UPDATE: Disney announces 'The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure' coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2024

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

Plans are underway to open a new version of Voyage of the Little Mermaid at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World.

The original Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show, which debuted on January 7, 1992, had its final performance in 2020 and did not reopen from the pandemic shutdown of Walt Disney World.

Disney has not yet confirmed the show's return, but we expect an official announcement of Voyage of the Little Mermaid's comeback very soon.

Despite being closed for more than three years, the Voyage of the Little Mermaid marquee has remained in place on the outside of the building. Some freshening up of the exterior and interior can be expected ahead of the relaunch.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid's imminent return will be a big boost for Disney's Hollywood Studios, bringing much-needed capacity to a park that has seen significant attendance increases since the addition of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land. Disney sees adding more live entertainment as an answer to offering guests more to do between experiencing the high-demand E-ticket attractions.

While we expect official confirmation of Voyage of the Little Mermaid soon, there is still more to come at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Stay tuned.

    Despite being somewhat of a hater to both of these projects, I'm visiting HS 6/12 2nd half of the day, and would love to see Villains, if not both shows. Glad to see this is on schedule :)!

    On X, looks like Rolling Planters are now at Mermaid.

    I wish they'd just make it an enclosed waiting area. That's be nice. (In the long run when the hype dies down)

    Looks like work has started on the theater queue:

    I’m so excited for this one! Going in November, just me and my 10 year old. She does not like big rides. So our day usually consists of Toy Story Mania, Alien Saucers and Runaway Railway 😂 We love the B&B show and the Frozen show. It’s great we will now have this and Villains show as well. And Fantasmic of course. We can enter mid morning and still have a full day!

    Please open some of the shops attached to this building so this area stops looking like a dead mall
