Little Mermaid, and.....

* 100% votes for The Voyage of the Little Mermaid!! Whooooohoooo!!

My wife and I really enjoyed this show the first time we saw it, and were a bit disappointed to see that there's now a condensed version showing. We understand though, with attention spans of little ones and everything. Our daughter, when we took her at 2 years old, LOVED this show!

I have to also add that one of the funniest moments my wife and I had at Disney was here, but it was one of those "you had to be there" moments. We were filing into our seats, as was everyone else in the theater. It was a HOT July day, and the overall tone of the crowd was just a bit grouchy and annoyed. People kept trying to sit in the center, kept being forced to move, yadda yadda yadda.

The intro spiel starts, and the crowd quiets down. An older female CM is the "host" on the microphone, and she starts her spiel by saying "good afternoon, and welcome! My name is Dot", and she paused. Nobody reacted for a few seconds, and she still didn't continue. There was a fairly large group from the UK sitting behind us, and one of the men cupped his hands to his mouth and hollered "HEY DOT!" in his English accent. MY wife and I thought it was hysterical, because of what he hollered out, and because nobody else even seemed to notice what he said, including Dot.

To this day, if we're anywhere and I hear the word "Dot", or if I just want to, I holler "HEY DOT!" in my fake English accent, and we both about die laughing.

This is a landslide for the little mermaid.

[Imagineer1981]

I voted Little Mermaid too...but I'm a bit surprised that no one has voted for Playhouse Disney. I would expect that it is a pretty good show for smaller kids!

[avantgardeinker]

This was a little hard, because I haven't seen the new Playhouse Disney Live show and Voyage of the Little Mermaid isn't exactly my all-time favorite show. It's not bad... just not something I have to see everytime I'm there. I went ahead and voted for Playhouse Disney Live because of the expectations I have since they've updated the show. I hope I'm not disappointed.

The Little Mermaid! I love the show and its a great place to relax and cool off on a hot day (I wonder just how many shows my dad has slept through over the years? He likes the show but it never fails that half-way through the darkness and coolness overtake him and he is asleep! Of course the same can be said for CoP, the American Presidents show, and occassionally church :blush:).
