INTRODUCTION
Tucked
away in a colorful grotto near Fantasyland's lagoon is the perfect
spot for little princesses and princes to meet their favorite little
mermaid, Ariel.
ATTRACTION
Ariel's
Grotto -- This colorful grotto out just beyond Cinderella's
Golden Carrousel is decorated with starfish, coral, and waterfalls,
and affords the opportunity to meet Ariel, the beautiful mermaid heroine
of "The Little Mermaid," throughout the day. There's also
a play area with a spongy flooring -- originally there were squirting
fountains here, but they haven't operated for some time.
Since
mermaids have difficulty walking on land, Ariel will greet you from
her chair draped with seaweed -- young mermaid fans can sit right next
to her for their photo op!
Ariel's
usually there at her grotto from 10 a.m. until park closing, but check
your daily Times Guide just to be sure.

TIPS
