Ariel

[kdmkdm7]

My 6 year old absolutely loves Ariel, The Little Mermaid. Can anyone please tell me where we can find her at the parks, and if any breakfasts are available with Ariel. Thanks.

She's usually either in Ariel's Grotto or Mickey's Toontown at MK

We met her at Ariel's Grotto. On the day, my 6yo DD was wearing Ariel sunglasses, and the 'real' Ariel commented on them. She also said 'bye princess' to DD because she was wearing a princess t-shirt. DH & DS (4) also loved her... but for different reasons!

My DD is terrified of Ursula, and told Ariel she doesn't like to watch her movie because of it. Ariel broke off a little piece of the plastic seaweed around her and gave it to her, so she'd have something to remind her not to be afraid.

That is so SWEET!!! That is why Ariel was always my favorite princess!!

We waited about 30-40 minutes for my DD to meet Ariel in her Grotto at MK. Ariel was so sweet and actually had a little conversation with DD. (She asked her what her favorite ride was - Dumbo - then she told her that she and Cinderella like to ride that together too!)

Ariel was also my DD's first autograph so that was a real special moment to her. (My DH also wanted his picture taken with Ariel - ha!) She was very pretty, very nice and took her time with all the kids. Although I wasn't thrilled with the line - it was certainly worth it to my DD.

Hope your DD has fun meeting her!

We were just at the Grotto last week, so a word of advice: I'm not sure if our crowds were typical or not, but we learned REAL quickly that lines build up for Ariel fairly fast. She didn't arrive in the morning until 9:30, but waiting the 25 minutes or so until she came was nothing compared to the near hour-long waits we witnessed for the rest of the day. Every time we passed the sign, it read anywhere between 50 and 70 minutes to meet Ariel. It'll definitely be worth it for your DD, but my advice is to get there early, even if you have to wait a little while for her to arrive.
