Deep under the sea at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California, a magical adventure awaits! “The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure” takes visitors into the world of Ariel, the curious mermaid from Disney’s 1989 movie. Opened on June 3, 2011, this ride brings her story to life with music, colorful scenes, and unforgettable characters.
Before entering, guests will see a beautiful building resembling an underwater palace. A giant mural at the entrance shows scenes from the movie, giving a sneak peek of the fun ahead. Once inside, visitors hop into clam-shaped ride vehicles called “clam-mobiles” and slowly dive under the sea as music from the film fills the air.
The ride takes guests through some of the movie’s most famous moments. In Ariel’s grotto, she sings “Part of Your World” while surrounded by her collection of human treasures. Next comes the bright and cheerful “Under the Sea” scene, where Sebastian leads a fun ocean dance party with glowing fish and sea creatures. Things get a little spooky in Ursula’s lair, where the sea witch towers over guests with flashing lights and eerie effects. Finally, the ride ends with a romantic boat scene where Ariel and Prince Eric float through a glowing lagoon as “Kiss the Girl” plays.
Disney’s attention to detail makes this ride extra special. The characters look and move like they do in the movie, making everything feel real. The ride is also designed so that everyone can enjoy it, including guests with disabilities.
To have the best experience, visiting early or using Disney’s FastPass system to skip long lines is a good idea. After the ride, there’s even more fun nearby in Paradise Gardens Park, where visitors can find yummy food, live music, and character meet-and-greets. “The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure” is a must-see for anyone who loves Disney magic, music, and undersea fun!
