Aeriel's Grotto?

[lulu2]

Can someone please tell me where Aeriel's Grotto is located? Do they serve breakfast? I've been reading conflicting reports, please advise!

Thanks,
Lulu

Ariel's is located in DCA, just over the bridge leading to the Pier area. They are currently offering breakfast, you just need to call Disney Dining to find out the times they are offering it on the days you are visiting.

Thanks much! Have you been? If so, tell me about your experience?

I think what they serve really depends on the hours of the park. We went to dinner there in Sept 06. Then in Sept 07, I went to make dinner reservations again and was told they would only be doing lunch due to park hours. So the breakfast is new to me. No matter...it's a wonderful place to meet all the princesses. My 3.5 yo DD loves it there so we have to go every trip to DL! I don't mind because it's fun and they have good food.

I took my dd(6) for her birthday in February. We had a 9:45 PS ressie for breakfast, and DCA opens it's gates at 9:30 with Soarin as the only attraction open for the first half-hour until official park opening at 10 am. We were directed to walk around the Condor Flats/Redwood Creek path to the Pier where we checked in. We got little pagers and they buzzed us when it was our turn to walk down the staircase to greet Ariel (with legs) and have photos taken by a CM (which they will try to sell you later for BIG bucks). Then we were seated at a small table. They brang out drinks and then first course was a three tiered platter including breakfast breads, cheeses/salami, and fruit. Second course was eggs, sausage, bacon and potatoes. The announced the princesses one at a time about 10 minutes apart so that they can make their tour around the room. We saw Cinderella, Aurora, Belle and Snow White. I'm not a huge fan of character meals to begin with, but we felt this was a great way to meet the princesses without having to wait at the PFFT for a huge amt of time.

Hope that helps.
