Ariels Grotto for boys?

[jacs1234]

We've got 4 munchkins. 3 boys aged 9 7 and 5 and one girl aged 3.

Do you think boys would like or hate Ariels Grotto. They're not anti-girl or anything but would the experience be worthwhile for them or should we give it a miss?

We were going to go to Bibbidy bobbidy with out 3 year old and have lunch at AG but are re-considering it.

Funny you ask this, I was wondering the same thing for DS3.

One thing about DS though, he does love a pretty girl, so Ariels might be fun for him LOL

Personally I'd choose Goofy's Kitchen or another character meal instead of Ariel's if I had 3 boys, and make a trip to the PFF after BBB.

ETA: But I have 3 girls, so we will be doing AG.

I wouldn't do it, personally, IF it was the only character dining planned. Our last trip, we had to pick one, and even though I have two girls that would have been thrilled to do Ariel's, I didn't think it would be fair to ds. So we did Minnie's and everyone was happy. I think the other poster's advice to do a diff character dining, then BBB and PFF for just dd (while the boys are with dad), sounds like a good compromise.

We took DS 5 and DD4. DS enjoyed it, but I do think he would have liked one of the other character meals better.
DS does like the pretty girls, so trust me he definatly had no complaints about all the hugs he got. The squire did take special attention to him and made sure DS had some prince talk.
You might have a hard time with the 9 y/o.

I was just about to post the same question. We are doing Goofy's breakfast for sure. My 2 girls are doing BBB, & I had planned on all of us having lunch right after, BUT I don't want DS7 to feel out of the loop. On the one hand, we love to eat as a family, & I think he'd enjoy the lunch (he enjoys any meal if dessert is involved), and this may be the last time my DH will get to see his last little princess enjoying the big princesses (and believing they are THE real deal). On the other hand, I could take just the girls while DH & DS go do something for them. I grew up w/ 3 brothers, no sisters, so I am sensitive about not making DS feel as if we are focusing on the girls over him. What to do......

If three boys and a girl I'd choose Goofy's too. Usually there's a princess around as well. We saw Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan during our visits. I think Belle's around sometimes too.

Thanks everyone. we do have Minnie's and Goofy's planned for other days. Maybe just dd, me and grandma should do it.

If you are wavering, I would plan for Ariels to be at the end of your trip. That way if you feel you have seen enogh princesses by then, you can skip it. Or if the boys are willing by then because they have had enough boy stuff, then you all can go, or just the girls etc.

We went, a couple with no kids. Food was good but the princesses were a bit much. It's geared towards the kids who really want to get into it.

We've decided just the girls & I will go, DS7 & DH will go have lunch and take their 1st ride on Indy (they are both huge Indy fans)
