, spacious , the 3rd bathroom in a 2 bedroom villa was very convenient. Staff was great, room request was granted, room7412, close to lobby and transportation. So can't comment on the looong hallways.
Transportation- Most bus waits were 5 minutes, found bus monitors very accurate, longest wait (one time) was 30 minutes to MK on x-mas party evening. Distance was not bad IMO, we were used to 20 minute rides to MK staying at POP and it was about a 25 minute ride here.
Pool-fun, finally had a pool slide 🙂
Dining-kids did breakfast at Boma and dinner at Sanaa, said food was great, took shuttle and walked to Jambo-Mara a few times, wasn't a bad walk but if it was 90 degrees I don't think I would have cared for the distance.
Would definitely stay again.
