A Fan-Favorite Princess Meet and Greet Has Returned to Disney World!

We’ve got very exciting news from Magic Kingdom.

It was recently announced that the meet and greet at Ariel’s Grotto would be returning later this month. This character experience hasn’t been available since before the parks closed due to the pandemic, and today it finally reopened!

You can find this meet-and-greet spot right near the Under The Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid ride in Fantasyland. We headed over there to meet Ariel in her grotto for the first time in years!

We got in line when the posted wait time was 30 minutes and ended up waiting around 28 minutes. We loved catching up with Ariel!

If you want to know when she’s meeting guests, be sure to check your My Disney Experience App on the day of your trip to see the wait time and when the experience is open.

And Ariel isn’t the only character experience returning soon, because Enchanted Tales With Belle is also returning next month! As always, stay tuned to AllEars for all the latest Disney news.
