Ariel's Autograph

[Livin'4Disney]

Is there any other place to get Ariel's Autograph besides the Grotto in MK?
Is she ever in the other parks?

We got her autograph at the princess lunch in Norway at Epcot. When we were there she was the princess who was in the front getting her picture taken with the guests. The princesses are random there so no guarantee but this is where we saw her outside of the grotto.

I can't think of any other place.

Part of the problem is that she can't walk because, well she is a mermaid and she is on land and I doubt any of us would want to see her flopping on the ground to get around.

So the grotto provides her with a nice seating area in a neat setting.

Thats where we saw her. And we loved the food there too.

In Norway she is in her gown, with legs.

She's sometimes at Toon Town, inside a building if it's too cold. Or for no reason at all.

Yeah, that's just so wrong

Ariel's Grotto is your best bet since she is pretty much guaranteed to be there unless it is too cold or under refurb. If either of those are the case, she appears at Toontown Hall of Fame instead. Aside from the Grotto, the only place she appears regularly is the Storybook Princess Lunch and Dinner (not breafast usually). If she is there, she appears at the entrance and you meet her before you are seated. She is not guaranteed, but she is there pretty often. Here's a photo of her from when I saw her there:

I've also heard of her appearing at MGM when Voyage of the Little Mermaid is under rehab (which I don't think is scheduled for a rehab in the forseeable future).

We aren't doing the character meal in Epcot (doing 1900 Fare instead) so it sounds like the Grotto is our best bet.
Do you think it is possible to still see her in Norway since she is the greeter?
How about MGM at the "Hat"? Seems like I here there are a lot of characters there?
This is our first time going and DD wants to see her

oops, just read your additional note under your picture about MGM and the Voyage of the Little Mermaid...Thanks for all the tips!

Unfortunately, you have to have a reservation at Norway to see Ariel (if she is there).
