The marquee signage for Voyage of the Little Mermaid has been removed from the front of the theater building, marking another significant step in preparing the space for The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, a fully reimagined theatrical production set to debut in summer 2025.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid entertained guests for nearly three decades, from its debut in January 1992 until its closure in 2020 during the pandemic shutdown. Since then, the theater has remained dormant, with Disney announcing plans for the new The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure in 2024.
The exterior updates are part of a larger refurbishment project to prepare the theater for the upcoming show. According to Disney, The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure will feature stunning new set pieces, cutting-edge effects, and a bold reimagining of the classic story, complete with fan-favorite songs like Part of Your World and Poor Unfortunate Souls.
A construction permit filed earlier this year indicated work on new signage, with Design Communications Ltd. assigned to the project.
While the original Voyage of the Little Mermaid holds a special place in the hearts of Disney fans, The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure aims to deliver a refreshed experience for a new generation of parkgoers. Rehearsals for the show are already underway, with an official opening set for summer 2025.
