Ariel getting evicted from MK - please tell me she is at Akershus!

[jodipaige2004]

Apparently Ariel's Grotto is closing April 11th and she won't be available for meet and greets after that date until May 9th (which seems like extremely bad planning to me). We are going April 19-27th and my DD3 would really like to meet Ariel, actually that is an understatement - she is obsessed with Ariel and expecting to meet her! Why not, all the princess live at Disney, right? We have breakfast at Norway during our vacation - I am hoping people can post the princesses they are seeing there for breakfast this month so I can get a sense as to whether or not she will be there.

Thanks so much for sharing your princess line-ups!

During our breakfast we got to meet Ariel -- I know they rotate them but I think you have a good chance of seeing her there.

Arial and Prince Eric are rumored to be appearing in Adventureland at the Veranda starting April 12.

Oh I hope she's gets to see her! My daughter is obsessed with Ariel as well and meeting her was the highlight of her trip! Have a wonderful time, I hope it all works out!

The last 2 times that we dined at Akershus for breakfast, we have seen Ariel in her ballgown. The first time was this past December and the second time was just last week. My DD6 is a huge fan of Ariel as well, so she was extremely happy that she was there. Now, FYI...she is not guaranteed to be there all the time, the princesses are not set as to who will be there, except for Belle at the door taking pictures and signing autograph books. Good luck

We did dinner at Akershus and she wasn't there. Mary Poppins was in her place.

Do you know where else you can meet Prince Eric? I am going May 16-23, which according to the above, is when Ariel will be back in her grotto and I guess not in Adventureland anymore? I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet Prince Eric, actually any of the princes...sorry this is kind of a tangent, but if anyone can give me tips on places where I could meet any princes in the parks or meals (excluding character dinners, we are all booked up for our signatures), that would be awesome!

We've done breakfast and lunch at Akershus and saw Ariel both times. One time, she was the princess for the photo before you're seated and another time she was walking around with Jasmine, Aurora and Snow White.

Thanks for the replies. Apparently Ariel and Eric won't be appearing in Adventureland until May 9, meaning she will not be anywhere for meet n' greets for almost a whole month. I would be thrilled to learn that is correct, but it looks like the only place to meet her during that time will be the princess meals. Please keep the Norway breakfast character line-ups coming!
Hopefully we'll meet her there!!

TIA!

oh no!!! dd is obsessed with her as well. we were lucky enough to meet her in october, but we also really enjoyed cooling off at the groto....sadly were not doing auscherhaus...or however its spelled...im scared to death dd will have a meltdown now...oy...

too bad they're not having her appear elsewhere during this time...i'm sure there will be more than a few princesses who are tearyeyed over missing their fave princess.
