Sunday, January 30th

  • 11 a.m.
    Meet at Spoodles

We will walk over to the Beach Club and the first annual Arielcon sandcastle building contest will be held! After playing in the sand we will go to Beaches and Cream and start a new tradition and all share a Kitchen sink. What is a kitchen sink you might ask? Well you will just have to wait and sea. This will replace the infamous eating desserts around the world at Epcot.

We will then walk out to the Bronze Ariel statue at the Beach Club and take our final pictures. There I will hand out all the pictures and final awards and sadly adjourn Arielcon 2005.

The cost for all of this great fun is a mere $40.00. Park admission is not included in this. The one pin set alone you are going to receive is worth $40.00 and was only available on the pin cruise! Talk about getting your monies worth!

This is not associated with the Disney Company in any way shape or form. It is just a bunch of really wonderful people getting together to share their common love of The Little Mermaid. If you are under the age of 18 I ask that you bring an adult with you and make sure to get their permission.

That's the boring stuff......Hit the print button and lets go have fun!!!
