We went to Ariel's Grotto a couple of years ago and were very underwhelmed. The princess were only at the table for the time it took to sign an autograph book and take a picture and didn't really make any effort to interact with my girls. The time we went before that was fantastic. How has it been lately? Is the food any good because I know they changed the way they do it now as well.

Thanks!
 
I haven't been in about 9 months, but I always thought the food was a step above the other character meals, and I thought the princesses gave the same amount of interaction as any of the other characters do at the other meals. I'm not sure when there was a food change, but last summer it was the same as it had been for a few years.
 
We went April 2015 and we had a great experience. They characters didnt stay for long at each table, but i didnt expect them to. They did take the time to hug both my girls and ask their names. The food was not AMAZING, but it was good and I felt worth the money. Service was excellent and my family had a great time.
 

We went for the first time three weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was pretty decent, dessert was amazing, and the princesses were very personable in their brief visits.
 
Any feedback for the WOC dinner menu?
 
We were there this Wednesday (4/27) for our daughter's 3rd birthday. We also went exactly one year earlier, on her second birthday. While the time of day and seating area were different (11:00, inside in 2015 and 4:30, outside this year), I'd say they were very comparable experiences. The food is fine, not amazing but tasty enough. The princesses varied both years, with some being very chatty and involved and others, not so much. It helps when you have props- Golden books for them to sign, their Palace Pets to discuss - because then there's more conversation.

It's worth it to us as a birthday celebration for our princess lover, but it's not something I would say is a "'must-do" if you can go to Fantasy Faire, you know?
