Coming Attractions

New experiences are headed your way this summer at the Disneyland Resort.

At Disney California Adventure™ park, get ready for an all-new voyage with one of Disney’s most beloved characters, Ariel. The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure will invite guests to take a journey under the sea to experience all the fun and adventures in Ariel’s world. From the great songs to state-of-the-art animatronics and special effects, guests will become a part of her world in a way that’s never happened before.  It is scheduled to open June 3.

The Little Mermaid attraction is the next big milestone in the expansion of Disney California Adventure™ park.  World of Color debuted last year and continues to wow guests every night with magic that combines choreographed fountains, lights, lasers, music, animation and storytelling. And on the horizon, guests can see the awesome Cadillac Mountain range taking shape as the backdrop to the 12-acre Cars Land, which opens in 2012.
