Ariel Grotto Meal Questions

[Catrinabeach]

We are thinking of doing the Ariel Breakfast.

How far in advance can you book it ? How early can you book it ?

I'd like to book it early enough that we don't miss too much park time. We don't go until Sept but I don't know how many days in advance we can book it. Is it 90 days ?

How is the Breakfast ? Is it a good time ?

Which Princesses are usually there ?

Can make Priority Seating arrangements with Disney Dining 60 days out.

From what I've been told they have seatings started around 1/2 hour before DCA opens. We have a 9:40am PS for May 26, and DCA opens at 10. Because of that timing we won't have time to go play in DL before, because they mentioned getting to the DCA gates about 20 minutes before the PS. If we wanted to maximize our morning we should have made the PS for later, gone to DL for awhile, then over to b'fast, but what can I say? We love DCA.

A variety of princesses, I've heard it's always or usually five of them.

You didn't ask this, but from what I've learned it's served family style, where a platter is served to your table; not a buffet but not a plate to each person. And they have danishes and things like that on your table already. Seems interesting! We won't be eating everything as we are veggie, but I'm sure what we do eat will be fine. And hey, it was my about-to-be-4 son's request for his b'day, so it'll be worth it.

Molly, totally OT but I am going to miss you by a week, and I'm really bummed about that! DS's 3rd birthday is 6/3 and we're actually bringing Daddy this time!

But waaaait...when are you going to be at SeaWorld?

 

[bumbershoot]

Oh bummer!

We are going to seaworld before DL...probably the day BEFORE the Sesame Place thing opens (eek!). We get in thurs night, then have fri and sat, then drive to anaheim on sunday...so either fri or sat for seaworld. Oh and we got those "buy 1 day get 2008 free" passes, and I think sunday is blocked for us...probably Friday is when we'll go. Probably. Come on out!

 

[Monkey Monkey]

I may be able to do Friday afternoon. We're moving on 5/20 and are having the old house cleaned and whatnot on Fri. morning, but Mason and I could probably get away later.

As it gets closer I will let you know!!!

Just be SURE you get breakfast. We booked for BREAKFAST and was told 11:30, then I had to call to make a change, and was told, "oh no, 11:30 is LUNCH" argh

 

[Catrinabeach]

Does anyone know when it switches from Breakfast to lunch ?

We won't be eating everything as we are veggie, but I'm sure what we do eat will be fine.

They used to have veggie options...I called a while back to get PS, and they told me that they did have veggie sausages and maybe veggie bacon and a couple of different things. I'm not sure if they still do it, but it would be worth checking into.

I'd heard that! I think when it gets closer I'm going to call to note on our PS that veggie options would be nice, and when we check in I'll mention it again.


nunzia, that's wild! Glad you found out ahead of time. The PS people aren't right there, and they just don't know so much; I wish we made reservations with people working AT the restaurants. We had two issues with Storyteller's, when making the last b'fast PS. At the last morning seating they still serve breakfast, but they only serve from the buffet (and I had been planning on something from the menu), and Chip and Dale (the hosts!) had been gone for almost an hour, b/c that is what their schedule ALWAYS is (they said). The hostess told us both of these things as we checked in, which was nice, but it would have been better to know when making the PSs. But they just don't know.

We're going for breakfast next Saturday. We have PS's at 10:00. I'll take tons of pictures of the food and everything so you can see what to expect. I haven't been there for breakfast before, so I'm not too sure either..

SO! I'm going to subby to this thread and come back and post the pictures..
