very pretty!
There was nice a LiveJournal article Once Upon A Wedding Spring 2011: Ariel & Cinderella on the Disney Store releases early this year of the Cinderella and Ariel Once Upon a Wedding Dolls. Looks like they were released in stores in January (Cinderella) and February (Ariel) of this year, and online in February and April. They were sold for $19.50. The Disney Store still has the old product pages for Cinderella and Ariel. They also released sets of the Princesses and Princes in wedding outfits. Here are a couple of product images:Once Upon a Fairy Tale Wedding Cinderella Doll
Ok so I thought this was going to be Like the designer collection but it looks like it's just going to be one of those dolls that are 12.50. You can google "once upon a fairy tale wedding doll" and you can see Cinderella, also there's an Ariel
The products look like they have been sold out since June, but Cinderella at least can be had on eBay for a decent price. I just got one myself.
I just received my Disney Once Upon a Wedding Ariel Doll! She is brand new, in an unopened box, and looks fabulous! I took a few photos of her still in the box. I will debox her soon, and share the photos. I got her for only $29.95, with free shipping, from a reseller on Amazon. I also bought a Once Upon a Wedding Cinderella, from eBay, and should get her any day now.
Here are a couple of photos of my Disney Once Upon a Wedding Ariel Doll unboxed:
It's also so interesting to see the three Ariel dolls next to each other, because you can see that the base doll is the same, and only the outfits are different (as well as the makeup, hairstyling, and eyelashes on Designer Ariel). But there is no mistaking that this is the same girl. I can't wait to see your Once Upon a Wedding Cinderella!Thanks, Shivatopia. I expect to get Wedding Cinderella next Wednesday. Meanwhile, here's another couple of photos of my Wedding Ariel, together with the other Ariel dolls.Once Upon a Wedding Ariel looks fabulous! I am so loving the ruffles of her skirt.
I just got two new Ariels, a Mermaid Ariel and a Wedding Ariel, yesterday (Saturday) at the Disneyland Resort. They are both labeled as The Little Mermaid, rather than as Ariel, and are part of the Disney Parks Collection. They are co-released by Disney Theme Parks Merchandise and EuroDisney (Disneyland Paris). They both come in semi-cylindrical tubes, and sell for $17.95.
One is Ariel as a mermaid. She is wearing a shimmering green gauze skirt and a large green starfish shaped hair clip with a green jewel. She also comes with a purple hairbrush with a green jewel. She has been the regular 12'' Ariel available at DLR for a while now.
The other Ariel is dressed as a bride. She is in a white satin and gauze wedding dress with blue trim, and gauze veil. There is glitter on the veil and outer gauze skirt. She is also wearing a tiara with a blue jewel, and comes with a white brush with a blue jewel. According to the Disney CM, she become available only recently. Her appearance and her dress are not quite as pretty as the Once Upon a Wedding Ariel, but I am very happy I got her.
Here is a photo of these two Ariels, followed by another where they are joined by the Once Upon a Wedding Ariel:

Thanks for the info. I guess the Disney Parks wedding Ariel isn't a brand new release, but she's new to me.
I like her mermaid outfit too. Her whole look is exotic, and I like the hair curling around her right wrist.
