Published on 5/17/25 by Craig Smith

At Hollywood Studios, anticipation is building for the debut of The Little Mermaid A Musical Adventure, opening May 27th.

Disney shared a first look at the show, which blends puppetry, live performance, and projection effects to tell Ariels story in a fresh way.

A sneak peek this week featured Jodi Benson, the original voice of Ariel, who previewed the updated take on the beloved classic.

This show replaces the long-running Voyage of the Little Mermaid and brings an exciting new energy to the Animation Courtyard.

Performances are scheduled from 9:15 AM to 7:15 PM daily, and Lightning Lane access is confirmed so plan ahead if you want to guarantee your seat.
