Will the Little Mermaid ride be open when we go the day after Thanksgiving? I know everywhere says that there will be a ''soft'' opening, does this mean it will be able to be rode? ?
In your favor, it's a very fast loader. Still, the lines will be pretty long when it's "new." I'd plan on getting there first thing in the morning. It's not a major ride (think expanded Fantasyland dark ride, similar to Nemo at Epcot), and you won't want to have spent an hour of your day waiting to ride.
Rode it during Thanksgiving week. Had already been on the one at California Adventure (same ride but the Fantasyland exterior is far superior with an interactive queque). Fun ride but not worth more than 30 minute wait.
