Please Note: Ariel’s Grotto closed in early 2018 to make way for new dining experiences when Paradise Pier was transformed into Pixar Pier. Pixar Pier opened in June 2018 and now guests can dine at Lamplight Lounge to enjoy a sit-down dining experience and a lounge.Â
Step into a whimsical wonderland under the sea where your host, Ariel, welcomes you as part of her world! Ariel’s Grotto is a diverse fixed-price restaurant that offers a Princess breakfast & three course Princess character lunch. Have your cameras ready because the Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella are always full of fun and surprises! During dinner hours the same popular menu is available but you also have the opportunity to book a “World of Color” dining package on applicable nights that includes preferred viewing for the show.
