I’m kind of stunned by how many of you guessed question B and not A. I would think if one knows the answer to B one would also know the answer to A! It’s almost like a prerequisite!

(Answer A) The classic Disney film that this old, bearded dude (King Triton) has a part in is called “The Little Mermaid” (maybe you’ve heard of it). (Answer B) This carving of him can be found at the entrance to Ariel’s Grotto in Paradise Pier, DCA.

Seriously, do you know how many people guessed “Ariel’s Grotto” but didn’t guess “The Little Mermaid”??

Too many!

The name of the movie isn’t “King Triton”! OMG! >:(

Some of you that correctly guessed the movie thought this was King Triton’s Carousel. I can see that mistake happening, but to not guess the movie… All I can do is snort derisively <snort>.

On the other hand, to look at how impressive Triton is here… Ariel’s daddy certainly makes his presence known. I mean to look at that picture one might think it’s “The Big Triton” movie and this is Triton’s Grotto.

Ariel’s Grotto used to be a meet & greet area in Disneyland, but Tinkerbell and her gang of miscreant fairies came, kicked Ariel out and turned it into Pixie Hollow.

I can get why Pixie Hollow would be placed on the outskirts of Fantasyland, I can. They’re fairies. It’s Fantasyland. Gotcha. But their proximity to Tomorrowland is inapropriate. I don’t trust Tinkerbell that close to technology and neither should Disneyland. Watch the DVDs if you don’t see what I’m getting at.

Let’s just say: if one of the Astro Blaster rockets should break loose, send it and the guests riding it, flying into the marquee of Star Tours or something, the people who let Tink that close to a rocket ship have only themselves to blame! They should be well aware by now that Tink has a thing about watching people fall to their deaths.

Furthermore, and speaking only for myself, Tink and her fairy clique belongs in Critter Country with the rest of the animals!

But I digress…

Now Ariel’s Grotto is a restaurant which offers Character Dining– a chance to eat as Ariel and other Disney princesses visit tables.

Which, by the way, is why I’ve never set foot in the place. I really, really, really don’t like being bothered when I eat.

And let’s say I was okay with strangers coming up and talking to me while I ate– what If I’m eating some crab or snapper dish and I see Ariel approaching me…

I have to dive under the table and hide, or put up with the drama when she sees what I’m eating. Who needs that? Not me.

You can also watch World of Color from there as an alternative to fastpass general viewing, which is cool. You do need a reservation though. You can’t just walk in and expect to see World of Color from the restaurant without one.

So there you have it: “The Little Mermaid” and Ariel’s Grotto.

Thanks to everybody who participated. This was a fun one. I enjoyed all of your comments!
