Ariel's Grotto

[Mary Poppins]

Is this character lunch/dinner as hard to get as the breakfast at WDW?

[NotaGeek]

Not at all. Just call 60 days ahead and make your booking. Except for Blue Bayou it's never really hard to find a Priority Seating reservation. (714) 781-DINE (3463)

Great--thanks!

And do you (or anyone) know if Ariel's, PHC Grill and Goofy's Kitchen still do the AAA discount? I read it in the a Passporter from a couple of years ago and wasn't sure if they still do this.

Never heard of that, but I bet AAA knows for sure! Be sure and post back if you find out, I am sure there are other AAA members that would take advantage of it. From what I saw on the AAA website I think that this year you might have to buy the Disney Package through AAA to get the discounts:
