voyage of the little mermaid rehab

The mermaid show is a classic, i worked there while in the college program last fall. they are now going in to fix it up and make it a better show and more accessible. i think this will be a definate plus. :sohappy:

Oh No! Vince, close your eyes!!

Rehab? Closed for good? Sorry, I guess I'm a little out of the mermaid loop.

Voyage is one of my favorite attractions. I can still remember waiting in line to get in on my first trip to disney after it had just opened. I wonder what type of things they will be rehabing. from what I've heard it hasn't been down since it opened. That's got to be a record or something.

while i worked at the show from aug2002-jan2003 i heard talk about adding to the show, adding the song "kiss the girl" and they are making it more wheelchair accessible, and they are changing the que as well. it went down on jan 6 and is gonna be down for 6 months. it should be there for your next trip!!!! enjoy!

I really enjoy this show...good mix of live actions, animatronics and video. Its amazing what they can do with shows these days.

One strange thing we noticed last time we were there, was a ton of parents having to leave with hysterical children. It was a little shocking as there isn't much scary stuff in the show and its not way dark in the theater.

I can't believe how often this thing seems to be closed for rehab...or maybe that's just my imagination?

yeah, working there i was the person who actually escorted the parents and children out......it is frustrating at times considering while the show is on we are loading the other room for the next show...along with some other things......but, yeah, many people want to leave during the show.

I'm sorry, you seem to have gotten some incorrect info. They were going to add Kiss the Girl but have since decided against it (they also talked about doing this for the re-release of The Little Mermaid in theaters a couple of years ago. The show went down Jan 5th and was only scheduled to be down for two months so it should be back up early March.

For those of you asking why the show keeps going down, management told us back in 2001 that there would be a two part rehab to the stage. The show has been up for over ten years and last year was the first rehab.
