A classic Hollywood Studios show is returning to the park with a NEW twist!
The original Voyage of the Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid show has been a staple of Hollywood Studios since 1992. Voyage of The Little Mermaid debuted on January 7th of that year, and featured an abridged version of the film’s story, utilizing a mix of live actors, puppets, special effects, and laser projections on the auditorium walls and ceilings to mimic being underwater. This original version of the show ran until 2020, closing along with the rest of Disney World at the onset of the COVID pandemic and never reopening. In December of 2023, Disney confirmed that a new version of the show entitled The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure would replace the original.

We are just ONE week away from the grand opening of Epic Universe! It is hard to believe the time has almost arrived! While we have been enjoying exploring the park during multiple previews, we also can’t wait for the park to be officially open.

There were permits for pyrotechnics, drones, and celebrity guests. Additionally, plans revealed that the TODAY show will be in attendance, and there are also areas outlined for pyro launch and drone launch. That sounds like quite the celebration!
