- TLTaylor LoeschOct 21, 20255.0I thought this would be a quick photo op and exit however it was so much more!! This was such a memorable experience for us as first time parents bringing our baby to Disney for the first time. The love and thoughtfulness put into the entire exhibit plus the dedication of the Ariel, was incredible. She catered her conversation to my baby and made her feel so excited during the visit. I cannot get over how wonderful this was and definitely my favorite thing we did as a family at MK! If you’re questioning whether or not this is worth it, do it! You won’t be disappointed!
