Voyage of the Little Mermaid is done, won't reopen with the parks.

The space yes, but that area is so exhibit based with multiple smaller buildings that it would be easier just to clear the land for any addition like that.

That’s exactly what they’d do.
I don't want Monsters, but at this point I would be impressed if they actually built a new building to house an uncloned dark ride. As, that plot is where Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway was once supposedly planned and the company does not seem interested in that anymore.

No new info.
I know Disney had recall rights for cast members that expires at the end of the year. This show looks toast.

Recall rights go through October 2022 for character performers and end of 2022 for Equity.

I know the attraction was old and dated (80's tech laser show, really?). But, our family loved it. I think it's because my DW's favorite movie is The Little Mermaid. I think she owns every t-shirt and ornament Disney and Hallmark made. While we like the ride at MK, a live show -- no matter how dated -- is better. We still miss it and a pin celebrating it just rubs that in for us.

It’s more than a little tacky.
But I’d wait 7 hours for an exclusive Horizons 40th anniversary pair of underwear.
Don't give them any ideas! We all know how they love to leverage nostalgia for quick merchandising wins. Guessing the pin is just another one of these, or it was planned to be released in advance of the show closing.

But it’s perfectly set up for TikTok! “How’s this extinct ride make my butt look?”

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I still kind of hope it’ll reopen for a proper goodbye

Considering it's a performance that requires trained actors instead of just dusting off the projector and hitting play. I doubt it.

So does the cast.
At the end of the day, aside from Indy, it is still superior to anything else that is operating as a daily live performer production in that park. Great indoor themed theater with pretty entertaining puppetry. It only left first because it is more costly than Beauty and The Beast.

Where did you hear this? It only requires 1 equity Performer and 9 character performers. It's significantly cheaper to run per show than B&B and is more valuable to operations because it can run continuously. The ONLY reason it is still in limbo is because it is impossible to do a distanced version of the show - just ask Ursula about that one. They can't decide the future of the stage until it is possible to bring it back.

Correct, that corner of the park is hurting without it, it does huge numbers and I’m sure they would love to have it up ASAP from a park Ops point of view. There apparently were/have been plans for it but the latest variant I think put a delay in that.
