Disney has removed any mention of breakfast from the "Taste of Norway" section.

Breakfast may include such selections as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potato casserole, cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit."
Now it just mentions lunch and dinner -
"Enjoy Norwegian-inspired fare for lunch and dinner.
Delight in family-style platters fit for royalty! Highlights include field greens salad with lingonberry vinaigrette, traditional kjØttkake (Norwegian meatballs) and grilled salmon."

Akershus doesn't appear to be opening with breakfast. Helps alleviates some of the staffing challenges out of the gate.
Two pre-pandemic breakfast locations from Epcot (Garden Grill and Akershus) have still no signs of serving breakfast, yet.

Who needs breakfast anyway?
If we are triaging staffing, I suppose it makes sense to prioritize lunch and dinner, which will have the same menu at $63 a head. Menu looks good though! We may go. Kids turn 10 in January so we might as well take advantage of the kid rate one last time.

That seems like one shift. I presume they will extend as they get more cultural reps. Honestly, the fact that the cultural reps make this opening possible is the reason I want to eat here. I haven’t had a meal at Epcot with cultural reps since they returned and this is basically guaranteed to have them instead of the local CMs we’ve had at World Showcase restaurants since 2020.

Wonder how much the GF lobby refurb would dictate 1900 reopening. DH was asking about general breakfast options, which seems to be a bit lacking TS wise. But that's usually been the case hasn't it?

I also think it fits into the Akershus challenge: too many princesses and shifts to run it like they did pre-pandemic.
Ramping up operations and starting with one princess/character mix has more of starting potential.

Pre-pandemic, 1900 Park Fare only had one Princess- Cinderella at dinner.
Breakfast was Mary Poppins, Alice, the Mad Hatter, Pooh, and Tigger.
Dinner was Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella.
I mean most those characters have the same problem as Princesses. I don’t think it’s Princesses specifically that have a shortage more face characters in general.

It’s overall a character staffing shortage all the way around.

Regarding character meals, still missing the experiences from pre-Covid:
I think Bon Voyage has to be next, unless they are waiting for the Boardwalk construction to be complete.
- CRT princesses (returning 2/28)
- Akershus breakfast and lunch.
- Garden Grill breakfast
- Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast (at Trattoria al Forno)
- 1900 Park Fare (breakfast and dinner)
I think Bon Voyage has to be next, unless they are waiting for the Boardwalk construction to be complete.

I mean, a meal like this would make too much sense. Right, Jeff Vahle?Wait till you see the price of “Adventure Friends” breakfast featuring Mirabel, Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, Miguel and Raya!
