MGM - Mermaid Show

What's this like? Is this a good show for older kids?

I guess this could be one MORE thing that we might need to do.

Re: MGM - Mermaid Show

I loved the show! So did everyone in my family. I guess it depends on the kids if they will like it. If they like shows in general then they will like it. It has a mixture of live singing, glow in the dark puppets, and animation. I say go! You should at least see it once, I think you and your kids will like it.

Re: MGM - Mermaid Show

You mean Voyage of the Little Mermaid? Similar to the old Lion King show in the Magic Kingdom. A retelling of the movie, using bits of the movie, puppets and actors. All my kids like it, even my 15 year old. Well, they put up with it. It is worth doing once, plus it is nice and cool in there. It is very clever how they have done it, I think all of you will like it first time through.

Even OLDER KIDS ( 45 & 50+) enjoy it. We usually make it a stop after TGMR Matt. As others have said, it is a nice cool resting place, a good mix of puppets, actors and animatronics and love the music (older kids may think it is a little corny though).

Re: MGM - Mermaid Show

It's a cute show, and it's not too long. Pete loves it, of course, because of Ariel (he was NOT happy that her Grotto was closed while we were there last week!) I could skip it, but I'm not really one for shows.

Yes Matt, this is a very good show, just a little too short.

Re: MGM - Mermaid Show

Another two thumbs up. We love this show. My kids loved it when they were 8 and 9 and they love it now at 20 and 21. Mermaids, princes, crabs, mist and bubbles - what's not to love?
