Okay...I booked this...and now I'm having some issues with it. Please help!!

#1- Disney's pdf ddp brochure shows it as a participating restaurant, single credit, but it is not listed as a ddp restaurant on Allears. Is this a ddp participating restaurant??? And is it just one credit??

#2- Are your pictures included with your meal?

[coastgirl]

The pdf would be correct, I'm sure, and the allears thing is likely an oversight. No reason for it not to be on the DDP, and it's certainly not signature.

It's been a few years but when we went, the photo wasn't included.

[SARH7]

This is what it says:

Merchandise or photo imaging products that may be offered at Character Dining experiences are not included, except at Cinderella’s Royal Table and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall.

So this makes me think the pics are included.....I wonder of it is not for ddp diners.

[coastgirl]

Mm, I find the phrasing misleading..."may be offered" isn't the same as included. Don't know for sure, though. (We weren't on DDP when we went, were offered the pics and declined. Ariel in her ballgown--didn't measure up to the Ariel in the grotto we had met earlier. Ariel in the grotto was amazing!)

We at Akershus in September 2008 and it was on DDP and was 1 TS. Also, the pics are included and they are quite nice. I think it was 1=8 x10, 2=5x7 and some 4x6 (can't remember if it was four 4x6). Anyways, a good deal for 1 TS.

We loved our dinner here! No worries regarding this ADR - I think you'll really enjoy yourselves!

Wow..that is really great for 1 credit!! I was excited before, but now I really am! How cool that the pics are included! Thanks for sharing!!

We were there in June. Great meal. I thought it was a buffet, not sure why. lol. The appetizers are on the buffet, you get to eat them even with the basic dining plan. Then you order your entree, and the dessert is served family style.

The photos are included. I have a beauitful pic with Belle and my daughters! Def worth it!

I think it is listed as a buffet in many descriptions. It is a cold buffet for appetizers and then menu items for the entree.

We found the food to be very good. I had some kind of vegetarian pasta (ravioli?) and it was SO GOOD! The sauce was wonderful - it was one of our favorite meals.

I'm really looking forward to it now!!

We went in May and it was 1 credit on the DDP and the photo package was included.

If you haven't already printed up the most current list of all restaurants on DDP you can do it online. It is on the list and only one table service. It also says pics are included. I've never eaten here, sounds fun. Have a great time.

How nice that the pics are included. When we were on the DDP and went to PSB in fall 2007 we had to pay extra for our pics.

We went last August and it was on the dining plan and the picture was included in the price- which was neat since we had free dining. The picture was with Belle and you get several of them.

Yep...We were there Sept.'08 and 1 credit with meal and pictures. We were a party of 5 and got 2 photo packages!! We also enjoyed this meal more than CRT. The princesses were great!!

Everyone is correct - it's on the DDP as one credit and the photo is included here.

A portion is a buffet - mostly salads, fish, deli meats, etc but you can order off the menu if you want something hot. And the desserts are family style.

I myself was nervous about the food here but it was very good. I had a pulled pork, Abby had grilled chicken and Lenny had a salmon sandwich so despite the Norweigan names of the food on the Allears menu, IMO the food wasn't strange, just the names were.
