What it is

Glide through Ariel's story in clamshell omnimovers, from "Under the Sea" to the happily-ever-after. Continuous loading keeps waits short almost all day.

How to do it right

  • Omnimover loads continuously - one of the most reliable short waits in the park
  • Great midday air-conditioning break with little ones
  • Save your Multi Pass credits for bigger rides unless waits spike

Best time to ride

  • Midday heat break
  • Anytime - continuous loading means short waits
