Food @ Ariel's Grotto?

[rms123]

The breakfast is definitely better than lunch although after the menu change its really not "good". The lunch we had was inedible and I felt sick and had to get something else afterwards. That was in Sept. The princesses don't interact much. I'd much prefer to save the money and go to the Royal Hall.

My daughter really wants to do the princess breakfast at Ariel's so we were wondering specifically about that food versus the food at the Minnie and Friends Breakfast. Any input would be great.

Also any expectations of the menu changing with it being closed for so long or is the closure more for the restaurant itself?

I think the food was fine. Better than the other character meals (buffet). A lot better than the Wine Country Trattoria. We've been there several times. I prefer the original kids menu. They try to get creative with the meals, but many younger (i.e. picky) kids will find the octopus hotdog and gold fish on mac and cheese weird. The regular pasta choice is a butter sauce I think. They got rid of the marinara (with a meatball "lollipop".) But there are still options. For the adult menu, it's fine but less choices. But really, they gave so much food/courses that went to waste.

But like others said, it's for the princesses. It saves you from lining up at a character meet and greet… which makes it worth it. They stop at each table. Along with the usual crayons, kids also get a paper crown and stickers to decorate. It seems, we always see Cinderella and Belle along with Ariel up front. We've also had Snow White, Tiana and Aurora different times.
