Overview of Voyage of The Little Mermaid
Voyage of The Little Mermaid takes you on a pleasant journey through many of the scenes from the Disney classic, The Little Mermaid. It should be suitable for every age group. It includes live actors, film, large and small puppets, special effects and music from the movie. We consider this a major attraction well worth seeing.
Queue and seating information for Voyage of The Little Mermaid
The outdoor portion of the queue is covered. Guests then enter and wait in a nautical themed room with no seating. It’s air conditioned and dimly lit. The room can feel crowded.
The theater-style seats are relatively comfortable but people of size may find them tight.

Details about Voyage of The Little Mermaid
The theater is dark—at times very dark—though this doesn’t seem designed to cause fear. There’s black lighting on the colorful neon-like puppets. On a couple of occasions a rain drizzles down on the audience. It feels like a lot of water while it’s happening but it’s really a slight sprinkle that dries quickly. It’s brief and doesn’t really soak through clothing. On a hot day it’s a wonderful relief to be in this cool, damp environment. Though the theater is climate controlled, on a cold day it could feel chilly and uncomfortable. The water itself feels cold.
Some bubbles are released from above to simulate water bubbles. There’s an effect on the top of the room with lights and lasers projected on a blanket of fog that gives the appearance of waves, so that you feel like you’re under the sea. The huge, evil, octopus-type character (Ursula from the film) takes the stage, and may scare some sensitive people.
There are other special effects like lightning, a steam effect and loud noises such as thunder sounds. There are some brief flashing lights and twinkling lights.
