Walt Disney World is bringing back ‘mermaid school’ to select resorts
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Fans of “The Little Mermaid” will once again have their chance to learn how to swim like Ariel.
Disney World is bringing back its ‘mermaid school’ at a handful of resorts after first launching the experience last year. Starting Sunday, those who are at least 4 years old can take a one-hour course and learn how to swim in a pool like a mermaid.
Aspiring mermaids -- or "mer-students" -- will be fitted with a tail. At the end of the experience, they will receive a unique medallion to commemorate their time “under the sea,” Disney Parks Blog reports.
It’s $55 to join the mermaid school. The experience will be at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Riviera Resort.
Reservations for this experience are now open and can be made through 407-WDW-PLAY.
