San Angel Inn Restaurante is a table-service dining location. Here, guests dine under a blue-lit twilight sky. This Mexican restaurant is modeled after a 17th-century hacienda at the base of Mayan ruins. Although tables are a bit tight, the feeling of eating outdoors is terrific.

Mexico’s quick service is located on the waterfront adjacent to the Hacienda restaurant. At La Cantina de San Angel, look for tacos, empanadas, and churros. This is a great place to eat in air conditioning or open-air tables. If you time it right, you can watch Harmonious from your table.

The next pavilion you’ll come to after Mexico is the Norway Pavilion. Here, you’ll find princesses, authentic shopping, and more.

Akershus

Guests greet Disney Princesses inside a wonderfully themed medieval castle with soaring archways and cathedral ceilings. Sometimes, this location is seen as the “other” princess meal in contrast to Cinderella’s Royal Table.

However, we enjoyed Akershus more than Cinderella’s Royal Table because the Princess interaction is so wonderful here. See why we love dinner at Akershus HERE and breakfast HERE.
