The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure as seen from PIxar Pier

Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid is a slow-moving dark ride in Disney California Adventure based on the 1989 animated feature, The Little Mermaid.

The facade entrance rotunda to this attraction is a scale version of San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts. This structure was originally built as the entrance to the now-defunct attraction, Golden Dreams, but was repainted for the opening of the Little Mermaid ride.

Right before the exit of the ride, be on the lookout for a tribute to the Little Mermaid’s original author, Hans Christian Andersen as well as Copenhagen’s famous Little Mermaid Statue (Den lille Havfrue).
