I really don't think they could have fit anything else into Season 2 as it is... remember, they wanted to do Aladdin last season too, and it was pushed back. At this point, Aladdin is more likely to debut on'' Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.... ''hence, his delay.

There originally was a plan for Ariel, in the second half of Season 2. While the season did become overstuffed; JoAnna Garcia's pregnancy probably also played a part, in the delay. There were rumors, during Season 1, that the show wanted her to portray Ariel.
