Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid — Attraction in Bay Lake

To be honest, I didn't really want to go on this ride. I hadn't been to the WDW parks since 2003, but I picked up an annual pass at the end of 2017. Since obtaining the pass, I have been determined to get on as many rides as possible at all the parks.

A Little Mermaid ride? Surely this was going to be dated since this movie came out in 1989! I was wrong. That said, I do have a soft spot for this movie as it came out when I was still a kid.

We had fast passes for this ride and I honestly had no clue where it was even located! We asked around and found it. Wait time wasn't that bad even in the later morning, which I thought was a bad sign.

For some reason the crappy and outdated Peter Pan ride always has a 75 minute wait, so why would this be any better with it's minimal line?

We quickly boarded our clam shell, don't worry, this ride is smooth sailing. I fell in love with this ride right away. You will hear snippets of all of your favorite songs from this fantastic Disney movie.

Certain parts of this ride were just so bright, colorful and FUN! I checked Wiki and this ride opened at the very end of 2012, so that was why it felt so modern. I loved seeing all of the characters from this Disney classic.

I exited the ride really wanting to go on it again. The line was only 15 minutes long, so I went for it.

Definitely check out this ride, especially if you are a Little Mermaid fan. I bet most kids 10 and under will...

A Great ride for kids and fans of The Little Mermaid If you're a fan of The Little Mermaid, Ariel’s Undersea Adventure at Magic Kingdom is an enjoyable and relaxing ride you shouldn’t miss. If you end up waiting in the line, the queue is immersive, with seaside-themed details and even a scavenger crab game to keep you entertained while waiting. There is an inner waiting area for the line before you reach the ride, which is simpler but cool and dark. The ride is a clamshell car that fits 2 comfortably. Once on the ride, you're gently taken through scenes from the movie in a clamshell vehicle, surrounded by bright, colorful animatronics and music from the original soundtrack. The "Under the Sea" scene is a highlight — it's packed with vibrant lights, moving sea creatures, and that catchy tune that is its namesake. They have done a good job on the ride of making you feel like you're part of Ariel’s world. The storytelling is clear, especially for kids, and the pace is slow enough for everyone to enjoy without feeling rushed. It is definitely NOT a thrill ride by any means but it IS a perfect break from the heat and crowds, and a great choice for families with younger children or anyone looking for a dose of nostalgia. Overall, it’s a beautifully done attraction that captures the magic of the movie calmly...

I love the Little Mermaid! This ride was created during the Fantasyland expansion and being a fan I had high expectations for it. I am happy to report that and it did not disappoint.

The ride queue has a lot of details to look at. Ariel is out front as a ships figurehead. As you move through the line you pass Prince Eric's castle and around beaches and waterfalls. Finally you enter a cave filled with Ariel's treasures from the humans. Presiding over it all is Scuttle the Seagull.

Once you reach the ride you board omnimover clam shells that take you through scenes of the movie while it;s iconic songs are played. The final scene is Prince Eric and Ariel's wedding attended by King Triton.

The Little Mermaid movie is one of my favorite Disney films and I feel that they did a great homage to it with this ride. The rooms you pass through are filled with so much detail and all of the highlights from the film are represented. The ride combined with the detail in the queue make this an experience not to be missed. After you finish you can go next door to Ariel's grotto and meet...
