Are you disappointed that it won't be closed for your upcoming visit? TCD To be honest, yes. Although it is nice to always have a place to go inside and sit for a bit with no lines.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid reopened this morning reopened this morning and WDWMagic has videos posted of what they're calling "show scene upgrades"... http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/ariels-adventure/news/04mar2015-video---under-the-sea---journey-of-the-little-mermaid-reopens-from-refurbishment-with-show-scene-upgrades.htm Improvements have been made throughout the attraction, including more sea creature figures throughout some of the more sparse scenes and new improved lighting. Early criticism of the ride, which opened in October 2012, was aimed at the high levels of light that were used throughout the show scenes, in particular the large central "under the sea" scene. Much of the ceiling was visible, exposing utility piping and fixtures. The new lighting scheme is closer to the existing Fantasyland rides, using a combination of regular lighting and black light. The change is subtle, but improves the appearance of the scene. Some of the figures also now include real hair, instead of the solid plastic look. The "kiss the girl" scene in particular is improved.
