BAY LAKE, Fla. – In an exciting announcement, Disney Live Entertainment on Tuesday unveiled “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure,” a reimagined show inspired by the timeless Walt Disney classic.
Set to debut in the newly revitalized Animation Courtyard theater in fall 2024 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney said the production marks a significant leap in its commitment to enhancing the Parks experience. The new show replaces “Voyage of The Little Mermaid,” which has been closed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
