According to a new announcement from Disney, guests will soon be able to experience Voyage of the Little Mermaid once again at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Voyage of the Little Mermaid told the story of Disney’s classic film The Little Mermaid (1989) in an incredibly fun and unique way, featuring real-life actors and singers, as well as creative uses of puppets. The show became a fan-favorite of the park, offering guests a much-needed break from the action of the rest of the park.

The Walt Disney World Resort is home to so many incredible and magical experiences that it can be hard to keep count. From Magic Kingdom and EPCOT to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, there’s no end in sight to all of the wonderful things you can do at “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” However, just like any other amusement park destination, such as SeaWorld, Universal Studios, or Six Flags, sometimes these rides and attractions must close down.

The original Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show debuted on January 7, 1992, and remained part of the theme park for decades. The attraction shut down during the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 and, unfortunately, never returned. Despite the attraction’s building being left the exact same, Disney remained silent on Voyage of the Little Mermaid. However, Disney is planning on bringing this iconic experience to the theme park, this time in a new and exciting way.
