(That&#39;s my understanding, anyway.) At that time the King Triton and Ariel statues were installed and that specific area then became known as Triton&#39;s Garden. The Alpine Gardens souvenir stand, as I said, persisted until August 1997, with the Ariel meet and greet (Ariel&#39;s Grotto) moving in at the end of the year.Progresslandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-70035078993922142082009-07-06T09:11:43.933-04:002009-07-06T09:11:43.933-04:00Thanks for the correction, Jason. Naturally, I include these errors on purpose so that you have a reason to leave a comment!Davelandwebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-48566820860470753652009-07-06T08:17:57.574-04:002009-07-06T08:17:57.574-04:00A bit late to the party on this, but Ariel didn&#39;t arrive in the former Alpine Gardens until December 1997. The Alpine Gardens souvenir stand was there until August 24, 1997 (and somewhere I should have a receipt for candy sours from its final day of operation!).Progresslandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com
