Do we have to eat at the restaurant to see her? (We weren't planning to eat there) Is there anywhere else we can see her? We saw Jasmine in a show at the Oasis in Adventureland. But we didn't get any pictures because it was so crowded. Do they still have that show & is this the only location we can see her? Thanks in advance for any help!
Originally Posted By Darkbeer At Disneyland, you can meet Ariel everyday in the afternoon, She is listed on the TIMES Guide, and has a special spot behind the Matterhorn. Jasmine is a hit or miss situation, the best thing to do is to go to the Wait Board at the end of Main Street near the entrance to Adventureland and ask the CM on duty. He/she will call a special hotline and see if she is in the park that day, and when you could see her. Jasmine is one of the characters offered at the Princess Fantasy Faire, near it's a small world, but even if you see her, no guarantee she will be at the meet and greet area when you get to the front of the line.. As for DCA, you could have lunch/dinner at Ariel's Grotto and meet the Post Marriage (aka Human with legs) version of Ariel and 5 other princesses. Jasmine also works here, but she is not guaranteed to be there on a specific day. They do require you to buy a meal to interact with the Princesses. So just go to the Wait Board (or you could go to City Hall or DCA Guest Relations, but those choices tend to have longer lines, the wait board usually has little to no wait) and ask when and where you can find the characters you are interested in seeing.

Originally Posted By nemopoppins Aladdin's Storytale Adventures is an excellent way to see Jasmine. If your daughter really likes Jasmine, it's worth it to see it again because it's so good and it's then a sure thing to be able to get a picture with her later. The line may not take THAT long, and you have to consider that your daughter might be near the front of the line or in the middle which would take even less time.

Originally Posted By liveforvacations As you are going in April, Aladdin's Storytale Adventures is scheduled for several times a day every day so you will be sure to see her. It is a very enjoyable show! However, for anyone going in the "off season", this show is often scheduled only for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays so keep that in mind.
Originally Posted By atigger2 The Princess Fantasy Faire was a great place for my kids to see Jasmine. She spent a lot time with both kids. We had reservations at Ariel's Grotto in CA, but cancelled them when we weighed the difference of spending $80.00 for lunch or standing in line, which for us was about a 15 minute wait and third in line at the Grotto next to the Matterhorn. My daughter saw every Disney Princess except Sleeping Beauty and she was overwhelmed.
