Disney Begins Exterior Refurbishment on Little Mermaid Ride at California Adventure

Park-watch photos show scaffolding and barriers for a routine repainting project that should not affect the ride’s operation.

Overview

  • The exterior work started after photos published on August 8 showed plywood construction walls, scaffolding, and black scrims erected around The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure.
  • Most of the right-side facade is covered by scaffolding and scrim while construction walls run from the main entrance down the right side of the building.
  • Park outlets and on-site images report the attraction remains open and operating normally, with no announced closure and no visible impact to the ride system.
  • Disneyland Resort has not issued a statement, which aligns with the park’s usual practice of handling guest-facing maintenance without formal announcements.
  • The work appears confined to exterior repainting and could be followed by themed printed scrims if the project lasts longer, with limited effect on guest access through Paradise Gardens Park.
