Musical stage show combining special effects, live performances, puppetry, and clips from the classic Disney film The Little Mermaid. Suitable for all ages, although the Ursula parts can be a bit harrowing for the younger set.

Being male, I shouldn't like this. But its a nice show to watch, not just because Ariel is gorgeous! - James McGee

You can FastPass this attraction which is always handy. A welcome break from the heat and a chance to sit down. All that aside the show itself is very enjoyable; yes they've cut the story down but I wasn't expecting to sit there for two hours anyway! The puppets are good and the special FX are great; Ursula is quite a sight! - Ben Price

In all honesty, it depends on which Ariel you get. The show can range from magical to mediocre all depending on her! - Sarah Durden

A fairly decent show if the lines are not too long and you need a break from the heat. As others stated, it is rather abbreviated but the musical numbers they do present are well done. My 7 year old niece enjoyed it, but expected a little more. Towards the end, she leaned over and whispered "why are they skipping so much ?". - Ed Newman

This is a pleasant show but anybody expecting a thorough retelling of the Little Mermaid film will be disappointed. The show is basically three songs from the film and a very abridged recap of the story that takes a few liberties with the plot. The music and songs in the Little Mermaid are so strong anyway that this show is worth a watch. There's some nice special effects and the Under the Sea sequence is done really well. - David Wilcock

Its an OK show. Basiclly TLM on stage. Effects are good. Only ride if you have a fastpass for Toy Story Mania or if your dying to see it. 6/10 - Dominick D

A good show that could use a little updating. Growing up watching this film it's nice to be able to go and see it live years after the fact. - Brandie S

Good for young kids. My 2 1/2 year old really liked it and talked about Ariel for some time after we left the show. Rain inside the theater is cool. Definitely aimed toward kids--not adults or teens. - Camille Kirk

Enjoyable. I suppose it depends if you like the star of the show or not! - Mark Moore
