A Castle fit for a Princess


I already talked about Cinderella's Castle in a previous post, so here is a link to that page!

Sing to me!

For every little girl who loves Ariel, meeting the red-head Princess would be a dream come true! This little cove in Fantasyland is the perfect place to do just that! Here, at "Ariel's Grotto", guests can sit with Ariel for a photo-op and for autographs!

This little attraction used to be a neighbor to "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" (another water-based attraction). After the ride was closed up, a statue of King Triton (Ariel's Father) sat heroically in the middle of the water. The water has since been removed and filled with cement and now houses Pooh's Playful Spot!

you can even see ride elements still under the water!

This is definitely an attraction for people of all ages! I have seen the line get pretty long, so don't be discouraged by a long wait ...or just come back later!
