What time does Ariel's Grotto open at the Magic Kingdom??

We missed Ariel last time because the wait was so long to see her.
Does Ariel's grotto open at the same time as Fantasyland???
Anybody know when the best time to meet Ariel would be??????
Thanks for your tips!

When we were there in November, it opened at 10 am. We were there at 9:55 and got to see Ariel with no wait. She spent about 10 minutes with us since there was no one else in line at that time.

Thanks egoldber.

We went in November 2005 too, but we went to the grotto later that night and the wait was way too long.
We will try to get there before opening!
Thanks again for the tip!!!

Check Steve Soares site before you leave or the times guide when you arrive. When I was there in Sept, it opened at like 9:30, so we went straight there. There were already 3 families ahead of us and Ariel had a hard time doing her hair that morning, so by the time she arrived, there was a long line behind us.
