Ariel looks like she is in her mid-30’s in that picture.

too much sun while she's been out of the water.

Would be awesome if they had an animatronic Sebastian or Flounder in the queue to see her.

Totally, if they put a little extra $$ into it they could. Uni has it at the Shrek meet n Greet. The AA Donkey is there live talking to you while you take pics.

That's perfect for me.

I can't be the only one thinking this but it doesn't look all that different to the "old" Ariel's Grotto to me.

The only thing I take from that picture is maybe she has water and bubbles in a tank behind her?

Looks great!

If I recall the plans correctly, there are two seperate M&G rooms, allowing a few guests in at a time. Between groups, the CM switch will happen as needed.

Oh I’m familiar with the original plans of Pixie Hollow and the smaller circus area. I was just saying to the other posters if there was no circus area at all and the entire space was forest like they suggested; what do you do with Dumbo at that point? Dumbo is too iconic to just eliminate it from the park, it need to have a home somewhere. Yes it would be great to have more forest, but the current plans give Dumbo a nicely themed area, helps with the budget, and they get to keep the merchandise location.

No she meets with the tail on just like she did in the former Ariel's Grotto

That's not how the old location worked. The CM would stand inside the rockwork.

She looks to me like she's had a bit of work done too - like a red headed Joan Rivers.

I'm guessing that was this (2006)


Although it has since changed (2009)

Dumbo was always going to move to the east end, even when the plan was to do Pixie Hollow instead of the circus.
Using the circus theme for the whole area was a cost-saving decision, and allowed them to keep the money machine that was County Bounty.

And that's where it gets hilarious. So, in order to have continued succes with County Bounty they still need to be circus tents? Wow, talk about a lack of imagination.

Think about the water features continuing on past TLM and onto Neverland with Hook's ship and Pixie Hollow. Then go outside the berm just like they did at Disneyland to create some kind of ToonTown that would include some massive shop and the duel Dumbo spinners. In one expansion, you'd accomplish most of the shortcomings with the FLE.

It'll be nice to see Ariel back in mermaid state. I seriously hated her as a human. Also, whi;e blue was nice for her dress, the weird sea-flower thing in her hair was horrendous.
