Under the Sea – Journey of The Little Mermaid Temporarily Closed at Magic Kingdom, Reopening Likely Today

Overview

• The Walt Disney World website lists the attraction as "currently closed" for refurbishment.
• Official schedules show operating times for February 12, pointing to what appears to be a short closure.
• Disney has not specified the scope of work, and reporting cites typical one-day upkeep such as lighting, projection, animatronic calibration, and ride system checks.
• The family dark ride opened in 2012 as part of New Fantasyland, set in Prince Eric’s castle with Audio-Animatronics portraying scenes from the 1989 film.
• This brief pause occurs during major Magic Kingdom changes, including permanent waterfront closures for the planned Piston Peak National Park and development of a Villains Land, with prior single-day refurbishments at the resort as precedent.
