Anyone know about how long to allow for lunch at Ariel's grotto?

We recently had lunch there. Our reservation was for 11:30. We got there and had to wait for a few minutes, along with several others since I think that may be about when they open. We got down to where Ariel is and had pictures taken with her by 11:45 or so, that's a best guess since I know we waited some, but not too too long. We got shown to our table on the patio and ordered pretty quick and the other four princesses came by pretty quick. Rapunzel, then Cinderella, Belle, and Tiana. Food came pretty quick also, so I think I can safety say we were out of there by 1:15 or so. We would have had salad and entree, but I doubt we would have had dessert.

Obviously, it will matter on how busy the place is and how quick the princesses make the rounds. Interaction was appropriate at all tables from what I saw and we experienced. By that I mean, not rushed, but they didn't dawdle.

I'm pretty sure it took us about 60 minutes to eat and see all the princesses. But we did have to wait a good 30 minutes before we sat down with waiting to be called and getting our picture with Ariel.

I would say we were in and out in about 90 minutes. They were a little bit late seating us but once we got our table the food came fairly quickly. The princesses were wonderful with my daughter!!

How much is lunch on a weekend?

Rapunzel was there? She is my daughter's favorite! We are going next month and I was reading most commonly it is Ariel, Snow White, Cinderella, Belle and Aurora.

They are pretty quick with service I'd say.
We did the fixed menu and each course came out pretty quick, and then princesses paid equal attention to all tables and still spent a few minutes with each group and weren't too quick to move on to the next.
The four at our lunch were Snow, Cindy, Rapunzel and Belle.

Those of you who had Rapunzel there, did she have her blond braided hair or the short dark hair? Just out of curiosity.

I've only ever seen Rapunzel with her long braided hair - but I've never seen her at a character meal.

Me too. I just wasn't sure if it would be the same for a character meal.

Her usual long braided hair.

We were there 2 weeks ago and had: Rapunzel (long braid), Tiana, Cinderella, and Belle.

It seemed fairly quick, just over an hour I would say.
