Yesterday, “The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure” soft opened at Disney California Adventure for the first time to guests. We were on the scene and got video of both the queue, and the full ride. If you don’t want this attraction spoiled for you, I wouldn’t watch. However, if you want a look at what the fine people at Walt Disney Imagineering are capable of these days, this video is certainly worth a view. Enjoy:       Stay Tuned to Disneyland News Today as we continue to cover the opening of “The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure” and all attractions opening during Soundsational...

Yet another inside look at the almost complete Undersea Adventure from the Disney Parks Blog: I know “The Little Mermaid” fans have been eagerly awaiting the opening of The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure park. I’ve been waiting since I first saw the movie back in 1989! There are three other people who’ve also been hoping that someday a Little Mermaid attraction would open at Disney Parks: legendary Disney animators Glen Keane, Mark Henn and Andreas Deja. These three talented men are some of the creative minds behind all those lovable characters in the movie. Recently, Walt Disney Imagineers Larry Nikolai and Chris Crump gave the animators a tour of the new attraction. I was lucky enough to also be on...

From the Disney Parks Blog: There’s so much happening around here! This week I debated what to blog about but decided to pick a topic that would be the envy of those on land and at sea. With just under a month to go before the opening of Disney California Adventure park’s newest attraction, The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, I thought I’d show you some of the treasures, thingamabobs and whatchamacallit’s that you can look forward to finding in some of our nearby stores. First up on the list of ‘must have’ items would have to be the apparel. Not only will you make a splash when you hit the streets in your Little Mermaid inspired clothing, but now your little ones can, too! Like to accessorize? My pick is definitely the Little...

Neat little video from the Disney Parks Blog: We love time lapse footage around here! It shows how much progress we’re making! In this time lapse you’ll see the façade of The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure in various stages of construction. You’ll notice at the beginning of the video – over to the right of the screen – the Palace of Fine Arts rotunda, originally the entrance to the former “Golden Dreams” attraction. Walt Disney Imagineers incorporated it into the new architecture. As the video progresses, you’ll see King Triton placed atop the arch, surrounded by relief carvings of six of Ariel’s six older sisters: Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana. The architecture is modeled after buildings found on...

I was at the Disneyland Resort the past 3 days and captured quite a bit of newsworthy photos to share. Photos include The Little Mermaid, Cars Land, Pirates 4 Premiere, and much much more… The new DCA turnstile complex coming along The Emporium is still undergoing a facade refurbishment Star Tours The new sign was installed a few weeks ago Because Star Tours Fastpass is taking over the Buzz machines, The Astro Blaster wait time sign has been modified to just include stand-by times. (It didn’t work all 3 days I was there) The new Star Tours Fastpass machines are themed to Gonk Droids Star Trader is still closed while it revives its refurbishment Work walls in Frontierland The Mark Twain/Columbia dock was closed...
