Recommended Reservation Time for Ariel's Grotto?

[PrincessIM]

I'm planning on taking my daughter to Ariel's Grotto. Just wondering if by booking a later time for lunch (2:00), it won't be as busy? Or is it one of those events that no matter what time you go, it will always be busy.

I think it depends on when you're going. It looks like you're going the end of May, right? You should notice it be a bit slower at 2 o'clock as opposed to noon-ish. We generally try to get the later lunch times too and on average it's been busy but not too crowded/hectic. We also like doing the later times b/c it means we only need to really do 1 big meal for the day and just snack later for dinner. So for us it's cheaper.

We're having princess dinner at Ariel's grott but the latest reservation we could get for dinner was 3:50- so much for dinner time! Am hoping it will be OK, as I heard that CA closes at 6:00 on weeknights?
