I said we could try breakfast next time instead and maybe it would be better.

    Is it comparable to other breakfast buffetts? does anyone know how early they start seating for breakfast? is it before the park opens? can we use the GCH enterance?
    I would love to hear experiences from anyone who has done the breakfast at Ariels.

I think breakfast just started last Sept. anyway. You should call Disney Dining to see if it will be served when you are there....even if it is before the 60-day reservation window. This way you can plan.

    Anyway, from what I have heard/read the breakfast is limited but good. I think it is served family style to your table (not a buffet) and you get a plate of fruit, pastries, and bacon (and perhaps eggs?). If you look around on this forum (or others) you should be able to find more detailed posts. I can't recall anyone being disappointed, but I get the feeling you pay a lot for not too much food. But as you already know, you are paying for the experience of seeing the princesses. We have done lunch before, and will consider breakfast next time if it is available.

    Also...I believe you enter DCA through the main gates and head to Ariel's Grotto. I believe they serve breakfast before the park actually opened. I also think I remember reading that if you are done with breakfast before the park officially opens (like at 10am on off-season weekdays) you have to leave the park and wait to come back in until it opens.

    Again....this is what I remember reading online, and things may be different now. Check the forum archives. I hope you have a wonderful trip!!!!

It is very descriptive about the breakfast.....and it makes it sound really good! We will definitely go if it is still available. I will try and post a link:
