Ariels Grotto

[ArielAdventurer]

is this a good place to eat for picky eaters?


That was one of my concerns as well..My daughter loved the chicken nuggets....but....that is about the only meat she will eat..She gets a lot of her veggies from V-8 Fushion..so..the draw for her now... will probably be strictly the princesses..

My daughter likes the meal there, always a toss up for her whether to get chicken or tri-tip, here's the kid's menu:

Each entree is just part of the Celebration!
Your meal begins with an antipasti tower, salad greens, and rolls.
After your entree, enjoy treats from a bountiful dessert platter.

Glazed Chicken on Sugar-Cane-Skewer
Cuts of tender chicken, grilled and glazed atop a bed of rice.
Served with fresh fruit

Kid-Cut Tri-Tip
Tri-tip strips, cooked hot and tender,
with white-Cheddar mashed potatoes.
Served with seasonal vegetables

Seashell Pasta
Pasta shells lightly tossed in a velvety cheese sauce,
then sprinkled with Cheddar-fish crackers.
Served with fresh fruit

Meatball Lollipops
Hearty ground turkey nestled atop spaghetti and house Marinara sauce.
Served with fresh fruit

We just got back from DL. We loved Ariels Grotto. The food was awesome. The best we had in all of DL/DCA. There were 9 of us and 2 pickey eaters and everyone loved it!! The waitress even brought more goldfish for my litte niece. The atmosphere is awesome. We met 4 princess plus Ariel. Snow white even sat down with my kids and drew a picture on their autograph book. THis is one that is not to be missed!!!!! We will be back in December!!

DD12 really enjoyed the tri tip, she finished every bite. DD9 had the mac n cheese, another hit for our family. And yes, they are both picky and they were both very satisfied.

 

[ArielAdventurer]

I think my daugher will like the shells..I know I would love the tri tip...Do they have that for adults?

 

[JadeDarkstar]

you know we tried there lunch last year, i liked the tri tip this time were doing breakfast.
my son didnt like the mac

 

[pixiewings71]

It's different mac n cheese now Jade, it's much better. The cheese sauce is much smoother, you can also order the mac n cheese without the cheese. At least they told us we could when DD9 was hesitating to order it.

yes, there is tri tip for the adults, I almost got it but got the pasta instead...soooooooooo glad I did!!! altho I had a bite of DD12s steak and it was very very good!

maybe next time lol we got breakfast planed hehe we haven't had it there yet.
pluse story tellers *drolls the over steak*

 

[Mommy2PrincessAbby]

Last time I had the Agnolotti... beware--it is VERY rich. Leaning towards the tri-tip this time... I pretty much just want the potatoes though!! yummy.

 

[ArielAdventurer]

I used to always get the fish and chips..but..the tri tip does sound good..although ...I wonder why they don't give the option of Santa Maria beans..to go with it.. which is the way I am used to having it..

 

[cruise cruise cruise]

Last week, I has the fish, DH tri tip and kids both had chicken skewer. We all LOVED our meals.
We also were given a to-go box for our leftover desserts (DH asked for one, we were not offered it)
The princesses were amazing and even the royal court anouncer guy spent time with DS since he kept informing/showing everyone that he had used his stickers (picking out the "boy" ones) to cover the "Girl" things on this button and crown. And BTW, dont let DS fool you, he had a great time and loved the attention he got from the "pretty girls"

How old is he? I was thinking we were going to have to split up and my friend take her son to some of the rides..while I took both her daughter and mine to AG for lunch...because he is 9 and thinks he is too old for princesses
