Exciting Changes at Walt Disney World: The Little Mermaid Show and Lightning Lane Updates

Walt Disney World continues to enhance the guest experience with exciting updates and offerings. One of the most anticipated changes is the launch of The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, which will now feature a Tier 2 Lightning Lane Multi Pass option at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This update aims to improve guest access to one of the park’s charming shows, reflecting the resort’s commitment to providing memorable experiences. Starting August 20, guests using the Lightning Lane Multi Pass will be able to select this delightful performance for visits commencing September 11.

The Little Mermaid show, which opened in May, successfully fills the void left by the now-closed Muppet*Vision 3D attraction on the Lightning Lane list. This transition to Lightning Lane signifies Disney’s effort to incorporate beloved stories into its offerings while ensuring that guests can make the most of their time in the parks.
