2019 Ariel 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Doll - Disney Parks Diamond Castle Collection - Disneyland Purchase - Deboxed

            I finally caved and got the Disney Parks Ariel LE Doll from Disneyland today, the 4th of the July. I got her from Disneyana on Main Street. They only had one on display, but they got one for me from the back, in an unopened shipping carton. The shipping carton said 2073 of 3000, but there is no evidence of a Certificate of Authenticity for the doll itself. Although I haven't deboxed the doll yet, I did take the front plastic cover off. 

She is $129.99, the same as last year's Disney Parks Pink Aurora 60th Anniversary LE Doll, which was the first doll in the Diamond Castle Collection. I got 20% off with my Annual Pass discount, so the cost was $103.99, or $112.05 with tax. 

She is less detailed than LE 17 inch dolls by the Disney Store, and even previous Disney Parks LE dolls.  In particular, she doesn't have rooted eyelashes.  She doesn't have any rhinestones in the fabric of her dress (but there are stones in the brooch in the bodice).  There is embroidery in the skirt near the hem, but none in the over-skirt.  There is no decoration or jewelry in her hair.  There is no display stand, and no CoA.  But she is a very pretty doll.

She has a three layered skirt: light green sheer overskirt that is mostly covering the back and is open in the front, green organza main skirt that has glitter overlay and light green embroidery on the bottom. and light teal satin underskirt. The glitter appears to be well glued and sheds very little. There is also a single layer tulle petticoat. She has teal high heeled shoes that match the color of her jewelry. She has the same body as Disney Parks Pink Aurora and older Disney Store LE 17 inch dolls: fixed ankles angled for high heels, and a chest joint that permits limited side to side and front to back bending of her upper torso. As with Disney Parks Pink Aurora, she has no manufacturer's stampings of her edition number or size on her back.

She doesn't come with a display stand, and isn't very stable free standing. So I borrowed a saddle stand from one of my Disney Store LE dolls for the supporting Ariel after deboxing her.
