Ariel's Grotto & Frozen Live

[Mrs CP]

I am wondering how much time I can expect to spend at Ariel's Grotto? We are doing this and BBB at the end of January. I was also hoping to go from Ariel's over to Frozen at the Hyperion. Please tell me if my current plan will allow for that.

- BBB 10:30am crown package and knight package
- Meet aurora at the wishing well (if she is there, this will be the day to meet her, as she is my daughter's favourite and who she will be dressed as after BBB.)
- Grab Frozen fast passes
- Lunch at Ariel's Grotto 1:10pm
- Frozen Live at the Hyperion 3:30pm show

Is that allowing enough time in between, lunch and the show or should I be doing a 12:40 or 1pm booking at Ariel's? But will that leave us enough time to meet Aurora before leaving Disneyland?
Thank you!!

When we were at Ariel's Grotto in September for lunch, we were done with our meal and had met all the princesses in 90 minutes. That should give you enough time to get to Frozen presuming you get the FP time you want.

They may have brought the FP back, but when we were there for Thanksgiving, they weren't doing the FP for Frozen. It was a mess to get in the show, and I've emailed Disney about our experience, so I hope the FP returns. That said, they told us to line up 60 mins before the show (and when we went the 3:30 was completely full by 2:50). That was a busy week though so maybe a different week won't be so bad.

Also, Aroura doesn't meet for very long in each session, so make sure you are checking the times guide on the app carefully to time it right.

What is the end of January, the Frozen show gets impacted by the very large NAMM Convention January 21st through the 24th. A major sponsor rents out the Hyperion to host a concert on Saturday night, so the Frozen schedule is adjusted with some dark days to allow the set up and take down of the sets and equipment needed. So you need to pay attention to the daily schedule when it finally comes out in a few weeks.

We are there Jan. 29 - Feb.3. I will definitely check the schedule once it comes out. I did notice that Aurora's times are only scheduled for about 5 minutes at a time. I will have to just wait till closer I guess. I'm told that the time of year I'm going is much quieter, so hopefully I have allowed enough time in between for us.
Thank you!!
