BACKSTORY (1995—August 2008): This area, which was the former home to the Monsanto House of the Future and the Alpine Gardens (which replaced the Monsanto House of the Future) became a meet-and-greet area for Ariel from “The Little Mermaid.”
BACKSTORY (October 28, 2008—Present): To celebrate the animated film “Tinker Bell,” Disney’s most famous fairy and four of her best friends were built a meet-and-greet area that replaced Ariel’s Grotto. To meet Tinker Bell and her fairy friends, guests enter a magical forest called “Pixie Hollow.” Tink is joined inside Pixie Hollow by four fairy friends: Fawn, an animal fairy; Iridessa, a light fairy; Rosetta, a garden fairy; and Silvermist, a water fairy.
