Where can we find Ariel in WDW? Since Voyage of the Little Mermaid is going to be down - I want to be sure my kids are going to see Ariel! Is there anywhere to see her besides the Grotto at MK?
 
Since she's not very mobile, I think that's the only place you'll find her. (except for a couple of the parades and a brief appearance in Fantasmic)
 
When are you going? If it's really cold outside, she appears in ToonTown Fair instead of her grotto.

I've always thought it would be nice to have her at one of princess breakfasts. Since the Evil Queen somtimes appears in Hag form, wouldn't it be ok for Ariel to sometimes appear in "legged" form?? She does in Fantasmic & Voyage.
 
The Grotto at MK is the only place where Ariel does greetings. She is also in the parades (both Share A Dream and SpectroMagic) at MK and Stars and Motor Cars Parade and Fantasmic at MGM. However, if Little Mermaid will be down at MGM, Ariel and Prince Eric might be making appearences in the lobby of the theater, though. That's what they did last year when the attraction was closed. Hopefully they will be there again. Good luck in finding her.
 
About 5 or more years ago we saw Ariel in the lobby of the BC. She was on her rock and the rock was motorized, kind of like a mini parade float. I've been to some character meals where a character stays in the lobby. They could just have her out there on her rock.
