My husband and I take our daughter to Akershus every year. We either go for early morning breakfast or mid-afternoon lunch (2/3/4 o'clock). We have always been for normal supper time, but not as many times. At all of these times, the experience has been consistent. We have never felt rushed, and they always time it so that you see every princess during your meal, no matter the time. The princesses are always great and spend a lot of time visiting with our girl, and the food is consistently delicious. They also time the "parade" around the room such that you will always get a chance to do it during your reservation no matter the time, so if you have little kids they will get to do that still.
