Our last several trips to the park have involved visits to Princess Fantasy Faire, princess souvenirs, and most recently, lunch at Ariel’s Grotto for Ariel’s Disney Princess Celebration!

This Princess meal takes place in Disney's California Adventure at Ariel’s Grotto, a restaurant with an under-the-sea theme. Start with the delicious first course, select an entree and then move on to the wonderful dessert platter!

Dining Packages for the World of Color have been announced! The dining packages will work like Disney World’s Fantasmic Dinner packages. Guests will book their dining arrangements and eat well before the show begins. After dining, guests will receive tickets for reserved seating at the shows. Ariel’s Grotto and Wine Country Trattoria are the restaurants participating in the package.

Ariel’s Grotto's new meet and greet location coming to the New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom park.

Domestic and specialty beer will be offered at this California Adventure location beginning July 1, 2011.

Theme Park Tourist's review of The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, the new dark ride at Disney California Adventure. Did it live it up to our lofty expectations?

Since we like to explore all Disney dining options, and my family had already done the World of Color Premium Dining at Ariel’s Grotto, our next step was to check out the World of Color Picnic Meals.

“World of Color” is all about color, music, water, fun and the pleasures of Disney storytelling. To make the experience even more wonderful at Disney’s California Adventure park, it can be paired with delicious food and beverage selections. Before arriving at the park, guests also will be able to pre-purchase...

Fans of all food Disney, I knew they had to have some dinners lined up that would include reserved seating for the show. So what did I do? I called Disney Dining every single day for about 6 weeks straight to ask about it. I know a bit extreme, but guess what? I got my reservation the DAY they started taking them.
