This week, Disney began its Princess Week Celebration, and although we have seen many offerings appear for Guests, there is one major entertainment experience that is still missing from the lineup.

Disney has been highlighting different princesses, and today, we saw Disney shine a light on Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
Her unflappable spirit and resilience carry her through her journey of self-discovery, through which she becomes a courageous young woman who discovers her place in the world. That place in the world includes all of our parks and resorts, so let’s take a look at where you can celebrate your favorite mermaid.

The post stated everywhere you can find Ariel at every single Disney Park globally, but at Walt Disney World, one iconic offering remained missing. Of course, Guests can ride Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park, and head to Prince Eric’s Village Market and pick up a Mermaid Tail. You can also see her large statue at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.

But before the pandemic, there were another spot Guests could relive the tale of The Little Mermaid, hear Ariel sing “Part of Your World,” and watch Sebastian, Flounder, Ursula, Prince Eric, and more come to life in front of their eyes. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Voyage of the Little Mermaid has been closed for over a year, with no word on when it will return. Seemingly, this week would have been a great time for Disney to announce the return of this beloved Little Mermaid stage show, but no announcement has been made yet.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios often has long waits for many of their attractions, and shows such as Voyage of the Little Mermaid are perfect for helping alleviate some of the crowds. Without it running, those Guests are now dispersed into other areas and queues within the Park. Another major show, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! remains missing from the Park as well, along with the nighttime spectacular, Fantasmic!
