The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure is set to open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in time for summer travelers to enjoy. This musical retelling of the story of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Little Mermaid will be opening on May 27, 2025.
The show has been completely reimagined and promises to take guests on a beautiful adventure under the sea with favorite puppets, props, and scenery center stage. The new parts of the show include new digital puppetry and jaw-dropping effects. There will also be new-to-the-show songs added as well!

Along with sharing the release date for The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, Disney also shared some answers to common questions guests might have ahead of its opening. Check out these questions and answers here:
What is “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” about?
Nestled in Animation Courtyard, Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, Prince Eric, and more will take to the stage to retell the classic story of The Little Mermaid. This fully reimagined show will feature stunning set pieces, imaginative costumes, cutting-edge effects, skillful puppetry, and a bold new design aesthetic that captures Ariel’s imagination and emotions through her unique view of the world around her.
