Last Signs of “Voyage of the Little Mermaid” Removed for New Show “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”. A completely reimagined stage show within the Animation Courtyard Theater called “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” is set to premiere this summer of 2025. This new production promises to breathe fresh life into the beloved animated classic, featuring iconic songs like “Part of Your World,” “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” and “Kiss the Girl.”
To make way for the new show, the old has to be removed, and that is what is going on in the Animation Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The large marquee was removed back in January. Now the rest of the signage has been removed, including the large billboard that could be seen from the Chinese Theater area. It made a great backdrop to take images of the Hollywood Studios Archway.
The marquee sat on top of the entranceway with sculpted Ariel, King Triton, Flounder, and Sebastian the Crab, with a backdrop featuring Ursula is now completely removed. We recently saw Disney replace the banner that had faded over time. The billboard featured Ariel sitting on a rock in the ocean, surrounded by King Triton, Ursula, Flounder, and Sebastian the Crab, with the logo for Voyage of the Little Mermaid.
The show building has not been used since March 15th, 2020, the day Walt Disney World closed due to the pandemic. Voyage of the Little Mermaid just never reopened. Rumors persisted that the building was in disrepair, which was never proven. Fans of one of Disney Imagineering’s best animatronics, Ursula the Sea Witch, wondered if we would ever get to see it in action again.
