According to an update on the Walt Disney World website, the Ariel meet and greet in the Walt Disney Presents exhibit will be moving to Echo Lake. The move comes as the meet and greet will be “temporarily unavailable” within Walt Disney Presents. The change takes effect on October 28th. Here’s the latest!
Ariel Meet & Greet Moving at Hollywood Studios
Starting October 28th, the Ariel meet and greet in the Walt Disney Presents attraction will be temporarily closed, and Ariel will meet guests at Echo Lake. Here’s the announcement from Disney:
Meet Ariel at Walt Disney Presents will be temporarily unavailable beginning October 28. Ariel will be greeting guests at Echo Lake, near 50’s Prime Time Cafe
The Little Mermaid meet and greet opened within Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 26, 2023. The meet and greet space took over the former Sulley Monsters Inc. meet and greet area.
It’s unclear how long the Walt Disney Presents meet and greet location will be closed. Walt Disney World has not updated operating hours on the website yet to reflect the closure. Wording on the website suggests that the plan is to keep the Ariel meet and greet in the same space once the work concludes.
