Ariel Meet & Greet Now at NEW Location in Hollywood Studios

Meet Ariel at Her New, Permanent Spot in Hollywood Studios

As anticipated, the live-action Ariel meet and greet has officially settled into its new home at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Ariel’s meet-and-greet location has officially moved from Walt Disney Presents to a new spot in Echo Lake, situated near the 50’s Prime Time Cafe. This change went into effect today, October 28. It is not currently known how long she will be meeting guests at this new location.

While her previous space at Walt Disney Presents was heavily themed—designed to resemble the beautiful terrace of Prince Eric’s seaside castle—her new environment is significantly simpler. The new backdrop features a row of tall potted plants, with a small wooden box or treasure chest placed on the ground next to her.

The My Disney Experience app has been updated to reflect Ariel’s current meeting spot, listing the new location as “Echo Lake, Near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!” The app also provides guests with her current appearance times.

This change comes after a new preview center highlighting many upcoming Walt Disney World projects was recently installed in Ariel’s former location at Walt Disney Presents. Guests should also remember that the classic, cartoon version of Ariel can still be found meeting guests in her grotto at Magic Kingdom.
