dab · 09-24-2002

We decided to treat our daughter to a special breakfast for our first full day at Disney and picked the Storybook Breakfast because our dd is a die-hard Jasmine fan! Our PS was 8:30 (1st time slot). We arrived at Epcot's front entrance around 8:00 and had to wait about 15 min. for a CM to guide us to Norway. We stuck close to the CM on the way hoping to be the first in line once we reached the restaurant and it worked. We were the first to check in a the podium!

While we patiently waited outside the restaruant entrance for our names to be called, a Disney CM (in a suit... looked impt.) walked by and started a conversation with my dd. Our dd was polite and friendly, asking him lots of questions... she could carry on a conversation with a wall. He gave her a lanyard pin for being so sweet and told her to have a wonderful breakfast.

The restaurant manager... may have been Chris, can't remember his name, came outside and began talking to my dd. He was great with all the kids waiting but paid special attention to my dd. He asked her if she would like to be the Princess of the Day. He asked her to spell her name and wrote it down on a note pad and put it in his pocket. A few minutes later, he gave her a special princess hat to wear and keep (purple with gold trim and curly ribbon streaming from the top). Two other girls were also chosen and then with the wave of a a magic wand (didn't get to keep) the doors magically opened. The entire staff was lined up in two parallel rows, dressed in their Norwegian costumes and singing a Norwegian welcome song. Everyone clapped and we were escorted to our table along with all of the others waiting.

A few minutes after we were seated, the manager came to our table with a beautiful 8X10, heavy card stock, Magical Moment certificate presented to Princess Abbey, Princess of the Day at Restaurant Akershaus. He said that some princesses like to use it for autographs so that's just what we did. Mary Poppins came out first and our table was the first stop. She was followed by Belle, Snow White, Jasmine and Aurora. All of the princesses spent the customary time with each table and posed for photos and signed autograph books. Our princess got her certificate signed by them all and even got a few lipstick kisses to keep on the certificate too! It is now framed and sitting proudly on her dresser next to her keep-sake hat!

Oh I guess I forgot about the food... there was a two tiered platter with melon & strawberries on bottom and croissants, muffins sweet bread on top. Our server brought us OJ, milk and coffee and then the skillet breakfast. The skillet had bacon, sausage, eggs, potato casserole, and french toast sticks. The food was fresh, hot and tasty!

We didn't rush breakfast but were still done and at Test Track by 9:15. After 4 TT rides in a row with no wait, we were ready for more fun!
