Anyway, I wonder if it's not attracting enough people, or what? DH and I ate their on our honeymoon and loved it! It's so romantic to sit right out there on the water with Paradise Pier sparkling in the dark. The characters were so cute in their little sailor outfits, too! I'm not sure if I'm thrilled at the whole princess idea. I like the princesses, but it seems like having all these pretty girls wandering around would steal from the romance of the patio area. LOL. Maybe it's just me, but...
I think it was a Wolfgang Puck's, but for only a very brief time. I don't think it did well because people don't want to go to a restaurant that they can go to anywhere else. There are several Wolfgang Puck's in Orange County.

I too am disappointed it's becoming a princess restaurant. As much as we like the princesses, it's just so not a princess environment, but something else unique altogether. I mean - the chandeliers are glass jellyfish...where else are you gonna get that?? The princesses fit better at the Plaza Inn.

I have a mini trip report from Ariel's Grotto (with pictures) in the Trip Report forum from a few weeks ago.
