Most things have gone back to normal in Disney World since the pandemic-related closures in 2020.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
However, there’s one attraction that NEVER reopened, and at this point, we’re starting to wonder if it ever will!
Voyage of the Little Mermaid in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Voyage of the Little Mermaid is a stage show located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

It closed with the rest of the parks in 2020 for the pandemic-related shut-down, but even after the parks reopened and the rest of the entertainment slowly returned as well, this attraction remained closed.
Still closed
The show told the story of The Little Mermaid with both actors and puppets (that giant Ursula puppet was especially impressive).
Disney hasn’t announced when or if the Voyage of the Little Mermaid will reopen. However, we have some hope for the show. Disney released this new pin in March 2022 celebrating the 30th anniversary of the attraction, which seems like something they wouldn’t do if they were going to close the show for good.

And although the large billboard outside the attraction was missing for a while in late 2020…

…it returned a little while later after a short refurbishment. Disney likely wouldn’t put the work into updating that sign if the attraction were permanently gone.

Although we haven’t heard anything definitive about Voyage of the Little Mermaid, we have hope that it could reopen sometime in the future! We’ll be sure to let you know about any updates
