‘The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure’ Opens in Late May at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney has announced that The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure will open on May 27, 2025, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This attraction is inspired by Disney’s classic The Little Mermaid. The show, which has been completely reimagined from the previous version, will take audiences to locations like Ariel’s treasure trove. Guests can expect lively puppets, props, and dazzling scenery center stage. Don’t be surprised if you encounter a few jaw-dropping effects and leave humming a few new-to-the-show songs!

The following excerpt from the Disney Parks Blog answers a few questions about the new musical adventure.
What is “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” about?
Nestled in Animation Courtyard, Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, Prince Eric, and more will take to the stage to retell the classic story of The Little Mermaid. This fully reimagined show will feature stunning set pieces, imaginative costumes, cutting-edge effects, skillful puppetry, and a bold new design aesthetic that captures Ariel’s imagination and emotions through her unique view of the world around her.
What songs will be included in the reimagined show?
They say life is better down where it’s wetter for a reason. And that’s because audiences will once again get to hear “Under the Sea” and “Part of Your World” as part of the performance. Plus, two new new-to-this-theater musical numbers will debut, “Daughters of Triton” and “Kiss the Girl.” Don’t try to hide it — you’ll want to hum along.
When does “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” begin performances?
Swim on down to Hollywood Studios for May 27 (or jump on the Skyliner, or take a bus or boat) for these performances to kick off! With multiple showtimes each day, you’ll have plenty of chances to experience this, guppies.
