Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
Jodi Benson wants to be where the people are, and those people are at the Walt Disney World Resort! In 1989, Benson voiced the mermaid princess Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid and immediately became a major part of Disney history. Since that time, Benson has frequently worked with Disney, reprising her role as Ariel in The Little Mermaid series, Ariel’s Studio Story, and The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea. She also worked on the Disney projects, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, and Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp’s Adventure, among many others. In 2011, Benson was officially inducted as a Disney Legend.

If you are wondering what Benson’s new book is about (and we know you are), here is some more information on Part of My World: What I’ve Learned from The Little Mermaid about Love, Faith, and Finding My Voice, courtesy of Amazon:
A treasure trove of colorful characters and unforgettable anecdotes, Part of My World reads like a real-life fairy tale as a girl with a big voice and even bigger dreams sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, Jodi shares lessons she’s learned about faith, friendship, love, loss, taking chances, making mistakes, following God’s call, and chasing your dreams. In Part of My World you’ll come alongside Jodi as she
- struggles to find her footing in the rehearsal halls of Manhattan;
- finds (then loses, then marries) her prince charming;
- makes a splash on Broadway;
- gives voice to a feisty redheaded mermaid, a blonde bombshell named Barbie, and a Tony-nominated powerhouse named Polly; and
- searches for her own personal happily ever after.
Written with warmth, humor, and disarming vulnerability, Part of My World is a captivating glimpse behind the curtain at the making of one of the most celebrated animated movies of all time, and a must-read for Disney fans of all ages.
