Do they still have this at Ariel's Grotto? If so what Princesses do you get to meet? I did this a few years ago (like 6 or 7) but I can't seem to remember who we met at the time. Also if I wanted Ariel to deliver a birthday cake or a birthday cake brought out along with the meeting of Ariel how would i go about making this happen?

Re: Ariel's Princess Lunch
I haven't done Ariel's in years but when I did do it the only Princess they had where. Ariel,Snow White,Aurora,Cinderella & Belle. Sometimes Jasmine,Mulan or Fairy Godmother who pop in to replace one of the other Princesses that is not there but like I said I haven't done Ariel's in a long time. I think the last time I did her was back in 2010.

Re: Ariel's Princess Lunch
Ariel greets you at the bottom of the stairs before you're sat for your meal. Then, four of her friends (normally Cinderella, belle, Snow White, and aurora, though there may be substitutions) come through and visit each table. The princesses don't generally deliver cakes, and dessert is usually served after they have left the immediate dining area.
So the short version is that Ariel probably won't be slicing up pastries for your party. Sorry. But the servers can deliver it and sing a birthday song.

I've also seen Tiana as well in the line up. I've only done Breakfast and Dinner but if the lunch menu is like the dinner menu, the food is good and you are guaranteed photo ops with Ariel and four of the princesses from the "princess pool""Hello folks, welcome aboard the Disneyland Railroad..."
"The Gods have been angered by all the celebratin'..."

Re: Ariel's Princess Lunch
We did the meal here and were genuinely unimpressed with the experience as compared to meeting the princesses at the Princess Fantasy Faire.
At the meal (which is outrageously expensive), the princesses stop at your table, pose for a photo, and move on. That is IT. There is no conversation with the kids, maybe two sentences if they are lucky. They walk up, say hello, offer a hug to any children in the party, say "let's take a picture!" and say goodbye.
At the Princess Fantasy Faire, the princesses will have a full conversation with any members of your party that wish to talk, and you are never rushed to move on (and that's even with a big line always behind you!). They give you their complete attention and each vignette is intimate.
I really don't feel there is value in the Ariel's Grotto meal. But that's just my opinion. It's maybe worth mentioning that we had a party of 8 adults and 2 children and all of the adults agreed with this, that the princess experience was a million times better at the free Meet & Greet.

Also our meeting with Ariel was very rushed. We've done the expensive character deals like this at WDW in their castle and it was horrible food, but the character interaction was much better and not rushed. At Ariel's Grotto the interactions sucked but the food was good. I guess you can't have it all at a Disney Character Meal.
