Believe it or not, the Disney parks haven’t fully returned to normal following the closures.
Slowly but surely, restaurants and meet and greets reopened — and Disney just announced that another character meet and greet is returning to Magic Kingdom!
Ariel’s Grotto is reopening SOON in Magic Kingdom! We can finally say hello and hug The Little Mermaid beginning on January 22nd!
This Fantasyland character meet and greet spot is where we’ve been able to meet Princess Ariel in the past, and we’re thrilled that it’s finally returning.
With this and the return of Enchanted Tales with Belle, there will be even MORE opportunities to meet your favorite Disney characters in Magic Kingdom.
Stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates from Disney World and more!
