Mermaid Lagoon at Tokyo DisneySea, Japan


(April 2019) It's hard to explain exactly what it's like visiting Mermaid Lagoon in Tokyo DisneySea.  The outside is currently the only castle in the DisneySea park, Triton's undersea palace, and as you go underneath you're greeted with sea wonders.  It's essentially an underground Bug's Life playland, if you ever visited that section of California Adventure before being replaced with the soon to be Avengers Campus.  Mermaid Lagoon is a delight to see with an incredibly neat atmosphere.

Along with simple kiddie rides, an eatery, and a shop, there's also a Mermaid Lagoon Theater where King Triton's Concert is performed.  There's projections and video, but also a live performer playing Ariel suspended on wire as she "swims" above the audience.  The show is in Japanese, but still enjoyable.

If you're able to visit Tokyo DisneySea don't gloss over Mermaid Lagoon.  It's easy to miss, tucked away in between Mysterious Island and the Arabian Coast.  Even if you don't want to see the show or take kids on the rides, it's worth a walk through.
