Special The Little Mermaid experiences are now available in Disney World and Disneyland in celebration of the new movie.

The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid is now available to see in theaters. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula in a reimagining of the classic Disney tale. And for fans of the film, the Disney Parks just got a lot more exciting. That’s because at Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and Disneyland Paris, you can now enjoy new The Little Mermaid-themed experience.

New Ariel Meet and Greet at the Disney Parks

Earlier this month, Disney shared that Ariel from the live-action story would be available to meet at Disney World, Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. Guests can now meet Ariel at each of the three parks!

At Disney World, you can meet Ariel at Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The meet and greet takes place in a setting resembling Prince Eric’s shoreside castle, where you can meet Ariel with the sea as a background! At Disneyland Resort, Ariel is available to meet guests near “It’s a small world,” where you’ll find her in a location made to resemble Eric’s castle library. Finally, at Disneyland Paris, Ariel and friends will be inviting guests to “dance and play along with them in an unforgettable musical moment,” according to Disney
