Disney World: Day 5, part 1- Akershus

Saturday we met up with my mom and dad at around 7am and caught the bus to Epcot for our 8:30am breakfast at Akershus! 

We were so good to get in before the park opened and have such an empty park to walk around in.

We love that. 

I had the girls dressed in a Small World theme with the skirts I had made and shirts with Small World iron ons. 

 

Walking toward the park entrance...

Our first view of Spaceship Earth for this trip. 

Walking to Norway...

After getting the picture of the moon over the castle a few days before, I wanted to get this picture with the moon over the geosphere. 

We were happy that the Christmas tree was out already. 

We got to Akurshus, checked in, and got in line. 

Maddy immediately made a friend as they bonded over their same hairstyle. 

Such a pretty area...

Maddy and her new friend checking out all of the little kids on the apron of Maddy's skirt. 

Akershus....

Upon having our name called we were able to go in and meet Aurora and have our picture taken with her. 

She was so sweet. 

Maddy was staring at her and then asked "Are you real?"

Aurora giggled and said, "Yes. Of course. "

And then she asked Maddy if she would like to touch her hair and hands and face. 

She took a few minutes letting Maddy do that. 

It was so cute. 

She also said, "I've met you before but you've grown taller!" 

The girls were so excited that she remembered them from 4 years before. :)

We were then taken to our table. 

They were doing the princess parade a few minutes later so Maddy joined in. 

Our server was great. She was from Norway and told us about her family and home (as we asked her questions) and how they ate the food. 

Abi, of course, had more strawberries with yogurt. 

So Maddy did too...

I got the brownish cheese (can't remember what it was called) and put the jam on it like our waitress told me to. She said that is how they eat it at home. It was... interesting. Not as bad as I thought but not something I would eat a ton of. 

Breakfast was great as expected. 

The princesses were all a little more rushed than on our last trip but were all very sweet and we had a good time. 

Our adorable waitress brought Maddy a birthday cupcake. 

By the time we were done with breakfast it was around 9:20am. 

We were ready to explore the park!
