Ariel's Grotto

Weeks before our trip, we had been having some typical 4 year old behavior issues from Clara, so we set up a behavior chart system with the final reward being a trip to Ariel's Grotto for lunch.  It didn't take her long to feel motivated she easily earned the reward.   

Above she s all dressed us in her Belle gown waiting to be seated for our special meal.

First stop, meeting Ariel! 

Once we were at our table and orders were take, the other Princesses began to arrive and come around to all the tables. It was a late lunch and Clara was already tired so we didn't capture her best "princess" expressions, but she was really excited!

Cinderella!

Even Janie got into the Princess spirit in her Cinderella shirt.  Cinderella enjoyed hearing Janie call out her name!

Clara's cousins, Grandma and Aunt & Uncle were excited to share in the fun of the afternoon with us!

And at the end, Belle!  Clara mentioned to her several times that she was wearing her dress!  While the princesses left quite an impression on our young lady, so did this platter of desserts!  We were all actually pleasantly surprised at the quality of food at Ariel's Grotto and they definitely accommodated the needs of a young family well!
