Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA PLEASE SEE THE MENU!! Reservations are being accepted NOW. 714-781-DINE. Reservations can be made 60 days in advance. Two restaurants are participating in this fixed price dining plan. You choose the restaurant and the show, and they'll give you a window of time in which to make your dining reservation. Once you've eaten, you'll receive a voucher for each member of your party for a seat in the reserved SEATING area for World of Color. Seats are not assigned; like the Fantasmic reserved seating it's first come, first served (so I'd get the earliest dinner seating so I could go get in line after dinner and get the best seats). Cast members do not know where the seating area is at this time, nor could they tell me the per-show capacity. [Update: All AP discounts apply at the standard rate, as do CM discounts.] Ariel's Grotto Seating 1 (1st show) 5-7 Seating 2 (2nd show) 7-8:30 $36.99 per adult $20.99 per child, ages 3-9 Ages 2 and under do not need to pay, but must sit on a parent's lap - they will not receive a seating voucher. [Note: The Ariel's Grotto offering is NOT a character meal, and there will be no Disney Princesses on hand.] Menu: Shared Antipasti Tower for the table (your choice of roasted vegetables and salad or meat and cheese) Choice of one entree: Mafalde Pasta with Italian Sausage - Curly ribbons of pasta tossed in a Piemonte-style ragu with spicy Italian sausage, sauteed bell peppers and sweet onions. Herb-Crusted Chicken Breast - Served with Cheddar-herb mashed potatoes and a medley of seasonal vegetables. Santa Maria-style Tri-tip - Slow roasted over rock salt and smoked with red oakwood. Served with Cheddar-herb mashed potatoes and a medley of seasonal vegetables. Filet of Redfish - Grilled Redfish served over wild rice pilaf, delicately topped with a sweet & spicy pineapple chutney. Served with a medley of seasonal vegetables. Spinach and Ricotta Agnolotti - Topped with fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, julienne onions and asparagus served in a light mushroom broth. Cioppino - A fragrant bowl of the ocean's finest, including lobster claw, pink scalllops, redfish, green-lip mussels and shrimp, plus Bilbao chorizo bathed in a robust fire-roasted tomato broth. A shared dessert platter of Seahorse Lava Cake, Chocolate-Chip Strips, Cheesecake Tarts with Raspberries, S'more Chocolate Bites and a White Chocolate Conch Shell with Garden-fresh Berries. Wine Country Trattoria Seating 1 (1st show) 4-6:30 Seating 2 (2nd show) 6-8:30 ) $39.99 per adult [Price not yet available] per child, ages 3-9 Ages 2 and under do not need to pay, but must sit on a parent's lap - they will not receive a seating voucher.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Those prices don't seem too bad, but they seem like they're awfully early for the show times.

I guess that's what they do at the Studios in WDW for Fantasmic!, but none of those restuarants are very close to the amphitheater so it makes a little more sense that way.

Also..i want to inform you that danyoung mentioned to me, that they might do a fast pass like thing for non reservation seating, and might use the GRR fast pass machines.. don’t quote me on this, it’s what he said.. ask him for more info, he seemed to know a lot about it!
Originally Posted By ksargen Just got off the phone with Disney Dining, and according to the CM I talked to, almost everyone is running to the first seating, so go to second seating if you can. I can't this trip - two diabetics with two kids are not going to be ok waiting until 8 pm to eat. We'll see how it goes - I got us reserved for Tuesday night, June 15th!

Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA yeah hans, i don't know dude.. i don't think that you will be sitting at the trattoria to watch WOC, but im not sure...
Originally Posted By WorldDisney No, apparently they will have special researved seating in Paradise Park for people who eat the meals. They will just move them over there after showtime according to another site.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Oh, OK. Well that sounds fantastic. I'd definitely be willing to do something like that.
Originally Posted By DlandDug >>you must of posted after lulu called and reported back that my info was correct!<< No, check the time of the posts and you will see I posted right after you did. The post is off on a couple of details-- we are waiting for the Resort to send out the official word. So that's why I asked. Even over at that other site (where this originated) they stated this was coming from an operator reading from notes. But it is largely correct, so it's all good!

Based on the layout and other information of the building I would say that there is no viewing area. There is NO space for a restaurant.
