UPDATE: Opening dates for The Little Mermaid and Mickey’s Soundsational Parade have been announced.
The dark ride adventure will take guests “under the sea” to experience familiar scenes and songs from the popular motion picture. It’s the next big milestone in the ongoing expansion of the park.
Meanwhile, across the esplanade at Disneyland Park, Mickey’s Soundsational Parade will also debut this summer, featuring live musicians and plenty of characters up and down Main Street, U.S.A. moving to melodies from Disney films.

Disney also announced today that Star Tours: The Adventures Continue will not reopen at Disneyland until June, so it’s possible all three attractions will premiere at the same time, or within days of each other.
