Under The Sea – Journey Of The Little Mermaid

Lines were fairly long for this one but fast track helped. It is a fairly short ride. Typical Disney toddler, preschool age or someone who really likes Ariel or the little mermaid movie. I am judging my 4 stars based on the kids reactions. They weren’t as impressive as some
Of the other experiences.

I really wanted to love this ride, I did… I feel like the only Debbie Downer to have been a little underwhelmed.
I loved everything about the ride… Everything but Ariel herself. She just doesn’t look like Ariel to me. I loved everything else, though and thought that the animatronics were spot on except with the main character which kind of bummed me out a little bit. I LOVED Ursula, I think they nailed that and it actually scared my girlfriend a little haha.
I still think it’s definitely worth waiting in line for because everything was gorgeous apart from Ariel not really being what I imagined. She looked really childlike in some of the parts (I know it’s Disney, but shouldn’t it be more like the movie?) and also her body proportions were a little askew.

Charming. Definitely for the smaller folk, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. It’s The little mermaid movie done in animatronics. You ride through in a seashell, which was a nice break from the heat & tired feet! Sweet kids music from the movie, too. Because of its confusing location and no listing there, there wasn’t much of a line at all. That’s why we tried it.
Once was definitely enough, and it is not a highlight for us. Clientele was Mostly little girls, all with their cute princess dresses and hairdos. Just as charming as the ride itself! I don’t think we need to do it again, however.

One of the most vibrant and colorful rides at Disney. It moves at a perfect speed, it’s thoughtful, modern and full of music. If you play your cards right, you don’t have to wait more than 10 minutes to go on this ride. Most of the time — the 10 minute wait is the length of time it takes to walk the queue. The theming is amazing on this one. One of the best.

i really liked this ride/​show. Great for toddlers. My little nephew loved it. Small ride, hardly takes any time. The lines are not bad, even without the fast pass.

3.5 rounded up, because I quickly understood why they were using this to replace my beloved Hollywood Studios show. Themed line, cute ride, decent animatronics, and WOW that Sebastian/​Under The Sea section! Wouldn’t wait much longer than 20 minutes to do it. But Fast Pass that ish, and enjoy!

Love this ride when I visit California Adventure but this version is even better because the line for the ride goes along with the underwater theme.
I always get a kick out of visiting all my favorite characters from «The Little Mermaid,» including the best villain of all time, Ursula. Definitely worth a visit when you’re at Magic Kingdom park.

Such a beautiful production/​ride. Throughout the entire ride it felt like you were front row at the musical. The animatics and colors were so beautiful and life like. It made my heart beat faster, my stomach flutter and a little teary eyed. It was beautiful and from the look on my 2 year olds face I know she felt the same.
As Christopher K mentioned it should have been a boat ride, this would have been the icing on the cake. But we wnjoyed the shells just as much. This is a must see especially when escaping the summer heat it is climate controlled and dark which really helped recharge us.

This is a ride that’s just OK. It’s cute, has good music, average animation and definitely geared towards little kids. When I say little, I mean little. The technology is very mediocre and the visual effects are just average.
I was totally underwhelmed when I did this and I went back to do this because I hadn’t visited it before. Again, very good for little girls but pretty much nobody else.

So they added this attraction in the ‘new’ Fantasyland area last year and it has been a big favorite for everyone both young and old. Its nice to see that not every ride needs to throw you around the room and make you throw up. This ‘dark’ ride is great for the kids and is much better than the older Snow White Scary Adventure which scared most young kids. I still miss Mr. Todes…
Anyway, Again… try to get a fast pass for this one and the line is super quick. Once you board your shell, they quickly tell the story of the little mermaid without all the drama. The technology they have used is amazing compared to the older attractions. In fact, the entire new fantasyland area is beautiful. When you come out of it and walk back to the older areas, its kind of a let down to see less workmanship.
My favorite part of the ride is Ursula … the figure is wonderful! I also enjoy the under the sea area with so many fun fish! It really makes you want to dance. But what is up with Ariels hair on all her figures? I know she is supposed to be underwater but its just big and freaky! LOL…
Either way, enjoy the effects, the story and all the great tech that makes Under the Sea a wonderful ride for all ages! Enjoy!

This is ride is exactly like the one at DCA in Anaheim, so unless you and/​or your kids or travel companion are die-​hard fans, I’d say you’re not missing out on anything.
We rode this ride just to kill time, since I wanted to take pictures with Gaston near his tavern and the cast member said he’d be back in an hour.
The line was crazy long, and the queue had some cute interactive things.
Anyway, the ride is like their classic movie rides, where it goes through the whole movie in less than 10 minutes! On this ride, you’re sitting a cute clam shell thing, which of course — fits in with the Little Mermaid theme!

Yes, yes, yes… this is another Disney «dark ride» where you ride along and see different scenes/​animatronics, but I don’t care, I absolutely love it and it gets 5 full stars from me!
You climb about your shell and off you go under the sea; I really do feel like I’m going under the sea. It’s just so cool. As you ride through, various songs are playing from the movie (love it and yes, I sing along). The animatronics are outstanding, but that’s probably expected, it is Disney we’re talking about. All the colours are so very bright and vibrant.
Every time I ride this, I’m all giddy and it makes me feel like a little kid again! My husband gets the biggest kick out of watching me while we’re on this thing. :D If I love it this much, then kids most certainly will love it!

Disneyland actually doesn’t have this ride, so it was a treat to try something new. It’s basically a «classic» Disney ride where you simply sit down in a moving chair and see all the sights that are presented to you.
This time it’s Little Mermaid and you go through the entire movie with animatronics in the span of a few minutes. You’ll see dancing fishes and everything the movie has to offer which was pretty neat. There is almost no wait time and it’s a quick ride so overall, it’s a pretty solid experience.
If you’re a Little Mermaid fan you must check this ride out or else!
