I Attended Disney World’s Mermaid School, So Now I'm Basically Ariel
The mermaid floated gently, occasionally flicking her neon tail, her head framed by long dark hair, floating in the water like a halo. That is, until she rolled over, promptly banging her knee on the bottom of the shallow pool. The spell was broken. And let me tell you…that wakeup call...it kinda hurt, being reminded that, yes, I am still a 30-something woman, not a mystical creature.
In March, Disney World Resorts began catering to would-be sirens like me. For only $50 you can strap on a tail at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, or Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, six days a week at 8 a.m. and, at the instruction of the localLike slipping into Spanx of the sea, slithering into my hot pink tail took a bit of negotiation .
At a princess-themed breakfast the day before , I asked the giddy college student playing Ariel what I should know about being a mermaid. “Blow big, whale-sized bubbles,” she told me. While I’m clearly the kind of person to go all-in on a concept , I am also not the most athletic person in the world, probably due to the fact I type for a living.
