Where to meet Ariel?

[Saoirse1916]

My wife and I, 3-year old daughter, and my folks are headed to WDW the week after Thanksgiving and we were all bummed to learn that Ariel's Grotto is among the Fantasyland expansion casualties. My daughter watches the Little Mermaid at least 4-5 times per week (more if we would let her), so we're trying to figure out if there's any place for her to meet Ariel. We're already booked at CRT but I understand Ariel doesn't stop by there -- which is OK, she loves Cinderella and the rest too -- also I've heard that Akershus is hit or miss with specific characters.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? It seems like I read somewhere that Ariel was being relocated someplace else during the construction, but I might be mistaken.

Thanks in advance!

She is *supposed* to be out (in her seafoam dress) with Prince Eric in Adventureland.

So far though, there's been no photographic proof (that I"ve seen) on the board *hint, hint, hint*

Crossing my fingers that she is, because my DD is wearing her seafoam dress right now and can't wait to see Ariel in December!

She was in Adventureland just across the bridge from the hub in Stitches old location last weekend.

Cool, we're going to be in the Magic Kingdom for two days so hopefully one of those days we'll run into her! Thanks!

She was one of the princesses at CRT when we had lunch there last week. Not sure if we just got really lucky, or if they have her there since the grotto is closed.
