Meet Ariel at Her Grotto — Attraction in Bay Lake

In a land of dreams, where magic dances free, I embarked on a voyage beneath the sea, A ride of wonder, where colors abound, Ariel's Grotto, where enchantment is found.

With bated breath, I stepped into the queue, Anxiously awaiting the magical debut, Whispers of tales and songs filled the air, As I entered the realm, I couldn't help but stare.

The world transformed, a water ballet, A symphony of sights, in a mesmerizing display, Upon a gentle clamshell, I took my seat, As the ride began, my heart skipped a beat.

Soft waves carried me through an underwater world, Pearlescent shells, and seaweed unfurled, Dancing fish, with vibrant hues, In this ethereal place, I felt like a muse.

The journey unfolded, a story untold, As I followed Ariel, with a heart that beholds, Her voice, like a siren, echoed through the ride, Guiding us on a quest, with joy as our guide.

From the colorful coral reefs we did pass, To a shipwrecked treasure, glistening like glass, We met Sebastian, the lively crab, And Flounder, the loyal friend, never in a stab.

Through dark caves and mystical coves we sailed, Where secrets whispered and mysteries unveiled, A battle with Ursula, the sea witch so vile, Her dark magic tested our courage with guile.

But fear not, for Ariel's love would prevail, As Prince Eric's kiss broke Ursula's dark veil, In a burst of light, harmony was restored, And we emerged from the depths, feeling truly adored.

Ariel's Grotto ride, a poetic ballet, A journey through imagination, night and day, With its mesmerizing scenes and songs so grand, It transports the soul to a magical land.

So let your spirit soar, like a seagull in flight, As you glide through this watery delight, In Ariel's Grotto, dreams come alive, A voyage of wonder, where...

If you haven't had enough of the little mermaid on her ride you can swim on over and meet her in person in her grotto. The detail in this area is spectacular and of course Ariel couldn't be sweeter. My daughter wore a little mermaid dress to the park that day and Ariel took the time to notice her clothes and complement her on her dress. They took several pictures for us both with their camera that went to the magic band and with our own camera as well. The wait was only 20 minutes for this one of a kind experience. I don't usually take time away from the rides to wait on character lines when I am at the park, but for Ariel I make...

The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie growing up and her castle didn’t disappoint. It was very realistic and immersed you to feel as though you’re in the movie. The water surrounding the castle helps cool you off as you wait in line. There was music playing like what played at the castle and on Eric’s ship. There’s a ton to look at as you wait in line and little interactive areas for kids. The ride itself is very slow which makes it perfect...
