The official Disney Parks Blog has today shared some new concept art for Ariel's Grotto (see below), the Little Mermaid meet and greet coming to the new Fantasyland.

Located in the base of the Little Mermaid attraction cliffs, the meet and greet will let guests meet Ariel in mermaid form, seated on a seashell throne.  The grotto is a separate attraction from the 'Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid' ride.

Ariel's Grotto will open for previews with the rest of that area on November 19 2012.
