Construction began at The Little Mermaid – Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure in late August 2026, with the dark ride surrounded by extensive scaffolding and construction scrims. Disney applied themed scrims to the attraction by August 24, obscuring the ride from park guests. The closure marks the beginning of a planned overhaul to the Fantasyland area attraction, with Disney providing updates as the work progressed.
