Really looking forward to the Mickey Mouse doc and Disenchanted ... but for me it's all about the premier of Willow!

Has anyone done this, I'm wondering if the view is worth it. That's my DH only complaint. He thinks the view "won't be good."

The view from the Garden Plaza is great (fireworks behind castle). This is the $99 package. The view from the Tomorrowland Terrace (fireworks to the right side of castle and side view of castle) is not as good. That's the more expensive $114 option.

Disney World Possibly Preparing For Return of Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT

It looks like Disney World could be preparing for the return of the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at EPCOT. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall has been closed since March 2020 and Cast Members in the area have indicated that one of the major things that Disney was waiting on before bringing the dining option back was the return of the Cultural Representative Program (aka staffing). In August, the first wave of Cultural Representatives returned to World Showcase, reportedly one of the major hurdles of reopening some of the still-closed dining options at EPCOT.

In addition to the return of Cultural Representatives, Disney World has recently made a host of changes to the online menus for Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, including changes to some of the pricing, removing some options, and adding some drinks – possibly preparing for the reopening of the location.
