It is up where Ariel would be - Ariel is now over in the Princess Fantasy Faire wearing her dress. Or of course at Ariels Grotto in DCA. It is between Buzz and the Matterhorn

To some, but those waits can also be found at Princess Fantasy Faire for its Meet and Greet Photo/Autograph area.

I stopped by for a very brief visit earlier today just to walk around Disneyland and it ended up being the official opening day for Pixie Hollow after a day or two of soft opening. I just wanted to zoom through it and take a couple pictures but I played by the rules and waited in line. Everyone was nice and didn't act like it was weird for a lone guy to go through and basically I ended up with a photo album here (~24 photos): <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cziebarth/sets/72157608460961568/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c...0961568/</a>

That is to make you smaller so you'll be small enough to enter Tink's world by the time you get to the front of the line. And the way the speakers are set up it really sounds like it is going over you.
Originally Posted By -PLP- I worked Pixie Hollow on sunday and the line was always full. It is a solid 60 min. wait and then there is a photo op with the Fairies and then with Tink. Be aware that Tink leaves just before the parade but she does return and I believe that it closes at 5pm but it would be wise to ask a CM to make sure. I had a lady get upset because it was closed and she was on her last day of vacation. Like it was my fault. LOL I thought they did a cool job with the area and there is some lighting that will be added to the fountain area where King Triton was. And the Tink & Fairies that I met on sunday were excellent. Of course this is just my opinion and I am sure that there will be people that will tear this apart too. Enjoy your day. -PegLegPete- The Happiest Custodian at The Happiest Place on Earth!!

I was hoping all the fairies would be there at the same time. Is it the case that they alternate? anyone know if you can get the schedule? I don't mind waiting if it is to meet the long haired red head.
Originally Posted By -PLP- Hi Dave...yes the Fairies rotate but they are not gone for long. And yes the long haired red head is a cutie. LOL As for my comment about people tearing this new location apart, I should have stated I meant verbally. Sorry 'bout that...
Originally Posted By Brer Human PLP, it seemed like all the cast members that were there when I was handled everything very well and professionally.

The only minor quibble I have with it is that I was expecting to walk through it, snap a couple pictures, and get out of there. Didn't realize it was going to be a thing that's entirely based on getting your photo taken so I felt a little odd going through it as a guy who happened to be there on his own for a random AP Disneyland stop. I wondered if they thought, "So, this guy in his thirties can't wait to get his picture taken with the fairies." Anyways, no biggie, I played along with it.

Now I can add fairies to the G rated list.

Now thats cold...LOL I mean we don't hold hands or sit close to each other but she thinks it's funny... But like Seinfeld says: "Not that there's anything wrong with that!!"...
Originally Posted By Brer Human Okay, thanks. Good to hear a comment from somebody with the same perspective as me but with a CM's perspective added to it.
