character meals

Goofy's -- what is the earliest PS you can make for breakfast week after Thanksgiving.

Ariels -- what is the lunch time hours?

We are trying to decide between the 2. Ughhh, more decisions LOL

DD is 3 and loves everyone so it doesn't make it easier to choose.

I think it depends on how you want to alocate your time. You can have breakfast at both. But DCA opens later than DL. Do you want to miss park time eating or eat before the rides open?

Not sure about Ariel's, but Goofy's is always open at 7:00 a.m., so you can usually make a PS for that time, or 7:10 a.m. or something. The food is the freshest at that time! Belle Ella just went to Goofy's last week for a 7:00 a.m. meal, and there were 3 characters there that I have never, ever seen at Goofy's before - Wendy, Gideon and Honest John! Pluto was also there. Snow White was there, I think. Baloo was there. Of course, Goofy was there - and this was all for a 7:00 a.m. meal!! The only problem was that a group of greedy girls was hogging several of the characters and preventing them from making the rounds to other tables, so Belle Ella missed out on photos with a few of them.

IIRC lunch hours at AG start at 11, I don't know when they end tho, you can call Disney Dining and ask. We love AG, we've eaten there so many times I can't even count.....lol
Instead of GK consider Minnie & Friends in DL, we had a ton of characters at our meal there and the food was quite good. We liked it much better then GK.

I think Ariel's has set times for meals, because it is sit down. At least 2 seatings. We got a later one (around 2) because we booked the day before. Of the 2, I prefer Goofy's because of the variety of characters. We had Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Cindy, Aurora, and Minnie. Ariel's had princesses only. Minnie's breakfast was fun but it included Captain Hook who really scared my little one (not directly, she just wouldn't go anywhere near him). We had to hide outside on the patio when he was nearby.

no, they do not have set times at AG, we've walked up and been seated right away and not missed the Princesses. Our walk ups are usually at off times too, we just decide to check and yes there are seats available for us. Of course we've also walked up and been told they are full for the day.
