A fully reimagined show has just made its long-anticipated debut at Walt Disney World: “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure!”
Following the March 2020 closure of Walt Disney World, the “Voyage of the Little Mermaid” inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios remained closed for many years. Turns out, Disney had a full rework and technical overhaul of the musical in mind, which is now complete! Today, the Little Mermaid theater officially welcomed guests back with all-new magic.
Featuring live stage performers, puppets, and new digital imagery, guest feedback so far on the new musical has been quite positive!
The Little Mermaid’s vocal lead from the 1989 film, Jodi Benson, visited the cast shortly before the attraction’s premiere.

This updated version of the musical retains many of the same songs including “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls.” Joining the mix with all-new sequences are “Daughters of Triton” and “Kiss the Girl!”
Guests with a Lightning Lane Multi-Pass can book a Lightning Lane for the attraction under Tier 2. The show has a substantial runtime of almost 30 minutes!
Showtimes are 10 a.m., 10:40 a.m., 11:20 a.m., 12 p.m., 12:40 p.m., 1:20 p.m., 2 p.m., 2:40 p.m., 3:20 p.m., 4 p.m., 4:40 p.m., 5:20 p.m., 6 p.m., 6:40 p.m., 7:20 p.m. and 8 p.m.
July 28, 2025 Update: Outside the musical venue, Disney has announced a massive overhaul to the Animation Courtyard, closing off virtually the entire area. However, “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” will remain guest-accessible during this major reimagining to a portion of Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
