Journey of the Little Mermaid Scheduled to Close in February for Refurbishment

New Fantasyland has been open for two years and one of the land's popular attractions is set to close for a refurbishment in February.

Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid will reportedly close on February 2 to undergo an extensive refurbishment. The ride is scheduled to reopen on March 6.

According to reports the refurbishments will be similar to those made to the Disneyland version of the attraction earlier this year.

When it comes to Disney World, trip planning is huge undertaking. In fact, many a first visit to Disney World is marred by a lack of planning. While it might be tempting to think that it's "just a theme park," and that you can show up and have a blast by winging it, the size and complexity of the resort is daunting even for experts. These articles will help you make the most of your Disney trip, and might even introduce you to some activities and attractions you haven't heard about!

While I love most of the attractions at Walt Disney World, I have a great fondness for what we like to call "chill rides."
