Guest Recounts Memorable Meeting

In the film The Little Mermaid, Ariel shares a friendship with many fish of the sea. For this reason, she had a few words to say to this group. The guest recounts the story, saying:

“Ariel Judges Us For Eating Salmon (Akershus)

I was at Akershus for the Princess Character Meal and of course it’s now a massive “buffet” where they just give you a bit of everything- like a pair of huge plates that no human could eat through, with 3-4 kinds of meat, etc. It’s like… beef, chicken, salmon, etc.

So Ariel comes up and I’ve nearly gotten through the salmon, and I of course realize the warnings Sebastien gave her about human diets, so after she asks how the food is, I’m like “Good! … don’t look at that one” and tried to cover it with my hand. Her response, with the most measured Young Adult “I’m Disappoint In You” possible: “I know. Humans are weird”.

Then after another bit she asks “What was the best part? YOU CAN’T SAY THAT ONE” and I was forced to lie. TO A PRINCESS.

They really shouldn’t put fish on the menu on an Ariel character dinner, lol.”
