Somehow I managed to pull into the parking lot at 7:40. I went and got some pictures of the Stormtroopers and Boba Fett.

Princess Location Changes

Now that Belle has been moved to Enchanted Tales With Belle, Aurora has taken her place in the Town Square Theater. Snow White has also been moved. She now meets next to City Hall.

I don't know why they put such an ugly picture of Rapunzel on the sign. I don't even know where they found such an ugly picture of her.

Ariel's Grotto

Ariel's Grotto has opened in the new section of Fanasyland. It is located past the Journey of the Little Mermaid Ride.




The wait time sign was not working.


They had CM's standing outside the grotto holding a sign with the wait time on it.


The queue is located in a cavern.. It was pretty warm in there so I can't imagine waiting in there on a hot summer day. When you enter the queue, you keep moving up until you get to a CM. The CM will ask how many are in your party and then he'll send one group in at a time to meet Ariel.

I saw these lights on the ceiling as I was waiting for my turn.




Ariel is sitting on a clam shell. You get to sit next to her to have your picture taken with her. Just don't trip on the bottom part like I did.

Under The Sea - Journey Of The Little Mermaid

I was so excited to ride Under The Sea - Journey Of The Little Mermaid for the first time. I actually teared up during my first ride though. I guess it was because I was so happy and excited. My emotions really got the best of me. I don't think I've ever cried at Disney World before.

The ride was really great. The music was wonderful and the animatronics were amazing. I know that this is going to be a very popular ride. It also has fastpass, which you can get near Philharmagic.

After you get in your clamshell, you pass by Scuttle.


You then go backwards so you're under the sea and you can see Ariel above you.


Next, you see Ariel with her thingamabobs.
