Rides often have to close temporarily to get refurbished, whether that means a complete overhaul or just some paint touch-ups and simple tech updates. Because of this, it’s important to check the refurbishment calendars before you head out on your Disney vacation, that way you’re not caught off guard!

If you’re planning a trip to Disney California Adventure soon, you need to know about a new closure that was added to the calendar. The Little Mermaid — Ariel’s Undersea Adventure will be closed for refurbishment starting on Monday, November 4th, 2024.

At this time, there’s not a posted reopening date for the ride, as the calendar only goes out to mid-November. The ride’s webpage has not been updated with a reopening date as well. But for those traveling in November, you might want to be aware of how this will affect your trip.

The attraction takes riders on a trip through the story of The Little Mermaid. Like its Disney World counterpart, you ride in a clamshell and follow Ariel through her many adventures on her way to happily ever after. It’s located in Paradise Gardens Park, and the wait time can fluctuate depending on how busy the park is that day.

During the time of the Little Mermaid closure, World of Color — ONE will also be closed at California Adventure. Over at Disneyland Park, Hungry Bear Restaurant, Disneyland Railroad, “it’s a small world,” Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, and The Briar Patch are all on the list.
