Hi Autumn!
There are some great places to view or visit with Ariel at Walt Disney World.
The best place to see Ariel in her 'natural' habitat is over at Disney's Hollywood Studios. During
Voyage of The Little Mermaid, you'll enjoy a 15-minute show during which Ariel sings and interacts with all your favourite characters from The Little Mermaid. It's an enjoyable show for all ages and runs continuously throughout the day.
My other favourite place to see & meet Ariel is over in Epcot park at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall's Princess Storybook Dining. During breakfast, lunch or dinner here, you'll be greeted by a "hostess" Princess at the doorway where you'll have an opportunity for an autograph and a complimentary photo package to be taken. While you enjoy dining, many Princesses will visit your table for more autograph and photo opportunities. The Princesses at this location do vary from time to time, however frequently Ariel is among them, often dressed in her beautiful ballgown. Based on personal experience, I'd most highly recommend breakfast as an enjoyable meal where the menu will please everyone in your party. This is a very popular experience, so be sure to
make a reservation online in advance.
Another spot where you can often meet & greet Ariel takes place in Magic Kingdom's Adventureland Veranda. Consult the Magic Kingdom park times guide slip for a daily or weekly posting of Character Meet & Greet locations and times throughout the park.
Wishing you a Magical time on your Walt Disney World vacation Autumn!
