Can anybody tell me if Ariel's Grotto is closed between lunch and dinner or if they have service straight through from opening time to last seating?
If they are open straight through, when does lunch finish and dinner start?
Thank-you.

Ariel's Grotto only has one menu and one price $20.99 for adults, $13.99 for kids, same food all day.
It opens at 11:30 AM daily, and serves usually until about 2 hours prior to park closing.
More info and exact hours of operation, along with Priority Seating can be found at (714) 781-DINE.

And children under 3 are free. :) (They will get a small helping of food from the kids menu...by far my favorite feature.) :)
Oh, and for those who are interested...they serve beer & wine.
So, I'm confused...are the princesses there all day? 11:30am-5pm?

The Princesses rotate thru the tables about once an hour, they (usually Ariel and four other "princesses") come out and stop at each table, saying Hi signing autographs and taking photos. A Page comes by first tell folks to be prepared and makes sure the Princesses don't stay too lonng at any one table. Pretty much they take 20 to 30 minutes on stage, then head backstage for a "break", and then start the cycle again. It is designed so that all 5 Princesses are seen once (and only once) per group of guests.
And yes, they serve beer, wine, and if the Cove Bar upstairs is open, cocktails, though they are all an extra charge. The Soft Drinks are included in the Main Price.

we do this every year for my daughter's bday. It is the best! My parents went this year and are still talking about it. She dressed in her Cinderella dress and Cinderella even danced with her. It was great!
FYI- you have a 90 minute time limit. and be prepared to wait for seating! We made 1:50 reservations and I think we were finally seated at 2:30ish. People were complaining left and right! Kids were so restless! The first time we went, I don't remember that wait! Maybe because we had 5 this time and only 3 last time???
Anyways, have fun!
