CONFIRMED: Live action Ariel meet and greet coming to Walt Disney World

We posted a rumor in early March of this year that live action Ariel would be coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year for meet & greets. We were right. Disney has confirmed that the Halle Bailey version of Ariel will be meeting guests soon at Walt Disney Presents.

When Ariel’s adventures on land take her to Walt Disney World Resort, guests will be able to meet her by visiting Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Ariel invites guests to be “part of her world” and for a limited time, see a special sneak peek and props from the film available at Walt Disney Presents Theater.

Starring singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel, the film’s cast includes Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy. Check out Halle’s announcement below.

Heading west to Disneyland Resort, Ariel will venture on land to greet guests along the promenade near “it’s a small world” at Disneyland park. At Disneyland Paris Resort, guests can share an interactive experience with Ariel at Walt Disney Studios Park for a limited-time celebration later this year.

“The Little Mermaid,” opens exclusively in theaters nationwide May 26, 2023. “The Little Mermaid” is the story of Ariel, a spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land.

No specific date has yet been given for the live action Ariel meet and greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disneyland Park, or at the Walt Disney Studios Park. But, we can assume Ariel will be meeting by May 26, 2023, in time for the film’s debut.
