Are you hoping to find Ariel at Walt Disney World during your next vacation? Almost every family I plan with says that Ariel is one of their favourite Disney characters.

Is Ariel one of your family’s favourite Disney characters? Here are some of the best places to find Ariel at Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, Trattoria Al Forno

I’m going to get this one out of the way right at the beginning. Trattoria Al Forno is a great option for breakfast. Unfortunately, Ariel hasn’t returned to character dining at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, yet. At Pure Magic Vacations, we’re really hopeful that she will make her return soon. Until then, try one of the other spots to find Ariel, below.

Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid

Little ones who love The Little Mermaid Disney animated classic will be thrilled to find Ariel at Walt Disney World! For them, this attraction is a “must-do.” At Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom, guests board a ride clamshell-shaped ride vehicle. Then, they go under the sea to sing along with Ariel and her friends, including Sebastian, Flounder and more. As the attraction ends, you’ll be a guest at Ariel’s wedding to Prince Eric.

Find Ariel at Walt Disney World in Her Grotto in Fantasyland

Want a personal meet and greet with Ariel? Guests can meet her at her Grotto near the Under the Sea attraction. Use your My Disney Experience app to find the best time to meet her during your visit to Magic Kingdom.

See Ariel at the Festival of Fantasy Parade

Ariel is the feature character of a beautiful float during the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom. The parade often runs twice daily through Magic Kingdom, ending on Main Street, U.S.A. My clients receive my recommendations for the best spot to sit for parade viewing. Check My Disney Experience for viewing times during your visit.

Meet Ariel at Walt Disney Presents

Guests can meet Ariel at Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Check My Disney Experience for times.
