Following the closing of the Magic Kingdom in March 2020, many attractions and experiences were slow to reopen. Two such attractions are close to making their return! Disney has just announced that Enchanted Tales with Belle and Ariel’s Grotto in Fantasyland will be returning soon.
Ariel’s Grotto
Ariel’s Grotto will reopen to guests on January 22.
Ariel’s Grotto is a traditional meet-and-greet experience where guests meet Ariel in her mermaid form. This has been something guests have been unable to do anywhere at Walt Disney World since March 2020.
Enchanted Tales with Belle
Enchanted Tales with Belle will return on February 19.
Enchanted Tales with Belle is an immersive experience where guests have a chance to play a part in her fairytale story, or just cheer along while observing the fun!
Genie+
Genie+ will be offered for both attractions as well as Lightning Lane access.
