Disney hollywood studios voyage of the little mermaid

Voyage of the Little Mermaid is another Walt Disney World show taken from the movie. Come see Ariel, Flounder and all the others as they prove that good will always triumph over evil (at least in Disney movies).

This is one of the few remaining opening-day attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

The Preshow

Disney usually has great preshows, but not here. You stand in line outside (unless you’re lucky enough to be in thesmall indoor section of the queue that’s decorated like the hold of a ship), then you walk into the theater. Lines can get very long, but every show seats 500, so lines disappear rapidly a few times an hour.

The Attraction

Come and join Ariel under the sea as she makes her journey from a mermaid to a real girl (or something like that). The show tells a condensed version of the movie. It you haven’t seen the movie, you can watch the show. It’s a cliff notes version.

The show combines video with live action. All of the characters from the movie are in the show. Sebastian, Flounder, Ariel and Ursula all show up. And there are a few cool glow in the dark effects. And bubbles, naturally.

Video

Here’s a video from the show that shows how the live action works with the video.

Dad’s Bottom Line Come on guys, suck it up. It’s a cute little show. The kids will love you forever.

As Disney continues to evaluate their phased reopening plans, BlogMickey.com has learned that the plan is to keep the Voyage of the Little Mermaid show permanently closed.

The show, which has been running at Disney’s Hollywood Studios since 1992, was reportedly under consideration to take a final bow before the COVID-19 pandemic shut the parks down. Between the extended closure and ongoing battle with the Actors’ Equity union, Disney has decided to end the show rather unceremoniously, we’re told.

As you can see in the photos below, the queue was never marked for social distancing, an indication that there were no plans to reopen the show when the theme parks reopened, we were told by Cast Members in the area. As a matter of fact, other shows have had social distancing markers in place for when the union stalemate comes to an end.

First, here’s a look at Voyage of the Little Mermaid has it sits today, followed by the other Hollywood Studios shows that have social distancing markers in place (although they remain temporarily closed).

Here is a look at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, complete with queue and seating social distancing markers.

Set pieces sit waiting for the Cast to return.

Over at the Frozen Sing-Along, queue stickers and pre-show dots are in place.

At Beauty and the Beast, we can find extensive queue markers and we’re told that the stadium seating is also marked like Indiana Jones above.

Of course, the all-new Disney Junior Play and Dance show that features all non-equity Cast Members has markings as well.

As with any rumor, you should treat this information as unofficial unless and until Disney confirms it.
