Ariel's Grotto Dinner Times?

[back2disney]

Anyone know of dinner times after CA closes. The CM gave me some times in general for a Monday and except for the one Monday I'm there the dinner would be a couple hours after the park has closed? Maybe she was being specific for that day???

Reviving this thread for a similar question...

I'm making PS ressies tomorrow morning for dinner at Ariel's Grotto in December, and ideally, I'd like to eat at 6:00pm, which is when DCA closes that day. That way, we can use all of our afternoon park time for DCA attractions.

Has anyone done this (eating at Ariel's right as the park closes)? Is this even possible, or will the last seating at Ariel's be more like 5:00pm if the park closes at 6:00pm? I guess I'll find this out when I call, but I'm looking for first-hand experience.

Lastly, how long should we expect dinner to take? An hour?

When DCA closes at 6pm I believe that last reservation they take is like 4:20 or 4:30 something like that. When they close at 8, I beleive it's 6:30.

I have Ariel's ressies for a nite that DCA closes at 6... the last ressies for the day were at 4:20... I wasn told they always do 1 hour and 40 minutes beofre closing, give you 1.5 hours to eat and 10 minutes to get out of the park...

DCA closes at 5pm or 6pm during our upcoming trip. When I tried to make reservations on an evening at a 6pm closing, even VP was told that the last reservation for the day was at 4:45pm - obviously a no for us - so we opted for the lunch that day.

Thanks. I got the 4:20pm ressie on 12/12, which is the last ressie of the day, since the park closes at 6:00pm. That's earlier than I would have liked to eat dinner, so we may decide to do lunch there instead, but I do like the idea of being the last group, and having an unhurried hour-and-a-half there.
