This Costume Has Been Retired.
Ariel
The Little Mermaid
Disney Parks Seafoam Gown
Ariel has always been one of my very favorite Disney princesses. When I found her Seafoam Dress - during my first year working for Walt Disney World - I was so excited to wear it for my very first Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! Since 2011, I have had 3 different wigs for this costume, trying to find the perfect match. The dress itself is a "limited edition" from it's creator, as "the fabric was a manufacturers overrun" and they purchased the only 50 yards available. To this day, I'm still sad that Disney did away with this Meet and Greet dress.
At the party, so many people asked for my picture but I had to decline. I was told as I entered the Magic Kingdom that I would be asked to leave if I took pictures with anyone outside my party. When I went to meet Ariel there was actually a bit of chaos. One of her attendants loved me, another kept giving me the stink eye -.-
Waiting in line to meet Ariel and Eric, little girls were going crazy and a few actually came up and were talking to me. Some wanted to touch my dress and my wig, especially after I explained that I was really blonde! When I finally met Ariel and Eric it was too funny. Ariel and I did The Mirror and she had us take a picture each pulling on one of Eric's arms, haha. Jack Sparrow was extremely wary of me being a mermaid and made me take a pirate oath not to sing! I was also able to ride the People Mover, The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and The Haunted Mansion in this dress :P It was quite a feat!
