We’ve been trying to keep up with everything going on in Magic Kingdom, but y’all, it’s a LOT. We’ve got construction walls around Rivers of America, which closed recently to make way for a Frontierland Cars expansion. We’ve got construction happening over at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad…and BEHIND Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We’ve got a closing date for a huge refurbishment for a ride in Tomorrowland.
Over in Fantasyland, one ride, Under The Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid, closed recently for a short refurbishment. Now, that ride was supposed to reopen yesterday, July 26th, but didn’t. However, we’ve got great news: Under The Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid seems to be open today.
This morning, we checked hours for Under The Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid, and it was showing hours on the website (from park open to close). NOW, we actually saw hours for the ride yesterday, though, when it wasn’t open. However, the ride is also showing that it’s open on the My Disney Experience app and currently has a wait time. Yesterday, the app showed that the ride was still temporarily closed.
So it looks you’ll be able to join Ariel and revisit her story on Under The Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid once again as of now. I’ve been on this ride numerous times, and my favorite thing to do after riding it is to visit Ariel’s Grotto to meet The Little Mermaid herself. Maybe she’ll even show you how to use a dinglehopper. Ariel should be there most of the day, but you’ll want to check the My Disney Experience app for her hours.
Ariel fans will also not want to miss out on the NEW The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure show in Hollywood Studios.
