I am not sure that Ariel is still there. I thought that I had heard that she was on hiatus at this location due to the new "tinkerbell attraction/meet-n-greet" coming into this area... Can anyone confirm?
We saw Ariel there, for pictures on the Photopass and autographs, the week of 6/20-27. It was great to be able to see a Princess and not have to go to PFFt.
I agree with a Character meal, too. We did three during our trip, 6/20-27, and Goofy's Kitchen far surpassed Lilo and Stitch or Ariel's Grotto. Goofy's Kitchen had a ton of characters, and several came over twice. They even had Mulan, who we didn't get to see in the parks because she's in PFFt with all the other Princesses.
You both will have so much fun!!!
