Ariel's Grotto

Ariel's Grotto is a restaurant located at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California offering the opportunity for guests to dine with Ariel and several other Disney princesses. Ariel's Greeting Grotto is a character meet-and-greet attraction at Tokyo DisneySea in Japan.

This colorful grotto based on The Little Mermaid is one of the few places for kids to get autographs and take pictures with Ariel in her mermaid form. The area is completely surrounded by starfish, coral, and waterfalls. It is also used as a play place for kids, as it features a soft-surface play zone dotted with fountains. There is a sandy beach behind the grotto. The original Magic Kingdom version utilized the closed 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage lagoon as a backdrop, adding some additional rockwork and a statue of Triton emerging from the lagoon to the corner of the Grotto facing the water.

In August 2008, the area at Disneyland was closed. It was re-themed as Pixie Hollow, which is a Disney Fairies meet-and-greet attraction.

In April 2010, the area at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom was closed. It was later reincarnated next to the Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid ride. This new location travels through sea caves at the base of Prince Eric's Castle before arriving at the Grotto to meet Ariel.
