The only place we saw Prince Erik over Christmas was in the parade...no meet N greets I would have LOVED to get a picture of DD with him as Ariel is her Favorite princess.
You would think they could put him in his shipwreck clothes with Ariel in her grotto.
Then we got REALLY lucky in November 2006! He was with Ariel in her Grotto. We were next up when they stopped us to let in some Make-a-Wish Girls. In comes Eric to be with them and when they left, he stayed!
The best part is DD was wearing Ariel's Wedding Dress and DS was dressed as Prince Eric in his wedding garb (I made both costumes.) Ariel was tickled and even kissed her 'little prince'.
Ariel & Eric spent lots of time with their doubles and I got lots of photos.
He is in the end of Voyage of the Little Mermaid show at DHS. Best advice would be to ask at Guest Relations there or at MK, you can really NEVER tell when a character is going to be out until you ask and who know you might get lucky? You can always ask a CM at Voyage as well! Good luck with the character hunt!
We asked in December 2008 about meeting Eric and were told that he does not do meet/greets "at this time". He's in parades sometimes, he's in Fantasmic and he's in the Voyage to the Mermaid show, but other appearances are pretty rare (of course in Disneyspeak that means it's never impossible, lol).
However, we met a wonderful CM who was able to get us a private meet and greet with Eric and Max (the dog). As you can see by the expression on Jessica's face she is beyond thrilled....it was truly a "Dream Come True" moment for her......she walked out of that meet gushing about how Eric had hugged her, lol.
I enjoyed meeting Eric, but Max definitely "stole the show" in that meet. For such a big dog he sure bounced around a lot.
Here is the end of the boat in Fantasmic and you can see Ariel and Eric on the top level.
And here is a closer photo of Ariel and Eric on the boat....sorry it's not too clear, I was snapping as fast as the camera would go and obviously moving at the same time, lol. This appears to be a much younger Eric, lol.
Prince Eric is on our "Wanted" list for characters we want to meet.
We went to the Pirate & Princess Party in 2007 expecting to meet him and Flounder but they weren't out
I have to admit I was a bit disappointed.
But we had fun anyway.
