Must do for any one that loves this story or wants to be mesmerized by the animatronics. The ride has a great pace and doesn't feel overstimulating.

Superbe attraction, mes couleurs, ma musique nous sommes vraiment plongé dans le monde de la petite sirène.
C'est un dark ride dans un coquillage qui est assez long, toutes les étapes du dessin animé y sont représentées.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life is the Bubbles!
This ride is an absolute delight and a must-do for any Little Mermaid fan. The experience starts before you even get on the clam shell—the queue winding through Prince Eric's castle and the caverns is stunning and beautifully detailed.
The ride itself is a relaxing, slow-moving journey that retells the movie perfectly. The "Under the Sea" scene is the showstopper; it’s vibrant, energetic, and filled with so many animatronics you spot something new every time. The Ursala animatronic is also impressively massive and lifelike!
It’s a great ride to escape the heat, usually has a fast-moving line, and leaves you smiling. A true Fantasyland gem.
