What time does Ariel's Grotto open?

[disneybliss2]

Has anyone been to MK lately and knows what time Ariel's Grotto meet-n-greet opens? Last time we went it was 10:00--an hour after park opening. On a web site I found it opens at 9:00--same as the rest of the park. I would tend to think it would be 10:00 though. I'm trying to make plans for when we leave in a week. YEAH!!!! I posted this on another forum (sorry to double post), and I only got one response which still leaves me in the middle of not knowing what time to plan for. If someone can help, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

When we went, I was told just to watch for a CM around there. They seem to be doing an "unofficial" opening soon after MK opens. We were there over Easter and noticed the CM and there was NO ONE in line. My DN had lots of alone time with Ariel as this is her favorite princess. Made for some precious pics!

I think it "officially" opens one hour after park open but it pays to get there early - it opened early when we were there so the line was very short. Otherwise, that line is usually at least an hour long.

When we were there in February it was open at 9 am...we were excited because we had planned to head back to Fantasyland at 10..lol
